How cool it would be if we got a six inch line based on an Anti-Nuclear Warfare Tactical Espionage game...
Yeah, Bitches, I'm talking about Hasbro Tackling Metal Gear Solid. Sadly, the Metal Gears would have to be undersized and done through Haslab and they'd be expensive AF.
Metal Gear Rex is 42.7 ft tall, 49.2 ft long and 37.7 ft wide. Converting it into 1/12 scale, MGRex is 3.56 feet tall, 4.1 ft long and 3.14 ft wide
Metal Gear Ray is 70.5 feet tall, 52.5 feet long, and 104 feet wide. Converting this to 1/12 scale makes Ray almost 5.88 ft tall, 4.75 ft long, and 8.67 ft wide.
These are highly unlikely to happen at true 1/12 scale. BUT forget the giant mecha for a moment... let's talk characters:
Snake, Grey Fox, Raiden, Meryl, Solidus, Ocelot, etc. Could you imagine having Grey Fox fighting Snake Eyes while Raiden fights Storm Shadow. Serpentor and Snake duking it out, while Liquid is fighting Duke. Vulcan Raven vs Roadblock... Having Cobra troopers being duped by the Cardboard Box trick... other than the god awful (in hindsight) McFarlane figures, no one in the west has tackled Metal Gear. Various companies in Japan have made attempts but multiples of scales and none of the figures are compatible with each other makes it hard to collect. Then there's also bootlegs to complicate things. But it would be interesting to see what Hasbro could do with MGS...
