lol there's a certain old-school vibe with this figure. I think this Old Snake looks like Charlton Heston!
This thing seems to have strayed a bit from the source material....
Is that a batman figure with a different head? =S
That...is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
..Wow.. that thing is hideous!
That's bloody awful. Is it home made or something?
Why does he look like he's about to throw up...
Apparently Old Man Snake is a bit of a juicer...
This guy is ripped up like a bad report card
Does he come with a prescription bottle?
DAMN that shit is ugly.
@DaveKap: Probably because he just finished rolling around in a metal barrel.
yeah......
This has to be home made.
wow little head
Sad face
Apparently it's just the McFarlene MGS2 Solid Snake head on the body of a Batman doll.
@akwinters: Ahh there we go, now the main post shows this info. :)
haha nice. For homemade this is pretty damn good. Looks like Snake has been pumping iron since his last trailer.
I'm sorry, but this totally disgraces Batman.
might not looks to much like old snake (except the head with that solid eye) but hey, its self made and who wouldn't be proud of that?
I like it, but I'm a fan of homemade figures from my love of Toyfare back in the day.
Most of you who throw insults without giving a nod to it, should try to homebrew a figure, it can get difficult.
good work on the figure. however its ugly as sin.
I commend your efforts Tony! If that was a McFarlane toy it would be hideous, as many expert toy makers attack the same figure, but since it's just the work of a fan, I give it thumbs up!
He looks more senile than usual
his neck...its so tiny!
but good effort! go you!
I like this version better...

@kiigan: Err... the post has words in it. When you read the words in the post, it gives you info like that.
an ugly figure, with or without head swap
He looks quite young to me, like a rather young Snake with gray dyed hair...
I think it'd look way better if he popped the two shoulder pads off and added the harnesses. I'd also think about painting the body a gunmetal gray, but that could look bad if you didn't do it right. Otherwise, pretty cool.
Oh, now that I know it's home made, I guess it's not so bad....
Don't tell Trebek, but it looks like the affable host back when he had his mustache.
@Someonedood:
Well duh, that's an official figure. This is a kitbash.
I feel like he should be pressuring me to get my diabetes checked or eat some oatmeal. He's very much giving me a Wilford Brimley sort of vibe.
Coolinm concept, but poor execution.
this might be the first action figure to perform CQC............
on its self {*_*}
hahaha it looks like Robert Downey Jr in Ironman
Old Snake? =(
you guys are dicks. the face is a bit happy but its well done otherwise, from the old Toyfare standards.
@TheIrishNinja:
hey Toyfare was the shiznit! i seen some cool mods back in the day! this one is alright. ive seen better back in the day. but im sure this dude tried his best. im just ragging on it cause i can :D
Love how many people here didn't read the text...and I would like to see those people making a better one.
@kiigan:
Do people even bother to read?
No, they just play games.
ahahahahahahaha! I love it :D
tough crowd, damn. I like it
This is creepy in many ways!
@kiigan: "show off this Metal Gear Solid 4 Old Snake action figure he made by"
Uh, yeah, I'd figure that means it's homemade. Don't worry, I miss glaringly obvious details like that a lot, too... So I'm not making fun of you or anything.
...Solid Snake versus Batman.
Who wins?
not impressed :/
sorry =(
it's not bad but i've seen much better (not necessarily snake but just better mod jobs in general)
Wow, Old Snake looks like Gary Oldman circa Leon. That may be its only good point.
GOD that is the most ugly figure in this world! Snake looks so metro sexual.
Robot Chicken called, they actually want to hire you, Tony, nice work.
You couldn't just cough up the 15 bucks for a real Old Snake figure?
@Double J:
You speak truth.
Wow some really harsh feedback here, some good things as well. I did use an old MGS 2 figures head and refitted it onto the new batman movie figure, also sculpting the mustache and Eye patch and then hand painting it. Thanks Brian for showing him.
Yes I am Tony of Tonyzcustomz.com =)
Hahaha! Looks like a scene from Robot Chicken.
If they made a cheap plastic copy of the statue, with no painting at all... it would be much, much better than this. This... This.
Kind of cool, but I'll stick with the 6" Old Snake figurine that comes with the MGS4 LE here in the UK :)
Other than the super beefiness (can't be helped, but goddamn Snake is juicing and pumping some iron) it's pretty cool.
@bobtheduck:
Thanks :)
@Impul5se:
omy! The secret identity of Batman!! xD
He seems confused.... It's like he is thinking " I am Batman right? " " Why is my hair grey? " "What time is J.A.G. on? "
Love the thunder birds reference
