New Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Play Arts Kai Raiden

under Video Game Toy News

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:

We’ve mirrored some images from marshallalloc, which you can see after the jump!

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:

    Wow, this is actually from MGS4, I thought this was just another look at the Revengeance version!

    I don't see the white one there

    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.

    I think the whole goal behind that, was so players could play Raiden, as he was portrayed in MGS4.

    I want the MGS4 suit but I do like the Revengeance one too, looks beast.

    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."

    The one we're seeing then is probably from the beginning of Revengeance, since the black one has the eyepatch(sometime in the game Raiden has 1 eye and optic nerve destroyed, and left arm cut off).
