Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by Medicom

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

Snake is wearing the tiger-striped camouflage outfit over his D.A.C.Q.C. (Direct Action Close Quarter Combat?) Suit.




He is armed with  a .45 Pistol with removeable suppressor


 He has his comms gear and CQC knife attached to his Stabo-rig 

Attached to his web belt are his two ammo pouches and water canteen in holder

Also has his butt pack and radio in pouch

His holster for pistol

Last but not least, his combat knife strapped to his lower leg

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 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!!
