I KNEW IT! Raiden IS a girl!

A figurine set featuring Metal Gear Solid 4 characters…as girls? Yup. The set shows our beloved MGS4 characters: Solid (Old) Snake, Liquid Snake, Raiden (insert joke here), and Otacon in Lolita–or Lolicon–form. I’m not much into action figures (mostly the Gashapon stuff), but I’m would like to have these! Yeah…the Lolita fad is for guys (not to mention that it borders on something illegal), but as a girl, they look kind of かわいい! Honestly though, I’d rather buy the Mcfarlane figures.

I found something interesting while browsing Play-Asia’s toys and figures page. Two figurines featuring Goku from Dragonball Z and Luffy D. Monkey from One Piece. However, their roles have been switched: Luffy is Goku, and Goku is Luffy!

These are being released as a part of the 40th Anniversary of Shounen Jump magazine in Japan. The figures show Luffy in Goku’s famous orange gi, and Goku in Luffy’s red shirt and shorts–including the straw hat. The figures will be released in November, and of course, they are limited edition. Anyone who is interested can order them from Play-Asia: Goku -> Luffy; Luffy -> Goku. I would probably get them for myself as an early Christmas present. ^_^
