metal gear solid 4 old snake by medicom toys

brought this medicom toy's old snake from metal gear solid 4 from earthX 2day.

the box is pretty huge

some details

the gatefold


prints as well after u remove the bubble pack

the figure is held by a black plastic

not much accesorries

knife is a soft bendable item

slot the CBQ knife

pistol cant be completely slotted into the holster

i broke his shin. i heard a snap when i twist his left leg. so this is the complete old snake his suit is a tough rubber unlike the spidy 3 rubber. his hands are soft and they are just extended rubber. he has no phyiscal plastic hand beneath the rubber gloves. so u cant hold the rifle with one hand for posing.

shoes are harder materials.

not a recommended figure, think best kept in within the box.

Oh rats, he broke so easily? Medicom is getting lazier by the day with accessories. I like the original MGS3 Snake, but that's too crazy expensive now.

Hi Sket:

Please,you can answer me two questions?,I´m very interesting in own it one of them. ( I´m Spanish,and I don´t know speak a nice English,sorry).

1-The head in this Old Snake i´t´s a soft rubber material or it´s a hard plastic head? In the photos seems like a He-man´s ( Master Of The Universe )head,very soft and empty.I hope that be a resistant material.

2-The neck it´s more big in the head than the neck in the body,no?Seems a little ugly the connection in both parts,isn´t? The face it´s look really as Snake in the game? It´s a good job of Seemed?

Thanks for all.

the head - it's rubber and not hard plastic .... but it's not soft rubber either, meaning when u squeeze it it doesnt collapse. it's tough rubber, the suit is soft rubber.

the neck is hard body plastic, a round swivel ball to connect to the head sculpt. so the head sculpt is a small hole to stuff into the neck joint.

both mgs3 and mgs4, medicom did a good job in the rendition of both figures. mgs3 u get to see a more simple graphic figure while this mgs4 u get to see a more detalied figure, just like the game itself. amazing.
