If you're making the journey to the New York Comic Con, which runs April 18 to 20 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, you may want to bring a bit more walkin' around money, especially if you're into Metal Gear. The Con will feature a massive number of exclusives, from bobble-headed Obi-Wan Kenobi to a Kingdom Hearts Trading Card Game Daisy Duck promo card(!), but it's the 20th Anniversary Metal GearRaiden exclusive that may find a way into your display case.
The Medicom-created action figure is of the dreaded "stealth camo" variety and limited to 1400 pieces. Can't imagine it will be too hard to get your hands on one if you don't go to the show, as I have quite a few... wait, that may be too embarrassing to print. Let's just say some people who didn't go to Comic Cons past found a way to get glow in the dark EVA figures.

These clear-plastic figures looks nasty. Remember the crappy Active Camo Halo toys?
But...it's Raiden. And I don't mean the pointy hat "Big Trouble in Little China" high-voltage Raiden, I mean the long haired-whiny-makes-Luke-Skywalker-look-like-a-20-year-old-with-some-stank -on-his-hang-low version.
Yuck. I always hate the see-through ones.
They just look so cheap.
"stealth camo" right, hah, stealth camo is green, this is just artfully avoiding having to paint a figure while still make money.
Solid snake confirm for San Diego comi-con 2008. : )
@xanavi: What about desert camo?
kewl, i wouldnt mind getting one off ebay
@TheNocturnalSun:
I wouldn't mind selling one on ebay :)
BOBBLE-HEAD OBI-WAN!
Holy shit, admission is 30.00. F dat
Ohh its MGS2 Raiden....move along people nothing to see here
@ShaggE: its stealth camo as in the stealth camo item from MGS2, you equip it and you become invisible but there is a green tinge to let you know where your character is.
+ Watch video
so they save some cash on paint, and jump the price up.... hmm... i like it,! i have some limited edition "stealth camo" drawings of Raiden i just made if anyone is interested. you can't really see him on the white paper, or at all for that matter, but trust me, he is there. Only 200 bucks to the next 10 customers!
@xanavi: Ah, I thought you were talking about real camo. I haven't played an MGS game in quite awhile, heh.
I hate it when any kind of toy gets the transparent treatment. Those are always the ones that go unsold.
Hey, I can't see him. That's the way he belongs.
@Erwin:
I like the way you think and would like to subscribe to your publication. :)
Does it have scrotum crushing action?
I was thinking of going to the con. Maybe I will go.
How much is the figure supposed to cost?
@Erwin: You win!
*confetti drowns you*
I still really want to go to the Comic Convention.
I can't believe that I might go to the con because of this fugly figure.
Anyone remember "The Ghost of Obi-Wan" giveaway
from Frito Lay?
They could at least have left his hair colored like in the game. I actually have the non-camo version of that, along with 3 of the other 4 Snake figures in the set. They're awesome, but don't stand worth the shit.
wow. i suppose i should make a comment now about how feminine or how whiney raiden was, because that seems to be the en vogue thing to do these days (and for the last 7 fucking years).
we didn't get to play as solid snake through the plant chapter. whatever. the game was still great. get the fuck over yourselves, people.
i've been meaning to play through MGS2 again, i'll have to get on that before June. I didn't hate Raiden =)
The reason he's in stealth camo is to trick buyers who don't look closely into thinking it's the MGS4 Raiden (awesome), not the MGS2 Raiden (lame)! You can't fool me!
Regardless of how awesome the MGS2 Plant Chapter ended up being, no one can deny they were disappointed they didn't get to play as Snake, thus the complaining for the last 7 years.
I still have all my McFarlane or whatever Metal Gear Solid action figures new in box. Once a year or so I look at Psycho Mantis and want to open the package, are they even worth the $7 a piece I paid for them?
A clear Raiden? Really? Were they TRYING to make the shittiest MGS figure possible or was it an accident?
@Pornosaur:
If you have the whole set, including the 3 Stealth variants, you can fetch a pretty high price for the whole thing.
Damn, I want this Raiden figure, especially since I already have the rest of the set it belongs to. Damn comic-cons. -_-
RAIDENN!!!
hopefully i'll get one next week at con. and that clear Venom bust. mmmMmm..
Hmmm... looks pretty shabby to me. I'll wait for the stiletto wearing MGS4 version ~
seriously people. if you are hating on Raiden for his wussiness.... is that word? then please just wait for MGS4. hes going to show you why he deserves respect.
They're are alot of better MGS figures of Raiden, a "camo" version doesn't appeal to me.
MGS2 Raiden?
And he's not naked?
Waste of time...
