When MGS4 ships this summer, it's going to be a global event where the culmination of Kojima's work is laid bare for the world to witness. Sales for the game are expected to be monumental but tie-in merchandising has for the most part been kept to a threadbare minimum.System Service bucked the trend over the weekend by starting preorders for a set of Metal Gear Solid 4 Dog Tag Straps which feature the following personalities: Old Snake, Raiden, Meryl, Johnny, Vamp, and Liquid Ocelot. Each dog tag measures 50mm or 1.96" in length and is made of metal. A strap is tethered to the top of each dog tag for attachment to your cell phone or perhaps your ring finger. The dog tags will be packaged in plastic capsules and sold randomly in Japan. To make it easy as pie for collectors to get all six dog tags, NCS will sort out the capsules into complete sets of six and sell them in mid-late July 2008. Preorders are welcome today.
