Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series of games, is teasing a number of figurines that are currently under development and will be associated with the upcoming Ground Zeroes releases.

The game creator says on his Twitter feed that, “Here's ‘Quiet’ test model still in progress by PlayArts KAI” and offers a close-up of the figurines.

It will be interesting to see whether the models will only be offered as a separate package or whether publisher Konami plans to put together special game packages that include them.

Ground Zeroes is designed to act as a prequel for the full The Phantom Pain, which will arrive later in 2014, and is the first game that will use the power of the new Fox Engine.

Launch will take place in the second half of March on the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 and current-gen consoles.
