Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - Venom Snake - Play Arts Kai (Square Enix)Venom Snake · Square Enix

Square Enix's Play Arts Kai line presents Venom Snake from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, capturing the protagonist of Hideo Kojima's final entry in the Metal Gear saga. This highly detailed action figure stands approximately 380mm tall and is crafted from ABS and PVC. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain follows Venom Snake, a mercenary leader who awakens from a nine-year coma to rebuild his private military force, the Diamond Dogs. Set in 1984 during the Soviet-Afghan War, the game explores themes of identity, revenge, and the cycle of conflict. Venom Snake's true identity is one of gaming's most significant plot twists — he is not the legendary Big Boss, but rather a medic who was surgically altered to serve as a body double and phantom. This revelation recontextualizes the entire narrative, raising questions about loyalty, legend, and the cost of war. The figure features the character's distinctive appearance including his prosthetic arm and battle damage. Reviewers have praised the figure's exceptional detail, durability, and included accessories. Originally retailing at 9,800 JPY, this Play Arts Kai release remains a sought-after piece for Metal Gear Solid collectors.
