Hi, thanks for your message. Are the pegs loose or not fitting properly? If you send me a message on Instagram @Desertoctopus, I can help you better.

The legs fit together but it's too loose. I printed it twice and got the same result. I believe it needs adjustment in the pattern, just in the leg placement.

I know the problem; it's common with these types of pieces. Sometimes I'm forced to give the pieces more play than they should have. I have to make my work compatible with the resin and filament format, but there's a solution. You can cut a little bit of tape around the blankets. This, in addition to creating more material within the joint, protects the articulation from material-on-material friction, as well as giving it the strength to withstand poses on your shelf.

I solved it by heating and shaping it, opening up the joints more, but I'll mold something out of TPU that provides more support to make it better. Thank you.

I appreciate your interest, but I’m not approving remixes of this model. I prefer to keep this piece as originally released.
Thanks for understanding and for respecting my work.

But don't worry, I understand the idea you're trying to give me; you'd like a head more like those artworks, and that's fine by me. I'll do a re-edition soon.

Hi, no, it doesn't have an articulated head because of the hair blocking the joint.

I have absolutely no problem with it; on the contrary, thank you for doing so. If you need a design modification or anything else, don't hesitate to send me a message, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could share a picture of that crazy idea with me. God bless you and may the force be with you.

Hi, currently the retro-style Metal Gear figures are a huge sales success. My idea is to create figures of all the characters from the games. I'm starting with Metal Gear Solid, and I'll continue with Metal Gear Solid 3 or Metal Gear. I recommend you follow me on Instagram @Desertoctopus; I'll be posting updates there. While I'm working on new characters, I'm also working on a tank compatible with these 3.75" figures.

Hello!
Thank you very much for your message and for purchasing the Phantom of Paradise files.

The issue you’re experiencing usually happens when the ZIP folder hasn’t been extracted yet. Slicers can’t open ZIP files directly — the files must be uncompressed first.

Here’s a quick guide to fix it:

Locate the ZIP file you downloaded.

Right-click the file and choose “Extract All…” (Windows) or “Open With > Archive Utility” (Mac).

After extracting, you will find the actual .OBJ files inside the new folder.

Open your slicer and import the OBJ files from the extracted folder.

Once the folder is unzipped, the files should load without any issues.

If you need further help or run into any other problem, feel free to message me — I’ll be happy to assist!

Hello!
Thank you so much for your continued support — it really means a lot to me, and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the items you’ve picked up in the past.

About the head packs you mentioned (Star Wars, TMNT, Super Powers, MOTU):
I’m currently following a very specific workflow and schedule for the designs I release, so for now I’m keeping everything aligned with the projects already in progress.

I genuinely appreciate the suggestion, though — ideas like yours help me see what collectors are looking for, and I keep them in mind when planning future drops. If anything along those lines becomes possible later, you’ll definitely see it appear in the shop.

Thanks again for reaching out, and feel free to message me anytime!

I feel like you have all the head designs already you just need to put them in a pack and release it. However I appreciate you reaching back out and your work flow! Thank

yes, sure, thanks . Hey, would you like a classic line or would you also like to see new characters in the same style?

Id like to see the classic line, mainly the ones that are hard to get hold of like the hasbro series 11 etc. Thank you :)

Hi, I'm checking the files and everything seems to be in order, their size is 3.75". Perhaps you have something enabled in your slicer that reduces the sizes; download the files again just in case.

Thanks for the reply but downloaded again and it’s the same. What should be the final height of the figure ?

3.75" tall.

Please send me a message on Instagram, send me some photos so I can analyze what might be happening. You can find me as @Desertoctopus

LAs antiguas o las nuevas? justo ahora trabajo en 4 figuras simultaneamente, Jhony, la Novata, big boss, y el tanque

Las antiguas. Las que eran super posables!

They're currently under maintenance. I'm developing better technologies to more easily produce these types of figures. If you've already explored my new designs based on Metal Gear Solid, you'll know they include new features like pre-assembled designs and other experimental pieces. Once perfected, these will translate into Play Arts Kai-style figures, but instead of making a figure with 70 separate printed pieces to assemble, I'm thinking it would be better to print very complexly articulated torsos, arms, or legs, but you only need to print fewer than 5 pieces to have a fully assembled character.

Estan en mantenimiento, actualmente desarollo mejores tecnologias para producir de manera más facil ese tipo de figuras, si ya has explorado mis nuevos diseños basados en Metal Gear Solid, en ellas suelo incluir características nuevas cómo los nuevos diseños pre ensamblados y demás piezas experimentales que al perfeccionarlos , se traducirá en figuras estilo Play Arts Kai, pero en lugar de hacer una figura con 70 piezas impresas separadas para ensamblar, pienso en mejor mandar a imprimir torzos, brazos o piernas muy complejamente articulados pero solo tengas que imprimir menos de 5 piezas para tener un personaje completamente ensamblado

entiendo, algún plazo de tiempo hasta que estén listas? gracias por responder!

Sounds great, give me a few days and I'll bring an update.

Hi, thanks for your message. Yes, the head was missing... But I've added it now, I don't know what happened. You can now download the update for free.

some day..

The files in the "zip" folder are the old 3D scans. Download your purchase again and use the uncompressed files.

The files that are not compressed are the updated designs. Thank you for letting me know about this situation. I should rename that zip folder to something that says "Old 3D Scans" to avoid this type of confusion.

Totally worked! Thank you for the update!

Yes, I thought about this occasion and also included a 9.5cm version with this suit variant. I think if you have it, it's still updated in my back catalog, so we can keep it available for a few weeks.

Bonjour !
Merci pour votre message 😊
La figurine de Kaneda peut être imprimée aussi bien en résine qu’en filament (PLA).

En résine, vous obtiendrez un niveau de détail plus fin et une surface plus lisse, idéale pour les pièces de collection.

En filament, c’est une option plus résistante et économique, parfaite si vous prévoyez de manipuler ou articuler la figurine.

Pour la peinture, je recommande d’utiliser de la peinture acrylique ou vinyle.
Un excellent choix sont les bombes de peinture utilisées pour le graffiti : elles offrent une large gamme de couleurs mates, sèchent rapidement et donnent un rendu très propre sur ce type de figurines rétro.

N’hésitez pas si vous avez besoin d’autres conseils pour la finition ou le montage !

Yes, thanks for letting me know, the thing is I uploaded it as .stl and it sucks because it's an unstable format. I usually upload the designs in .OBJ format, give me a few hours to rescale it. A thousand apologies, every day I am learning new techniques and tricks to bring you better figures and then this happens just for giving the opportunity to the .STL format

(It always fails! but people are used to the fact that it is the format for 3D printing and no, it is for CNC cutting, and the .OBJ format requires volumes, sizes and shapes, but people get scared and spend their time screwing around saying they want the fucking .stl)

Ok no se preocupe ya me funciono el formato OBJ tiene el tamaño perfecto

No lo sé... lo siento

No de momento...Pero Es una increíble idea y en unos días puedo diseñarlo, Le haré saber cuando esté disponible!!!

Muy bien,gracias! La comprare de inmediato. La que tienes del america se ve genial.

I inspected the design and added a new file, you should have already received a notification announcing the update.

Excellent, you can check the arms same thing happens.

Give me a few days and I'll bring you a color .obj version of this design.

I'm looking forward to it. success and good work.

can we make this work quickly. i make a documentary on youtube and i must be quickly

?

I'm not sure what the problem is, the files look fine...could it be that your program doesn't have .obj files enabled? I know it can be enabled. If you prefer, you can message me on Instagram.

In theory, "No" because of the arc shapes that form when printing flat, but we all know that the best definitions are achieved by tilting the parts...and using our own tricks.
