    PRODUCT DETAILS


    Metal Gear Solid is a stealth action game directed by Hideo Kojima. The game was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and first published by Konami in 1998 for the PlayStation. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most important games of all time, and is heralded as the game that made the stealth genre popular. It is the third canonical title released in the Metal Gear series, being a direct sequel to Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. REX was the ultimate Metal Gear, as it was not only capable of delivering a nuclear weapon both to and from any point on the globe, it could do so "undetectably" and "untraceably." All previous Metal Gears were merely mobile ground-based launch systems for nuclear missiles, little more than the land-based equivalent of ballistic missile submarines. REX utilized a rail gun, which fired much smaller projectiles without chemical propellants and contained stealth technology – factors which made them virtually invisible to radar. It thus fatally undermined the 'no first strike' principle of Mutually Assured Destruction – whoever controlled it could launch a nuclear attack at any target at any time, with no warning before impact. In addition, its missiles also have enough power to destroy underground bunkers, a lesson that was learned from the Gulf War. 1st Issued Date: 03/26/2020

    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

      Not bad.

      Not up to the same level of engineering and quality as Gundam models, but still a pretty good-looking kit once assembled. Definitely needs some paint, though.

      Excellent kit

      The kit comes with its own stand, and looks great with minimum effort.

      If you want to make it photo/game accurate, the winter camo pattern is going to take some time & patience.

      My railgun had a slight bend in it, squeezing it together, so I had to do the hot water fix for it, too, but I doubt it's a problem for every kit, but something to watch out for.

      What a beautiful model

      If you're looking to buy this, you've probably already checked out some of the YouTube unboxing videos. The real deal is just as good as you see. It's a very pretty and shiny box, the manual includes sketch art in it, the instructions are fairly clear for a Gunpla/model hobbyist, and the camo paint guide is helpful for showing off all the model's angles.

      The joint quality is excellent (nothing feels too loose for posing), of course the design is great, and the value is outstanding. GundamPlanet got me the model for considerably cheaper than I've seen elsewhere.
