seen@wonderfest 2007: metal gear solid
in the Medicom Toy-corner was a display of the new series of MGS Kubricks [blogged] - which i reckon would be a thorough fan-fav to come (IMHO) ... as well as the 1/6th-scaled / 12"-ers RAH MGS:4 Raiden [tagged] and RAH MGS:4 Solid Snake [tagged] - whoz been growing on me each time i see him (that came out sounding really wrong, dunnit? *heh*)
there has been online-talk that the body/arms of Raiden is actually a layer of textured-"skin" over a fully articulated-body underneath - tricky this, for i've yet to see him in a pose other than that which we have been seeing thus far ... would be cool tho, IMHO (but the belt is still ugly, sorry LOL) ... becoz frankly, if he were to be as stiff as a statue, then i'd rather he looked as gorgeous as these following folks:
1/6th-scaled "still" figures based on MGS: The Twin Snakes [wiki] series of characters:
*schweet* - no further info at this point in time, im afraid - but any news or
additional info (ie: makers, availability) would be appreciated, y'all = thanks! :)

I have no clue what those are based on but I like the look of them very much.
Also, there will be bearbricks of Bumblebee and Barricade as well:

Wish I had further details but I'm in the dark on release dates and prices. :P
Todd? YOU RAWK!
ReplyDeletecheers for the Trans-Brick headsup!
and frankly, with the forms and technology they've put into the Kubricks, Medicom could do a pretty decent Transformers-Kubricks, yeh? starting with Gen-1! LOL
thanks again Todd - really appreciate it :)
