Japanese figure manufacturer Kaiyodo has announced the exciting decision to produce action figures of both “The Boss” and “Naked Snake” from the highly anticipated game METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER.
These iconic characters will join Kaiyodo’s acclaimed Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi action figure series, known for its dynamic articulation and detailed sculpting.
The Amazing Yamaguchi line has also recently welcomed two other gaming figures into its ranks, in the form of Ryu Hayabusa and Kasumi from the Ninja Gaiden series.
METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER is the upcoming remake of the classic Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, a pivotal title in Hideo Kojima’s legendary stealth-action franchise.
The original game is celebrated for its compelling story, which delves into the origins of Big Boss and the complex relationship with his mentor, The Boss, set against the backdrop of the Cold War. The announcement of these figures is sure to excite fans eagerly awaiting the remake.
The Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi line, under the creative direction of sculptor Katsuhisa Yamaguchi, is particularly famous for its wide range of articulation which allows for extremely expressive and dynamic poses, capturing the essence of characters in action.
This makes it an ideal series to bring the intense combat and dramatic moments of Metal Gear Solid to life in collectible form.
Following an initial announcement that revealed the upcoming “Naked Snake” action figure, Kaiyodo further confirmed the productization of “The Boss” via their official X.
This means fans will soon have the chance to collect both the protagonist and his legendary mentor, a duo central to the game’s emotional core.
While the figures’ release dates and prices remain unconfirmed, the inclusion of the figures as part of the Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi line suggests a focus on capturing their intricate designs and allowing for a wide range of combat poses.
The Amazing Yamaguchi series’ reputation for detailed sculpting will undoubtedly bring out the unique tactical gear and veteran appearance of “Naked Snake”, as well as the formidable and iconic presence of “The Boss”.
More specific details regarding sculpts, accessories, and release timelines are expected to be unveiled shortly.
The announcement of these highly articulated figures from METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER is an exciting development for both Metal Gear collectors and action figure enthusiasts.
