The interchangeable parts allow fans to recreate a variety of poses, whether displaying Kojima deep in thought, greeting fans with a smile or sporting his iconic sunglasses.

The figure continues Good Smile Company’s tradition of celebrating influential real world personalities alongside popular anime and gaming characters, offering fans a collectible tribute to one of the people who has helped shape modern video games.
