Our Take
It’s a strange time when I look at a Collector’s Edition with physical items and say, “Ya know, $100 is a reasonable price.” Maybe it’s just the die-hard Metal Gear fan in me, but I’m pretty excited for this Collector’s Edition. I think having a tiny robot hand might offer all sorts of comedic opportunities.
