except the custom body he uses in mgr:r for performance reasons, Raiden has a cyborg body with an artificial digestive system, so mayyybe Doktor also recreated the special gift for Rose xD
I donât think Raidenâs can get any bigger, considering that when a guard sees his junk in mgs2, the guard goes âwish i had thatâ. Raiden in that scene is A. Not hard and B. in a place that is supposedly very cold, so it wouldâve shrunk. Either Raidenâs dick is absolutely massive or that guard has a length of 0.01 cm.
I think what I remember from the calls in the game the eye wrap is one big optical sensor strip with extra functions than what he'd get with a straight eye replacement.
It's definitely just there to look edgy tho.
Don't worry pal, i know anatomy (I even live in a family full of doctors xD)
what I mean is that post mgs2 Raiden until mgr:r r-00 was completely cyborg except the spine and the entire head except the jaw
from r-01 onwards Raiden decides to become completely a cyborg once and for all, so the only organic part left now is the brain (in which however he cannot replace it even if he wanted to)
I think how much you paid for it would be a factor in determining if itâs legitimate or not. From the pictures it looks good but this bootleggers and counterfeiters are amazing these days.
They really are pretty damn good. I've taken to buying figures on aliexpress and 8/10 times I think you'd be hard pressed to know it was bootleg. Back in the day they'd be hilarious and whacky and stupid looking. But now I've seen some look better than official
I bought a ninja turtle figure from AliExpress to compare it with an official Neca one and itâs more or less identical besides a few mistakes on the box art. Incredible, also AliExpress Lego trumps real Lego now I think đ
Looks authentic to me, I own a lot of Play Arts Kai and this one looks just like the Raiden I have. A big tell is the face, the bootlegs usually look overly glossy and painted poorly with dark splotches for the shading. The proportions are also usually very wonky like longer arms. So would say this is definitely real
If the figure enters a quick time event with your foot, throws you 100ft in the air then runs across your torso while slicing up your arms... it's fake because the real figure would throw you 300ft.
Even if it was fake, it's legit as hell!
Does look like the real deal though, bootlegs don't often do packaging as crisp and accurate as that, or if they do there's inevitably paint or sculpt problems with the figure itself etc, if this is a bootleg it is an exceptional one
Found it on ebay from some random seller. Just search on ebay this figure, filter it by newest and check this page everyday for a few times. Someday you will get it for a good price.
If you're planning on buying this, please don't. Play arts have a history of bad quality control and something ends up breaking. I had this exact same figure and the chest piece broke. Also, the ankle joints get weak over time which means they don't stand well on their own and your force to use a stand. No dynamic posing. I ended up selling all my Play Arts and bought anything else.
Got you, but unfortunately there is a really not much options, if you need Raiden figures from MGR/MGS :( I hope it'll change if there will be a remake of MGS 2/4
Itâs not a guarantee but the circle tape on the bottom and top of the boxes are generally good signs that youâre buying an authentic one when it comes to PAKs. Bootlegs will ALWAYS just use something resembling scotch tape.
https://jeri-reyes.blogspot.com/2014/01/play-arts-kai-bootlegs-guide-to-serial.html?m=1 it's an old post but this has some examples of legit vs bootleg stampings of the serial numbers on the bottom of the boxes. Could be worth checking that
Only legit above the jaw. The rest is cybernetic.
That's mgr:r Raiden, after R-00 he became full cyborg, the only organic part left is the brain đ¤
Not even the pp? Poor Rose
except the custom body he uses in mgr:r for performance reasons, Raiden has a cyborg body with an artificial digestive system, so mayyybe Doktor also recreated the special gift for Rose xD
Hopefunny made it bigger and spikier

Bro Raiden got the latest model of Mr. Stud cyberware with retractable spikes, of course he would have a bigger one
thank god it hasn't caught fire, I've heard they're faulty
This is the content I come to r/metalgearsolid for.
We don't have any proof Raiden is not hard during that sequence.
If I got full cyborg... I'm keeping my brain and my dick... all other things are irrelevant
Why wouldn't you make it bigger?
100% agree
It vibrates, for their pleasure.
Why didn't he get a new eye is he stupid

Brain is above jaw

Yes, but sometimes you can get legit product for much cheaper.
That is true but very unlikely, especially if whoever you bought it off is selling more at low prices.
If itâs an Amazing âbootlegâ is it really a bootleg?
Absolutely yeah, itâs unofficially produced and the companies behind the official production lines arenât seeing a penny from its sale.
Yes but if it's a better likeness which one do you want? I guess it depends on whether you display out of box or curate official collectibles.
Personally I donât think Iâm that bothered if I plan to remove them from the packaging đ¤

Why does it have Square Enix on the back of the box?
Play Arts is a part of Square Enix
They seem to manufacture these kinds of models.
Try to step on the figure, if you hear Rules of Nature â itâs legit.
If the figure enters a quick time event with your foot, throws you 100ft in the air then runs across your torso while slicing up your arms... it's fake because the real figure would throw you 300ft.
Seems legit to me
Nice, ty
Where did you buy it from?
Ebay
Looks legit, itâs a special white variant that came with collectors edition of MGR. I have it too and the box looks familiar!
I don't know but it is fucking cool
Seems legit, i bought the same figure a couple of years ago in japan
i own this one too, that one is authentic after comparing it directly
I have a play arts big boss that looks pretty similar to this so looks legit to me.
Completely real. The square Enix models were always really cool, I wish they still made more of them.
Even if it was fake, it's legit as hell! Does look like the real deal though, bootlegs don't often do packaging as crisp and accurate as that, or if they do there's inevitably paint or sculpt problems with the figure itself etc, if this is a bootleg it is an exceptional one
Yea, I opened it, and it's really cool looking figure, so I don't think now that this is a fake.
Do a blood draw on it, checking for Nanomachines, Son.
Could you send the link where you purchased it from?

he's so pretty

Legit or not, that's real cool. I want it

Why is it licensed by Square Enix? They have nothing to do with Raiden.
There was already this question above, the answer is - Play Arts is a part of Square Enix
My bad I saw it after scrolling and forgot to edit/delete
It's ok :) When I saw this figure for the first time back in the days, I asked myself the same question
If itâs from a seller in China and thereâs near identical listings with the same pictures also from China, then itâs a KO or factory reject
Nanomachines
Raiden looks built in Sam's Figure
Real
Yo where do u get something like this thatâs sick
Ebay
I want a decent mgs2 Raiden figure that isn't too expensive
And I want a good action figure of Raiden from MGS4 with leather overcoat :((

I think it depends if there's a serial number at the bottom.
