These figures are so incredibly hot, I must have both Raiden and Snake...but god damn, they're $179 each!

Raiden's face mask even opens. :O~~~~

Who is going to preorder and get these when they release in 2008 (probably right around the time MGS4 hits stores in Japan)?

Old Snake looks half retarded

AltogetherAndrews · (10-26-2007, 04:40 AM)

Those look... weird.

Narag · (10-26-2007, 04:41 AM)

Those are hot. Did they do stuff like this for previous MGS games?

JDSN · (10-26-2007, 04:41 AM)

Snake looks like he is missing a tooth.

SpudBud · (10-26-2007, 04:41 AM)

That price is insane.

AKingNamedPaul · (10-26-2007, 04:42 AM)

Sucks for ppl with a dedicated mgs collection. These don't look like they are worth the money.

rakka · (10-26-2007, 04:42 AM)

doesn't look like snake, wtf :(

thebagofsand · (10-26-2007, 04:42 AM)

Raiden look like a zombie, and Snake looks like he forgot his dentures.

fistfulofmetal · (10-26-2007, 04:42 AM)

Why have all Snake action figures sucked unbelievable amounts of cock? :\

thetrin · (10-26-2007, 04:43 AM)

I dunno, the Raiden figure looks damn awesome. I love the detail on the chest plates and the visor.

Not at all. Bungie almost managed to sell me their $99 not so detailed MC at H3's launch. I passed on it, but I'll buy it soon. Snake looks retarded, but Raiden looks cool. I wouldn't buy them because I do not like MGS, but I bet the fans of the series would be happy to get them.

Isn't that the usual price for figures like this? The otaku spend way more than that on some figures...

I saw the $100 master chief in yodobashi a few weekends ago. It's not badly detailed. I might pick one up later, but I have no idea where I'd put it.

Diablos · (10-26-2007, 04:47 AM)

They look awesome, but fuck paying $180.

Well...I did buy a cat helmet for $130. I'm a big fan of MGS,I couldn't justifiy spending that mush on something like that. Then again, I don't collect this kind of stuff.
They both look great though.

BobFromPikeCreek · (10-26-2007, 04:49 AM)

God I hate the way snake holds that gun all the time.

Amir0x · (10-26-2007, 04:49 AM)

Snake looks awful, Raiden looks fantastic.

Neither look "$179DOLLARSUUU!!"

I'd buy Raiden at $99 though. Factoring in that they're both a foot large, it's a right price.

USD · (10-26-2007, 04:49 AM)

Snake looks weird, but Raiden looks pretty bad ass.

chimster · (10-26-2007, 04:51 AM)

wow, would buy if its was 125. But 175 seems too high.

rollingstart · (10-26-2007, 04:53 AM)

I would actually buy the Raiden one over Snake.

Firestorm · (10-26-2007, 04:54 AM)

Raiden's face just screams "I'm emo"

BobTheFork · (10-26-2007, 04:55 AM)

oh course the figures cost that much...
<.<
>.>

They aren't going to make the development costs back on software sales!
*runs*

ooooooh VVVVVVV better obvious joke than mine

The nylon stitching is too thick for the price. It makes it look cheap.

dionysus · (10-26-2007, 04:59 AM)

Raiden looks pretty cool. Good thing my gaming addiction hasn't encompassed the world of gaming figurines just quite yet.

raiden looks EMO to me. i thought he was going to be different from the raiden in mgs2?

TheJollyCorner · (10-26-2007, 05:04 AM)

so has "emo" replaced "dark" in the English language now?

probably the most overused word I've seen/heard in a long time.

miyuru · (10-26-2007, 05:11 AM)

Dark and emo are not at all the same.

Quit being so emo ... all you do is whine, whine, whine.

Zozz · (10-26-2007, 05:14 AM)

Snake looks like shit.

Spire · (10-26-2007, 05:14 AM)

Raiden looks like he hides away in his goth sanctuary all day writing Godzilla poetry and posting it on deviantart.

ParticleReality · (10-26-2007, 05:15 AM)

You gotta fund Next Gen somehow guys and I don't think MGS: Wii is coming anytime soon.

I kid, I kid.

could have fooled me, considering the way people throw the word emo around. Like I said, if a character looks to be darker, all the sudden he's "emo" now.

now that's more like it. Yet, I don't see a character like MGS4 Raiden "whining" or being poetically melancholy... so yeah... how's he "emo" again?

mcgarrett · (10-26-2007, 05:30 AM)

These are basically insanely detailed, fully-poseable 12" G.I. Joes in full costume, hence the price. Medicom makes a lot of them from various genres: anime characters like Spike Speigel, live-action Japanese heroes like Kamen Rider, and western characters like James Bond, Spiderman and Boba Fett.

Kodiak · (10-26-2007, 05:41 AM)

WALLET? WALLET?

WALLLLLLLLLLEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rhazer Fusion · (10-26-2007, 05:48 AM)

They look nice, but for $179, I want these figures to clean my house and cook breakfast for me.

Snake looks like an old DJ Qualls.

MomoPufflet · (10-26-2007, 05:53 AM)

The Raiden is maybe 30 dollars cool. The Snake you'd have to pay me to take.

I agree.

Raiden looks awesome - ESPECIALLY his eyes.

Jea Song · (10-26-2007, 05:59 AM)

Raiden looks good, snake looks kinda weird...
