Couple days ago, we featured a really cool LEGO version of Metal Gear REX from the Metal Gear Solid video game series. Well, many of you seem to be a big fan of the mechanical beast and it is great news that a collectible statue will be available soon for you MSG fans.
Kojima Productions has teamed up with Three-A Toys to create a monster of a collectible. If you are not familiar of 3A Toys, 3A is the brain child of Kim Fung Wong, ThreeZero and the infamous Ashley Wood. They have been designing and producing high-end designer military and art figures for couple years now.
Originally spotted on 3A’s forum, the Metal Gear REX statue is estimated to be over one foot tall (based on the pictures). The height is only speculation as a lot of prototype toys are made larger than the actual production item. Like most 3A’s collectibles, it is most likely that MGRex will be made with PVC, ABS, and other light materials. It may cost you an arm and a leg as 3A collectible fanatics are estimating that the REX may cost around 400 dollars. Even at that price point, how can you not resist a Metal Gear REX statue graced by Ashley Wood and Hideo Kojima? I’m sold.
Hit the jump to see REX up close.
I saw this yesterday and decided that I MUST have it… unless I build the LEGO one.
