3A Toys Metal Gear Rex

... as much as I'd love to keep this under my hat in the off chance that this ends up being a limited release and I want to cut down on the number of people who might know about it, it's ludicrous to think that SOMEBODY isn't going to mention this eventually, so here goes.

Do you like high quality toys? How about Metal Gear Solid? Have you, like me, had a perpetual wet dream since roughly 1998 wishing that someone would make a Metal Gear Rex toy?

Ashley Wood (god bless that man) and Kojima have your back -











No word yet on release date, price, or if it'll be sold through Sideshow or just through 3A's online store as of yet.

From comparison shots the size will be somewhere around 15-17" tall, like the 3A World War Robot figures it'll likely be made from a combination of PVC, Cast Resin and ABS plastic, and the price will likely be in the range of $300-400.

I'm just trying to spread the love

Ironically, I was already working on the FP for this based on a report from Gogdog.

I've only seen quotes of $200 for Rex so far. Would there be any indication it's going to reach $400? I realize that 3A is on the expensive side, but still.

Well, the original Berties were $300, and they weren't as big as this, plus being a licensed product there's always a % increase due to royalty requirements. There's nothing that says it'll be $300+ other than my own intuition on the subject and familiarity with their past releases.

3A doesn't do cheap stuff, that's for sure. If this is in the $200 range I'll eat my hat.*

That's insane! I'm on board, depending on how big it is. I'd like some scale MGS figures to go with it!

This is too cool. Might be blasphemy, but I like Ray better. Let's get a Ray to go alongside this!!

That IS blasphemy

I'm still waiting for the Arsenal Gear

scarecrow

... at 1/6 scale, amirite?

QuinJester

Of course. Actually, I had to take a moment and think about how big that would be. Did any of you ever see those Haloclix figures, and the Scarab? That thing was big as hell. Arsenal Gear would make that look like a shrimp even in that scale.

A 1/6 Arsenal would still be bigger than most bedrooms.

GogDog

Which is why I was thinking about it in terms of miniatures...even then it would be the size of half of one. Crazy stuff. Can't wait till some pioneering Japanese person does it!

.... only a little...
