Raiden and Solid Snake cosplay fashion never stops, and the fans just keep them coming strong

Raiden Cosplay (Revengeance)

I never get tired of these, and maybe it's because they are just so darn awesome. The most recent one was posted on Twitter, and this one is for the character Raiden. Ever since he made his performance in Guns of the Patriots, the fans have wanted to see him in his own game. Well, after a few delays and hard work, they got just that with Revengeance earlier this year. Since then the design for him has seen fit to yield some impressive Raiden cosplay outfits, like this one. That took a bit of work to pull that outfit off don't you think?

Naked Snake Cosplay

They don't call him Snake Eater for nothing. Naked Snake (Big Boss) has been around since the beginning, and set the standard for many a Metal Gear game out there. Over the years I've seen quite a number of fans dress up like him, but none have been as impressive as this one. At first it's almost hard to believe this isn't some sort of wax figure or something similar. Very detailed, very refined, and another prime example of how dedicated a fan can be. He certainly put his heart into it.

Know any others? Feel free to point them out so they can be shared with others.

Hideo Kojima shows the world a work in progress figure of Solid Snake (Big Boss) from Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

He tweets, he surprises, he even sometimes shocks the world with certain announcements. Kind of like the one he did when he first introduced to the fans the concept of an open world Metal Gear Solid title. When Hideo Kojima tweets however, that's sometimes when we learn of what is currently happening with his latest project. Like The Phantom Pain for instance. The world wants more information, and when they get it, it's usually not enough, but enough to last you for a little while.

Well, here is something to last you for at least a day. It's a work in progress model, or figurine of our beloved Solid Snake (also known as Big Boss) from The Phantom Pain. As you can see in both pictures, this is only a very early model being shown, since it has somewhat of a way to go before its final completion. But it does give you a small sample of what sort of elements go into the production of the new Metal Gear title, and what it takes to develop it. I personally wouldn't mind having even an incomplete figure like this one sitting on my computer desk to eyeball each day.

Who knows, Kojima did mention a while back that there will be some toys and goodies that get released after the launch of The Phantom Pain, so my wish and likely yours too just might come true. In the meantime, one can only drool over these 2 photos and wonder what the finished product will finally look like.
