BTW excellent score, SOLIDSNAKE!
I am holding out hope that Medi will go retro and make a MGS or MGS2 Snake someday...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Snake's hands will fit any figure as long as you have the "flippers." His hands are basically gloves that slide over the flippers, and the flippers have the same peg as regular Medi hands. I used to have Tiger Stripe Snake and he had the same type hands as Spidey 2.

I want to get those flip things,i searched on ebay in any possible word,but nothing,i really need a pair.Anyone know if these can be found easily?

 

[lerath666]

just wonderin, what exactly did you need them for?

A quick heads up - Bigbadtoystore.com has the 7" sets of 5 in stock for 85.00 if anyone is interested. They also claim the figures are articulated. We shall see.

yeaa i saw those !! they look cool but there is something fishy about them.

Yea, I need to see more/better photography before I make my decision.

The pics I have seen show poorly painted figures with extremely limited articulation. I just can't pull the trigger on these McFarlane wannabees that are more expensive.

Right, buy one 12 inch figure that is put together with tape and whose suit will tear the first time you move his arms ... As for limited articulation, the 12" isn't any better. 85 for 5 equals about 17 a figure - which is around the same cost as American figures in this scale, such as NECA and Mezco. I'd say they are rather good value for imported figures, Medi at that.

Yeah yeah I know, but that turned into Robocop for me. As for the other figures, I have no interest in most of the Snake figures. The only one I would want is the MGS2 Snake and shipping from BBTS would make it close to 25-30 for me. If I wanted the other figures, the 84 + shipping would be a great deal.

This figure totally kicks ass!!

yea true he is not totally possable and the material is weak but he looks kick ass !
I usually when I find a great pose I never move them again.

Hey SOLIDSNAKE, how is the figure holding up? Well worth the money? I am still debating on getting this. In person does he look accurate? How much did you pick him up for? I did order the set of the 7inch figures but it just does not satisfy me because of the limited articulation. Thanks.

 

[Furious1]

Mine is holding up great so far, I'm very happy with him. I know some people will say otherwise, but I am very satisfied.

he is holding out great !
I dont move him too much.
the only thing I dont like is that hes hads dont move and there is no interchangeble hands.

he was 179 at sideshow. thats where i got him from.
I dont agree to much with the price but he is really detail.
I say get him man he is really awsome.

I called a local shop that I had put a Takara Batman on hold when it comes in, I left a message to see if they received it and also asked if they carry Snake. They wont be back until next Tuesday. How is he compared to Naked Snake? The other reason I want Old Snake is because he is the Legend from NES games parts 1 and 2. You probably can answer this. Do you think that Medicom will make another version of Solid Snake young (MGS4)? I saw on youtube, they had a clip of him taking his mask of revealing to look young. Or is that just away to throw us off?

 

[Rock83]

Oh yeah this Guy is very accurate,very cool figure in itself.Only thing is the paint coming off.

I had an accident last week,the 2 lower fingers on his left hand cracked off after i posed him with the rifle,be careful with 2 those fingers,they cant be bended too much.I was really surprised how easily they cracked open.

I think they will make all the figures from past games.
MGS 1 AND 2

My Big Boss UDF arrived last Wednesday. The level of detail really is incredible. He even has 'real' wire for his codec.

He has cut joints at the shoulders, wrists and neck and has a removable hunting knife, CQC blade and M1911A1 with detachable supressor. Really awesome.

(Oh and sorry for the terrible pics, I am new to this forum and a) don't know how to upload except thumbnails and b) had to compress and reduce the size to even be allowed to post them!)

The only negative I have is that his feet are REALLY tiny! He stands fine though.
