Beauty and the Beast

Back from a field trip, I'm excited to know that Hideo Kojima revealed the bosses for Metal Gear Solid 4 last week during GC 2007 at Leipzig, Germany. Known as Beauty and the Beast Unit, the bosses are beasts, but underneath they are beauties.

The boss design for MGS series never seized to amaze me. This time more wild and animal-like. They are human transformed by battle or war victims.

I'm not posting anymore pictures of the beasts cos it's better to watch the beasts in action. The video is in WMV format. I've added the video at the end of the page but the beast part only appears at the second half of the trailer. These characters are actually based on real life beauties from different parts of the world.

Lyndall Jarvis, a model for American and Europeans brands such as 'Guess', 'Bebe' and 'Ella Moss'.

Scarlett Chorvat, a fashion model who performed in advertisements like 'Ritz Carlton', 'Lee Jeans' and 'Diet Coke'. Also performed in some movies and TV dramas like 'Entourage' and '24'.

Mieko Rye, a fashion model, featured in Maxim.

Last but not least, a Japanese babe- Yumi Kikuchi (菊地由美). Graduated from New York, Tokyo based DJ, actress, and Hidechan Radio host.

Did anyone notice that the stunning similarity in MGS 4 and MGS boss units? Raging Raven.. Vulcan Raven. Crying Wolf.. Sniper Wolf. Laughing Octopus.. Decoy Octopus. Screaming Mantis.. Psycho Mantis. I'm very curious where this will lead.
