Just over a year after its successful launch, the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake is once again in the spotlight with a new, affordable collectible for enthusiasts. Revealed by Forbidden Planet, this Naked Snake statue offers fans an accessible way to commemorate the critically acclaimed game and its enduring legacy.

The statue, crafted from PVC, stands at a commanding 20cm (approximately 7.9 inches) and perfectly captures Naked Snake in his signature dark green tactical gear, complete with his iconic black bandana. It arrives in a specially printed box and includes a base bearing the game's title, making it a display-ready piece. Priced at just £26.99, it presents an attractive option for collectors who want to pay tribute to the franchise without a significant investment. While pre-orders are currently open, fans won't have to wait long, as the statue is set to ship on October 26, 2026.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, released in 2025, served as a faithful remake of the 2004 classic, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Developed by Konami Digital Entertainment with support from Virtuos, the game aimed to honor the original's pivotal role as an origin story for many of the franchise's most important characters. The remake received generally positive reviews, lauded for its meticulous recreation of the original's atmosphere and gameplay. Screen Rant's review, for instance, scored it an impressive 8/10, noting that "It captures the essence of the original to a T, but fails to expand on it." This sentiment highlighted the remake's careful approach, preserving the masterpiece status of MGS3 while perhaps shying away from significant innovation.

Even as Konami continues to explore the Metal Gear universe, the franchise's original visionary, Hideo Kojima, has embarked on new ventures. His upcoming project, Physint, is already generating buzz as a potential spiritual successor to Metal Gear, promising a true action-espionage experience. This continued evolution, both within Konami's hands and through Kojima's new work, ensures that the spirit of Metal Gear Solid continues to thrive.

For those eager to celebrate the enduring appeal of Naked Snake and the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater experience, this new Forbidden Planet collectible provides a tangible piece of gaming history, arriving just in time for the autumn.
