"I want my memory, my existence to remain. Unlike an intron of history... I will be remembered as an exon. That will be my legacy, my mark in history. But the Patriots would deny us even that. I will triumph over the Patriots and liberate us all. And we will become-- the "Sons of Liberty"!"
— Solidus Snake
Solidus was the third "Son of Big Boss" created by the Patriots in the early 1970s, through somatic cell cloning, as part of the project Les Enfants Terribles. The initial phase of the project produced genetically diverse twin clones, one expressing Big Boss's supposedly "inferior" genetic traits, and the other his "superior" traits. The creation of the original clones led to Big Boss's departure from the Patriots. Thus, the organization required a perfect clone in order to retain a figurehead for their organization in the image of Big Boss. Years later, Solidus's DNA would act as the key to the Patriots' master AI, to which Big Boss's genetic code was the key.
As neither of the Twin Snakes were genetically identical to Big Boss, Solidus was created with the same "perfect balance" of dominant and recessive soldier genes that Big Boss possessed. As a result, Solidus possessed a nuclear genome identical to that of Big Boss, and would take much pride in his visible similarity to the man.
The accelerated aging written into each clone's genes provided the fail-safe of a limited life-span, should Solidus's genetic data fall into enemy hands or he himself turn against the Patriots. This was apparently designed to have a greater effect in Solidus's case, thus producing the required figurehead for the Patriots (a United States President in the image of Big Boss) in a relatively short space of time. As a result, Solidus would appear considerably older than his cloned brothers in later life, despite being created shortly afterwards.
Gray Fox, formerly known as Null, was the codename of FOXHOUND agent Frank Jaeger. Originally a child soldier for FRELIMO, he was the only active field agent of FOXHOUND to achieve the codename "Fox," FOXHOUND's highest commemoration, and was decorated five times. Fox was Solid Snake's war buddy and best friend after the Outer Heaven Uprising, but Fox's loyalty to Big Boss forced him to betray Snake during the Zanzibar Land Disturbance. He survived his injuries during his battle with Snake and was outfitted with a powered exoskeleton and given intense gene therapy. He confronted Snake as a neutral force during the Shadow Moses Incident before dying at the hands of Liquid Snake via Metal Gear REX.

The twin brother of Solid Snake, both are in fact clones of the greatest soldier the world has ever known: Big Boss. Liquid is the leader of Foxhound's revolt on Shadow Moses island and the main antagonist of the game. As such you battle him three separate times; once in a Hind D, once in Metal Gear Rex, and once hand to hand. Interestingly enough Cam Clark who does the voice of Liquid Snake also voiced Max Sterling from Robotech, Kaneda from Akira, Leonardo from the TMNT cartoon, and Prince Adam/He-Man in the 200X MOTU cartoon. :D
There are something moody & feeling thing that PAK version can not show...
That's why I love you and not sold you out till now. XD

Inspired by the project Rambo has underway (making a 1:18 scale Raven) I decided it was high time I dug out these figures for some dio fun! MGS is one of my all-time favorite games and I remember my anticipation for these figures was a real killer, but I had a blast collecting them one by one.
Here we find the giant stalking Solid Snake, calling out "Cossak!" as he thumps by.
