I wonder when people will finally start to realize that hot toys and sideshow collectibles are over priced garbage. if those lines were this quality and 1/12th scale for $100 I'd definitely get some.
@@JangoTheBlueFox I collect Hot toys (not Sideshow),love what they do,yes they surely could be cheaper!,i also collect Mezco (before i started with H.T),& have thought about this for an age now,1/6th scale quality on 1/12th scale is so achievable now,but you have to think about the fact that if this figure (unlicensed!) costs $100 dollars,then HT should cost about $200 or under,trust me on this i wish that was the case! Lastly,the quality of smaller 1/12th scale has in part been driven by Hot toys,but yes i would love to collect everything HT does in this scale,would be so much easier
@@JangoTheBlueFox I’d say for the most part hot Toys keeps their prices reasonable. People complain about some of the prices on their iron man figures way too much
@@JangoTheBlueFox lmao that makes literally no sense. The PS5 retailed at 499, the most expensive 1/6 hot toys is 470, and that’s the only 1/6 figure they made that reaches 450 not counting sets like the mark 4 with the gantry. Hot toys on average are around 200 to 300
Wish they'd go all out with MGS 1 to 4 characters. 6" stuff from those (with this quality) would be a dream. Konami doesn't really care about the license anyway.

You officially have the first review on RUclips Robo, congratulations! And god I keep rewatching this review and getting more and more excited for my figure.
Awesome. Great to see these 3rd party independent manufacturers changing up technology and giving collectors something different and yet offering great quality.
14:00 For someone who plays and loves the game the different size horns are a must and I love that they included them. I understand your frustration though. Ahah
I'm tempted to get this figure because I love the look of Venom Snake. Theres so many little details but it also feels overwhelming at the same time. The shrapnel sizes being able to change is a pretty awesome detail too but am very afraid of having it with my carpet
Pre ordered this back in april 2019. It’s still hard to believe that it’s been so long, but I’m glad we’re finally getting this figure in hands and that it came out the way it did. It’s going to look great in my MGS collection!!
For some reason I thought this was 1/6 scale. Looks great. They should really make a video game based around this guy! Seriously though, this looks awesome.
I’m always amazed these figures are 6 inches tall. The level of detail, the fabric clothing,... in my head it’s as big as a Hot Toy. And then the comparisons and, nope, Marvel Legends size.
I think there was a re-relased of this figure, cause i just got mine and the horn is already attached, there are no extra horns and i have a straight shooting hand, also, the pegs for the hands are different
This figure is coming through customs for delivery as I watch this. I jumped on the deluxe version of this figure and a few more soon as the pre-orders crossed my feed.
Hey robo you wanna have some fun with the intros using "Snake"? The chicken hat in the game is basically easy mode, it makes it so no one can see you even if you're standing literally right in front of them
I've pre ordered mine in june 2019 at onesixthkit, and im just waiting for it to arrive home. This is a pre order i don't regret getting, it was only 65 usd, plus free shipping.
What the 🤫 guy is saying is you don't want to use official names as this is third party and Lim has already received a C&D from Rockstar and they definitely don't need one from Konami
I'm really impressed by this figure from a third party. The negatives such as the hands and weak plastic used in weapons can be easily fixed with future releases. Definitely a company to keep watching. The likeness and cloth in this scale is great. TBH it blows my mind they decided to do THIS particular Snake instead of a fan favorite like Solid or Big Boss. I'd definitely buy one of those if they ever release them. Raiden would be insanely cool but I doubt it.
hey Robo, I checked on my one, I found that the 2 extra boots should be divided into left and right, so you might need to contact your dealer to claim for it.... BTW, it is a great figure, I love it.
KG Hobby sent mine to the wrong address, it ended up in New Jersey (I live in Utah). Luckily they are sending me a new one. But boy was it disappointing to see that "Out for Delivery" notification only to see it being in a state nowhere near you.
I ordered from them too, and I'm hoping it was sent to the right place. The usps said it was supposed to arrive Monday, but it's being called late. I'm really hoping it's fine and nothing wrong, just the USPS being slow.
@@simplyhoodie As long as your tracking shows its in the correct state I think you'll be good, Monday was the same day mine was to arrive as well. Luckily KG Hobby has really good customer service they got to me the next day and said they'd send another figure.
@@simplyhoodie Take the tracking number and look it up on USPS actual website it shows more accurate info compared to the weird "Aftership" site KGhobby goes through
I'm hearing that kind of material is way harder to work with, hence going with this baggier cloth look first. I think they are working on more MGS though so maybe?
Where’s the best place to get this? eBay has quite a few sellers for this from China. Usually that’s a red flag but I assume this Lim Toys is a Chinese company?
Finally sorry to spam so many comments: regarding the shrapnel. The more evil you play in-game, by killing people instead of simply putting them to sleep etc, the longer the shrapnel becomes. It's based on the idea that the character is becoming a demon. The design is based on an Oni, Japanese demon in folklore, and the belt bit hanging down the back is actually meant to call to mind a demon tail believe it or not. The chicken hat is something the player can wear if they keep failing their missions- it makes the game easier while wearing it!
Veno- er I mean Poisonous Reptile is my favourite. The interchangeable shrapnels are kinda important imo since it's shows how arbitrarily "good" or "evil" you want him to be. I'd probably use some kind of glue when I get him since I would only portray him as a good boi. Is the soldier decal the same size as the box?
Had this pre ordered for two years, along with the ballon scene display base. From time of posting, Still has not arrived.. Looks good, but it has waned at this point, i believe KGHobby ask for a 16/17 percent fee for cancellation.. Have you taken a look at the KD Toys 1/7 scale iron man mrk3 light up version sir.
Damn this Venom Sna- I mean, Poisonous Reptile figure looks cool
Yes...from the....iron....cog....liquid?...series...
@@SoraMotto LOL!
I really like how they made the smoke from the e-cigar look digital, just like in the game, with the scanlines.
Somewhere while watching this I forgot that this is 1/12 scale. Seeing it next to a black series stormtrooper at the end sort of blew my mind.

And god I keep rewatching this review and getting more and more excited for my figure.
A smaller channel posted a review two days ago. That said, I was still waiting for this one specifically.
Bionic Kasai fwoosh is amazing
Dude I haven't seen you in forever
Awesome. Great to see these 3rd party independent manufacturers changing up technology and giving collectors something different and yet offering great quality.
Everyone, let's dog pile robo for saying solid snake when this is clearly punished venom snake
No, this is clearly the non copyright infringing aehab
Lol I can see how it gets confusing!! You have to be Die Hard to understand!
You guys are right robo would never review something that breaks international copyright law
It's Aehab, the secret clone apart of the les enfants terribles project. also known as Punished bootleg Snake
Yes CLEARLY
14:00 For someone who plays and loves the game the different size horns are a must and I love that they included them. I understand your frustration though. Ahah
Oh no, I do get that completely. But it's just not for me, haha.
Wait, no gijoe classified comparison shots?..
All seriousness, awesome review as always Robo
It feels like this was on pre order forever 😂
Glad it finally came out
コズミックまこ kept you waiting huh?
“Pretty good”
“Kept ya waiting huh’?”
“Nanomachines, son.”
"!"
Super baby method?
Wow this is fantastic. The detail, quality and sheer amount of accessories. I would have expected it to be Hot Toys level pricing.
I hope they make a sneaking suit version. Love MGS5's version of it.
Watched your video before doing my review- excellent job! I am still working on my review but I do have my Unboxing out!
Thes something vaguely... Russellian about his face sculpt. Interesting.
Bruh I just got it this morning , an incredible figure
I'm tempted to get this figure because I love the look of Venom Snake. Theres so many little details but it also feels overwhelming at the same time. The shrapnel sizes being able to change is a pretty awesome detail too but am very afraid of having it with my carpet
Oh man, this video has been a long ass time coming! Thanks Robo, seeing this in my sub box got me through the rest of my work day
Pre ordered this back in april 2019. It’s still hard to believe that it’s been so long, but I’m glad we’re finally getting this figure in hands and that it came out the way it did.
It’s going to look great in my MGS collection!!
Thank you so much Robo, I've been waiting this review for a while now
Love u ❤️
Super review. This looks like a potential candidate for toy of the year. It scales well with other lines. Thanks for sharing your treasure.
For some reason I thought this was 1/6 scale. Looks great. They should really make a video game based around this guy! Seriously though, this looks awesome.
Limtoys does have a 1/6 ver of it
I love these reviews from non major toy companies!
Looks amazing.. Reminds me of the old GI Joe figures but smaller and better painted guns... Wish GI joe had such amazing attention to details... Wow
WELL, Mezco is now making GI Joe, so your Wish is Granted! lol
Damn it robo, you make me wanna hunt another figure outside my wishlist again!
I thought I missed all the preorder windows, but got mine from 5ktoys when they came in stock. Pretty cool little guy.
J Doe I’ve been active on IG and haven’t had time for video making unfortunately, but thanks, I appreciate it.
Goodness! Remember when we were happy with the old Star Wars figures?😂
Man, they put some love into this guy! Wish I would have pre-ordered...
They still sell em on Ebay for around $150. and he's WELL worth the little extra.
Ocelot, the boss, big boss and skull face, please LimToys.
I would settle for them scaling down the Quiet accessories as I already have a phicen body from when I had the 2B figure preordered
i would love an uh...reptile eater.
I would also like a, uh, Carbonized Canine.
too ambitious
Quiet or Snake in Sneaking Suite will be badass if theyll make one
He's very cool, also if I remember correctly, the canteen has a magnet in it to put the assault rifles on it.
Giant Toy has the A+++ version in stock. It’s a great company, ordered my Matrix Neo figure from them. Free shipping
@Derek K it took 2 months to ship, from China.
Where did you order it from?
@Derek K I live in the US and it took them a few weeks to deliver an in stock item
really funny how that intro could be a real thing that could happen in a video game in 2024
I got my younger brother the play arts kai version as a gift! He left it behind and joined the Marine core...
I got those too, back in the day!
@@TheFwoosh I still have it unopened...til he returns?
Got it and I love it. Now I gotta grab the Neo they came out with.
I’m considering getting this.. i’ve never even played the game, it’s just that the figure looks like a dope figure..
FANTASTIC! Kinda wish I'd preordered this way back. That Beef Boss intro though 🤣🤣🤣
I’m always amazed these figures are 6 inches tall. The level of detail, the fabric clothing,... in my head it’s as big as a Hot Toy. And then the comparisons and, nope, Marvel Legends size.

Love that packaging
That black mask would make a good custom Croc Master
They actually just announced a 1/12 Scale Arthur Morgan, or the Gunslinger. Makes me very excited!

Wow awesome grab, I love all Metal Gear Games “do u even Metal Gear bro”
Hmm, no Gi Joe comparisons....? I was hoping to see how he stacked up with the Joes. Nice review!
I love ur reviews! Its always entertaining to watch. You should review the ZD toys Ironman MK3!
That is a BEAUTIFUL figure
Robo's sneakily early for this review...👌🏻
I’m getting Kurt Russell escape from NY vibes from this figure
Snake's appearance is heavily inspired by Snake Pliskin as well as David Bowie
I noticed this too. haha
Considering Snake Plissken was part of the design of Snake, looks like things have come full circle.
I know this a review, but to me it felt like a.... play daaaaaaay! 👍
I wish we can get a second body, and a second head to use the accessories, and the extra cybernetic arm.
Love your videos
I stupidly missed out on the preorder for this figure. Super frustrated. Anyway, will you be reviewing pctoys neo?
Giantoy.com has the S++ available right now
If they made MGS2 figures id be so down for that
They've said in the past that their main focus is on MG figures so it's very likely
Cool new action figure 😎🤘
