If you are bitten by the Metal Gear Solid bug because of the recent resurgence of MGS brought about by the new game Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, well, then you may be interested in this collectible that pays homage to the OG MGS video game: Chogokin Metal Gear REX..
That’s right. It’s another REX, but this one ain’t no cutesy pie like MegaHouse’s. As a Chogokin, expect generous use of die-cast metal through the figure, which translates to “collectors’ worthy.” So, yeah, soon, you can make this weapon of mass destruction (shhhh, don’t let the US know about this) a captive on your shelf.
This definitive REX comes decked in a detailed camouflage paint job, complete with LED headlights that somehow make this cold death machine appear organic and fearsome like a T.rex. Its railgun stretches an intimidating 260 mm (around 10 inches), while the whole beast stands up to 180 mm (‘bout 7 inches) tall with legs extended.
Die-cast alloy parts are sprinkled throughout for that cold, weapon-grade texture, while movable die-cast spikes and countless joints ensure Rex can strike everything from “ominous stalk” to “forward-leaning death glare” poses.
Chogokin also throws in its signature armor deployment gimmick, exposing the internal frame and shiny die-cast innards for added display drama. A dedicated pedestal and support joints keep the tank steady while you decide whether Rex belongs in full battle stance or dramatic lean.
This nuclear-equipped walking apocalypse will drop in February 2026. Preorders opened August 28, 2025, with a suggested retail price of 36,300 yen (about 246 USD).
