About this deal

An alternate head part with short hair is also included, allowing you to display the younger Samus. The base is a very good design with the Metroid logo, but 2 of mine came with pretty poor paintwork on the big silver "S" in the middle, there is a white scuffy looking haze all over it, almost looks like paint fade, hard to describe but definitely hurts the aesthetics when you look closely.

Oh right, you get a morph ball too. Don’t get me wrong, I love the morph ball as a power up and I think it’s a timeless upgrade and vital aspect to the Metroid games, but in figure form I discovered long ago that it’s extremely underwhelming. After all, it’s just…a ball. First 4 Figures is extremely proud to present Samus Aran's Zero Suit, the third collectible statues in First 4 Figures highly anticipated suit series based on Retro Studios Metroid Prime game trilogy. This version is based on the Zero Suit seen at the end of Metroid Prime 2 Echoes.

The beam effects that came with the Other M version had game-accurate long pink pellets ( I painted mine though, which is why they’re transparent blue and magenta here) – which were true to that version’s armor alone, not this one.

It isn’t what I’d typically associate with deep, metallic/reflective paint – and while that’s exactly what I’d expect out of Samus’ armor, whatever Max Factory/Good Smile did here still looks perfect in this application. The red on her helmet and chest actually skirt closer to candy red. During her travels throughout the galaxy, Samus Aran can find and equip different suits of armour to protect her against the hostile world around her, and to grant herself numerous different abilities. Of these suits, none of these are more recognisable than the iconic Varia Suit. The Varia suit reduces the damage that Samus takes by up to half, is highly resistant to hot environments and completely nullifies the effects of acid, allowing her to walk through it without injury. I look forward to the Varia Suit EX (and the inevitable Dark Suit Samus) which I am assured will somehow surpass even this! Modelled on Samus' appearance in MecurySteam's Metroid Dread, the figure is highly posable and comes with all of the added customisation options that we have come to expect from Good Smile's releases. From "METROID DREAD" comes figma Samus Aran: DREAD ver.! Featuring double-jointed knee joints, Morph Ball parts and more, this is a figma Metroid fans won't want to miss!

GOOD SMILE RACING

This 'Samus Varia Suit' is an 11" painted statue and is once again "coming soon". First 4 Figures has previously released a number of Metroid-themed products, including a "life size" Samus helmet. You can see this item in the gallery below: I already mentioned how they differ in feel above, but in terms of looks I think the Corruption version is the clear winner, repaint or not. It’s less of a look at how Max Factory/Good Smile has improved in sculpting their Figmas and more of how much I enjoy each core concept design though – the Prime suits will always be my favorites. First of all let me say yes, it's a good looking statue with an iconic pose and the lighting looks nice. Before receiving it, I thought it would be a 5 star piece for sure. However after having seen 5 samples (including 3 regular editions) and having smashed 2 of them, I do need to point out some quality concerns. This is the exclusive version of the Varia Suit. LEDs have been integrated throughout the entire statue, bringing it to life exactly as seen in the games.

I’m also still a little tilted that we’ve gotten two Figma Samus’ (Samii?) at this point and still no missile effect. We’ve gotten a swap-out cannon tip both times to give the look of a missile about to fire (or in missile firing mode) but an actual missile with a smoke trailing effect coming out of the cannon is a total missed opportunity, I think. Plus, I’m not even really happy with this – (forgive me for getting too deep into the Metroid lore/gameplay here) but for Samus’ arm cannon configuration here she should only be able to fire the power beam – short, tiny yellow pellets. Hah. No. What’s most interesting is that the instructions for this Figma make no mention of this feature, and it’s really just left up to intuition for those who’ve owned the previous Figma Samus. This arm cannon was designed to be modular with the old beam effects, and that’s all well and good for us who already own the previous Figma (kind of) but it ends up being nothing but a design compromise and missed play value to those who don’t.I doubt people complain about figure weight and feel often (at least, I rarely see it mentioned), but for this Samus it’s accentuated by the fact that the previous Samus Figma felt as though it was much more solid. Each segment – thighs, arms, torso, head – feels heavier and more durable in the Other M version. Some diehard fan over at Nintendo/Max Factory/Good Smile must’ve suggested actual missiles as an accessory, but was fired for being too good for this world and replaced by some chump who then proceeded to throw out the idea that they should instead include a thumbs up hand, which Samus flashes once throughout the entire game – during the final ending game cutscene no less! The statue is heavy and extremely well made. I give massive props to the QC team on this one. The statue looks amazing as is, but with the added electronics on the EX version, it really takes it to the next level. The way they've designed the base to transmit power to the DC connector on the foot, then through the statue and once again to another DC power connector on the right arm, where the cannon slips into place, is really clever! The first 2 units I received had stress fractures throughout the paint on the left half of the chest plate. I've spoken to a number of other owners who also have had this issue, sometimes there are similar fractures in the paint on the cannon, although only one of my samples had this too.

Adam treating her as a child or a liability (despite having a better record than Adam) no wonder she left him before and freelanced, and now he's a jelly little pr***. The Zero Suit was first seen in Metroid: Zero Mission, ending sequences of Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime Hunters, and is making an appearance in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl.Don't label me feminist. You have no right. Especially since the authorization isn't even the half of it. Seriously, Samus seeing Adam as a farther figure? Why?
