What body does Medicom MGS3 Snake use?

[Mookeylama]

hey would anyone happen to know exactly what Medi body the Croc cap Snake originally came on? was it the slim version, or the more muscular one w/ the muscle plates? did it have ankle extenders or no? like was he as tall as other 1/6 or short like Medi's movie characters (ie: Jack Sparrow)? thanks!

it's a body unique to snake actually.

its medicom Kai Body, pretty fragile, the muscular one. Pretty hard to find, but it seems they're going to release their body products, the slim one, but you could attach the muscular stuffs on the slim body

Ive been experiencing a lot of fragility issues with medicom body, so be careful dude!

no kidding on the fragility. I think medicom would have done better to make the joints out of glass. then they would be less likely to break.

Glass is pretty tough really. Ever tried to break a bottle? It's harder than you think. So that really isn't a snide comment against medicom.

1) I suggested they START MAKING them out of glass , as it would be less fragile then the plastic they currently use.

2) it's not a snide comment if it's true. Then it's simply an unpleasant truth. another unpleasant truth is i am very fat. I was replacing shoulders and hips on my medicom figures at least once every 3 months. I'd pose them, leave them alone for a while, come back to re-pose them after a month or so, and snap. My Red and blue comic spidey had both hips break as i was taking him out of the box. my jango fett arrived with both shoulders already broken. My venom's shoulders FELL APART on his own.

3) Not sure about you, I've never had trouble breaking a glass bottle when i wanted to

 

[crowinghorse]

the comment makes perfect sense since he said if made from glass, they'd be LESS likely to break...

I've had breakage issues on all of my MGS RAH figures...
Bad bodies - had to replace my MGS4 Old Snake figure's body with a Hot Toys True Type - much much better now...though the articulation is still limited due to the rubber-like suit.

 

[lerath666]

I've still got some of my medicom figures, but I've sold or given away the bodies on all but 3.

L
Kira
Edward Elric

i'm slowly replacing the bodies on all my medicom figures. i need to find suitable replacements for L and kira.

Anyone have any idea on how to replace goku's rubber neck/chest

Its the kai body with extra forearm muscles.

Might as well just mod it with a HT Slim body. With the HT slim body, the forearm are already bigger than Medicom's so it's a good replacement. Will need to mod the Medi hands to fit the TT though.

I already did the mod with my Spiderman 3 when the medi broke at the hip. Now I can pose my Spidey with abandon.
