Metal Gear Solid collectibles

[Snake Plissken]

It's a reissue.

 

[FSLAR]

Huh, weird. Might jump on this...assuming anyone thinks having multiple big bosses is a good idea?

 

[Snake Plissken]

If you don't already own it, pick it up.

So I just went on BBTS, and spotted a thumbnail of this...Pre-order?

Is this a re-issue? SQEX never does those

So does this mean there is hope for a solid snake and ninja reissue?

Doubtful. The sneaking suit Big Boss has been reissued a few times already.

 

[Solidus]

That Sneaking Suit BB is a lot more affordable than the GZ figure, that's for sure.

So that's why it's been in stock on a few sites and even a store in my town then, ok.

Solidus is correct as well.

oh and also big bad toy store has koto rex original version for $90 but it has subpar packaging. itd be nice for someone who wants to build one.

 

[lerath666]

[WellCQCaboutthat]

weird that theyd reissue an old sub par figure when they just put out a massively updated version... I guess the Bandana is incentive. but this figure was not hard to come by for cheap.

And if you want one I highly recommend going with the ground zeroes version, far superior

The PAK PW Snake had the best headsculpt of them all.

Thats a personal taste thing though, I think the new one is a huge improvement, also the PW line are all a smaller scale, so for someone wanting the best pieces possible that are cohesive the GZ ver is the one to get

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Not really as the PAK PW has the best likeness to the design it's trying to represent. Where as the GZ one hasn't as good a likeness

Whether you like the PW render and scale is personal taste

likeness is a personal taste as you two think PW is better and Im saying GZ is better... obviously its a personal taste on which we prefer

Theres nothing subjective about that at all. The PW one has the more accurate head.

It's not about which we prefer, it's about which is a better likeness.

Couldn't find one of BB with his hair but the PAK hair isn't right on the GZ figure. Not saying it's bad likeness at all because it's not that bad to be fair.

You can find flaws in both

shape of PW chin is off, and width of GZ face is off (looks like the eye patch could be a smidge bigger too), beards on both arent the best, but theres only so much you can achieve with sculpting

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yes but that's not the point is it? it was said which had a better likeness, not which had more flaws than the other.

As i added to the last post the GZ one isn't all that bad, i have the figure myself but the head is not as accurate to the character design as the PW one.

You can find flaws in both

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I would agree if you want a better overall figure then go for the GZ one though
