In the wake of the much-anticipated Playstation 2 sequel, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Medicom introduces yet another rapidly growing icon into their Kubricks line with their Metal Gear Solid 2 Kubricks, available from Diamond Comic Distributors.

Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear series is one of the most popular franchises in video gaming. Offsetting the guns-a-blazing attitude of most action-adventure games by introducing an element of stealth, Kojima combined this unique gameplay with stylish cinematic presentation and a fair dose of political intrigue, resulting in the possibly the closest thing available to an authentic spy movie on a video game console. Since its initial release in September 1998, Metal Gear Solid has captivated the souls of game players worldwide, selling over 5.5 million copies. Now, Metal GearSolid 2: Sons of Liberty takes this wily Snake to unprecedented levels of gaming excitement that?s sure to have fans raving!

Shipping in March 2002 in the same format as the Special Forces Kubrick series (randomly packaged in single-figure boxes), these officially licensed Metal Gear Solid 2 Kubricks feature authentically detailed characters captured in the popular Kubrick building-block style, complemented with realistic costume pieces and weaponry as portrayed in the upcoming Playstation 2 epic! Measuring approximately 2 �" tall, and boasting an impressive eight-point articulation, this first series includes: Solid Snake, Hal Emmerich, Revolver Oceleot, Olga, Gurlukovich Soldier in Woodland Camo, Gurlukovich Soldier in Tiger Camo, and a seventh mystery character! Metal Gear Solid 2 Kubricks are on the fast-tract to international popularity and should appeal to video game fanatics and collectors of Kubricks alike.
