Two new Play Arts Kai “Venom Snake” collectible variant figures have been revealed, and are scheduled for release later this year.

The release of the larger second-half of Metal Gear Solid V may still be a few months away, but Square Enix is continuing to build excitement for The Phantom Pain with a handful of collectible Play Arts Kai figures. Venom Snake, Quiet and Skull Face have all been immortalized as collectibles, with Snake and Skull Face already available for purchase; Quiet is available for pre-order, and is expected to release this May.

Yesterday morning, Konami and Square Enix revealed two new variants of the Venom Snake figure, due to release later this year. A “Splitter” version will be available to pre-order through various retailers, while the “Gold Tiger” variant will only be available exclusively through the Japanese Amazon.com store.
