Gecco Opens Pre-Orders for Raiden Statue from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Gecco has announced the opening of pre-orders for a new statue of Raiden from the iconic game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. This character, also known as Jack and the White Devil, will receive a 32 cm (approximately 12.6 inches) tall collectible figure, crafted in 1/6 scale from high-quality polystone.
Priced at $399.99 (approximately 32,446 rubles), the statue is meticulously detailed. The Gecco team has succeeded in recreating every element of Raiden's intricate cybernetic exoskeleton, his high-frequency blade, and tactical knife.
The base of the statue is inspired by iconic scenes where Raiden supports Solid Snake and includes scattered debris from a defeated Gekko, the biomechanical combat machine.
Raiden's majestic pose and focused expression convey his unwavering dedication to protecting Snake. The collectible is expected to be released between August and November 2026.
