Can't wait for the remake. I love MGS3 too and it's definitely in my top 5 games. It was way ahead of its time with a lot of elements even how Snake can get sick, food poisoning, infections etc. For military clothing I've always gone through Blackops toys which are a US supplier. I've done a kitbash with the Tiger strip pattern. Been wanting to do a 1/6 scale Major Ocelot for a while, just trying to source the clothes is a pain. I like the use of Bane's boots, definitely suits the figure. I like to pose mine with the knife in the CQC stance.

Absolutely epic Snake! MGS is definitely my favorite game series of all time. I share your concern about Kojima's absence in the announcement, but fingers-crossed Konami doesn't stray too far from the OG source material.

Its sad that theres no option for this version, only Limtoys and its Venom Snake and the price today its just crazy

Beautiful piece my favourite videogame series of all time

cool!!!!!!

This was awesome, Dean I still believe that Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, is the best of the franchise. I hope that there will be new Metal Gear Solid figures released some day.

Absolutely awesome vídeo! Congrats!

MGS3 is my favorite game of all time - I also kitbashed my Hot Toys Big Boss with the jungle fatigues. Shame HT didn’t release it like that.

Dude… just wanna say your collection is insane… huge MGS fan, also your collection is inspiring me to start a collection of my own🤘🏻

I'm cautiously excited for the new game! I'm surprised it's been 2 years since you featured this figure. This figure is one of my favorites in your collection!

Glad to see you making an update video on this piece, seeing this figure again has only further pushed my resolve to replicate it, I myself will be going into the army come August of this year and I've wanted to join ever since I was young having snake as sort of the badass idol amongst some other iconic military figures in gaming and movies. (I'm the person who emailed you about the figure not too long ago btw)

Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater was and still is a legendary video game. It was definitely ahead of its time for sure. The fact that Solid Snake can get sick, food poisoning and infections were things that you never saw in a video game at the time. They were annoying gameplay mechanics, but they were realistic. Unfortunately, stealth games have become a bit of a niche genre. Other than Metal Gear Solid, you had Splinter Cell, Deus Ex, Hitman, Thief, Dishonored, etc. A Plague Tale Innocence and A Plague Tale Requiem are also action-adventure stealth games that I highly recommend. Aside from those two games and perhaps some smaller titles, stealth games are few and far between. I definitely look forward to playing the Metal Gear Solid remake. A remake for Splinter Cell was also announced, which I look forward to playing as well. I've been a huge fan of stealth games going all the way back to the original Metal Gear, Thief, Splinter Cell, Hitman, etc. There is something very satisfying and rewarding about going into an area and eliminating every single enemy in sight without being detected. By the way, my favorite stealth video game of all-time is the original Dishonored, which is amazing, even today. Give it a shot if you have the chance to do so. Having said that, this is easily the best Solid Snake 1/6th scale figure that I've ever seen. It looks like he was pulled straight from Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater. The head sculpt is perfect from every angle. The hair has been sculpted and painted really well. The same is true for the facial hair. The bandana looks like its blowing in the wind, which I really like. Then you have the iconic camouflage suit, which fits Solid Snake perfectly. It has some nice stitch work and tailoring. I like the boots as well. The figure has some nice accessories. Of course, I love the box art as well. Though, as much as I love Marvel, DC, and Star Wars, I'd love to see Hot Toys make figures of video game characters. Sure, they've made Spider-Man figures from the Spider-Man game and ones from Batman Arkham Knight. However, I'd like to see them make 1/6th scale pieces from video games that are not related to Marvel or DC. They made figures of Ezio, Jill Valentine, and Solid Snake in the past. I'm glad that there are third party companies that are making video game figures such as, Limtoys, The Patriot Studio, CC Toys, SW Toys, MToys, and VTS Toys. You also have Damtoys who are officially licensed. With that aside, thanks, Dean! As always, I really appreciate the hard work! Keep it up! God bless and stay safe!

Snake eater is my favorite game. You are the man. Love all your content.

Can't wait to play the remake as I never played it when it first came out ! Enjoyed phantom pain ! Love the camo outfit looks awesome! We need a live stream from you too man !

Looks awesome Dean 👍

Need to get a ps5 pretty much just for this game and dead space remake.. mg3 is amazing but I hope this is leading up to a snes mg games then the mgs remakes

By the way, did you pre-order the Zii Production Metal Legend? I hope it actually releases, that MGS2 look for Snake is nice. Maybe one day Lim Toys will do a proper Shadow Moses MGS1 Solid Snake.

thats a great figure. you could also put a black kneepad on his right knee like in the game! I assume that part would be easy to get. Thinking of modding mine too now.

Undoubtedly, the figure is awesome, but your choice of music… I honestly get Escape From New York vibes. Which I absolutely love and we all know Snake Plissken was the inspiration for this character. Did intentionally use this music for this review?? Once again awesome figure and just an overall awesome collection.

I agree probably one of the best game out there story wise. To me it’s my favorite too I currently bought two mgs3 sealed for ps2 :) can’t wait for the remake and all the collectibles that will come as we wait

Where did you get this piece from? I have a ton of hot toys and sideshow collectibles and never seen this before is it put together with custom parts and suit? •never mind i finished the video and got the info!

Did you use the hot toys body for this?

Hey there where did you purchase this? I'm in Canada. Man it looks dope

Do you know any websites other than eBay to get this exact model/figure?

Camo of figure ?
