Kojima shows ‘photo realistic’ Raiden figure by Hot Toys

A new Metal Gear figure has been announced by Hot Toys, and Kojima shared some photos on Twitter. The company made a Naked Snake and The Boss figure before, and this time it’s Raiden from Metal Gear Rising who gets the realistic treatment. And it certainly looks impressive.

That is probably the coolest " Action Figure" ( don't hate me lol), I've ever seen.

It's at least the most realistic, and looks like it would cost a lot.

Really good attention to detail.

Derekvinyard133685d ago

Hot toys are the most detailed figures on the planet, thing is that comes at a price. Some ranging from $1000 and up

Soldierone3685d ago

I dont know why you got a disagree. Hot Toys are right up there with detail and the price is worth it if you are that type of collector.

Plus even if you can afford it, its somewhat hard to find older series. New ones are only sold at two different place if I'm not mistaken.

Amplitude3685d ago

if it's that expensive i'd expect the hair to look a little better than that

Why would anyone want to buy something based on the worst character in the Metal Gear universe?

Have you been lurking on N4G, waiting for the next Metal Gear Rising article just to say something negative on it? Get a life, kid.

That said the level of detail on that figurine is incredible.

urwifeminder3685d ago

I know right where he can put it.

MWH3685d ago

the level of detail is astonishing, but I'm not a fan of this character at all, he was forced on us in a cheap way too.

WonderboyIII3683d ago

His feminine side is disturbing. The Japanese love this sick mix of sexes. Look at their games it is full of characters with identity/sexuality issues. Does a super cyborg need high heels to make his running and jumping more tedious? no it is there to keep you guessing whether he has a pu$$y or a d1ck.

MWH3683d ago

lol, well expressed and I agree totally.

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion324d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken323d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501323d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken322d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992323d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion323d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic324d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne324d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B324d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
