This is so hair-cist. =|
I grew out my facial hair for nothing, I tell you. NOTHING.

I guess it might be worth selling on ebay. Now to come up with a mustache. Good thing hair is disqualified; i doubt my asianess could produce facial hair in time.

@AntiZERØ: There's also a new store, "Ages Three and Up" (look it up too). It's a feakin' Mecca for figure collectors, gamers, anime fans, gundam, comic, movie merch, etc.

These are available in the Metrotown Shopping Center's Sakura Media (japanese Import shop) which is in Vancouver Canada, look up the website. The store is about a fourty mins away by by bus and skytrain, and they stock merch regularly. No Stealth Raiden, But they promise to get the Snake's in ASAP :)
Here's hoping to some great pictures from other people.

That was in poor taste, but I guess you can't turn away from reality simply because it is unpleasant.

@AntiZERØ: No, I did not look at the Video, but that's just uncalled for. I just know someone will see the link and check it out, not knowing what it is or looking at the front screen and not figuring out what it is. There's a guy who shot a St.Bernard in the face in the same province as me. ban_hammer, this is just terrible.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but it seems "stealth camouflage version" is the new euphemism for "here's a chunk of plastic, go paint it yourself"...
Time to bring out the blusher and lipstick!
