hi /toy/, what's the best snake figure?
also, is pic related really as bad as people say?
Probably the Vulcanlog or the Figma
>>5657232
the Micro Yamaguchi/Revol figure is worse
>>5657254
the vulconlogs face looks rough, and the figma looks nice but i don't care much for snake's mgs2 design
jesus fuck, looks like the solid snake nendo has gotten expensive. i'm seeing triple digits
>>5657232
The PAK is absolute shit. Loose upper torso joint, terrible gap near the upper chest joint, face looks too thin and it's way too expensive, even before post release price hikes.
The only good one out there is the hot toys Snake Eater version, but that's ludicrously expensive.
>own pic related
>thought he was awesome until his leg popped off one day for no good reason
>arms covered in chalky shit where the writing has smeared
>tried to take his clothes off to replace the body, just ended up damaging him further
>he's been sitting in my closet somewhere ever since
i'm too retarded to fix him unfortunately, may as well sell him as extra parts on ebay
to be honest all i want is a decent mgs1 snake toy, no weird stylized thunderthighs or meth face, just a nice 6" solid snake with the socom, famas and a few other goodies. if the mcfarlane had that plus a working stinger launcher, gas mask, goggles, and c4 then why is this so hard to do in 2016?

>the vulconlogs face looks rough
It's really not that bad in-hand compared to some photos floating around the net. He's worth it even as the only good Big Boss 1:12 figure.
>>5657232
Best Venom: Sneaking Suit Vulcanlog
Best Solid: MGS2 Figma Snake, MGS1 Revolmini Snake if you want MGS1 Snake
Best Big Boss/Naked: None, you're shit outta luck
Best Raiden: Revoltech Revegence Raiden
Best REX: 3A Half Size REX
Best Ray: 3A Half Size RAY
>>5657552
The Revoltech Snake Eater is pretty fun in hand. If you squint real hard he kinda looks like Wood's stylized art.
>>5657552
not hot toys or medicom for bigboss and raiden?
>>5657619
It's dissapointing how much better the face on Big Boss looks compared to the figma.
>>5657619
Im jealous that your figma snake actually has a decent face, mine is much much worse than that. The eyes on mine are soulless.
The best mgs toy is pequod.
>>5657989
>>This is Pequod, arriving on station
>>5657832
Just do what I do and find a way to keep his cringing face on. My cringing face looks perfect while his neutral is okay.
>>5657832
I was so scared when I ordered mine recently because I've seen some real bad faces but I think mine is alright
>>5658032
>arriving on station
ITS LZ, YOU DOLT.
>>5658159
While the sculpt could be better, I really think it's the paint that really killed the look of it. The shadowing and beard look completely and utterly awful.
>>5657232
Vulcanlog
>>5657348
I promise, the face in nowhere near as bad as promo pics made it out to be. Definite a bit stylized, but this Snake's a beefcake, anyway.
>>5658263
it's a decent looking human face, but that's not his face. it's just a random old guy face.
he looks like my neighbor...
>>5658204
On station at LZ.
>>5657552
agree with the half size. it's much more poseable and takes up just the right space while still looking large.
if you don't mind statueshit but in 1/12 scale naked, get the medicom udf. pak peacewalker is also alright
>>5657232
Best sculpt imho is the Medicom Ultra High Detail "Tiger Camo" Naked Snake
Unfortunately, it's a statue and it doesn't pose.
>>5658044
>that MGS1 Snake in the background
I'm dying.
>>5660612
Solid Balboa always was the best.
>>5657832
You gotta shift the eyes right. Easiest is to center both pupils, then move them slightly up so about 10% goes under his eyelids so it looks more natural. If not he'll have a "seen some shit" face.
>>5657552
The PAK Big Boss is the best we're gonna get.
>>5657619
Yeah, the Revoltech Big Boss is actually pretty good and aged decently. The head sculpt being based on Wood's stylized art makes sense too since it's actually from Peace Walker.
>>5660850
Different anon but yeah, PAK Big Boss from Peace Walker was literally as game accurate as you can get for Big Boss. The Revoltech from Peace Walker is a pretty good alternative too if you don't mind Revoltech joints and the head sculpt resembling Wood's style for MGS. Kinda funny how Peace Walker actually got some of the best figures for a portable game.
>>5660871
Depending on how things go, might pick one up for the hell of it.
The GZ Revo is just a simple head swap, isn't it?
>>5658151
Ours look exactly the same. It's those fucking creepy eyes are weird shading around them that puts me off, otherwise it's a decent figure with a bit of a problem of loose hips and legs.
>>5661723
Gz snek has NVG, iDroid, knife instead of the stn rod and the MRS-4 instead of that giant gun
>>5657232
When will we get a Quiet?!?!
Not that 12ft Play Arts shit that goes for $300,000
I really want a Revoltech Quiet to go with my Snek
This seems like as good a place as any to ask, are there any decent Meryl figures? No PAKs.
>>5663378
Unless you like McFarlane totally-not-a-statue or a 1/6 cloth clothing figure, you're fucked.
If only they made a gi joe line of MGS figures.
>>5663418
I have the derpy McFarlane one. :/. Oh well.
>>5663273
We all want that.
They've proven they can do hot naked articulated babes with Queens blade. I don't know what the hold up is.
>>5657232
I think it's the revo, it's literally the only snake face that actually matches his in game look.
>>5663534
revol*
>>5663522
Licencing maybe?
Fk knows, They'd certainly get their moneys worth if they did make Quiet. Why not do a limited supply to test the market demand? Ugggh, Hurry up and take my money Revoltech.
>>5663607
Sculptor accidentally cut his hands off while trying to rub one out at the table while sculpting Quiet's great big honkin' chesticles.
>>5663777
Sounds plausible DESU
>>5657232
I got a Metal Gear Solid Play Arts Kai 25th Anniversary Solid Snake Action Figure
that i am considering selling, goes for 4times what i bought it for.
>>5663792
>>5657232
Face looks a bit weird tho.
but at least its not david bowie tier like that The Boss figure
>>5661726
You got the loose waist as well? I don't know what's up with it, as soon as I touch him his waist moves so much
>>5665871
Not him but I did get the loose waste. Dicking around and he actually split in two. The way his waste joints are placed are retarded and one of the sockets is way too fucking loose. 2nd major QC error mine had.
>>5663794
Did I someone say bowie
I have got Naked Snake from Hot Toys and Ground Zeroes Big Boss from PAK.
I am waiting on Hot Toys to release their version of Venom Snake and Quiet, it will fuck my wallet but whatever.
>>5663792
I'll buy it from you. Don't fuck me with the price bro
>>5663273
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS WEBM
Mine is damn good!
>>5663607
Maybe the Kojima / Konami war put the MGS license into limbo?
