Metal Gear REX

The bipedal tank with nuclear armaments - the Metal Gear REX.

From the popular stealth action game, 'Metal Gear Solid' comes a model of the bipedal tank known as 'Metal Gear REX', brought to you by threeA.

The model measures an incredible 360mm in height even when in standby mode. All of the powerful weapons on the REX have also been faithfully reproduced, including the multiple rotary cannons, an anti-tank missile launcher, a free-electron laser and the nuclear powered railgun. But there is much more to this model - the lights and railgun are fitted with a lighting system, the cockpit can be opened and closed, certain armored parts can be removed and there are various other highlights that any Metal Gear fan is bound to appreciate.

Yoji Shinkawa, the art director for Metal Gear Solid and designer of the Metal Gear REX was directing the production of the figure, and together with the detailed and careful work of threeA, they have created the ultimate model of the REX!
