There’s no denying that Metal Gear Solid 5 features a sniper with a taste in clothing that’s skimpier than a bachelor party mankini being forced on the groom-to-be. But that’s a debate that’s already, and will continue to be, covered. Quiet has quite the number of fans already. Fans who love her design. Fans who’ll most likely buy any piece of merchandising related to Quiet. Including this action figure, with generous proportions and materials.
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain’s missing in action game director Hideo Kojima tweeted the following pictures out of the upcoming Play Arts Kai action figure, which features…ahem…man-magnets. In the absence of a real girlfriend, I’m pretty excited about this. I’ve even started shaving one leg so it feels like there is a girl lying next to me in bed when I cry myself to sleep every night:
PlayArtsKAI’s Quiet is coming soon. Yoji, a supervisor says some soft materials enables to be pushed & lifted. lol pic.twitter.com/LtvO0g8PpL”

The thing is, the action figure itself is actually a pretty damn awesome, and a great example of translating a video game character from screen to real life:
Just for the sake of actual craftsmanship, I’d add Quiet to my collection. And it won’t be long before action figure customisers get their hands on the figure, and make this particular variant of Quiet:
That, and she still happens to have more realistic proportions than a Barbie/Bratz doll, even with the skimpy outfit. Consider me to be Metal Gear Sold.

Pushed and lifted? Same way Kojima was just pushed and lifted straight out of Konami?….Too soon?

Slightly different. I think Kojima was wearing more clothes.

Weren’t you the …MASTER of that DEBATE?

I am always the Master Debator when it comes to women in skimpy outfits.

It was more like a mass debate between a lot of people….

It gets really messy due to the large amount of inputs from all the mass debaters

What will they think of next?
Blood Emperor Trevor
May 12, 2015 at 11:12
Probably to make it life size.

This action figure will never sell
Hammersteyn
May 12, 2015 at 11:12
It will sell like white rice in Japan
Lord Chaos
May 12, 2015 at 11:12
Should sell more than Silent Hills.
*Too soon?

Did you refresh for what I posted?

I got my pre-order in already…

May 12, 2015 at 11:15
I’m shocked.
Dutch Matrix
May 12, 2015 at 11:15
Why?
Lord Chaos
May 12, 2015 at 11:16
/sarcasm
I should really get a sarcasm flag
Dutch Matrix
May 12, 2015 at 11:18
Oh no. A sarcasm flag will make me get your meaning. Why communicate effectively when we can fight over a misunderstanding? 🙂
Hammersteyn
May 12, 2015 at 11:15
Because he only ordered one?
Blood Emperor Trevor
May 12, 2015 at 11:15
That’s what she said.
Admiral Chief
May 12, 2015 at 11:15
Did you refresh for the pic?
Hammersteyn
May 12, 2015 at 11:16
No one did because you didn’t say (refresh)
Admiral Chief
May 12, 2015 at 11:16
Oh man, the comments are just so funny now!
Hammersteyn
May 12, 2015 at 11:18
I still say it will sell like white rice
Dutch Matrix
May 12, 2015 at 11:17
Yes you daft Admiral! Next time say Refresh for pic. I cannot smell these things, you know??!!
Admiral Chief
May 12, 2015 at 11:18
Hehehe, the pre-order comment is so funny now

Lord Chaos
May 12, 2015 at 11:19
I actually think Dutch will still pre-order it
Admiral Chief
May 12, 2015 at 11:22
I think you are correct. We should get a 3d printer, at least we can sell one (or maybe I can colour the mankini and he will buy the whole rainbow set)
Dutch Matrix
May 12, 2015 at 11:23
Sweet Lords Above NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! MY EYES! MY EYES!

So did you cancel your preorder? 😛
Dutch Matrix
May 12, 2015 at 11:34
Oh no. I will put it somewhere prominent about the house. It’s comforting to know that no matter how bad life gets, there isn’t a photo of you looking ever so happy in a Mankini floating about the Internet

So you want one too? I’ll have to check with Dutch, he is practically throwing money at me for the set
Hammersteyn

There’s a set. I don’t believe you!

So, a blue/red/yellow/purple one rather?
Hammersteyn
May 12, 2015 at 11:13
It even comes with a JJ themed replacement head.

Can’t wait to see men cosplaying as Quiet at conventions. This may be the new Man-Faye.
