Video games have produced numerous iconic mecha designs over the years, but none quite compare to the enduring legacy of Metal Gear Solid’s Metal Gear Rex. For fans hoping to add this legendary machine to their collection without breaking the bank, Megahouse is set to release a collectible figure priced at $170, available for preorder now and slated to launch in November 2025.
The Metal Gear Solid Variable Action D-SPEC Metal Gear Rex figure boasts impressive articulation and intricate details, including the signature shoulder-mounted railgun and radar dome. This collectible also features a cockpit that can house two included minifigures of Solid Snake and Liquid Snake, perfect for recreating their epic sibling showdown. The Solid Snake figure includes a detachable arm designed to hold his MK 23 SOCOM sidearm.
Additionally, collectors can look forward to a new Figma action figure of Solid Snake, inspired by his appearance in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Priced at $87, this highly posable figure is expected to ship in January 2026, complete with accessories like the SOCOM pistol and a cardboard box disguise.
For those seeking a more whimsical take on the series, Good Smile Company is reissuing its Nendoroid figures of Raiden and Solid Snake, transforming these gritty characters into charming chibi versions. The Solid Snake Nendoroid features dual head sculpts—one with a dynamic bandana and another mimicking his original 1998 character model.
Tabletop enthusiasts can also delve into the Metal Gear Solid universe through the official board game, inspired by the original PlayStation title. Designed for up to four players, this game includes a 14-mission campaign, six shorter VR Missions, and 24 detailed character pieces.
As anticipation builds, fans of the series are also excited about the upcoming Death Stranding 2, releasing later this year. New collectible figures based on this sequel are on the way, including a model kit of the DHV Magellan vehicle, which bears a striking resemblance to Metal Gear Rex.
Looking ahead, the highly anticipated remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, titled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, is set to launch on August 26 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with preorder bonuses available now, including early access to the White Tuxedo camo outfit.
In addition, the next installment of Hideo Kojima’s innovative saga, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is scheduled for release on June 26, with preorders beginning on March 17. Various editions will be available, each coming with their own preorder bonuses.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates and collectibles in the world of Metal Gear Solid!
