Solidus Snake figure lookin' hot, Meryl not so much photo

Square Enix's Play Arts Kai line is about to get two new action figures based on Metal Gear Solid. First up is "Mr. President" himself, Solidus Snake, and he's looking pretty pimp unpainted. I don't think I'd even want him to be painted, he's looking so good.

Next up is Meryl Silverburgh, painted. She's looking... well... I dunno. Something is off with her face. It's not derpy, nor is it mannish. She looks slightly constipated. Is that just me? Maybe it's just me.

The figures are expected in either the third or fourth quarter of 2012. No price tags have been tossed about, but considering how much other Play Arts Kai pieces go for, expect to pay between $35 and $50 each.

Under the Radar: Play Arts Kai Solidus and painted Meryl [Tomopop]

What is this Ponce Sunday? That's not a jab. It's a question.

Solidus is such a cool underrated mgs villain, his figure looks boss, like ponce said Meryl does look iffy.

Derp got lame in like 2003. I can't believe it became a meme so long after existing for so long as a south park joke, from like 1998...

That was a poorly written, yet inbreadably valid point I made there.

Meryl's not ugly... Just stupid. She married Johhny "Crap his pants" Akiba for goodness sake. What a dumb redhead. Her voice actor is the same as Tsunade though, so that's a plus.

Also, yeah I just spoiled MGS4 for you. I don't care. You should have already played MGS4 even if you don't have a PS3, ya idiots.

I think Meryl looks just fine; great, even. I don't see what the problem is. Big Boss does look awesome though.

Oishidesu, I've already played MGS4, but still that's a fucking stupid thing to write.

She's got a really long neck and a really long chin.

It would be the chin that's the issue. That's...a really pointy chin.

First thing I noticed about the Meryl figure was that she randomly has the Dreamworks face going on.

Actually, seeing a sword fight between Jack, Sears, and Jeager would be pretty damn awesome.

@Sweaty - Uh, hate to tell you this, but "Derp" existed long before South Park, sonny.

I don't think I deserve ALL of the credit, but thanks! Also, another spoiler... Solid Snake is old, MGS4 is the 4th game in the MGS series, and Meryl always has her clothes on. No pointy nipples sticking out her tank tops and showing her underwear in the restroom this time around!
I'm off to ruin MGS4 to other people again by spoiling useless/unimportant spoilers!

Ponce is our resident weekend poster. If you go back and look at the last weekends, he often has the most posts. I assume its because he stays sober.

Well, the say opposites attract. Meryl went for Johnny, so that would explain the constipation.

Meryl kind of looks like she's going "HNNNNNNNNNNNGH". Just a bit.

I'd still buy her.

I might buy that Solidus Snake, he was my favorite character until Big Boss came around, might even still be.
