The same shoulder-length, tousled, wavy hair; the same black eye patch covering the right eye; the same black bandana which keeps the hair in place; the same M1911A1 to bump off enemies; and the same ‘don’t mess with me’ expression on the face. Hardcore gamers and Metal Gear Solid fans would instantly recognize this bad-ass as Naked Snake from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (or as Big Boss from previous MGS versions).

We are talking about the new ‘Metal Gear Solid Normal Snake Vinyl Figure’ designed and marketed by Medicom, a Japanese toy manufacturer. If you are expecting an assembly line action figure that markets are usually flooded with, think again.

The Japanese are known for their eclectic pop culture and hair-raising obsessions. It is no surprise then that the Naked Snake vinyl figure reflects some of the eccentricities and fine graphic art from the land of the rising sun. Metal Gear Solid 3…is set in a Soviet Union Rain forest. Naked Snake must survive the jungle and his enemies using stealth and camouflage techniques.

The vinyl figure comes in a camouflage suit used by its video game cousin. And it is in this camouflage suit that you can see glimpses of the fine graphic art that is a part of Japanese tradition. It is an all black-and grey-suit, which has detailed lines that give the suit a rugged military look.

The suit is complemented by a black vest, which contains Snakes’ knife and radio; and a green-buckle, multipurpose pouch for ammo and the gun holster. The multipurpose pouch has shades of military green, black, and plastic white (for the buckle clips).

A brown knife sheath is tied down to the vest with black strings. Black earphones are plugged into the ears of the toy figure. These earphones are connected to the radio in the figure’s vest pocket.

We have talked about the fine graphic design of the ‘Metal Gear Solid Normal Snake Vinyl Figure’ and now it is time to talk about its ‘standout’ eccentricity.

The Naked Snake vinyl figure has huge, chunky, head hands and feet (compared to the rest of the body), that makes it adorable and deadly at the same time. Trust the Japanese to make even a mundane action figure interesting and eclectic.

If you are a fan of the MGS series and loved the digital jungle in its third installment, the Naked Snake Vinyl figure is a must have collectible. It is available at $79.99.

This must have surely caught your attention. You should also go through Kratos God of War Mighty Muggs Figure and Vinyl Figure of Kratos from God of War.

Solid Zombie Snake Vinyl Figure Rocks

This is a post from Ps3 Maven who bring you the best play station 3, Games, Mods and News.

While we all have loved Metal Gear for years, we really have not given much thought to the pioneering quality of the game which actually started the stealth game genre. As an ode to that pioneering quality, here is the Solid Zombie Snake Vinyl Figure that even comes with an eye patch. You could get this vinyl figure for yourself and call your friends and show them how much you love the game and also Solid Snake.

Snake has had several states of ego and one of them seems to be that of an eye-patched zombie. It is exactly this state of ego that we can see in this vinyl figure and comes from Metal Gear Solid 3. It comes with a really huge head with great details. This Japanese collectible vinyl figure is truly amazing and attractive thanks to the great crafting techniques that all those Japs use.The Solid Zombie Snake Vinyl Figure costs $80.

This could be the ticket to claiming the position of being the biggest fan of Metal Gear an even bigger fan of Snake. Your other video game playing friends will definitely feel the envious emotion. You must check out this cool Embroidery Snake Stitch if you really are a great fan of Metal Gear. You could also prove your fanboy status by buying the Solid Snake Minimate Figure.

Vinyl Figure of Kratos from God of War

Vinyl Figure of Kratos from God of War

This is a post from Ps3 Maven who bring you the best play station 3, Games, Mods and News.

Kratos from God of War is coming up all around since so many gamers are looking forward to the new PS3 game release, and this Kratos Vinyl Figure is just another great introduction to the surrounding hype.

This specific Kratos de Chucho Rojas seen at Avatar666 shows the angry God of war character with a slight change. Yes, he is still angry, brutal and looking for blood, but with the Manga features apparent in this vinyl figure, you cannot stop from saying ‘how cute’. No one would want to run into any Kratos look alike in a dark alley, but if I myself had a choice, this version would be my pick.

The details and color in this Kratos are wonderful. It may not be as mean, but it still has the intensity we could expect from the character.

Thanks for the images Avatar666.
