Japanese manufacturer Kaiyodo has announced a new line of action figures from the Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater series. The characters Naked Snake The Boss and Ocelot have been confirmed as part of the Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi collection. The figures were revealed months before the official release of the remake developed by Konami. The figures feature unique articulation and details inspired by the aesthetics of the original 2004 game. However, a pre-order date has not yet been set.
The figures were presented in posts on the manufacturer's social media throughout the last week. Each day a new character was revealed, generating anticipation among fans of the franchise. Kaiyodo's move demonstrates the collectibles industry's investment in classic video game franchises. The company had previously released similar products inspired by titles such as Ninja Gaiden and Godzilla.
