Max Factory Metal Gear Solid 2: Solid Snake Figma Figure

This is just an awesome figma! I was insure about taking it out of the box at first but I wanted to enjoy it as much as possible so did in the end and I'm so glad I did! I was worried about changing it's positions in case it broke but they really are well made. Well worth the money. The box is excellent, the figma is excellent, it even comes with a resealable figma bag to put the parts in once opened so you don't lose them. I've got him on my book shelf and he looks the best! Well worth the money and didn't have to wait too long considering where it came from.

This figure of snake is great and really shows personality and character of snake and the MGS series through its great accessories and articulation. I love having this figure on my shelf and posing him in different positions. The detail it outstanding. The figure comes with two disposable facial expressions one of which has eyes that can be altered to look in different directions via a tool included with the item. This feature is really unique and further shows off the level of detail that has been put into this figure. A must have for any collector and MGS fan.

I had to wait a while for the figure to be delivered which is understandable as it came form Japan, BUT it was so worth the wait. This is an amazing Solid Snake figure. The box it comes in is great, very protective, and the extra items that it comes with are all very neat. The Snake figure itself is just perfect, a real good replica of the Sons of Liberty version of Solid Snake. I can't recommend this product enough!!

Very well packaged, very quick postage and good price.Product is of a high detail also.Must for any collector

Just realised it’s a fake-charged me £54,disgrace

Excellent. Really quick delivery arrived within five days. Great fun for any MGS fan.

This is great figure my son will love this thank you

So many bootleg companies advertising the high quality version to customers but you only receive the knockoff version. This keeps happening on amazon and ebay and its a crime!

Dem Produkt gebe ich max. 1 Stern, da sich nicht im entferntesten so aussieht wie auf den Bildern und ich war auch sehr erschrocken als ich sie das erste mal vor Augen hatte.Dem Service allerdings gebe ich volle 5 Sterne da ich direkt vom Verkäufer angerufen wurde und wir das Problem zu meiner vollsten Zufriedenheit geregelt haben, zudem bot er mir direkt seine Dienste an falls ich mal nach einer Speziellen Figur auf der Suche bin.Fazit: Die Figur ist Schrott, derr Service jedoch ist empfehlenswert.

Goodsmile and Max Factory have brought us another figure in their Figma line. This time that figure is Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series, this look specifically coming from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty but also well known for being his main look in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. So does Solid Snake deserve a spot in your collection? Let's begin withThe Sculpt:Solid Snake here is sculpted pretty well I'd say. Everything you'd expect to be there is there. I can't complain about the body sculpt. No rather the main subject of controversy with this figure is what's above the body sculpt, which is the face. Depending on who you ask the face sculpt is either really good or awful. I like to think it's really good. While it's certainly not as good as the prototype it still looks like Solid Snake, especially after you rearrange the eyes. But yes, it sadly isn't as good as the prototype which can't be helped. The prototypes are usually better than the real figure. Even with this in mind, it's still recognizably Solid Snake. Now if you said the sculpt on the alternate face was awful, I'd be inclined to agree. Also worth noting is his height. Snake fits into a 6 inch scale. He works well with the Revoltech Raiden I own and the Vulcanlog Venom Snake, both two figures I also recommend. He's a bit too small for western figures such as Marvel Legends but I'm sure you could make it work with the right posing.The Paint:Snake's paint is where a bit weaker than the main sculpt I feel. The black wash across his body looks less like shading more like his suit is a little dirty. It works as that but I don't think it's what they were going for. The paint is also slightly misaligned on the smallest details like some silver parts on his elbows yet like I said that's a really small detail. The face paint is another subject of controversy and under a macro lens yes the paint is a bit off. The stubble just lacks the subtlety of the prototype's stubble. I think it looks fine in-person, though. Finally his suit is a bit of a lighter shade of blue than I was expecting. This is hardly a bad thing since I like the lighter shade of blue for it but others might not.The Articulation:If there's one area this guy won't disappoint anybody it's articulation. He has just about all the standard movement points such as his head, elbows, knees, and ankles along with pull-down hips which allow for more range, an articulated neck, ball jointed wrists which have a lot of range and perhaps my favorite bit is the shoulder articulation. His shoulders are built in a way that allow to you easily get him into two handed poses with either of the guns he comes with. It looks very natural too which is nice. His joints also move smoothly too, yet being used to Revoltechs at this point I almost do miss the cathartic clicking of the ratchet joints they have. Additionally his hair has a hinge in it so he can look up and his bandanna has a ball joint that allows for it to be moved. My only complaint is that his hips and lower torso joint feel loose due to the way they're built. Some Pledge should fix this but it's worth keeping in mind.The Accessories:Solid Snake needs plenty of gear to keep himself from getting spotted and this figure does come with quite a bit. For the price, I was hoping for a bit more however. First of all he comes with 6 pairs of hands and one other. He comes with a pair of fists, a pair of cigarette holding/relaxed hands, a pair of open hands, a pair of gripping hands, a trigger finger hand, a hand for two handed poses with his assault rifle, a pointing hand/trigger discipline hand, and finally a pair of hands that go with a clear acrylic base. Those hands and base are for putting him in evade mode, which means he can hang off your shelf. Be careful with this, though. Do not hang him from too high of a height or at least have a pillow beneath him so he doesn't break if he falls. Of course what would Solid Snake be without guns? He comes with two of them. He comes with a tranquilizer pistol and an assault rifle. Worth noting is that if you got the exclusive edition off of Good Smile's website you also would've gotten his trademark SOCOM. But I didn't do that so I don't have that, which kinda sucks. His pistol also can't be placed in his hip holster but at least they had the sense to not sculpt a gun in there. The assault rifle comes with an effects part that pegs onto it just fine. He also comes with four cigarettes, which you'll need trust me. They are absolutely tiny and it would not surprise me if they all end up lost soon. His faceplate can be removed to give him an angrier teeth clenched one but I think it doesn't look that good. The paint on the teeth is a bit splotchy and the eyes are sculpted misaligned which just doesn't look right. I doubt you'll be using that one ever. Speaking of faces his eyes can be moved around with an eye moving tool. I would be careful with the tool however since it's showing stress marks from simply moving the eyes. At least use it once to straighten his eyes out since he looks so much better that way. A paper craft box is included too which you simply glue together. Snake can't exactly fit all the way in without really squeezing him in but he still looks hilarious in it. Good on them for including such an iconic accessory. Finally he has a standard Figma display stand.Overall:People have mixed feelings on this figure, they either love it or hate it. Despite my problems with the figure I love it nonetheless. I'm a bit biased since Solid Snake is my favorite Snake from the series so I'm glad to have him in figure form. My only real complaints are his loose hips and for the price I wish we got a bit more in the accessorry department. For $70, which is what I paid when including shipping, I feel something more substantial was needed but I'm not sure what. If you're waiting for a better figure, I wouldn't. With the current state of Konami I doubt we'll get another Solid Snake figure in a long time. I would've preferred an MGS1 version personally but I'm glad we got what we got. Whether you want to add him to your Metal Gear or Super Smash Brothers collection I think Snake will fit in just fine.

Awesome collectible, has great movement so you can place it on any position you like, except kneeling down.The quality of the materials and detail is impressive. Very recommended.

El acabado de la figura es excepcional, con todo lujo de detalles, para mi gusto es de las mejores figuras que he visto de Snake. Muy articulada, permite infinidad de poses. Recomendada a todos los fans de Metal Gear Solid.
