Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

I like both his MGS1 & 2 looks equally. For me he, is the best video game character of all time, I just hope HT make him.

MGS2 Raiden with alternate head of his SCUBA mask would be great too.

I just hope for a multiple reveal of 5 or 6 figures on display somewhere, like the Resi 4 figures. Loved that. Wonder how far along, and how long, they have been working on this. If at all.

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

I don't know, I thought Naked Snake from MGS3 looked pretty much exactly like Solid Snake from MGS2. I think the progression of graphical capabilities throughout the series may have something to do with people thinking that Snake from MGS1 had an anime look. I'm pretty sure they'll give them all a similar, realistic looking sculpts if they make them from all of the games.

Just remember the first trailer (8') of MGS3.. because they used the same facial model for Naked Snake than Snake from MGS2 , but the following trailers they "changed" the facial model..(besides the progression of graphical capabilities)



Final MGS3 naked snake in the game:

Big boss: MGS3 game:

Snake from MGS4

Big Boss from Peace Walker artwork:

Basically has the same facial model but with slight or small differences in facial features,(although the final result is remarkable), so I think that Ht would make the headsculpts very different from each other.

well mgs have lots of characters people would love to be made. but i don't see them making everyone of em, it would be hella nice though. with the mms line as a prio, i would like to see a least 4-5 mgs figures in 2011. re4 had 5, re5 have 7, but most were same characters with different looks. so we'll just have to wait and see.

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

Personally, I would love if this series was all based on the artwork of Yoji Shinkawa, the Japanese artist who basically came up with all the looks we all know and love since Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation. Google his name with Metal Gear & treat yourself to hundreds of sketches of Snake, Merly, Fox-Hound, Solidius, Big Boss etc ...
I'd also love an old Big Boss with suit and trenchcoat. That would be epic and would look perfect next to a Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and Solidius Snake.

HT will not make an extensive line of MGS figures. BOOK IT!

They'll make only a few versions of Snake, and that's it. Maybe one or two villains at the most, and nothing else. With bigger fish to fry, this line will not be delved into or picked apart extensively...

Not going to happen.

yeah, loved his works. but only problem is that it's hard to base a 3d image of it. cuz his works looks like rough sketches. same thing with yo____aka amano. square had to go with Tetsuya Nomura cuz they couldn't make out some of amano's details when trying to make a 3d model of the characters.

Ha. Who are you to tell ME to "book it", kid?
Unless you work for Hot Toys and have inside information on who they plan on producing? But I highly doubt that.
So why don't you go back into your corner and remain quiet. You can come out of the corner if you promise to contribute to this discussion in a civilized manner. Right now, everyone is simply speculating on who they'd like to see from this series. At this point, no one's guesses are right or wrong. Besides, what's so impossible to believe about a Liquid Snake, the MAIN villian of MGS, or Solidius, the MAIN villian of MGS2, being considered for the figure treatment anyway?
Lame, dude. Real lame.

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

I don't understand the logic of wanting figures 'based on Yoji's art'.

The 3D game renders are based on that artwork obviously, and the figures will be based off of the renders. SO the HT stuff is effectively base off of Yoji's art.





Just give me an MGS2 Solid Snake, (pref with Pliskin gear), and I am golden. Anything else is just pure icing.

true, but the old 3d game render is not as detailed as the newer games (mainly mgs1). which is why making the figures based on the newer games is such a convenient.

well there's some truth in that. i mean i don't see ht going all out on the series. not unless they change their policy on the vg series. some people were bummed out that they chose to make the mgs3 line. but i don't work for ht or know anything bout it, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Source?

Oh hang on, 'your opinion' is the source.


No-one knows what they have plannned except HT and possibly KONAMI/Hideo. Bet this licence, (if all encompassing), was relatively pricey and considering their VGM line is very small, MGS, with the extensive character base, would be ripe for pumping out a lot of figures from. The fans would lap up each and every release also.

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

I agree with Snake Eater; we're going to see some legs with this license. The execs are big fans of MGS, and we'll see at least the level of Resident Evil VGM line dedication here. The only question for me is 3A Rex or these figs.

I'll buy old snake if they do him for sure though.

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

I just think MGS3 has received too much attention over the years every piece of merch seems to steam from MGS3 from the medicom 6 inch figs to the 1/6 scale figures...it's all MGS3, with the exception of Raiden and Old Snake from MGS4..which sucked IMHO.

Besides the McFarlene figures and the small scale unposeable japanese PVC there hasn't been anything for MGS or MGS2.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

MGS2 would be my first choice for figures, closely followed by MGS3.

MGS3 is my favourite, but we do have a lot of merch from it already indeed.

MGS2 Snake
MGS2 Raiden
MGS2 Vamp

Yes please HT!

yeah but those who hate medicom with a passion welcome it. i don't mind the medicom ones, but there are those who are auctioning their snake already after hearing the news of ht's licensing, lol

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

I won't be letting go of my repainted Medicom Tiger Stripe. I love him so.

Exactly. They could also pull a Medicom and give a couple variations of a figure. (see Iron Man, Joker, Batman) Not to mention they could also give us a DX version from each game. I would honestly buy figures from all main 3 games. I love the series that much.
