Description
[Product Introduction] Hot Toys' "Video Game Masterpiece" series welcomes its third installment from the "Metal Gear" series, which continues to lead the gaming industry! From "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance," a title that pursues the exhilarating feeling of action in a way unique to the series, the popular character Raiden finally makes his appearance! Raiden, who has mastered swordsmanship on his own, is a cyborg equipped with a high-frequency blade that can cut not only cyborg soldiers but also giant unmanned weapons in two, and he proclaims his "life-saving sword" of killing many. In his childhood, he displayed genius-level combat abilities as a child soldier during the Liberian Civil War. After the war, he was targeted by the "Patriots," who secretly manipulated American society, and was turned into a cyborg. However, after the destruction of the "Patriots," he joined the private military security company "Maverick Security Consulting" to support his wife and children. He was on guard duty for the prime minister in a newly emerging country that had recovered from civil war and achieved reconstruction. Standing approximately 32 centimeters tall and featuring over 30 points of articulation, this figure beautifully captures the captivating presence of Raiden, the cyborg swordsman who wields his sword to save the weak. The head sculpt, with its flowing silver hair and piercing gaze, is meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail not visible in the game. Each piece is hand-painted to recreate details such as the paint on his forehead and wrinkles. Two types of visor parts are included, allowing you to recreate the visor's on and off states. The heavy, metallic black armor is painted with a glossy finish to recreate the texture of metal. The prosthetic body, with its visible muscle bands beneath the armor, is exquisitely crafted down to the smallest detail, aiming to balance proportions with articulation. Weapons included are a high-frequency blade for slicing through enemies, a knife, and the assault rifle used by Raiden in the "Jamais Vu Mission" from the new game "Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes." The sheath that houses the high-frequency blade can be carried on the back via an arm extending from the left hip. Combined with the various interchangeable hand parts, you can recreate the diverse action scenes Raiden displayed during gameplay. Raiden is popular not only for his good looks but also as an indispensable character in the series. This item, which maximizes his appeal, can be considered the finest Raiden item available. Keep an eye out for future releases from Hot Toys' beloved Metal Gear series! *A bonus accessory version of this product will also be released.

[Work Introduction]
"Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" is an action game released by KONAMI in 2013. The protagonist is Raiden, one of the most popular characters in the series. KONAMI's Kojima Productions handled the scenario and setting supervision, while development was handled by PlatinumGames, which has worked on numerous action games. While adhering to the unique worldview of the Metal Gear series, it is a new Metal Gear unlike any other, pursuing the "exhilaration" of action. Four years have passed since the "Guns of the Patriots" incident, which involved private military companies (PMCs) around the world. Raiden, now a cyborg, is working for the private military security company (PMSC) "Maverick Security Consulting" on security duties. One day, in a country that was supposed to have recovered, he is attacked by numerous cyborgs from the US PMC "Desperado Enforcement," and the prime minister he is guarding is killed. Moreover, he is defeated by the enemy's bodyguard Sam and loses his left eye and left arm. Having received information that they have occupied the capital of Abkhazia, Boris, the head of Maverick, is awarded the job by the Abkhazia government to recapture the capital. Rebooted as a new cyborg, Raiden sets out for a rematch.
