Just received this great little garage kit of a GEKKO. It is 1/35 scale. Also it has bonus old Snake and Rebel Soldier. MOOO!

I got it on ebay. There are various listings. I got it for $48/30 pounds

Here's one for you. Was thinking about the rubber diving suit under snakes BDU and how I was going to go about it. I have some material that's the same look and feel as the rubberised knee thing but I really didn't want to get sewing just yet as this was a rough fitting for the camo so I thought about heat shrink tubing. I grabbed some stuff 3cm wide and got to it, not a bad shout if you can't get a proper diving suit. They can slide on and off with ease if need be, there is some slight restriction but I'd prefer something a bit more accurate in favour of that, then it's just a case of sticking on the eyelets (not sure about the seams though). It does hold some nice natural creases too.
Looks a tad shiny in the pics but it's quite matte in the flesh. Food for thought

So far so good! What did you use for the rubber sleeves?

Hmmm. Are you implying something here or I'm just over thinking it.

Nice technique with the heat shrink. Did you run a hairdryer over it for a snug fit?

I actually used a heat gun but very lightly - didn't want to fuse it to the arms too much. I had a layer of plastic wrap between the arm and the tubing to allow for a looser fit when removed. Definitely some scope for experimenting with different types of tube. Not sure if I'm gong to keep this but thought it was worth testing.

It's a good idea. How are you going to do the torso, around the neck line?

Ah yeah I was just going to use the chest piece from the Hot Toys Snake as that has the throat mic.

That's a cool bit of kit. I managed to snag a few of the Death Stranding press kits when Kojima was in London but it's no MGS. Sucks about your stuff still in Japan, I have a few things also and can feel your pain.

Yes exactly, did limtoys closed down or what? the weibo page is no longer available too
Konami just launched an online store called, "The Official Konami Shop". Seems similar to the old Konami Style store in the U.S. They've got a bunch of merch on sale (t-shirts and apparel mostly).
Have to say, I'm pretty surprised that they did this, since they basically squashed their video game development branches.

Still a cooling looking figure.
Have been wanting this for over a year now but can't find anyone selling it locally.
Visited the store about a week ago, not much stuff.
Mantis mug is the best item in stock now.

They actually just combined their Game dev teams, they haven?t fired anyone. In fact they?re hiring, hopefully good news for us.
The merch up is nice, subtle, I could actually wear this without looking corny like most nerd culture clothing

The mug is nice, but I could probably do without the quote
. Oh, I wasn't aware that they still had a video game division. I might pick up the MGS baseball cap, since it's a bit different from everything else.

Got a T-shirt wanted a cap but it?s not available yet [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] thanks! You are right it?s unique having mgs merch nowadays. But I feel like if I got an exclamation point cap no one would know where?s it from
