Konami has been very active with their past popular IPs which probably had to do with the shift of their management and MGS being the golden child of Konami is no exception. Apart from MGS3 remakes, MGS fans got another pleasant treatment by Konami in the form of Diecast Toy for Metal Gear Rex with the help of Tamashi Nation. Scheduled for February 2025, Chogokin Metal Gear Rex will be sold for 33000 Yen Price tag.
From the available product information, this Tamashii Nation version of Metal Gear Rex is essentially the diecast version of Kotobukiya Metal Gear Rex model kit. Three to four times the price of MGS Model Kit might justify if the product have quality diecast parts. But for those interested, Chogokin Metal Gear Rex is not actually the most expensive version of the iconic mecha from legendary series by Hideo Kojima. Around a decade ago, there was a Hongkong manufacturer called ThreeA that made a 500 USD version of Metal Gear Rex that stood 19 inches. This one probably still doesnt match up to that version but decent upper mid-end collectible.
I am quite sure Metal Gear Ray will likely getting the same treatment if Konami's objective remain consistent considering they are still making money from the nostalgia with MGS1 remake is not far from impossible.
