Figma #133 Samus Aran

Way before Lara Craft became the mainstream sweetheart of the gaming world, there was Samus Aran. As a tribute to that, Figma has produced a figure of our lady in her power suit.

Out-of-box content.

Front view of Samus. The suit was painted in a red, gold and bronze.

Close up on the front. There were a lot of panel lines which adds up to the detail of the figure.

Back view of the figure.

Close up on the back. Is that a jetpack?

Unlike most female protagonist which wear very skimpy and revealing armour. Samus wears a full body armour.

Articulation was great for this figure. Here are some action pose.

Hip hip hooray!!! I have no idea what am i thinking when I took this shot.

Jump shot!

The figure came with a blaster effect. It was one of the best effect part I have ever see so far.

Samus can kneel without much issue.

Let us play some football. This figure came with a morph ball.

Every wonder how Samus can just conveniently roll into a morph ball?

Figma did a great job with this figure to the point that they have to reissue it due to the high demand. The sculpt was detail and sharp, the paint application was good and it came with great articulation. I am not a die hard fan of Samus or the Metroid series but I have to admit that this was an overall great figure. My only complaint regarding this figure was the lack of a head for Samus which we can swap with the current head. It would definitely make this release complete if Figma ever produced it. That would really be the icing on the cake.
