    I dunno... It's painted well... But parting lines on the legs are terrible.

    Considering the standard Bandai is setting these days with their Plamodel... something like that shouldn't be there... #metalgearsolid

    @gdodd12: import stuff is expensive im afraid. i paid 250 for squall bahamut statue and that thing is nowhere as big as this.

    Seriously though, the United States should look into this technology seriously. I cannot possibly see how having a giant, rail-gun equipped nuclear robot would do anything but stimulate this economy.

    .... Now I really really Really want that...

    Though part of me wishes it was a Model Kit in the same vein as Bandai's Gundam Kits, so I could have the satisfaction of putting it together myself...

    I suppose I should be just thankful it isn't a custom figure... #metalgearsolid

    @Z33RO: I suggest robbing a bank. I know, we can rob one together. Then after your job is complete I kill you.

    ... Wait, I wasn't supposed to tell you that part of the plan...

    I seriously don't know how I'm going to get my hands on it though... Who are ThreeA? They're not listed on Hobby Link Japan, so I'm guessing they're Not a Japanese company?

    *finds and looks at their Impressive, but confusing, flash site*

    Nope, definitely not... But not sure where they are based... Wow, it'll have been a while since I've brought a toy that wasn't from Japan, and wasn't a Transformers.

    Here come the Kojima haters with ill-placed I-told-you-so's. (something in me hates seeing the apostrophe, but without the apostrophe, it says "Sos" so...)

    I'm not interested in Twilight, but damn... Let a guy like something you don't. He's an eccentric genius. He's allowed eclectic and even eccentric tastes (yay for e words) #hideokojima

    @bobtheduck in Korea:

    Yeah, people can have their own tastes. But Twilight is a pop-culture abortion. I mean, I don't like Harry Potter, either, but at least Rowling has a bit of writing talent. Twilight prose is fucking awful. It reads like a 13 goth girl's manuscript from a summer school creative writing class. So I guess it totally makes sense Kojima likes it XD #hideokojima

    This is understandable hence "Vamp" However, I'd say he was interested in vampires (or the genre) beforehand. I just think he'd share his interest in the vampire genre or character to the masses as he felt comfortable with it, nothing more. Another hint for you guys, "Castlevania" #hideokojima

    Maybe in much the same way that things translated from Japanese to English often lose something in translation, perhaps things translated from English to Japanese gain something.

    Like plot, characterization, cohesiveness, structure and literary value.
