Kojima Productions and Japanese toymaker Medicom are teaming up to create the ultimate Solid Snake action figure. The super-detailed figure captures the look of the world's most physically fit geriatric down to the hair on his moustache, and stands a full 12 inches tall, effectively unleashing a torrent of juvenile 12 inch Snake jokes that the gaming community may never recover from.

The figure utilizes Medicom's RAH 301 technology, which uses a super-articulated underbody that you can put clothes or a skin over, allowing for a lifelike look while maintaining poseability. What that basically means is that the figure will be awesome, and most likely relatively expensive as far as action figures go. The figure should begin shipping in November. Michael Fahey
