This summer in Japan, like the summer before it and the summer before it, will see Wonder Festival. What’s the big deal about Wonder Festival? Well, do you see this figure of Samus from Metroid? Do you like it?
As seen on the cover of a 2009 issue of Swedish mag Level 42.
What if you could play the original Super Mario Bros with other classic video game characters, controlling just as they did in their own titles? Well now you can, with Simon Belmont, Link, Samus, Mega Man and Bill from Contra.
It lights up, that’s what.
Who’s winning the Metroid cosplay wars? The Swedes looked to have had it locked down, thanks to Samus cosplayer Jenni Källberg. But Brazil has fired a shot across Sweden’s bow, one named Thaís.
Here baby Melodie shows off her very extensive knowledge of game characters. So amazing. So cute.
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.
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.
