Well this has certainly been a long time in the works without an update. The 3A Metal Gear Rex, that giant upcoming statue of one of the best looking giant mechs in all of gaming (do a search of Metal Gear Rex on the site to find previous pictures) has FINALLY gotten an update. So [...]

I’m not sure if you’d consider these “bootlegs” or customs but regardless, these are looking great and I know some of you guys will be interested. Especially since Hot Toys (as far as I know) doesn’t have the Peace Walker licence specifically. Best of all, the BDU version includes the CROC CAP! One of the [...]

Today I’ll be taking a look at a 12″ figure of one of my favourite videogame characters in the goofiest outfit he’s ever had, Medicom’s Naked Snake, Cold War version! Quick history : Medicom released “serious” figures in this line and they shot up in value, I’m talking $300-$500. Then they re-released them years later [...]

Hot Toys is wishing everyone a Merry Christmas (especially me) by announcing that they’ve acquired the licence for Metal Gear Solid! No surprise, but they have Thor and Captain America as well. Outside of those two licences, you can expect to see Captain Harlock and Sucker Punch figures! Some great new images of their upcoming [...]

The Square Enix Play Arts Kai line has been coming along nicely with another sneak peek recently at a major character. Here’s the vehicle boss of Peace Walker, Cocoon. Up for order at most import shops and BBTS for just under $200. It’s QUITE large so I’d certainly say it’s worth the money.
Uniqlo is releasing a line of Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker shirts to go along with the upcoming game. Their previous line of shirts went over well, since obviously I missed out on getting the one I wanted. They’re designer shirts, so they’re overpriced and might not be your style, but I’ll be sporting [...]

These should be available around the same time as Snake, for a very similar price (around $10 more). They seem rather nicely detailed and are supposed to be the Metal Gear mechs within the game.

Seeing more shots of this makes me even more excited for it. Looks like it has some fantastic articulation and some nice accessories.

I’m surprised Medicom and Square Enix both have a licence to make Metal Gear figures but hey, whatever results in better toys is fine by me. They also seem to be making little miniatures of the Metal Gear vehicles.

It’s not much, but since this is one of my most anticipated collectibles coming this year, even though it’ll probably be a grand, I figured it’d be worth posting whatever info gets revealed. This is direct from Ashley Wood on the 3a boards. “rex has many small part, as he is fully articulated. Infact i [...]
