Life-sized Solid Snake for sale

by Majed Athab { Jul 2nd 2008 at 1:00PM }

Size matters folks. Those puny six inch Solid Snakes that came with Euro Limited Ed. MGS4s are not enough to satisfy. You need something big -- real big. Like, how about a six foot Solid Snake? That's sure to please.

This retail promotional statue comes all the way from Italy and has a starting bid on eBay at around €1,990. It's a pretty steep price to pay, but that's what happens when you call yourself a collector. Even if you're not planning on bidding, check out the auction for more pics of this immortalization of one of the greatest videogame heroes.

Unless the octocamo actually works, I'm not interested.

I'll wait for a Solid snake garden gnome.

I would buy that in a second.

You could always put a cardboard box in your yard and pretend he's under it. It's an economical alternative.

Creepy.

Wasn't there the exact same thing reported being sold at Costco or an equivalent? I could have sworn I've seen this before.

something about this thing doesnt look right. I already have a life-size Stephen Colbert cut-out, getting this would really seal the deal on my needed to get out more.

I think it looks too young. They should have made more wrinkles around the eyes and cheeks. Like the bottom half of the face is perfect but if you cover that part and only look at the top you can't really tell if he is old or not.

With that life sized doll Old Snake look alot younger than in MGS4. It's like he's young again yet he's dyed his moustache and hair grey.

Actually... it looks like the doll's moustache is white and the hair is grey. It's still pretty neat though, although way too expensive.

A store near where I live has the young snake model ... this looks like it's a slightly retouched model of that. It's not even very well done. 1900 bucks for that? Never.

Inuendo. Tee hee.

Popfrogs @ Jul 2nd 2008 2:45PM

Call me when it has real hair. ;)

In the auction it insists that this statue is very, very rare. This is unlikely the case seeing as I have already personally seen two of these statues and neither were in Italy. One was in Madrid and the other was in a Virgin store in Paris. This is steep price to pay for something that is not a one off. But to be honest it is a pretty impressive statue in real life. But 2000 Euro? Honestly?
