That ever-growing pile of video game statues just keeps getting bigger.
First4Figures will be releasing a Big Boss statue based on Metal Gear Solid 3 and a Metroid Prime Samus Gravity Suit statue.
The Big Boss statue is “inspired by the moving ending of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, where Big Boss salutes The Boss’ grave as a final tribute to his mentor.” This, First4Figures says, symbolises Big Boss’ “unwavering respect and the complex emotions he feels after a mission filled with betrayal and sacrifice.”
The figure stands 21.6″ tall thanks to its base, so you get a few extra inches of Snake than Poison (for those keeping track). If you're interested in adding this character to your collection, you can pre-order him now, with Pre-orders starting at $479.99 At the time of writing, the statue is estimated to be released in the third quarter of next year.
Another statue currently available to pre-order from First4Figures is the Metroid Prime Samus Gravity Suit Statue, which stands 10″ tall.
“The Gravity Suit is an upgrade of the Power Suit featured in many iterations of the Metroid series. For this PVC statue, the team at First4Figures faithfully recreated the Gravity Suit with its sleek design and iconic components. The base of the statue is a version of the Screw Attack emblem, which has since become the logo of the Metroid series itself,” the statue's description reads. It also comes with LED lighting that will help bring “Samus to life” when on display.
This statue is available for pre-order now, and those who place their orders before September 9 will get a discount thanks to a Early Bird Offer First4Figures is currently promotingThis Samus Gravity Suit statue is scheduled to be released during the fourth quarter of this year.
The company is also offering two freebies, if you want to try your luck, for both of you. Snake and Samus.
For more on Metal Gear Solid, Digital Foundry's Tom Morgan recently tried out Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on PS5. He called it “a doggedly faithful remake” of what he's played so far, but noted that “the new controls have new implications.”
