Figumate "Sweet Snake" figures due out from Konami this December - but now snake, otakon, raiden and ocelot are cute girls.
Would you have preferred MGS to have a girl as the main character instead?

Ah it's a trap! I dunno about this...Just because Figumate is always female they ended up gender-swapping to make a series fit? No...no...

I think it would have been better if they made "cute" versions of the girls in the game instead of all the male characters.

this really creeps me out. I love those characters and for them to do this It makes me sad. Like someone said above, if they were going to do this why not just use the many female characters in the game!? It's not like there was a shortage of them or anything.
Also I think seeing cute chibi snake and the others would be fun! why didn't they do the male characters... gender swap... ugh... no thank you.
