Re: Show off your collection display
Exact same except suit color.
Let's just say if I had to pick one for looks - it'd be the blue one. For collector value, the Olive Drab since it's more limited.
Essentially it's the same figure though. Only someone with mental problems would waste money to get both.

Re: Show off your collection display
oh damn... so basically it isnt actually 12 inches with the other MGS figures? I'm guessing raiden is the height of Snake in MGS4

Re: Show off your collection display
It looks to be about 12-13", I don't have a tape measure handy but I'm sure that's how big it is.
The MGS4 figures are bigger than the MGS3 ones so they look odd if you pose them together.

Re: Show off your collection display
From what I gather, it's because of the new "skeleton" they designed for the MGS4 figures. The old one (they used for many other figures including the MGS3 ones) didn't work with the rubber Octacamo and Cyborg Ninja suits of Old Snake and Raiden so they had to design a new one. Why the didn't make them the same size I have no clue.

Re: Show off your collection display

Re: Show off your collection display
The Old Snake is really hard to pose. The rubber suit does not co-operate at all. I'm hoping the Raiden is better.
Alot of people have even broken joints trying to pose the Old Snake.

Re: Show off your collection display

This poster is just awesome. It's my new favorite. For now anyways as I'm quite excited to have gotten it.
Rinkya did an amazing packing job at my request. Check it out, they used a thick PVC pipe and put it in a triangular custom made box (1/4" thick) stuffed with newspaper. No way this could've gotten dinged up. This is why even though I use SMJ for low price items, I'll always use Rinkya for anything valuable or fragile. I did request extra care in shipping regardless of cost and they did an even better job than I had hoped.

Re: Show off your collection display
What's a clean photo?
Are you knocking the shittiness of my picture taking? I thought we already discussed how I can't use the flash properly heh. Or you mean the boxes in the way..I should get it framed by this weekend for sure.
Just for dissing my mad photo skillz I'm sniping you on that E3 soundtrack!!!!
j/k heh
Holy crap I've passed 500 posts. I think only on one other forum I've ever cracked 100. I'm having trouble reaching 50 on another so I can use their high traffic buy and sell area heh. I think my post #500 was in the Off Topic area where I was discussing how I'd like to thoroughly bone VP nominee Sarah Palin

Don't bother. Everyone else is an asshole on the other forums.
At least here it's just me that's the asshole.

Re: Show off your collection display
LOL I get asked that alot heh. I'm a professional gambler. With the NFL season going I'm going to have alot more income for the next 5 months. In the NFL off season I pay the bills betting on baseball.Commander wrote:violent what do you do for a living to have such a huge disposable income.

Actually I'm totally lying. I haven't been on the + side in sports gambling (for let's say an entire year) in a LONG time. I did win $110 betting the under on the Pitt/Cle game this Sunday though

It's not how much you make, it's what you do with your money. Even with markets crashing we've been almost uneffected. If anyone here ever has any need for any specific financial advice, I'm not an expert, but I'd totally try and help.
I can even give great financial advice with 2 words:
buy gold
