I have no real experience with the game series, but it basically looks like a dude that got a really bad boob job.

I have a question for you Hot Toys collectors, how poseable are these figures? Most of the pictures I see of them are standing straight up. Like an example would be, can they squat down? And how durable is a suit like the one on that Snake figure?

Yeah, wasn't expecting the Boss to look like that.

Here is a clip that may explain the scar:

I only have one, Superman, so I'm probably not the best answering this, but he's articulated, but it's not like DCUC or MU level articulation, you know? It's actually quite limited due to the clothes, etc. If you're expecting GI Joe type stuff, you will be disappointed. CTO will be able to answer you better.

I haven't decided if I will buy more HT, so I am interested to know how some of the Iron Man or Batman figures feel/fare. Basically ones that don't have fabric for their outfits. Don't get me wrong, I love my Reeves Superman, but it feels more like a doll to me than an action figure.

Thanks. Yeah, I think I only played one MGS game, and that was for the PS I think. I really do think she looks horrendous though. I find when HT fails at something, they fail really hard.

Thanks pud!

Funny thing is I have Superman too, but I don't have room to display him so I just marvel at it inside the box

I agree with you on the cloth/doll thought as well. I am more interested in Iron Man from Hot Toys because I feel it is more worth the price. But I am a huge MGS fan, so I am considering this one as well. Although I feel the Play Arts Snake feel more like an action figure since I can pose him without worry of his clothes tearing and such

I mean, the Hot Toys figures are beautiful, but I just don't want to lose the action in my action figures.

For the most part, the bodies underneath the costumes are very articulated




All very similar, just different details on them. The main thing that hinders articulation is the clothing that surrounds the body.

For instance, the Batman Begins/Bruce Wayne set that was released last summer has great articulation for a rubber suit body



However, I would recommend against prolong poses, because there are chances where the suit will rip, and the same goes for the bodies that have a rubber covering (ie. Hellboy, Leonidas, etc)

So the bodies are poseable, but the costumes hinder the poses, like the TFA Captain America. His upper armor really hinder any upper shoulder movement.

As for the Iron Man figures, I can say that for the most part, they are pretty solid. IMO the original MK III release is the most solid figure for any IM figure. I say this because as the suit details have become more intricate (more removeable pieces) there is an increase chance for something breaking.

I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions

Thanks CTO!

Can the HT Iron man figures do the signature fist pound on ground pose?
