Metroid Dread - Figma Samus Aran Figure by Good Smile Company

Looks different than when it was originally announced. Will this be a variant, or did they just retool it from this:

Yes please, let's see, they did super, zero suit, and other m. If you skip 1 and 2 for lack of detail (or just count super), all we need is fusion and the core series is complete.

That's just a render from the game, they used this to announce that they were working on the figure.

No they didn't. That was the Prime 3 suit, not Super Metroid one. The Super Metroid one is quite different and bulkier. Plus, the suit from the II remake was quite detailed.

Um... sorry, what's the difference?

Anyway, that looks really good, but it's not going to be out for another year? Man, they are really slow, aren't they?

Also, still no effect accessories like missiles blasting off or anything? As cool as this looks, there's nothing that makes it superior to the Prime version other than having the new suit.

Goodsmile is, I have noticed, hit or miss with how quickly that put out their Figma Figures. I have an open pre-order for one that is well over a year old, and just received one that was even older. Though sometimes they come quickly. I guess it might be based on the property?? who knows...

I definitely think this is worth getting if you are a fan of the series, the suit is gorgeous with the blues and whites. But yes, I 100% agree about the accessories. I wish they would do a Metroid accessory pack with effects of the various beams and missiles. I'd also love some of the run-of-the-mill baddies.

Looks really good, but yeah, over a year off is rough.

I'm still wanting for Figma to get the damn Doom Slayer figure out. I'm hearing December now, but who knows?

[SuperWeird]

Pre-ordered. I have their Other M figure and it’s awesome.

[SuperWeird]

Correction: I have the Prime figure (not Other M) and it’s awesome.

I have it too, and it is indeed awesome.

[Harbinger]

I wish this included an unhelmeted head.

This looks great. Not too confident with the magnet piece gimmick but we'll see upon release. Looking forward to the next Metroid game, hopefully releases next year. Yes the other Samus figures they've made are the best. Wish they would make more video game/Nintendo characters.
