Thanks to The Phantom Limb Project, an amputee named James will have a prosthetic arm modeled after Big Boss’--minus the flying fist capabilities it’s designed after. In Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the protagonist, Big Boss, has a red-coated prosthetic arm that also functions as a self-guided rocket fist that players can fly into the faces of those who dare to oppose them.
The prosthetics artist working with Konami is Sophie De Oliviera Barata. In her Alternative Limb Project, she has created many other fantastically beautiful prosthetics, so this isn’t her first rodeo in this type of creation.
The team's blog will keep readers up to date with their progress on the limb, along with discussing some of the concepts and collaborators in the project. When it is all complete, they will reveal the finished result in a three-part documentary.
