Max Factory revealed a few details on its new Varia Suit Samus figma and Zero Suit Samus model. Here’s what we know so far:
- Both figures are set for release in June, 2012.
- The Varia Suit model is 15cm (~5.9 inches) tall, while the Zero Suit one is 22cm (~8.6 inches).
- The Varia Suit comes with a Morph Ball, arm cannon accessories, changeable left hands and a stand. You can freely change its poses.
- The Zero Suit comes with a Metroid and a stand. It cannot change poses.
- The suggested prices are 3800 yen (about $50) for the Varia Suit and 7800 yen (about $100) for the Zero Suit, but you might be able to get them for less by pre-ordering.
- You can pre-order them at AmiAmi, Hobby Link Japan, Hobby Search, or Otacute. All of those are based in Japan, so don’t expect cheap shipping.
In my opinion, both figures look simply amazing. I pre-ordered a Varia Suit figma for myself at AmiAmi, for 2820 yen. They don’t have information on shipping costs yet, but I’ll keep you updated.
Here are the official pages, full of pretty pictures, for the Varia Suit and Zero Suit.
–Naner.
Wow they look amazing indeed, I suppose I should start saving some money aswell for those, perhaps a local gamestore can help me out on those aswell to import them. Looks very shiny
I don’t think you’ll have much luck with a local store. As far as I know, only Japanese ones are getting them.
I already pre-ordered mine. If you want one, you’d better pre-order it fast because these aren’t gonna last long at all.
True. They’re listed as top sellers in Hobby Search.
As much as I prefer the Prime series model, these look damn awesome!
I initially didn’t like the Other M model, but it really grew in me. It seems to have better proportions and more interesting details than most other designs.
I actually very much like the Other M model… minus the cannon. First thing I would mod.
Might actually buy 2, have 1 to stay as-is, and try and get the other to glow.
Which of these sites would be the best or safest to order from? They all seem to convert the Yen to USD a little differently, should I just go by which is cheapest?
I have no previous experience with the stores. If you’re worried, I suggest looking for customer reviews about them. See what each of them does right and wrong. If more than one seems good, go with the cheapest!
