Short Comment- Metal Gear Solid 2 KUBRICKs
In midst of the Metal Gear Solid 2 heat, Medicom Toy will be releasing a MGS2 version of their figures. There are 6 MGS2 trading figure Kubricks in all, each sold randomly for 480 Yen. The lineup: Solid Snake, Orga, Otakon, Revolver Ocelot, SoldierA(woodland camoflauge) and SoldierB(Tiger stripe camoflauge). There's also said to be secrets- my personal guesses are hidden figures. The figures seem detailed- Snake has his M9, snd Otakon even has his laptop. For more images and details, check Medicom Toy's site. [ Medicom Toy ]

These Kubrick figures are a bit larger than Lego figures. Lots of game/anime characters are released as Kubricks, like Evangelion, Capcom's Morrigan & Chunli(images are in Capcom's diary somewhere) and even the Blair Witch Project. -H.Moriarty
