Square Enix and Metal Gear Solid — I guess it was only a matter of time until the two giants met in some way. Thankfully, rather than some video game abomination, their union comes in the form of an impressive action figure inspired by the upcoming PSP title, Peace Walker.
The figure of Snake/Big Boss features similar joint construction seen in the Play-Arts line of Final Fantasy XIII figures, but there is less flesh coloring, so it looks more natural. A number of fabric accents on the outfit also serve to give another dimension to Snake’s sneaking suit. Judging by the photos of the figure, it appears to include both a shield and a silenced pistol.
The figures should be available late June or July depending on what site you’re looking at. Both AmiAmi and KidNemo have the figures available for pre-order. AmiAmi of course has the more competative price (~$40 USD), but more expensive shipping. I mainly mention them on the off chance anyone plans to buy other figures from them, in which case group shipping may be the most cost-effective option. KidNemo has the figure for a bit more ($54.99 USD), but their shipping is much more reasonable within the states.
Personally, I think this is the most impressive Metal Gear figure to date, with not much in the way of competition. If you’re a fan, you should probably sell off all the lame Snake figures you have and upgrade.
