This is probably how Boba should really look like; more like the ruthless bounty hunter portrayed in Star Wars.

Play Arts Kai Storm Boba ... ...
Looks like I'm riding the Star Wars bandwagon for the past few post and including these 3 I am posting tonight.
I usually don't go for deformed or alternative design toys but these guys... somehow had me sold. I gave Darth Vader a miss and those from the S.I.C series a big miss too.
The main reason I bought Boba and Stormtrooper is for the updated look which makes them look much better than what Lucas had wanted them to be back in 1977.

Raiden Day ... ...
When it comes to Metal Gear Solid, I'm only more familiar with Snake but I don't remember Raiden. Quick search on Wiki and I realised; I don't know him at all because he was featured in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty which I didn't play.
Further read has interesting facts as follows which are extracted from Wiki
According to series creator Hideo Kojima, the decision to make a new character replace Solid Snake for most of Metal Gear Solid 2 stemmed from the developer's desire to develop Snake from a third-person perspective instead. Kojima also stated that Raiden's character and its perception by the audience were important to the overall feel of the story. The idea of having a second main character was inspired by the Sherlock Holmes short stories and novels in which the narrator was not the title character, but his friend Dr. Watson. Kojima affirmed that Snake was the game's protagonist instead of Raiden. Yoshikazu Matsuhana, assistant director for the project, was uncertain about this decision; he considered Raiden a "weak-looking character", but decided to follow Kojima.The codename "Raiden" was based on a historical combat aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service, the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden.It was initially planned to be written in katakana as "ライデン", but was changed to the kanji form "雷電" because of the original resemblance to Bin Laden's "Laden" in katanana, "ラーディン".[4] The relationship between Raiden and Rosemary was inspired by Kojima's own experiences; their names, Jack and Rose, are a reference to characters in the film Titanic.Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2 is considered to be a representation of the player through the experiences between the player and the character during the game.

Halo Master Chief ... ...
by Playarts 改 Kai under the gaming company Square Enix. I bought this mainly because of the earlier Solid Snake release which was a rather pleasant experience.

Eat Snake ... ...
That's the local slang for skiving on the job. Anyway, it's a Saturday morning. Just purchased Solid Snake from a PS game I played around 14 years back.
Metal Gear Solid (メタルギアソリッド Metaru Gia Soriddo, commonly abbreviated as MGS) is a stealth action video game directed by Hideo Kojima.The game was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and first published by Konami in 1998 for the PlayStation video game console. It is the sequel to Kojima's early MSX2 computer games Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. The game featured cinematic cutscenes rendered using the in-game engine and graphics, as well as voice acting in numerous codec sequences.
Metal Gear Solid follows Solid Snake, a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from FOXHOUND, a renegade special forces unit. Snake must liberate two hostages, the head of DARPA and the president of a major arms manufacturer, confront the terrorists, and stop them from launching a nuclear strike. (Source: Wiki)

Incidentally, this is the 25th anniversary of the release of Metal Gear and this figure of Solid Snake is under the license of Square Enix of the Play Arts Kai 改 series.
