Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - Metal Gear Sahelanthropus - RIOBOT (Sentinel)Metal Gear Sahelanthropus · Sentinel

Sentinel's RIOBOT line presents Metal Gear Sahelanthropus from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Standing approximately 280mm tall and priced at 38,000 JPY, this figure is sculpted by Hayakawa Youji and T-REX, constructed from ABS, Die Cast, LED, PA, and POM, with product code 4571335880217. Metal Gear Sahelanthropus was developed in the 1980s under XOF's direction, with production overseen by Huey Emmerich and financed by the Soviet Union. Named after an extinct proto-hominid species, its defining feature was the ability to stand and walk upright — a first among Metal Gear designs. Its rushed development meant the cockpit could only accommodate a child, as it was originally designed to house an AI pod. Skull Face intended to use Sahelanthropus as a terrifying marketing tool, planning to reveal its destructive capabilities to the world and trigger global panic, thereby forcing nations to acquire nuclear weapons that he would supply and control through metallic archaea. The weapon's first recorded deployment was in 1984 in Afghanistan, where it seized Venom Snake from within a concealing mist created by the Parasite Unit. The RIOBOT figure incorporates die-cast metal components and LED features to recreate the imposing presence of this iconic Metal Gear weapon.
