MGS V The Phantom Weirdness

Why?

DAMtoys Universal Soldiers!

Wow, these look pretty impressive! The prototypes were shown at the last china expo, but the actual figure looks good! Knowing DAM, the final product would be pretty close. At least the got the JCVD look down pat haha :p There's gonna be the Dolph Ludgren figure too... i wonder if they'll give the necklace of 'ears' with that muhaha.

Oh Konami..

It's such a love/hate relationship... yeah, MGS V was kinda enjoyable even though it's unfinished... and well, it's doubtful we'll ever see the resolution of the storyline. Well, at least till the planets align and Kojima takes over Konami that is. And they're focusing a bitttt too much on the FOB thing.. i guess that and the addtional skins are the only things they can work on now since the storyline is at a standstill?

Wow, long rant. Not over yet. The latest 1.06 patch has come out.. and it seems Konami has ACTUALLY been listening to players. At a certain point in the game, you lose a certain buddy (although there is a way to prevent this), but it seems in the 1.06 patch they've made a way of getting the buddy back in... sighs, and when i really wanted to dislike Konami. I mean, they've even placed a cryptic picture in their FB page with the patch updates, with no explanation.

Time to get that buddy back. ;)

Why so Engrish?

Man, the standard of English is sure dropping here :p

So cruel, why cannot rest :(

MP-30 Ratchet

So it's coming out after all haha :p Nice! Again, not unexpected. :)

New Hot Toys Announcements

So, looks like the bling trooper is being released! Not unexpected! But a die-cast War Machine? Hmmm, quite a surprise that, was thinking maybe a die cast mk II. Anyway makes no sense preordering, over here a lot of people are dumping their IM stuff, and most of the time people are selling MISB below the PO price too, just a matter of waiting. :p

Now, where's the MGSV figures HT?

Bandai 1/35 VF-1J!

Crazy yeah, the largest scale previously was in 1/48, and the norm now is the 1/60 scale. Could be a one off thing though, as Bandai is known to make the display model but never produce them.
