Hey /toy/, was looking for opinions on this Metal Gear Rex. Is it a decent figure? Any notable problems with it?
>>5628748
Great little desk toy. The included stand is needed as Rex struggles to stand on his own most of the time.
Snake and Liquid are pretty much useless at standing up on their own. They can do it but they will fall at the slightest breeze.
The amount of articulation is way more than you might expect too. I wouldn't have really said it was worth the price it released at but I loved the Rex design enough to overlook it.
Also, the inside box card comes out with little cardboard boxes and ! signs to cut out.
>>5628748
Seems massively overpriced for being so tiny and I couldn't find a single video review.
>>5628804
Is he too heavy, or are his joints floppy and weak or something?
And yeah it seems expensive, but it's not like theres many choices for a Rex figure available. And this is the cheapest.
>>5628821
Joints are fine, not a single complaint.
Not that heavy either but his centre of balance is fucked and so falls over backwards if you balance him on the ends of his feet. So expect to use a stand if you are going for a pose like in the picture in the OP.
>>5628840
Yeah, also has his little heels for basic standing around as in that picture. Forgot to mention that.
>>5628840
Another question, since you seem to have a bunch of figures. Hows he look with the revoltech Solid Snake, if you've got one? This D-Spec Rex looks to be around 4-5 inches, right? So he's about the same size as the revomini?
I ended up selling mine for cheap because I didn't like it. It has weak friction joints and needs the stand for holding itself up at all. It was a pretty major disappointment for me.
As far as sculpt, paint and accuracy goes, it was pretty nice though. The playability just wasn't there though so I had to get rid of it. If you just want something to display, it's fine, but playing with it is mostly out.
>>5628844
It's not the best picture but should work at giving a idea on the size comparison.
>>5628852
Would a MegaBloks COD figure fit in the cockpit?
>>5628870
The Snake and Liquid are about a centimetre tall so I'd assume not.
>>5628852
Thanks, that gives me a good idea of the size relative to most things.
>>5628852
For the price i'd say go for the half size.
>>5629060
Seconded.
Compared to the other figure's price, you'd be crazy not to.
>>5629075
I got it for just under $200 shipped as a 3AA member, but I think the MSRP is about $230
>>5629079
get some of the batteries it needs from amazon and you're good to go. Downside for me though my railgun doesn't work properly light wise but, the ones in the head are fuckin grand.
>>5628748
Hmm just reminded me that I bought one and I have yet to open it for 2 months.
I bought 2 hangars just to go with Rex and also my other mechs for photo ops.
>>5629098
Looks great.
I need to get batteries for about a dozen or more figures now. I haven't had batteries for mine yet so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the railgun works.
>>5629072
never even played MGS but damn if i dont want this toy. Maybe ill get it when i start my job
>>5629060
Isn't that the one you have to assemble? I'm not good with that kind of stuff.
>>5629924
The 3A half size is a toy, not a model. An expensive as fuck toy for collectors, but still a toy.
>>5629098
Rex here looks like he has a "what the fuck are you doing to mai waifu" expression
>>5629523
Anyone? Trying to decide between this, the mini rex in the OP, and a UW Devastator because I fukken love robots but all of this shit is way too expensive to buy at once.
>>5630303
And hey, while I'm hoping someone can answer the above, can you move the railgun up/down?
>>5629924
You have to put the railgun on, thats it. No painting no nothing, but batteries are a bitch to buy and this nigga needs 9 of them.
>>5629523
At first i was like "Ah shit i'm probably gonna break this fucking thing" but after a bit i've gotten used to his joints and he's a lot easier to move about.
>>5629115
If it does let me see how that shit looks cause i'll be jelly. The blue lights are fucking nice though.
>>5630749
Why's it so...Green? Wasn't it grey in the game?
>>5629098
you paid 200 bucks for what is technically a defective item and you just went ahead and kept getting your ass fucked?
jesus christ, you people are retarded
>>5632637
pfft whatever nigger, shit looks cool so i'm fine with it. Go back to playing with your neca shit bruh.
>>5632666
you're fine with paying 200 dollars for a broken item? and your excuse is because it looks cool?
fuck, you're even more mentally handicapped that i thought.
>le poorfag insult
at least my toys arent overpriced and broken oob
>>5632610
Green in it's first incarnation, grey come MGS4.
Plus under the right lighting it can look either or.
>>5632768
Eyyy, I have the exact same Queen setup only 100x more dusty(no detolf)!
>>5636953
That Queen is the shit, i like the Neca but the old Mcfarlane one just looks so much nicer to me.
