				Actually i like the poses. Raidens hair is a bit off. But since you paint them yourself i could defintly buy a pair if i found them cheap i thailand.
You can't say its a bad model for being sculpt unofficiall :O

				I've been itching to buy the resins of Solid Snake, Meryl, Sniper and Cyborg. But what I don;t understand about those Thai sellers, is that they will charge $25+ for the resin and $20+ for shipping and when you combine items, you'll only get $3 off on the second and third item from shipping. That really throws me off from buying as a lot and really makes it crazy to buy them individually... Geez!

The Old Snake looks like he owns a tanning bed.

				What an awful poster.
 
What's with that pairing anyways?
If it was just the Raiden on it's own it'd be ok. Not good....but a solid O K

				100% ripoff. The only time Konami has ever responded to my emails was when I asked them if this was real. They of course said no.

Whoa, 500$ are indeed too much but this reminds me i had to write about Italian customs & international shipping *slaps forehead* I'm in a rush so for now I'll just say there's so few MGS stuff cause not many Italian buyers are willing/experienced to buy worldwide and whenever a package worthing more than 45 euros (including shipping fees) arrives from a foreign country customs make paying even 22% of its worthing  

 (and no, marking a PS3 as gift and of a declared value of 30$ will just force the customs inspectors to open your package, check for a payment receipt and make you paying a sanction also - and those guys arent even very soft when checking packages <.<). 
And wow, yesterday a guy was telling me shops in Italy sell the Hagane PS3 package for 900 euros (!!), and I couldnt believe myself that other Italian Ebayer with crazy prices sold some McFarlane MGS figures for 50-70 euros EACH! But yea Italian MGS market is quite much enclosed to itself and there are just few persons buying/importing from other countries, and for this reason the few ones owning rare stuff can make the prices they want - or almost (economy's law  

 )

Hahaha that sounds really familiar to me 

 But the difference here is that the customs guy lets you open the package yourself. I have written about my experiences in another thread about this

				This guy is either smart or a scoundrel!
He/She seperated the package into three seperate auctions.
MGS Twin Snakes Edition Game Cube System
http://cgi.ebay.com/game-cube-premium-p ... 911.c0.m14
Twins Snakes game
http://cgi.ebay.com/Metal-gear-Game-Cub ... 911.c0.m14
Metal Gear games
http://cgi.ebay.com/Metal-gear-Game-cub ... 911.c0.m14
You'd have to win all three (at a higher premium, I would think) just to get the package complete.
