Konami And Square Enix Are Releasing The Hottest Metal Gear Solid V Figure Yet
Play Arts Kai has released a gallery of images of the company's latest figurine based on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The Burning Man is a grim-looking person who lives up to his name.
If you're fuzzy on the character, don't fret. He might not have the instant name recognition of a Big Boss, but he's sure to leave an impression on players. You may have spied him in a quick appearance in one of the game's first trailers. Here's a shot of him emerging from a wall of flames in a burning hospital.
This shot gives a clearer picture of what Mr. Man looks like when he's not obscured in fire. Notice all of the ammo that peppers his uniform, as well as the melted armor plating marred by scorch marks.
The figure comes with alternate hands, chest armor, and various fiery bits that you can attach to him. He also comes with a stand, so you don't have to rely on your positioning and balancing skills to make him look cool on your desk. The Burning Man figure is coming out in September, and it'll set you back ¥14,800 (about $122.25).
This isn't the first figure based on the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, either. The companies collaborated on a pair of Big Boss figures, too.
