I avoided getting into PAK at the time, I was focused too much on Hot Toys and Hasbro stuff. Kind of silly looking back now, but I learned my lesson. Now I only collect PAK, Figma, Tamashii Nations, and Kotobukiya. Primarly anyway. I feel like all four of those brands/companies are pretty much the top tier of all.
By the way Plissken, I love your MGS collection. I always reference your link when I need to research or compare MGS stuff. I still need to get a MGR Raiden, I'm thinking standard or blue. If I'm correct, there isn't really a completely game accurate version is there?
