I don't know much about the video game and storyline but I do appreciate beautifully crafted military action figures and Naked Snake certainly belongs in this category. Naked Snake fighting in the jungles of the Soviet Union during the Cold War circa 1964 is fine with me, as long as he is adequately equipped and ready to kick commie behind.
Medicom released this limited edition figure (only 1,000 pcs were produced) in 2004 [ Sorry Brad :( it's out of circulation, I think ] and I love the figure right off the bat! Came in a very nice packaging.
Snake in his tray, all ready for action!
Love the Headsculpt

Hey Alex! Thanks for the great photos of Snake! Like I told you before, you have an amazing collection of figurines - if I'm ever in Singapore I'd love to swing by and take a look (I'd call first of course)! I appreciate all the time, effort, and cash you've put into this - and then for you allow the world to take a look is icing! Thanks again!

Hi Brad, thanks for all your compliments and the correspondence we've been having. You are always welcome to visit and it's really nice to know that you appreciate my blog. I was searching the net before for pictures and couldn't find any; that's why it dawned on me that I should put some of my pictures so that others can get a good reference.
Hi Alex,
Love MGS !! Any idea where in Singapore can I get MGS action figures ?
cheers,
deric
Hi Deric, you can try China Square Central. The latest MGS by Medicom is MGS4 where Snake is old and wears a rubber suit instead of BDUs. Thanks for looking :)
This is one sick action figure. I really need it :0 But now have to wait for the Cold War version.
Hi Mohamad, Cold War version is equally sick, man. Gotta love Snake!!
Now THAT'S the REAL Snake! I really like all the MGS figures except MGS4 'cause of the rubber suit. I just hope that Medicom can do better if they make some other MGS figures.
Btw, Alex. Can I link you on my blog?
And can I borrow your "Direct Action Close Quarters Combat" line? 'Cause I wanna make a post about my Naked Snake ~Cold War~ version with his D. A. C. Q. C. suit.
Hi Munir, I didn't get the MGS4 Snake becoz I saw the suit & like you said, it SUCKED big time!!!
Please feel free to link to my blog :) I've put you on my blog list as well - nice "modding" of the two snakes BTW
No worries about the D.A.C.Q.C. term - I found it on the net as well - there's no copyright issue on that ;p
Yeah, it IS sucked.
A few days ago when I was playing around with my Old Snake, some part of the rubber is torn a bit. I try to look up on Google if they have any problems about Old SNake in US and well, there's lots of them saying something about the suit that can bring the quality down. And his M4 SOPMOD, too. IonPrime's review of Old Snake (from YouTube) also saying that his SOPMOD's barrel is snapped right off when he tried to bend it back.
Plus, check this; pitu23 also complain about the figure of MGS4 saying the price should be U$125 instead of U$175 ($300+ in both Singapore and Brunei).
And you already link'd on my blog. ;)
Alex, do you have any MSN or Facebook? 'Cause if you do, maybe we can chat sometimes.
thanks munir for the information. makes me really glad that i didn't get it at all. CHEERS!
