Metal Gear Solid:
Solid Snake and Meryl Silverburgh Special Edition by McFarlane
Toys
If you like
videogames, action figures, and exquisite craftsmanship, then you will
probably just love these two figures from McFarlane Toys. The sheer
level of detail is right up there with other releases from the company.
Meryl has detail right down to her hair, Snake looks positively
bad-assed, and the weapons selection and detail is fantastic.
Note:
Meryl does not come with grapple in Special Edition.
However these
features make the figures suffer from a mild case of
look-but-don’t-touch-itus, as they are just beautiful to look at, but
a temptation to fiddle with them, putting them into zillions of possess
and generally wearing them down is very tempting. Unfortunately the
fiddle factor could directly equate to losing the myriad of
weapons, and
loosen the joints beyond repair. If you have the money to buy two of
each action figure you get, one for display, the other for play, then
knock yourself out, but this is a special edition. Find a nice bit of
shelf space, slap it up, look at it with starry-eyed wonder, and leave
it at that.
