Highlights of Hobby Complex 06: Heavy Guage
by DickMcVengeance on 01/13/2009 0 comments

Heavy Guage's figures are more in line with what I'd expect from a Japanese company, and what a group they seem to be. They only had two figures on display, from what Moeyo shows us, but that's all they need, really.

The most impressive is the Old Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4. Featuring an incredible amount of detail both in Snake himself and in the scenery around him. The setting has an incredibly realistic look, in that it looks like the whole scene was pulled right out of the ground. I'm not sure the price on this item -- the tag near Snake reads "Snake Head - 3000 yen," and I'm not quite sure as to what that'd refer to -- I doubt they'd sell solely the head.

The other one, Yori from To Heart 2 Another Days, is every so loli-tastic that it makes me feel bad just looking at it. Yori here mixes a bare-bones outfit with the always popular cat ears, creating an outfit that makes me blush just as much as the figure. As well done as this one is, I can't place it on my shelf in good conscience

Be sure to check out Heavy Guage's website, where they also seem to work with another group named Megane.
