Quiet from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a deadly sniper in skimpy clothes. There’s apparently a reason for the character’s sexy outfit. Ditto for this figure.
The reason for the figure is, of course, that lots of fans will buy this figure. Make of that what you will!
Today, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima tweeted photos of the upcoming Quiet from the Play Arts Kai line. Kojima wrote, “Yoji, a supervisor says some soft materials enables to be pushed & lifted. lol”
Here is said figure:

Oh.
If you’re a figure collector, you know that this sort of thing isn’t new. And if you are a Hideo Kojima fan, you also know that this sort of thing isn’t new.
