Cool Collectibles: MGS4 Solid Snake and Raiden

Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is not even out yet and Medicom Toy Corporation already made 12 inch tall, fully articulated collectible figures of two of the main characters, Solid Snake and Raiden. They should be released in the second quarter of 2008 for about $175.



This Solid Snake figure can kick all your other figures’ asses with both hands tied behind his back and they won’t even know he was there. He comes with a rifle and a handgun, but no word yet on stealth camouflage.




The Raiden from MGS4 looks 50% less gay than the one from MGS2, and 100% creepier. His face shield protector can be pulled up or down and he comes with a bunch of swords.

I'm happy to see you posted these. These kick serious ass. Raiden's...high heels are...silly though.

Medicom's other upcoming MGS figures are great, too: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp?theme=Metal+Gear+Solid

Well, you know Raiden's sexuality has been questioned in both MGS2 and MGS3. The President grabbed his crotch to make sure he was a man and his Russian spiritual self, Major Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov, was Volgin's gay lover. Now he's got high heels. That's just... odd.

Yeah, I like the other Metal Gear Solid figures too but these two are my favorite.

Ecchhh....Raiden had a girlfriend. the only reason people 'questioned his sexuality' is because, well, they hate him, and he's a 'bishie'. Although, not all 'bishies' are gay, so....I don't know. People are dumb. I don't like him either, but I have more legitimate criticisms for him, instead of 'omg hez gay!!11L' ¬ ¬

I don't take the Raidenovitch bit seriously. It was obviously just meant to all be a big joke against Raiden. :P

Those heels are going to make him fall down a lot, I would think...

Those aren't high heels, those are Raiden's feet. He's a cyborg now lol. All that's left of him is his head and spine. Everything else is cybernetic.
