Yamato figure questions. Packaging and figure color.
Did these MGS2 Series 2 Substance figures ever come in the same bilster packaging as the below MGS2 Series 1 Sons of Liberty?
Yes, I will take better photos one day.
Next - why do these figures also come in silver/bronze/black/whatever. Are these rare variants that come in blind boxes?

Re: Yamato figure questions. Packaging and figure color.
Just watch out, because those blind boxes house a lot of fakes. I have a whole set myself that are fake, but I have the real ones sealed in the blister packs as well.

Re: Yamato figure questions. Packaging and figure color.
oh yeah, here's a silver
How can you tell they're fake? General quality? My Pliskin I believe came blister card and that's from Substance. I bought it in person in a store in Hong Kong. It was the only figure on card though and I don't believe I've seen the others (from Substance).

I've noticed beside quality, the fakes "camo" is a lot different. And snakes sneaking suit will almost be a blue/green. Those are how to spot the fakes.

Re: Yamato figure questions. Packaging and figure color.
I kinda noticed that too in pictures. The green in the camo looks like it has too much yellow in it.Screaming Mantis wrote:I've noticed beside quality, the fakes "camo" is a lot different. And snakes sneaking suit will almost be a blue/green. Those are how to spot the fakes.
Do you have a fake Pliskin? if so you should post a good pic of it and I can post a pic of mine and we can all compare.

Re: Yamato figure questions. Packaging and figure color.
Hard to find solid info on it. If I had the money I'd buy what I thought was a bootleg set (from mainland China) and real set (from yahoo japan) and compare em. It would make for an awesome feature.Screaming Mantis wrote:Nahh, sorry man. I don't. Have you tried looking it up online?

Re: Yamato figure questions. Packaging and figure color.
I too would like to SoL and Substance sets on card. I just don't trust the boxes. If anyone knows if the substance figures appeared on card I'd be grateful if you could let us know. Cheers.

Re: Yamato figure questions. Packaging and figure color.
I'm really not sure about the second set on cards. But. I know something about the unpainted and silver variants for the first set of figures. The unpainted is a variant included in retailers' boxes, each of them got 15 blind boxed-figures, and since the full first set is of 7+1 secret (masked Raiden), the full box gives 7+1 figures of a set and 7 of the other one, example 7+1 colored and 7 unpainted or vice-versa (so basically it's necessary to look for one more figure to get the full 7+1 sets).
About the silver variant figures, i don't remember very well but i got mine from solidsnake1mgs (his Ebay ID - I'm sure some of you remember about him, he was some British old-time MGS collector which sold away his collection time ago, as side note if i don't remember wrong his old site is still accessible on the free domain host - he had many infos about MGS cards and a famous MGS fan-artwork in main page), I just know it's some limited and early edition but I can't recall more... though probably solidsnake1mgs on Ebay might remember some more details about them
Ah and so far (since 3-4 years or so) I've seen the bronze figures only by one or two sellers on Ebay - never running out of them

Re: Yamato figure questions. Packaging and figure color.
As far as I know, the bronze are fakes; but I could be wrong.
The silver were released at the same time than the original ones, in boxes. The blisters for the first set came later, a few years later i believe but they are legit as well. I believe I have a sealed set of silver ones, but I might need to check. I do have a full set of the original colored ones bought around release date.
I don't know if there was a blister for the second set though, I always bought only the "first run".
