## Description

Product Description From the popular classic game Metal Gear Solid comes the Metal Gear Rex plastic model kit from Kotobukiy. Safety Warning Ne convient pas aux enfants de moins de 3 ans

Review: Fun to make and a pleasure to behold - With the assistance of a pair of clippers and a hobby knife, this model is really easy and fun to put together. Some small external parts, such as the smoke grenade canisters, are prone to falling off so you may want to consider a hint of polystyrene cement to glue them in place. The level of detail is astounding and the end result, even without painting, is just as intimidating as I remember it being. Exceptionally good value for money.
Review: Outstanding - I am a bit of a geek. I love building model kits and though I managed to stave off this hobby for quite some time, discovering this Rex kit really put a hole in the boat. So, having built quite a number of model kits in my time, I have to make clear that this kit is by FAR the best quality I have ever encountered. The parts do not even require glue for assembly, yet they fit together almost perfectly. The tolerances on this kit are beyond impressive, and the final model itself is simply amazing. Fellow reviewers here seem to concur with me. This model is worth every single penny of the £90 or so I paid for it (though it seems the price has increased quite a bit since the release of MGSV). Essentially, this model is outstanding quality and as another reviewer has said already, it really is as intimidating as hell. This is a must-have for any nostalgic Metal Gear fan. Buy one before they go out of production. Well done, Kotobukiya.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I probably could make this but do you need to paint it? I'm useless at painting models and don't want to spend a fortune just for a plain model of it**
A: Hi, The model does come unpainted but as the plastic is gray anyway, it would still look pretty good once made. But for the price this model costs, that would be doing it a great disservice, and when did you see an unpainted REX in any of the games? I would however, hold off from building the model until you have gained building or painting experience from other, cheaper models. I'm planning on building a diorama and painting mine to look like the REX at the end of MGS4, complete with damaged guns, but I will need more skills before I attempt to do that. Also, I think an airbrush would be essential to getting smooth even coats of paint. The special black version of this kit was super cheap when it came out not long ago, but even that has greatly increased in price now.If I were you, buy the model, store it safely, make a few other models and practice painting, then come back to this model in the future and do an amazing job on it.

**Q: I can't get the ball joints to connect?**
A: They sort of just pop in, little bit of force is needed (as they are movable)

**Q: Does this set include the mini solid, liquid and grey foxcharacter figures?**
A: It actually includes TWO variations of grey fox making the total number of figures included 4

**Q: Does this kit come with waterslide decals?**
A: I bought mine a long time ago but i cant remember decals, i painted mine by hand

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most adult Lego around
*by T***D on 18 May 2018*

very cool, arrived pretty quickly considering it came all the way from japan. while instructions weren't in English they are heavily picture based and easy to follow, and if you really need translations it's easy to google for translated manuals. The model itself has so much articulation as well, it's super cool. be prepared to set aside time to build, it takes a while, but it's very fun and satisfying, like super adult Lego.
