He looks swole in peace Walker lol
I think the uniform covers up the physique in the same way that Meryl's size in MGS4 isn't apparent until you see her out of her combat gear.

Me, I did Naked Snake figure. I can say it's closer to the game design than Hot Toys did.
Could you share some photos?

You're pretty good. I need to remember to hire you for a commission when my financial situation gets better. That's damn good work.

Thank you. A lot of people keep asking me for that head sculpt. It's long sold out, only a few get made because lack of interest. People want it but only a few pay for it lol. But after it's sold out, there's always people asking, I'll humour them by making a new version and with bandana too. But I'm not really sure it will sell. I don't get why. Is it because it's a video game character? Or do I have to charge a super high end price for it??You're pretty good. I need to remember to hire you for a commission when my financial situation gets better. That's damn good work.
LOL joking aside, thank you guys for your appreciation on my work. I don't get that a lot, so your appreciation means a lot to me. And believe me you will see another better Naked Snake head sculpt from me
Poptoys wetsuit arrived today, I ended up cutting the bottom half of it off and removing the zipper then putting it on back the front and setting it in place with abit of craft glue were the zip was, it turned out alright, also found some jungle boots
The wetsuit makes the figure look "thicker" and less thin. Maybe a muscular True Type isn't necessary for what I have in mind for my own kitbash. Hmm... need to think about this one.
I'd personally go with a skinny body if you're using that specific wetsuit as it's quite thick and I had abit of trouble getting the sleeves over the wetsuit, but you're definitely right, the wetsuit filles the figure out quite nicely

The wetsuit looks good! It’d be perfect if it was a little more shiny.
definitely collar up
definitely collar up
I own a body suit that's not a wetsuit, but since I have no intention of dunking the figure in the water, it can serve the purpose of looking like a wetsuit without actually being a wetsuit. It's quite stretchy and thin, so it should accomodate a muscular body. But if I went with an actual wetsuit, I already own a slim body for that as well. Decisions, decisions...
Ideally, cost permitting, I'd do an actual wetsuit with a muscular body. The problem lies in finding an actual wetsuit that can accomodate a muscular body while still allowing the fatigues to be worn over it, as you've pointed out.
Hmm decisions decisions, could always try both ? Probably be a pain in the ass though
Phenomenal work! I was so disappointed with the HT figure due to the choice of suit, but this shows how much better their sculpt could have been, as well.

Thank you
yeah HT chose the wrong reference for their figure. I guess it's due to the MGS3DS that is out around that time. The sculpt and suit are based on that promo pic of the game. Snake looks more like the design in MGS Peace Walker. It's not the Naked Snake I've seen in MGS3. That's why I create my own, based on the in game look.
