Metroid Prime Phazon Suit Statue
5:40AM Mike Fahey | First 4 Figures have done very good things with the Metroid licence, from the classic Varia Suit to the sexy Zero Suit Samus, but their latest creation leaves their previous efforts in the dark. Phazon Suit Samus. Being infected with a glowing mutagen has never looked so good! The statue is crafted entirely in transparent resin, with over 25 LED lights incorporated to give it the unhealthy Phazon glow, and the who thing is mounted on a mirror base that ties the whole effect together. Standing at 11 inches tall, Phazon Suit Samus is very pretty, but also pretty rare at only 1,500 pieces worldwide, and pretty expensive at $US 224.99. If you’ve got the funs and are so inclined, hit up the order page immediately to make sure you get yours when they are released in early 2009. Hit the jump for two more pictures of this spectacular piece. More »
Peach, Samus Return To Feast Upon The Living
8:30PM Luke Plunkett | Peach and Samus? Hot. But Peach and Samus…dead? Then reanimated, and driven by a hunger for the flesh of the living? Not ho-….ah, who am I kidding. Still hot. Maybe even hotter. Samus is obviously above, with Peach after the jump, because she may be NSFW. Things look awfully decomposed down there. Still not 100% sure. More »
Samus, Unreal Tournament III’s Newest Contender
4:40AM Mark Wilson | After transplanting Master Chief from his warm, green home on the Xbox 360 to the PlayStation 3, it was hard to imagine a greater iconoclastic modder offense…but one may have just happened. The newest entrant to the UTIII unlicensed mods club is this Samus Aran skin. Play Metroid, kinda, on your PS3! More »
Custom Samus Figure Is Finished, Awesome
3:17PM Luke Plunkett | Metroid fans and amatuer historians will remember September 4, 2007, as the day we posted a few shots of Red3183’s custom Samus action figure. At the time, it was a work in progress. Promising, yet incomplete. Now? Totally done. Finished, painted, posing. And looking absolutely wonderful. Some shots below, visit Red’s Flickr page for more.

Bloody Samus Cosplay Done Right
10:22AM Michael McWhertor | Most cosplay fails from either poor costume construction or the revealing of too much unruly flesh. Few want to see Tifa reimagined as a heroine whose shorts are bursting at the seams with layers of manifested laziness, one reason why the generally slender cosplayers in Japan are held in high regard in such circles. Thankfully, this Metroid Prime-style Samus Aran cosplay, as performing by Swedish student Jenni Källberg hits all the right marks. Good outfit, adequate wig, excellent details and a distinct lack of body sloppiness. Many more photos at the link below. Final score: A-. Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

7:49AM Logan Booker | Not much for the shiny cases or even just the plain white? Well, it might take a little more time compared to replacing a chassis – depending on how artistic you are (or how good you are with a dremel) – but this Metroid-inspired Wii mod takes the cake in terms of cool console creations.
If you can’t be bothered working for it, that’s okay – you can buy this baby on eBay, right now. Hit the link below for more info.
