Metal Gear Survive, Wanderer 1/6 scale statue by Gecco

Wanderer, the enemy that players encounter most frequently in “Metal
Gear Survive” is expertly recreated as a 1/6 scale statue.

Once a regular human being, the Wanderer transformed into a hideous 
freak monster after being infected with an unknown lifeform.
Originally designed by Masahiro Ito this disturbing but memorable 
character was perfectly captured in 3D by sculptor Shinya Yamaoka and is 
topped off by painter Katsushige Akeyama.

The finely sculpted crystals peppered all over his body present a stark 
contrast to the beautiful stoic muscles of his former human self. A true 
highlight of this statue.

Great care was taken in deciding the pose from every angle capturing the 
eerie atmosphere and feature of the character, a nod to his name.
The large crystal on his head, the most recognizable feature of this 
grotesque creature, lights up with a powerful LED just like it appears 
in the game.

The base with the amputated arms of the Wanderer is designed to express 
the savage world of “Dite” covered with dust and sand.

Gecco Corp. has announce that Venom Snake who appeared shirtless in the play demo version of Metal Gear Solid V at the Tokyo Game Show 2014 is now lined up as limited model in 800 pieces.

The upper body captures the anatomy of an experienced aging soldier, his torso thinly covered with fat and countless scars piled up from tough missions and war. The left bionic arm is equipped with a Stun Arm, which can knock enemies unconscious with electric shock, and is interchangeable with the Hand of Jehuty or the red default one. In the game, the length of the horn on the head changes according to the situation, for this statue it is grown. This statue highlights both his relaxed posture with Phantom Cigar in one hand and a super tense atmosphere with his sharp eye always watching out for enemies.
