Waste of time...

They're are alot of better MGS figures of Raiden, a "camo" version doesn't appeal to me.

Hmmm... looks pretty shabby to me. I'll wait for the stiletto wearing MGS4 version ~

@Pornosaur:

If you have the whole set, including the 3 Stealth variants, you can fetch a pretty high price for the whole thing.

Damn, I want this Raiden figure, especially since I already have the rest of the set it belongs to. Damn comic-cons. -_-

A clear Raiden? Really? Were they TRYING to make the shittiest MGS figure possible or was it an accident?

I still have all my McFarlane or whatever Metal Gear Solid action figures new in box. Once a year or so I look at Psycho Mantis and want to open the package, are they even worth the $7 a piece I paid for them?

The reason he's in stealth camo is to trick buyers who don't look closely into thinking it's the MGS4 Raiden (awesome), not the MGS2 Raiden (lame)! You can't fool me!

Regardless of how awesome the MGS2 Plant Chapter ended up being, no one can deny they were disappointed they didn't get to play as Snake, thus the complaining for the last 7 years.

wow. i suppose i should make a comment now about how feminine or how whiney raiden was, because that seems to be the en vogue thing to do these days (and for the last 7 fucking years).

we didn't get to play as solid snake through the plant chapter. whatever. the game was still great. get the fuck over yourselves, people.

They could at least have left his hair colored like in the game. I actually have the non-camo version of that, along with 3 of the other 4 Snake figures in the set. They're awesome, but don't stand worth the shit.

I hate it when any kind of toy gets the transparent treatment. Those are always the ones that go unsold.

HawaiianActor — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:01:12 MDT

so they save some cash on paint, and jump the price up.... hmm... i like it,! i have some limited edition "stealth camo" drawings of Raiden i just made if anyone is interested. you can't really see him on the white paper, or at all for that matter, but trust me, he is there. Only 200 bucks to the next 10 customers!

@ShaggE: its stealth camo as in the stealth camo item from MGS2, you equip it and you become invisible but there is a green tinge to let you know where your character is.

"stealth camo" right, hah, stealth camo is green, this is just artfully avoiding having to paint a figure while still make money.

But...it's Raiden. And I don't mean the pointy hat "Big Trouble in Little China" high-voltage Raiden, I mean the long haired-whiny-makes-Luke-Skywalker-look-l...20-year-old-with-some-stank -on-his-hang-low version.

These clear-plastic figures looks nasty. Remember the crappy Active Camo Halo toys?
