Metal Gear Solid Figure Review
Today, I am going to do a review on the Metal Gear Solid Figures, ‘Snake and Meryl Special Edition Box Set’. The figures come together in a fish tank along with some of their weapons. These are figures based off the characters from the first ‘Metal Gear Solid’ game. There are also 6 other figures from the same series that can be collected.
First, I will review the Solid Snake figure. Snake comes with around 14 points of articulation. He has 4 weapons and 2 gadgets. The weapons are: a SOCOM pistol, a FAMAS rifle, a missile launcher with a missile and C4. The gadgets are a gas mask and night-vision goggles. The figure itself is well painted, can stand properly, and has nice figure detail. When I found out about the ‘Metal Gear Solid figures’, I wanted to get Snake first but I could ever find the figure in stores or Ebay. However, when I stumbled across the ‘Snake and Meryl Box Set’, I thought that was even better since I was trying the collect the 4 main characters of the series, Snake, Liquid, Meryl and Gray Fox.
Now I will review the Meryl figure. Meryl has a Desert Eagle pistol, a FAMAS rifle and a knife. She only has 8 points of articulation. Like Snake, she has fine detail and good paint job. Unlike Snake, she lacks balance. Because she has no leg articulation, she cannot stand. Therefore, I recommend, if you get this figure, to buy a stand as well.
Overall, the box set is much better than buying the two figures separately. If you are a Metal Gear Solid fan, especially of the first game, I recommend you to buy this exclusive box set.
