In my mind, Gray Fox was the ONLY ninja in the MGS series. Raiden is a joke and I thoroughly loathed Olga in that exo-suit. Not to mention the exo in MGS2:SOL was not the same model as Gray's. There was a vast difference though the homage to MGS1 was nice.
Still wonder what the story on the "Spider-Man" Ninja variant is..?

And what's the ankle articulation like on the Ninja? That's actually a huge factor in whether I'll get one or not.

There was a vast difference though the homage to MGS1 was nice. Still wonder what the story on the "Spider-Man" Ninja variant is..? HEY!!! I liked Raiden. Everyone has their faves. He's not one of mine. Raiden masquerading around as a ninja is insulting to me. I preferred his MGS2 appearance than what they've turned him into. But that is my opinion. And what's the ankle articulation like on the Ninja? That's actually a huge factor in whether I'll get one or not. The ankles can dorsiflex and plantarflex (meaning they move up and down). The forefeet can rotate 360ยบ. He has a hell of a time standing on his own in certain positions. I have had to resort to using one of the freebie Play Arts stands from NYCC to pose him. The ankles do not tilt to the left or right (inversion/eversion) very much so long, stretched athletic poses are not really possible. Hope this helps in your decision. I still think it was a worthy purchase.

Thanks. I was hoping for a Hot Toys style ball joint at the ankle. The kind you're describing doesn't move quite as naturally and is more prone to breakage.
I still might get one if I can find a good deal. I'm much more excited for Kratos though.

I got the AA Joker today and it wasn't until just now that I realized he is considerably smaller than the MGS Play Arts Kai figures.
That blows since they cost the same.

Bummer about the different scales. Thats nothing new to play arts though. Currently Chris Redfield is towering over Master Chief on my desk. I really want the new Metal Gear figures and the Arkham Asylum, but I feel like I should wait until they hit domestically to save some money.

I ordered the Batman and Joker from some Amazon sellers today. $60 for batman and $50 for joker. Seem to be instock as well. I've been looking around for a good deal on the Cyborg Ninja, but can't seem to find one for less that $85-$90.

I did see those pre-orders thanks, I meant I was looking for a good price from a seller that had them in stock now. Don't think I can wait until May for the Ninja. www.Estarland.com has a pre-order for the Ninja at $48.95. But the expected ship date is May 30. They have some good prices on Play Arts figures though. I have ordered from them in the past.

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!! i'll never buy a Sheppard figure because it'll never be MY Sheppard, i'll never buy an Ashley figure because she bores the hell out of me and aside from trying to nail her for an achievment she was useless on my crew, i will however do whatever is required of me to own that Garrus as he is the most kick ass space lizard in the galaxy I'd have really liked to see Shepard come with a helmet, or maybe for them even to announce an accessory pack with different helmets and weapons. I agree, Liara seems to be the obvious choice, but I'm actually really hoping for Miranda, Wrex, Mordin, and Legion. And Grunt.

And Grunt. my fear is that Garrus aside all my favorites aren't actually on your squad this time around so hopefully they over look that and the fact that they are in the game is enough reason to make them, because Mordin, Legion & Wrex would be the only other 3 i'd likely buy at this price point...and none of them are officily playable wave 2 will probably be super lame if they stick to squad only i'm guessing FemShep, James & Liara. maybe they'll throw in a curve and add Javik, he's pretty much the only other squad member i'd consider picking up

well Grunt doesn't exist yet, and might never. and honestly i'd be a little worried if they did try and make the Krogan as they don't seem to do bulky people well

I can see them rolling out Tali, Liara, and FemShep next. I couldn't care less about James but totally agree about Javik!
And why doesn't Grunt exist yet? These are figs from ME3, you can see it's Ashley's updated design.
Other possible characters I can see are Kaiden, Edi, and maybe even Anderson. But I really hope they delve into the ME2 characters. At least they appear in the new game...

i ment a figure of him doesn't exist, obviously the tank freak is walkin around squishing rachni and sure EDI is probably getting made, you know those Japenese and their sexy robot ladies. but as much as i enjoyed the game this one easily had the lamest crew of them all, was so dissapointed that it was so small and so damn boring, so yes i really really hope they make the much cooler non squad people into this line.....at least Mordin because i love that guy

I'm personally really glad to have Liara and Garrus back, but everyone else sucks except Javik. I mean we've had Tali all 3 games, and James and Ashley seem redundant. I'd have gladly taken a Krogan over James, and Legion over Ash or Tali. Even though I loved Mordin, I thought his role in this game was very fitting. Thane wasn't missed, even though I usually like his character type. And James, did I mention I disliked him? Also EDI sucks as a character, what a waste of a slot. Here's hoping they put out another DLC with a new character!

James was boring thats for sure, Ash pissed me off every time she said anything that had Cerberus and me in the same line.
EDI i agree wasn't that great, but i didn't mind having her around she said some fun stuff unlike Ash and Jimmy. what annoyed the hell out of me about her though was even when she was in your squad you'd still talk to her via the ships comm whenever you'd speak to her in a cutscene.
and yes as much as i hated that it happened Mordin was done perfectly in the game, same with Legion even though i was there was another way to set them both up
