Your Guide To Finding The Perfect Metal Gear Solid Figure

If you are a big fan of PlayStation’s Metal Gear Solid action game, then you are in good company. Metal Gear Solid is a wildly popular stealth action video game originating in Japan. The game features cinematic scenes created using outstanding graphics and voice acting. This game is given high acclaims by critics, often being called one of the most well received and popular games ever created. The game has produced several sequels and spin-offs and its legendary character, Solid Snake, is the protagonist that is on missions to destroy.

 Many fans of the game have taken up collecting figurines. Besides just Solid Snake, you can easily locate a Liquid Snaketop metal gear solid figure to get a collection off to a good start. As you know, Liquid Snake is the leader of FoxHound and the key antagonist of the game. Members of FoxHound include Revolver Ocelot, Vulcan Raven, Psycho Mantis and Decoy Octopus – the master of disguise. These would make ideal starter figurines as well and you can generally find them quite readily on collector websites, as well as on auction sites.

 As with any collection, it is best to start by collecting the easier to find figures. As you know the game is over two decades old and there have been figures made for much of that time. Some of the older figures, if you are lucky, can be found laying around in second hand stores. If you happen to live in a large city, then by all means take a Saturday and wander through these stores. Who knows? You may find a jackpot hidden away on a toy shelf or in a box tucked into a corner.  If you are not that ambitious, then you would probably prefer to hunt for your metal gear solid figure from the comfort of your own home.

 Whenever you are searching online for specific items, it is a good idea to jot down the estimated prices of the figures you are interested in so that you do not pay a higher amount than the correct value of the figure. If you want a highly sought after figure, consider paying $200 and pick up something like the latest version of Naked Snake – the cold war version hero. You can get this brand new figure, in-box for $200 and it would make the ultimate addition to a collection, without a doubt! The details are amazing, right down to facial features, his eye patch and ankle holster.

 As with any popular series, the figures are sure to increase with value as the years pass. It is therefore important that you purchase figures for your collection that are in pristine condition and preferably with the original packaging included. There are stores online that have a great supply of brand new figurines, so make sure you have a look before purchasing something second-hand. If for any reason in the future you decide to sell your collection, you will surely get more money for a top quality, un-used metal gear solid figure.
