NEWS Tokyo Game Show - Next Week Most of our Hong Kong and Japanese distributors/vendors will be attending the Tokyo Game Show that kicks off on September 24 and opens to the public on September 26. Even though the show doesn't begin until next Thursday, many of our trading partners will be starting their TGS hiatus on September 19. Next week is the last week they'll get a chance to relax before the hysteria of the shopping season starts to build. It's sort of like a snowball that rolls downhill and gains both mass and momentum. The TGS website describes this year's visual theme as follows: "The main visual of the TOKYO GAME SHOW 2009 expresses the concept of “Game, It’s so energetic!” using different shapes and motifs all shooting out from a game start button." We thought it was an advert for a new shmup.

TOYS RAH #455 Naked Snake Cold War Version - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Solid Snake or just "Snake" strikes an imposing figure when garbed in dark combat fatigues and camouflage. Gruff, surly, and overly serious, Snake usually has a cigarette pursed between his lips. We think he's smoking a Marlboro but there's no way in hell it's a Pall Mall. Snake's dark garb is conducive to stealth and sneaky tactics when he does those things that he does.
Medicom's latest rendition of Snake (well, Big Boss really... but they're clones anyway) for their renowned Real Action Heroes figure series takes inspiration from Metal Gear Solid 3 and puts our favorite special ops wunderkind in a decidedly flamboyant outfit. The bright orange utilitarian uniform that Snake's wearing basically screams "Look at me!" at the top of its lungs and the yellow hammer and sickle etched across the front connotes cold war Mother Russia.
The new RAH Naked Snake figure measures 30cm or 11.81" tall and is equipped with the usual accoutrements needed for a special ops mission. Please note the figure is limited to only 1000 units. «Shots»
