What's the best Snake figure?
>>5369624
They all have their problems. I like the GZ variant of that and the figma myself.
>>5369624
Just bit the bullet on a Peace Walker Snake PAK. Thought it didn't have too much of that over-shadowing they usually have in the paint. We'll see next tuesday I guess.
>>5369624
Either version of the Revoltech Snake is arguably the best in terms of articulation, accessories, and likeness for Naked Snake/Big Boss. The figma Solid Snake, while notorious for shit paint apps in the face, is still the best representation of Solid in 1/12 thus far. The Revolminis are quite good as well but they're in 1/18 scale.
>>5369735
Revolmini (olive drab version) is fantastic. If you can deal with it being the size of a Marvel Universe figure, it's well worth the money.
>>5369791
>>5369624
Fagma
>>5369793
The other version's alright but it doesn't have the paint wash of the olive drab release, nor does it have the scuffing on the boots and other small details. It's a very flat-looking figure.
>>5369624
the upcoming venom snake revoltech/vulcanlog looks like it will be really good
this one
breh
figma snake m8
>>5369899
Damn that's really nice. I've heard the paint can be a little shitty on some of the figs though so I'd worry about buying one online.
I too predict the Vulcanlog will be the favored figure for most. Especially since the face looks much better than the promo shots.
>>5369951
I've got two figma snakes - both have their flaws with paint apps, but it's a ton of fun.
however - it's not EIGHT DOLLARS fun like on ebay, if you can get one for fifty and love the character - then yes, go for it.
>>5370063
Ill happily trade my Ulysses S. Grant for a Solid Snake
>>5369624
>>5370063
Wish I could find a Snake figma, or any figma for that matter, for 8 bucks.
shit sorry, meant eighty.
>>5369899
> Posting the promo figure
Jesus dude, stop trying to trick people.
>>5370966
Wow that guy purposely lifted the hair and made him crosseyed to make his shit custom seem good. sneaky sneaky
>>5370984
I mean, ok, but it's still a shitty face compared to the promo figure.
These two are pretty good in my opinion.
>>5370995
Yeah i know, i just thought that was funny.
>>5370984
Yeah that guy makes the original figure look as shitty as possible so his customs look better in comparison. It's like how he uses shitty lighting on the PAKs and decent lighting on the customs
The HGUC MS-006 Zaku II by bandai is arguably the best snake on the market
Nendo ya dingus
>>5371378
As cool as the PS1 head is, it doesn't look good on the Nendoroid body.
>tfw no Playstation Solid Snake Revoltech/figma
Why live, etc.
What's the best snake statue I can get?
What is this one called?
>>5371553
Vulcanlog Venom Snake
>>5371388
Would be sort of funny if they revisit Snake after those Virtua Fighter figmas come out just to do a MGS1 version.
>>5371564
Yeah but seeing the photos from the Revo general expect Vulcanlog Snake to be far more articulated than the Revo mini one given the size and revolver joints.
>>5370034
Depends how you like your Snake. It would be neat to see a regular "fatigues" Snake after the Sneaking Suit revo this month.
>>5371553
thats the only angle he looks good.
\they need to fire the fuck out of the face scultper
>>5371574
I think it looks alright. He does okay work compared to some SHFs and figmas head sculpts.
I ordered the figma Snake last night, I was tempted to get the PAK big boss, but Snake will will be fun to pose around with some of my other figs. I'm just hoping his face is good
What's the best Snake Eater's Snake figure?
>>5371852
i fucking showed you you fucking piece of shit
>>5371715
you inspired me to do the same
ill be getting mine next week
what a thrill

>sneaking suit
What about camouflage version?
>>5371873
>camouflage
There is a strange curse on any snake figure where you just cant win.
Examples are this hot toys snake looks great but the suit is a stupid choice
ALL the PAK Snakes faces look like complete shit but their bodies are great
The figma snake is a 10/10 sculpt but for some reason the paint artist was possessed by a dead PAK's painter or something and threw unnecessary shadowing on his face
>>5371869
mfw
>>5371553
That's this one.
>>5370995
>that beard
Is this a joke? It's like someone use the pencil tool in pain and randomly smash your mouse button.
>>5371868
I'm pretty excited so now I can pose him sneaking him around my storm troopers and Spartans.
>>5370966
>that shitty custom paintjob
>giving SOLID SNAKE a full beard ever
I can't believe I ever defended that faggot
>>5370966
>misplacing the eyes
everytime
Figma Solid Snake or PAK Solid Snake?
Which one's face looks less shit?
>>5370984
Do you even own the damn thing? That's how it is right out of the box.
>>5372624
I'd say the PAK looks better, but Figma's is like 50-100 and PAK is around 400.
>>5370034
>Especially since the face looks much better than the promo shots.
I dunno man, I think that remains to be seen. It does look ok in Yamaguchi's recent shots, but he hasn't really shown us a detailed front-on shot of the final product yet--which is where the head looked the worst even in the oldest shots. You can hide a lot of flaws with the right camera angles.
>>5372779
Yep. If they refuse to give a proper frontal shot, then there's probably a reason for that.
>>5371564
No.
The Vulcanlog and the Revolmini are seperate lines.
The Vulcanlog snake is the typical 1/12 scale figure and the Revolmini is closer to a 1/18 scale figure.
>>5371953
> ALL the PAK Snakes faces look like complete shit but their bodies are great
I disagree with you.
Just bought the fagma Snake, is the paint good or bad?
>>5373861
Get a better lightning on his face.
>>5373936
>>5373985
Not so young anymore, eh Snake? You're drowning in time, brother!
>>5373083
his profile is a fucking joke
dont lie to yourself
>>5374143
I don't know anon, it seems to be similar to the other Snake's people posted. Beard is hardly there and looks typical from the stuff people got after release.
>>5372243
it looks like john reys davies.
>>5372624
Figma is the most disappointing, because usually you expect better from them. PAK is just okay, but I'm not feeling like getting my wallet raped.
>tfw months ago on ebay missed out on PW and GZ revoltech Big Bosses plus the extra stuff from one of the collector's editions altogether going for $70
I will never forgive myself. At least my Figma Snake ended up looking decent.
>>5369899
May have to agree. Though for me it's pretty close. The Play Arts Kai Sneaking Suit Venom Snake is also nice enough.
My favourite part about the figma however is its ability to hold the rifle properly. The articulation is mad efficient.
At this point my MGS collection is surprisingly large. I don't usually collect more than a single version of any character, but for them I'm slowly getting 'em all. My next is likely the Vulcanlog Venom Snake, or the Revol-mini Solid Snake.
Is there a "definitive" Snake? Just a default Snake in a sneaking suit.
>>5375532
For a decent price point? I'd say the Revol-mini Solid Snake, or really any of the Revoltech MGS figures. The Vulvanlog Sneaking Suit Venom Snake looks particularly nifty.
Granted, I don't own any of them, but they look neat.
>>5375532
Between the two iconic suits you probably want either the Revolmini or Figma Solid Snakes. Figma is really fun to pose but has the obvious face issues, and Revolmini is pretty good from what I've seen but I don't collect that scale so I've never gotten a chance to try him out myself. If you want Big Boss I've had a blast with the revoltech Peace Walker Snake and I heard that the GZ version is exactly the same. Play Arts Kai Solid looks weird in the face from being too red, and since he's big it's pretty noticeable. I don't have any PAK Big Bosses but they all look like the best out of the PAK MGS line (Venom Snakes notwithstanding). If you don't mind scale I'd like to recommend Revolmini Solid since the MGS1 sneaking suit is about as iconic as the MGS2 suit and he has plenty of accessories. If you want Big Boss the Peace Walker revoltech is great, a decent amoutn of accessories like the revolmini too.
I'm torn between PW and GZ revos. What do?
>>5375948
PW is cheaper and has real weapons. Their sneaking suits are identical even though GZ had some differences to PW's suit. Hope that helps.
>>5375948
Do you like the head on the GZ one?
Yes > Get that
No > Get the PW one
>>5370034
This style works really well for Metal Gear and I hope the people who will make the new games will use it someday. The artstyle of the sculpting is the best part of revoltech metal gear figures.
although snakes face changed dramatically from peacewalker+
(naked snake was really good looking in mgs3 and with peace walker he looked almost like a different "im dead inside" person)
i think they did a great job on the peace walker play arts kai big boss figure... like... a REALLY fucking good job with likeness.
im still super upset PAK never made a PAZ figure...
Damn, I got into collecting this shit too late
>Revo mini Fox
>Figma Snake
>3a
>all at ridiculous prices
The cheapest I can find the first two are $70 minimum
>>5371873
There's this, but it's ten years old and it shows. Also costs a shitload.
>>5371873
>>5377165
And then there's this version that looks much better.
>>5376933
It'd just be a bunch of ground meat
Where do I get a Figma Paz at non-rape prices?
>>5370034
When is that coming out? End of this month?
>>5376921
Good to know I made a good purchase. Gonna take pics of him tomorrow if people are interested.
>>5378120
Could always use some motivation. I made the terrible decision of selling my Peace Walker Sneaking Suit Snake. Now I'm on the fence about picking up another.
>>5377274
What?
>>5378371
It's a joke
nendos are the only mgs figs with good paint jobs tbqh, stop fighting over the baby snake fagma, the ugly face revlotechs and the wallet rape PAK shit
>>5378120
please take pictures anon
i must see him! im purchasing one on wednesday
>>5376753
if you plan to get the new venon snake
if yes get GZ and you swap the arms and head for a "real" big boss
if no go for PW and enjoy the ! and ZZZ effect parts
Sweet Snake, duh
>>5370034
Anyone know where I can order the Vulcanlong Snake for a decent price?
>>5381688

Are the MGSV Hot Toys figures still coming? They announced they had the license almost a year ago but they haven't showed anything else
>>5385214
What about kotobukiya sally?
>>5385802
I thought they announced the license this past summer? Anyway, Best case scenario IMO is like end of 2016 early 2017
