Kotobukiya Metal Gear RAY comes out in April 2014, new photos
Is the 3A Metal Gear RAY a little too expensive for you? Here is a cheaper alternative: the Kotobukiya Metal Gear RAY. This figure has been made under the supervision of Yoji Shinkawa, and is set for release in April 2014. It comes with figures of Old Snake, Liquid-Ocelot and three FROG-soldiers. The scale of the RAY is 1/100, with a total length of about 21 centimeters (a little over 8″). The price is ¥ 8,400 (about $80 and €60).
Kojima took some pictures of the model kit.
“Adjusting the coloring of RAY plastic model releasing from KOTOBUKIYA. Looking neat.”
“This is THE Plastic Model.”
Here are some images from the official site:

Bah !
So basically this one is prepainted or what?
I’m not sure actually, but it looks like it. From what I understand though, the figures of Old Snake and co aren’t.
It’s a (most likely injection moulded) plastic model kit, the plastic isn’t painted but rather mixed to a specific colour and then they use that molten plastic to create a runner – a sheet with one set of pieces on as seen in the pictures. Each of the small figures will be 1 part on the runner and come in a solid colour so they’ll need painting to get any detail.
They never make it apparent enough for people not into this stuff. No the figure is not prepainted. It comes with plastic that is slightly colored (doesn’t make much of a difference). It will look like it does in the first pic.
