Michael Lau’s Snake Square S007 (6"), his tribute to Metal Gear Solid, debuted a few months ago at his CSBOOTH16 event. While the figure concept comes from the vaunted video game franchise, Michael puts his mark on it with his stylish and humorous take on Snake’s crocodile head and tail disguise. As we get closer to the celebration of the historic Gardener 10th Anniversary in LA, MINDstyle has just announced their exclusive monotone edition of Snake Square S007 which will be released sometime this month.
