first, to answer a FAQ, the figure it's self is between 6"-7" tall. now on to the review: this figure is highly detailed and has many points of articulation for maximum posability. it has many accessories: an alternate face (seen in the product pics), numerous alt hands, including ones that allow snake to hang from your shelf, 4 smokes which can be placed in specific hands, a silenced pistol (suppressor can't be removed), M4 rifle which can be fitted with a muzzle flair, and snakes signature cardboard box. the main face also has movable eyes (a new feature to me), and yes, you can give snake derp eyes.

now to the bad. the holster unfortunately is just there for looks, you can't put the pistol in it. the other problem I have is that the torso joints, at least on mine, are very loose and move around way too much.

all in all a great figure, a bit pricey though. recommended for any metal gear fan with money to spare.

Build quality is amazing, aside from the eye paint job, though that's what I expected from the pictures. Posing this beauty spoils, as there's so many option and cool dynamic poses that bring Snake to life. This is a must have for any Metal Gear Solid fan.

One issue I found was the gripping hands for the shimmy pose weren't able to connect to the arm pegs properly so I couldnt get a hanging pose done, although it isn't a dealbreaker for me because I didn't plan to use that pose anyways.

A fantastic figure! Lots of great articulation, joints are loose enough to wear they can move easily but stuff enough to stay in place. The amount of accessories he comes with are awesome! Detail on the figure is great! Overall, a "solid" figure and definitely worth picking up, try to find a better price though.

I looked over the the internet at various pictures and video reviews. I pondered picking this figure up because I was so unsure of the face and the size of this piece. When I got it I. The mail it is small and that is upsetting because I would like to have a larger piece of this Solid Snake much like the Play Arts Kai figures. But for what it is lacking it makes up with subtle details and accessories. The cigarettes are a nice touch and really bring this figure to life. He has amazing detail and color. I really recommend this peice to ANY Metal Gear fan.

Price is a bit steep for the size, but it's worth it if you're a fan of the series. Got it as a gift, instead of for myself, and I kinda wish I got two now. The faces are pretty well done, even though it looks like snake is wearing eyeliner/eyeshadow, but no harm done, the rest of everything is pretty spot-on. The fact that he's poseable and has extra parts like hands in a grabbing fashion for ledges, optional heads for expressions and gestures for smoking, sneaking and going full-bore automatic with the M4, as well as his signature hiding box have already made for some hilarious and totally epic Elf on the Shelf moments! Great piece of memorabilia if you're a fan of MGS, and while not very big, still stands out in any sort of display. Very cool, all around.
