Huge disappointment for me. Snake looks far too big and muscular here. Is this Chris Redfield? Jesus. They should have included a boulder with this statue. He looks like he's big enough to be Batman. The light grey parts of his sneaking suit are far too light. His elbow and knee pads look enormous, but I guess they have to be to wrap around Snakes 20 inch biceps. Also the face seems off to me, it seems like his jawline is way to square, or his chin is way too pronounced, most likely a side effect from the steroid abuse. And what's with the long hair? Am I missing something? If memory serves me right, MGS1 Snake's hair did not extend below his ears. With that being said, it is nicely detailed. But that's all I can say

Thanks for that feedback. As mentioned above....

Our Snake is based from the legacy collection. Plus we used direct 3d files from licensor.

Ah ok, I guess the legacy collection version of Solid Snake just doesn't do it for me. But that makes more sense, I didn't see that until after I posted. Thanks.

This looks absolutely awesome! I love how he turned out. That being said, I have to wonder who would buy the camo version. Half a grand for a translucent statue is so bizarre to me.

F4F doing gods own work! I've been so horrifically sick all day, i missed the live stream and everything so I've just sat and watched the Documentary.

i think it looks great, love the pose, love the EX parts. Not interested int he Stealth version but it looks great and i'm sure will do well and be super limited.

The only thing i would have liked is some extra detail on the base, the wall that he's leaning against i'd love to have a ripped down posted or something on the opposite side? Minor nitpick but i just think something on there to break up the overall "grey" look of the statue would be great.

Definitely in for an EX.

I don't see anyone just buying the stealth version. The Twin Snakes bundle for $100 discount is the best option for it.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

What does this mean exactly? The Legacy Collection is a compilation of Metal Gear games. So is this a mixture of the different iterations of the characters?

Pretty much means the character design is Konami's. Im guessing from their artwork and renders. I never got the chance to play mgs so pretty much missed the series. Statue looks pretty awesome though. Love the running for cover pose with the bandana flying. He seems a little long in the face to me but the more I look at it the more I dont mind. Cool that Alex is already making tweaks. Posted this in the club-
