Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at this product that went up for preorder today!

Nendoroid Venom Snake: Sneaking Suit Ver.!★

From the latest hit addition to the METAL GEAR series, ‘METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN’ comes a Nendoroid of Venom Snake! The Nendoroid is fully articulated allowing for all sorts of different action poses from the game – even the little ponytail on his back is fitted with a joint! Optional parts include both his hand gun and assault rifle with their new designs, as well as three myoelectric arm prosthetics used in the game – the bionic arm, stun arm and blast arm are all included for all sorts of options! He also comes with his ‘Phantom Cigar’, a Nendoroid cardboard box and the iDROID displaying a map hologram for Snake to see where to head next! A Fulton balloon is also included allowing you to ‘recover’ other Nendoroids – Solid Snake, Raiden or any other Nendoroid! Bring out the METAL GEAR universe with Venom Snake and all sorts of optional parts!

“Kept you waiting, huh?”

I’m sure there are many of you who are still enjoying the recently released METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN! Now you can add the Diamond Dogs leader and main character of the latest game to your collection in adorable Nendoroid size!

Some of you may have recognised the first photo as a parody to the main visual for THE PHANTOM PAIN! ★

Even as a Nendoroid, Venom Snake’s cool and composed air is kept beautifully! Compared to the previously released Nendoroid Solid Snake he has a more rugged, worn appearance of a solider that has seen many battles!!



△ Released in January 2015

The sculpting of the body is also very different, with much more hardened looking abs and thighs!

Like the previous Solid Snake Nendoroid, he is fitted with a special turning joint between the upper and lower body parts allowing for all sorts of epic poses!

Also note that he holds the Phantom Cigar in his right hand… while his left hand instead looks to be a Bionic Arm! The arm not only has the joint at the shoulder, but also a joint at the wrist to make it easy to create different nuances with the bionic arm! He also comes with the Stun Arm…



△ Note the danger mark! This arm incapacitates targets with electricity!

But that’s not all! He also comes with a third bionic arm – the Blast Arm! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ With a glossy finish to give that mechanical appearance!

Various different arms for various different situations!

Pick the one that best suits your mission! ♪

But that’s not all! He also comes with…

The iDROID & Map Hologram Parts!

This useful hand-sized device is needed on any mission, and looks best when displayed in a kneeling pose like this!!

△ A special left leg part is included to pose him kneeling!

Next up we have an Assault Rifle!

Just like the Solid Snake Nendoroid, Venom Snake can also be posed prone! This allows for some lovely sneaky poses! But perhaps when doing sneaky stuff he should rather be equipped with his handgun!★

He looks so good from the back too! It’s not often we have even an official shot of the back of Nendoroids on the GSC site, but Venom Snake looks too good to ignore!

Even the muscles in his back and the back of his knees have been carefully sculpted! ♪

The little ponytail on his back even includes a little ball joint to add different nuances to your poses!! Also take note of the details on the belt and pouches around his waist!! You can even see there is one part with a string hanging out, which can only be a Fulton!! On that note…

A Fulton balloon is also included!!

△ Time to recover Dayo-san.

The balloon attaches in between a normal Nendoroid stand and the Nendoroid itself, which means you can use it with most Nendoroids!

△ This should make for lots of fun opportunities!

Plus, Venom Snake also comes with a Nendoroid-sized Cardboard Box!

The size will be the same as the one included with Nendoroid Solid Snake!

△ This is an example with Nendoroid Solid Snake! The box size will be the same!

Finally I want to highlight his hairstyle!! His rough looking swept back hairstyle has really been captured so perfectly in Nendoroid form!!

The sculpt has been separated in a special way to keep the flow of the hair! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

The fragment in his head and the eye-patch are also carefully sculpted, and even have a bit of a texture to them to enjoy! Enjoy the Metal Gear Series in both game and figure form! ★
