anime52k8 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hmmm...I wonder what retailers will carry this beast...might actually consider purchasing it.... usually it's shops like Sideshow and BBTS. I'm sure there will be similar retailers that will carry it for other regions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMANIFESS Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Sold out on HLJ, Sideshow still has their preorders up. I couldn't pass up that flex-pay option. This thing is going right on my 1/48 shelf to stand in for the lack of Destroids in that scale. Edited March 12, 2012 by GMANIFESS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 This thing is huge....i'm tempted to get it but i have no shelf space for it. Its the size of a small child! Not to mention the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I plead lack of space, you honor. Besides, I'm only allowed on bank-breaking purchase a year. The one for 2012 has already been filled by HT's 1/60 Tumbler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yeah... RAY never really did it for me the way REX does... But, depending on budget, I will try to get it. Four more months till REX drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Four Six more months till REX drops. fixed that for you. :edit: anyways, here's a couple more pictures... Edited April 28, 2012 by anime52k8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It looks like they are using rubber for the feet of Ray, but it still seems that a stand is needed. No bother, I really like Ray over Rex. If I have the necessary "resources" before pre=order goes up, I'll consider a buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) damn the lighting effects on rex are so cool... Edited April 28, 2012 by anime52k8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I wonder what they will do for Ray. The hydro cutter in the mouth probably wouldn't be too hard, as well as lighting the eyes and cockpit, but beyond that, I don't see much more potential. And does the hydro cutter even warrant an LED? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiotheforsaken Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I had to pass on Rex, but I really love Ray. If they knock it out of the park with the paint job on him I may have to find a way to get one. Hopefully there is some sufficient time to save for him.

GMANIFESS Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I'm so glad Sideshow has a monthly payment plan. Otherwise there was no way i was dropping that much all at once for Rex. Edited May 3, 2012 by GMANIFESS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN_MARINE Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Nice. Contact customer service about the missing antenna, they will sort it out. The 2nd radome fin doesn't exist - 3A forgot about it, along with the camera assembly(?) in the middle of the torso. I'm pretty sure it was a mix-up with the "battle damaged" line art from MGS4 & the "pre-battle" line art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was a mix-up with the "battle damaged" line art from MGS4 & the "pre-battle" line art. Yep, just read about it on the forums. Strange how they have been amazingly accurate for the most part, but neglected some smaller details from the original MGS. I'm still waiting for mine to ship.

electric indigo Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks for the photos, Cain. I hope to give my Kotobukiya Rex a similar appearance, only a little lighter on monetary and display space resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAIN MKII Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 You're welcome indy. Yep, I too ordered the kit. It looks more accurate and easier to pose too. Will be a lot fun to paint too:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 About that Kotobukiya Rex kit, are the cammo patterns pre-tampoed/printed/painted, or do you have to mask and paint them yourself? I'm tempted to buy the kit, but I'm not sure I'm experienced enough to do those cammo patterns. So far, I've only done some tests on my AB and compressor set using scrap plastic.
