Mad Max Triple Threat Returns!

Mad Max fans rejoice! You've made your voices heard, and AbbyShot listened:

ALL our Mad Max Products will re-stock in July!

That's right, you can once again own all three replicas based on everyone's favourite post-apocalyptic anti-hero, Max! Pre-ordering has already begun for the following Mad Max items, so you can reserve yours now.

The Mad Max Jacket by AbbyShotThe Mad Max Jacket

The best Mad Max replica jacket on the market, crafted from durable leather with screen-accurate shoulder caps - this is a must-have item for any Mad Max aficionado.

Customer Testimonial:
AbbyShot has done a wonderful job, and I doubt anyone else could make a replica any more original, because this one already is exactly like the original. If you are wondering about buying the Mad Max Jacket, then stop wondering and go buy it. Even if you aren't a huge Mad Max fan this jacket is great and looks great.

The Mad Max Gloves by AbbyShotThe Mad Max Gloves

These leather gloves were M.I.A. from the AbbyShot site for a while, but due to fan response we had to bring them back! Looking exactly like those worn by Mel Gibson in the first Mad Max film, you won't find replica gloves like these anywhere else!

Customer Testimonial:

The Mad Max Gloves are just perfect. They had a tough act to follow, coming in the same box with two coats, but they are the scrappy, hot-rod little brother that won't be ignored. The fit is excellent, the leather feels great, and - oh yeah, they look just like in the movie.
- Gerard, USA

The Mad Max Badges by AbbyShotThe Mad Max Badges

These hugely-popular replica badges are here to help you "Maintain Right"! Perfect metal replicas of Max's "MFP" police badges, these are a great collectible on their own, OR an excellent addition to your Mad Max Jacket order!

Customer Testimonial:
Wow they are fantastic way beyond my expectations. The shield is very nice and boy is it heavy, no cheap metal used there for sure and the pin back is very secure I had to use my pocketknife the first time to open it up. The shoulder badge is my wife's favourite . She was very impressed with the quality of the badges especially the mirror finish on the force number badge.
- Malcolm, USA

It's going to be a great summer for Mad Max fans! To quote an Australian movie you may recognize:

"You can shut the gate on this one, Maxie... it's the duck's guts!"

Customer E-mails - June Foxhound Coat Edition!

This past month, a few good Metal Gear Solid fans reported for duty! They field-tested their new Foxhound Coats, as requested by AbbyShot High Command, then they sent us the pictures to prove it (recently declassified of course!). Just click the thumbnails to see larger versions.

First up for roll call is Solidus. You may recall his memorable words from our most recent blog post featuring the first Foxhound Coat reviews:

"Thank you gentlemen, I look forward to combating the Patriots in my very own FOXHOUND coat effective immediately! Long live Outer Heaven!"

- Solidus, USA


Great photo, Solidus!

Next we have a field agent on the other side of the ocean in a little-known Kingdom that appears to be called "United". We're waiting for more intel on that one. ;)

"Hello every one at Abbyshot. Just writing to you all to say i got my Foxhound coat today. It was even better than i thought it would be.

So THANK YOU so much, I look forward to seeing/buying more of your GEAR (no pun intended) in the future.


I hope your Company continues to produce amazing clothing for a hundred years!


Loyally yours,

Shibito Snake, UK"


Good stuff!

The final photo (and review) for this month comes from the single greatest supporter of our Foxhound Coat, the one and only Snake. We were waiting with bated breath to see what he thought of HIS new coat. Luckily, we were not disappointed:

"Hey AbbyShot,

I got my coat yesterday, I love it. Three and a half years in the making, and my hard work finally pays off. It looks awesome and it fits great. Thanks so much for everything, you've been so helpful.

I want to reiterate, everything worked out perfect with it. It fits great, it's not tight at all, I can move around in it fine, and it sits on my shoulders/hangs perfect without looking like something that jumped out of the 80s. Excellent work.

I'll try to get more/better quality photos in the right environment soon enough, so keep your eyes open."


- Snake, USA


... And AbbyShot breathes a sigh of relief :)

Thanks to all the Metal Gear Solid fans who sent in pictures this month. If you don't have your own Foxhound Coat yet - you know what to do!

We love seeing customer pics, so keep them coming! If you haven't sent us a photo yet, just email it in. Hopefully we'll see you here on the blog by next month!

This is AbbyShot saying: Keep fighting the good fight.

Over and out.

Foxhound Coat: Rave Reviews Flying In!

When we release a new design here at AbbyShot, we're not 100% satisfied until we hear what you, the customers, think of it!

We sent out the very first Foxhound Coats earlier this month. Once they were received by those lucky first customers, we just HAD to check in with a friendly message. All ours worries were soon put to rest...The Metal Gear Solid Inspired Foxhound Coat is Getting Rave Reviews!

Hey, I got your message, wondering about how I liked the FOXHOUND coat...

"File your field report ASAP, soldier - over and out!"


No one tells ME what to do! Not now that I'm wearing the coat of Liquid Snake! This is such an awesome coat. I went into a Surplus store around three years ago to get a coat like this one because I wanted one but sadly there wasn't one. Only a black trench coat...


Not a problem anymore!!! The color, the shoulder-pads, the way the lapel can be open or closed and look just like Liquid's coat; it's all there. You guys and gals have LITERALLY made that dream of mine a reality!


I like how while it's a good coat, it's not built like a parka, so I won't have to wait until Winter just to try it on.


The minute after I put my coat on I found myself glancing at the top of the delivery box; "Clothing that's cooler than real life" I couldn't agree more.


A good thing for possible buyers to know is that if for any reason the shoulder pads looked strange in the pictures to them it's only because it wasn't in the field with an operative!!!


Thanks once again for this coat, I've almost kissed my computer during the review it's so good... er, I mean shot it. Like a true patriot.


- Shinigami, USA


Thank you, sir! That's what we like to hear, folks ;)

Here's another of our many great reviews from a brand new FOXHOUND member:

I'm proud to say that I'm reporting for duty in my FOXHOUND coat as we speak! It arrived today in prime condition. The quality is fantastic and it fits like a glove! The material is exceptionally comfortable and looks identical to the ones worn by FOXHOUND members Liquid, Ocelot, and Mantis in Metal Gear Solid. I'm very happy with my purchase! I'll be wearing this coat on a day to day basis for years. I'll definitely be ordering from Abbyshot again soon! Thank you gentlemen, I look forward to combating the Patriots in my very own FOXHOUND coat effective immediately! Long live Outer Heaven!

Thanks again,


Solidus, USA


Long live Outer Heaven indeed! Thanks so much to all the Metal Gear Solid fans that have written so far - keep your reviews coming! And if you haven't signed up for your Foxhound Coat yet - what are you waiting for? :)

One final note: We need pictures of the Foxhound Coat "in the field"! Who's up to the challenge?
