Playarts will be releasing figures for Metal Gear Solid Peacemaker and Resident Evil 5 (http://www.toyark.com/news/video-game-toy-news-8/playart-kai-resident-evil-5-and-mgs-peace-walker-snake-2940/)

I had seen the Snake figure before but the Resident Evil figures are new. Resident Evil figures will be released in July for 4,725 Yen (about $53 USD) and the Snake figure will be released in September for 5,040 Yen (about $56 USD).

what the scale are they under in? nice details how is articulation wise?

[TheFallen]

I know the scale is 9 inches but I don't know how many points of articulation. I have seen some pictures in good poses so I think it is a fair few.

Would've liked some more figures based on RE4 instead of 5... but these are cool. RE4 is my favourite game of all time.

Can't wait for the MGS Big Boss Peace Walker figure. There also makeing the Metal Gear itself and theres about 3 different ones
Just wonder if it will come out here or have to get it off ebay.

[Dkaris]

I wish some company would release Silent Hill figures. I would be ecstatic.

Whats it like, can you post up some pics?

its about 9 or 10 inches tall and has pretty decent articulation. Nothing special, but you'll get some good poses out of it. While the figure itself looks kinda sleek its very heavy, but i think thats more because its made out of quality materials. You can swivel the legs withut the cable harness parts getting in the way, he doesnt come with the stun baton ( i read on a different forum that he would) but comes with two pistols, and a silencer and also the shield. One of the pistols fits in teh holster on the right hip while the silencer can be put on the other pistol. I havent really posed him withthe shield all that much just because personally im not a fan of it, but i'm sure if you wanted to spend the time you could get him in a nice pose holding it. I'll take some photos in a little while tonight.

articulation: head turns
arms move at shoulders, elbos and hands rotate 360
chest just under his pecks theres a joint, then another just at his waist, hips turn as well
legs have articulation at grion, knees and ankles, toes swivel to give better poses.

And he is painted in metallic paint other than that hes the same figure

They're some really detailed figures there Rampagesss, the character of Solid Snake I think is awesome and I love watching others play the games, cause I suck horribly at them, because I find the Metal Gear story far more interesting and engaging of an espionage/spy tale than 007 James Bond could ever hope to be.
Awesome, awesome figures though. :D

Have you seen this guys channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/cubex55#g/u)on youtube, all his videos are long play's of a group of people completeing games. he has MGS, MGS 2, MGS 3 and MGS 4 i watched the MGS 4 one over a few days because i don't have a PS3 but wanted to find out what happened
Also has lots of other cool games from the 80's and 90's

It seems the Metal Gear Solid figures are still being made and, according to Toyark: New Play Arts Kai Metal Gear Solid figures (http://www.toyark.com/news/video-game-toy-news-8/new-metal-gear-solid-play-arts-kai-4745/) there is going to be a Gray Fox/Cyber Ninja, Solid Snake and Psycho Mantis.

I know some people have bought the earlier releases so I want to know if these are worth getting? (I am a sucker for the designs from Metal Gear Solid)

[rampagesss]

Yes they are defiantly worth getting great pose-ability and very well detailed

I still need to get Miller and Battle Suit snake

[kurdt_the_goat]

Have you got any of the machinery ones from Peace Walker like the Chrysalis?
Last time i looked there wasn't much feedback on those.

I have been tempted a few times by the Snake figures, but they look a bit big.
Normally that's not a problem for me but shelf space is at a premium! I think the Gray Fox will be hard to resist though!

Na don't have any of the metal Gears from Peace Walker as i just don't have to room. Should be getting 2 more 1/6 Snakes next week but have no where to put them :o

After purchasing my first Play Arts figure (Sneaking Suit Snake), I can vouch (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=265993#post265993) for how awesome they are.

They've got great detail and excellent articulation for good action poses.

I only plan on getting the Gray Fox one (since I love ninjas) whenever it gets released (and maybe if they decided to do an Old Snake from Guns of the Patriot).

[TheFallen]

Does anyone know where I can get Cyborg Ninja/Gray Fox? I forgot it was coming and I completely missed out on him.

I know there is a red repaint fro SDCC but I want the original colour. I would love the red repaint if I could get it.

Ozgameshop has em (http://www.ozgameshop.com/gaming-merchandise-figurines/metal-gear-solid-play-arts-kai-cyborg-ninja-action-figure). With free shipping price isn't that bad either!

Awesome, thank you. Bought!

A great price too considering the prices on eBay.

[TheFallen]

I got my Cyborg Ninja and you can read my review on it; Misspent Adulthood: Play Arts Kai - Cyborg Ninja (http://www.misspentadulthood.com/2012/07/play-arts-kai-cyborg-ninja.html)

All up, it is not a bad figure but it does have some glaring issues.

Does anyone know where I can get a Play Arts Kai Solid Snake at non eBay prices?
