Kotobukiya has released official photos and info for the Metal Gear Solid Sniper Wolf Bishoujo Statue. We saw the Sniper Wolf Statue, in its unpainted prototype form, at New York Comic-Con 2015. This update gives us a look at the final painted figure. Keep in mind, this statue is a bit more risque, even for a Koto Bishoujo Statue. It’s due out in July 2016. Here’s more info from Kotobukiya:
A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Kotobukiya’s line of beautiful Bishoujo statues has brought you amazing characters reimagined in the Japanese “pretty girl” style for years, and now it’s expanding to a very familiar property, Metal Gear Solid! The first Metal Gear Solid game was released on PlayStation in 1998 and featured stealth action as directed by Hideo Kojima. A massive commercial success, “MGS” has gone on to include sequels and stories told through several other media. Presented like you’ve never seen her before and based on a new character illustration by Shunya Yamashita is Sniper Wolf! An enemy of Solid Snake and member of the evil FOXHOUND, Sniper Wolf first appeared in the original Metal Gear Solid game. Now she’s captured taking a rest from her overwatch duties, reclining on a crate with one foot resting on an ammo container. The elite markswoman is of course never without her weapon, and so she gently holds her sniper rifle in front of her with one hand. Sniper Wolf wears her iconic customized green and black uniform that’s open at the chest and her yellow/green hair flows down around her beautiful Bishoujo-styled face (with blue eyes and green lipstick) that looks at you like you’re a target. From her clothing to her rifle and the crate beneath her every element of this statue is intricately sculpted and highly detailed. There’s even a wolf pup peeking out from its hiding spot inside the broken crate! Sculpted by Takaboku Busujima (BUSUJIMAX), Sniper Wolf is 7 ½ inches tall (1/7 scale) sitting on her crate display base. Recruit her to stand guard over your collection and she’ll keep an eye on you!
Read on for the photos.

They seem to be veering into super-creepy instead of the silly/cheesy feel they had in some of the earlier ones. If they get much worse than this, not even sure I'll cover them.
Either way, not one I'd consider getting, even if I was a bigger MGS fan.
Is it the low zipper or the pose? Agreed that the pose is a bit excessive but even though it's been a while I'm pretty sure her zipper was that low in MGS.
her hair is supposed to be blonde right not greenish yellow?!?
To this day I'm still not really sure. I've always thought that it was the greenish yellow color myself.
The pose suits the character. Her shirt is usually unzipped like that in the source material.
Face sculpt ruins it for me. Don't mind the rest.
