Damn, that figure is hard to find. Ive looked on ebay, and the price just zooms up a few hours after its posted. articulations alright

Im thinking of just preordering the 7" medicom figure.

Since finding MGS1 Snake at a decent price will take a large chunk of my time searching, what would you do? Has anyone had him to give me suggestions?
Thanks

It's kinda crap that the 'MGS3' Snake isn't even the proper version.I want the jungle camo version,not the Metal Gear Acid one.I also have full sets of MGS1 and 2,and I have that Snake twice.Ah the glory days of TMP...Besides,aren't Medicom making newer version of MGS1 Snake?If so,nab that one.Here's hoping they make Young Ocelot,Decoy Octopus and of course...Vamp.

I have it (old msg1) and it's not the big a deal....

It doesnt stand up straight and it kinda sucks to me...
The raiden is good, though.
I like the raiden one better.

I found my MGS2 snake in a loose bin at my comic shop. i nearly pissed myself. i then found sniper wolf and ninja a year later in another comic shop loose, too. i'm a little upset i couldn't find the masked ninja head in the bin, though.

I've got it and it's not worth getting. I'd just get one of the new ones coming out. The articulation isn't good on the old one and the face sucks (it sucked in the game too, so that's not a knock on the figure).

I really want the MSG2 and MGS3 Snakes.

MGS 1 Snake is probably one of McFarlanes best figs if all the accessories are included. Ive noticed The MGS2 snake goes for more though

Yep. The articulation on MGS2 Snake is amazing.

not really, the MSG2 snake has this pre-posed torso that sucks in any other position than the one he's supposed to be on(holding gun with both hands)...

Man, I couldn't give these things away last year, I'll have to re-dig them out again, see who I didn't, lol

McFarlane's MGS2 Snake looks like some random dude with a beard. MGS1 Snake looks better and better accessories to boot.

They are both off the hook. It's best to get them both so there isn't really a problem anymore. . . . . yo.
