So dusty already!

 

[Aeonofgods]

I usually don't like them but the Nendodroid ones look pretty good

 

[GavinUK86]

Wow.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Trying to burn a franchise before the first game is even out?

 

[artsi]

I want that 1/12 one.

 

[Melkezadek]

Well there goes all my money.

Also, is this the first full body shot of Luden?

 

[Grim Patron]

will buy the nendo.

 

[mikefrails]

Toys before gameplay? Kojima is truly the Kanye West of gaming.

 

[taoofjord]

They certainly have good taste. Those companies make great figures.

Maybe I'm incorrect but aren't these just figures of their company logo? If so, nothing wrong with that. They look cool and it's probably 50% marketing and 50% just for fun. As I stated, GoodSmile and Max Factory make quality stuff. Much better than the quality of the typical collectors-edition collectibles. For MGSV, the mechanical hand was made by Sentinel who is another one of the top companies in the industry.

What franchise?

 

[Big Wazu]

These look good! Hope to grab these when they release. I really liked the Kojima Productions box set they sell on their site, so the figures would go good alongside it.

 

[Ricky_R]

Good boy, Jima! Spend that Sony money.

 

[Mifec]

Which game is My Twisted Dark Fantasy? MGS1,2 or 3?

 

[soultron]

Wake me up when Kojima actually ships another game.

 

[strafer]

Looks like the Dark Souls 1 character has put on a few pounds.

 

[McArkus]

I though they revealed the floating guys...

 

[kewlmyc]

I'm known for buying figures for stupid reasons, but buying a figure for a logo of a company that only has a concept trailer out currently seem... strange to say the least.

 

[Sectorseven]

This is toys for a mascot to a company that doesn't even have a product yet?

 

[kewlbot]

i find this kind of odd, especially when the game is like not even playable yet
but i gotta say, i do love me some figures

 

[Admiral Woofington]

You underestimate how much people love Kojima. I ain't buying shit until I see their game. And even then buying a mascot is a bit iffy

 

[mikefrails]

They certainly have good taste. Those companies make great figures.



Maybe I'm incorrect but aren't these just figures of their company logo?

Oh yeah that's true, he did mention the emblem wouldn't be turned into a game. But I mean in general, if these make it to market before us seeing Death Stranding gameplay.

 

[DeathSparks]

I'll take 12 of them.

 

[Strangelove77]

Those legs....eesh.

 

[Trojan]

Kojima already has left the reservation lmao. Sony sending a search party for him now.

 

[aBarreras]

WHY?

i mean c'mon! they dont even have an engine, and they are selling merchandise.

i dont know if Kojima is Crazy or a Genius, probably both

 

[Samimista]

The Nendo figures are very cute.

 

[Nudull]

The power of Kojima overhype.

 

[Mifec]

WHY?

Because Kojima is god.

4

 

[Sou Da]

Taking the Inafune approach.

 

[mikefrails]

Which game is My Twisted Dark Fantasy? MGS1,2 or 3?

I feel like MGS1 is the closest to perfect since it's such a core representation of the franchise.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Shinkawa made a generic concept so cool looking. I'm curious if the logo will ever be more than just the logo. Heard Norman reedus face matching the mascot but no concrete evidence yet.

 

[aBarreras]

quoting one of his games, he is playing you like a goddamn fiddle

 

[LiK]

buying them all.

 

[taoofjord]

Oh yeah that's true, he did mention the emblem wouldn't be turned into a game. But I mean in general, if these make it to market before us seeing Death Stranding gameplay.

Not sure why it matters if they release these before the game even has a gameplay reveal. It's just company merch, it's not harming anyone. And it's essentially just a figure of an original character. Believing in the future of the company or Kojima isn't a requirement to picking up a figure cause you dig its design.

Personally speaking, I think it's a cool design but have no interest in getting it. More power to those that do though.

 

[spectator]

Mmm... Ludens.

I like the cherry ones best.

 

[Bombless]

I see he's already gathering funds to keep him in the black after running out of Sony money, lol.

Delete this.

I like you. Thought the same.

 

[Tempy]

Kojima is visiting San Diego for SDCC. If you want to see those figures up close:

KojiPro LUDENS figure lineups are exhibited at BAIT(920 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101, United States), pls drop by!

 

[Sora the Cat]

V. Not kidding.

 

[Kindekuma]

Man, I want that 1/12 scale figure. Luden's design is rad as fuck

 

[muteki]

Nendo will be mine.

 

[NEO0MJ]

I see he's already gathering funds to keep him in the black after running out of Sony money, lol.

After what happened with MGS5 I'm not surprised.

 

[CengizMan]

 

[Wanderer5]

The nendo looks pretty awesome.

 

[AAMARMO]

I bet this guys is the last boss in Death Stranding.

 

[Bombless]

Bait indeed!

 

[Mifec]

V. Not kidding.

On a gameplay level sure, as a whole package, FUCK NO.

Who turned out the lights?
