Earlier in the year, way back in March, Gecco revealed their first statue from Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain. It was for Quiet, and that statue is due to start shipping next month. Now, Gekko has revealed photos and details on their next figure from Metal Gear V, for Venom Snake. And much like their Quiet statue, this Venom Snake statue looks pretty epic.
