So basically, I've been looking around, and I'm pretty new to these types of figures. I was just wondering what their average costs are and how much they may be limited to. (including online retail stocks).
- MGS3 Snake with Squares Camo (Zombie)
- MGS3 Snake with Tiger Strip Camo
- MGS3 Snake with Crocodile Head
- MGS4 Old Snake (normal octacamo)
- MGS4 Old Snake (olive drab octacamo)
- MGS4 Raiden
anymore?

- MGS3 Snake with Tiger Stripe Camo 500x
- MGS3 Snake with Crocodile Head
I kinda remember the first series of RAH figures were 500 - 1000 - 1500 or 500 - 1000 - 2000 as quantities, i'm just sure the tiger stripe camo 'naked' Snake version was the 500 pieces one @.@
- MGS4 Old Snake (normal octacamo) 1000?
- MGS4 Old Snake (olive drab octacamo) 500x
- MGS4 Raiden 500x?
The odd thing is... the olive drab version should be rarer, but actually there are many more of those up for selling than the regular blue octocamo Old Snake =x
Hmmm about prices, don't expect each of the first series piece to go for lesser than 200$+ >.< (especially the 'naked' one). As for these new ones, i'd say a range of 140-200$ for each of them...
/imho of course!

I'll give it shot
- MGS3 Snake with Squares Camo (Zombie) - ltd to 500 pcs, $275-350
- MGS3 Snake with Tiger Strip Camo - ltd to 1000 pcs, $275-350
- MGS3 Snake with Crocodile Head - unkown print run, $250-325
- MGS4 Old Snake (normal octacamo) - unknown print run, about $150
- MGS4 Old Snake (olive drab octacamo) - ltd to 500 pcs, $200 retail price
- MGS4 Raiden - unknown print run, about $175 as it's quite a hot item, should drop a bit (to $150) before starting to climb next year when all retailers become sold out
Although some have higher print runs, it seemingly doesn't effect value as much as you'd think. The Squares camo is much easier to find than the Tiger Stripe (the 1st RAH figure released) and closes cheaper even though it's twice as rare.
The MGS3 figures used to close under $200 all the time (except the Tiger Stripe). I got my croc head one for $120 about 8 months ago, but the prices have REALLY spiked. Next year I guarantee you'll start to see the MGS3 ones close over $400 consistently.

My values might've been on the low side, on ebay anyways.
6 MGS3 figures closed on ebay between $320US and $361US.
The only other one that closed was a steal at $190 buy-it-now.
Honestly, I never follow these on Yahoo Japan but with bid service fees it's probably closer to what I initially estimated.

I rarely see figures on YJapan though, they have a lot more "fun items" for sure.

I'm not really into collecting Metal Gear figures. Although I may start someday.

You better do it earlier, coz they are getting value as each year passes, especially the MGS3 Olive-Drab Naked Snake (w/o eyepatch) and the Zombie Snake...
I have been hunting the Olive-drab Naked Snake, but I'm just too overwhelmed with $300+ price plus $50 shipping... Coz they usually come from Asia...

Nice! I feel sorry for all those the paid $250+ for it heh. I knew it was good to be patient on that one. I'm waiting on Raiden as well, I have a feeling that'll drop too a bit. I'm trying to score it for $200 shipping included.

I am planning to score the Olive Drab soon... I'm so tempted at that price!
