OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread..FINALLY A PHOTO!

[Solidus]

FInally!

The boss will sure complete my finished cobra unit!

Like the other atmI don't like that Snake head at all but will wait for more pics.

Honestly I don't care for that sneaking suit and would like a head without eye patch.

I think we'll definitely see a few more Snake figures, including one with a normal face (without eye patch). It'll be strange if Hot Toys just releases one Snake when every other company has released at least several different variants.

Let's hope for two heads, one with camo and for the eye patch to be removable

I hope they pack this guy to the brim with accessroeis and head and so on

I think that will be too close to the InFlames release. Honestly, I'd like a different figure for each camo. Also, the eye-patch will definitely look more realistic if it's sculpted on (take the Nick Fury figure, for example).

 

[Monger]

Thank the stars. I wanted The Boss so badly. I am glad she is going up as one of the first. Today is a good day. I better start putting money aside.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Boss looks great, other than the patriot i wonder what she'll come with?

She had a trench coat right?

 

[meanstreak]

I'm going to have to pass on a lot of other things, I already want these two and Batman Arkham City. I'm sure these are all going to be $180 and up.

 

[elvis1976]

A removing eye patch won't work.
Always looks fugly.
If they want to do the non eye patch look it would have to be two heads.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Can't see them doing a patchless head in this set. As mentioned, he gets this suit after his eye is shot out.

 

[elvis1976]

Yes i think you're right.
We will have one head with sneaking suit and call it a day.

Maybe we will get lucky and she will have her entire original outfit she wore at the beginning of the game, complete with the bandanna and such.

I wonder if they will do anyone else from 3. Ocelot is a must. Aside from him we would definitely need Eva and that could probably be enough. Part of me wants them to go for as much completion as possible, which would mean doing Colonel Volgin as well, but the other part of me wants to make sure they hit the big characters from each game before tackling the slightly less major ones. My greatest fear would be that they don't do all the main numbered games.

I do hate that they went with the 3DS one though we knew they would. That promotional art is nice, but I prefer the original style of 3. Also, the Sneaking Suit isn't really advertised for the original 3 since it was all about the cool jungle camos and such. I'm a bit disappointed they went with the sneaking suit in the end. It's best to save that for Solid.

 

[elvis1976]

I'm pretty sure they will just release the boss and snake.
Prolly another version of snake too but I think that wil be it.

I hope the boss will come with the pncho/cape thing.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

If they don't take asvantage of this license to it's fullest potential they are fecking stupid, they could do a bunch of characters before getting into versions of the same characters, and even if they did just want to do versions of the same characters they could do a whole mess of Solid Snakes from each game and Big Boss in camos, though i'd prefer Solid snake versions from 1-4

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Yes i think you're right.

Yeh think so. Possibly then a straight up Naked Snake release after that.

Hope they do MGS2.

I hear you but I feel like they will feck up
Don't know why.

I'm not really feeling HT anymore and their way of handeling franchise.

 

[Monger]

I have been thinking a lot about how much I love MGS recently and how I don't have any real figures from it. I have even been trying to track down a Metal Boss battle armor for a good price. Thank goodness I didn't go through with it in the end!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Same here unfortunately.

This licence has so much potential but knowing HT, especially of late, these two may be all we get.

Yeah that's what I am suspecting as well. I can't think of any other reason to actually use the 3DS designs. It is a bit of a shame too. Above all others we really need a Grey Fox and MGS4 Raiden complete with the coat. Also, a MGS1 Solid Snake of course.

 

[karamazov80]

But let's not forget how popular this franchise is in Asia. There is always a possibility that HT will only do one or two figures, but if something sells (read: Iron Man or Batman), then they'll release scores of figures, including the most random and obscure variants you can think of.

You bring up a good point. Let's hope for the best.

 

[Platty]

Yeah and look at their other video game license, resident evil, they put out quite a few figures from resident evil 5 alone, 2 Chris redfield's, Sheva, 2 weskers, 2 Jill's

I do believe we'll see another Big boss with no eye patch and a camo suit.
