Raiden was met with mixed reception in Metal Gear Solid 2, but nonetheless was popular enough for inclusion in Metal Gear Solid 4. While his acrobatic fighting style was shown in MGS2, the ante was up in MGS4. To say even more extravagant fighting for Raiden will be shown in Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is an understatement. To celebrate the Metal Gear 25th Anniversary, Konami and Square Enix have teamed up for more Metal Gear Play Arts Kai. Unveiled at Tokyo Game Show 2012 was none other than yet another Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Play Arts Kai Raiden! This figure sports different colored armor from the previously seen release, and different parts. Also shown were:

EDIT: Incorrectly identified initially as MGS4 Raiden, thanks to Gogdog for clearing things up
Eh…oh yeah speaking of Tokyo Game Show, Raiden, and Revengeance:
New Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Play Arts Kai Raiden

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Play Arts Kai Raiden
Wow, this is actually from MGS4, I thought this was just another look at the Revengeance version!
That suit is not from MGS4...

EDIT: Did some reading, this may actually be based on Raiden in the beginning of Revengeance(before his eye and left arm are destroyed), the black suit is his new body after being rebuilt/repaired I think.
Getting tired of the ultra-violence, hack n slash blood & gore thing. The more over the top they make it, the more boring it becomes.
Yeah, ti is the crappy Revengeance version and not the MGS4 suit.
Found this quote on Kotaku that might clear up the different suits.
"So, the Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2 is called "Old Raiden". The Raiden in MGS4 is called "White Raiden". And the latest Raiden? He is "Black Raiden."
