Retro_Link Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 http://www.cubed3.com/news/16368 Max Factory had previously announced they would be bringing out a figma of Samus Aran a while back now. This week at Comiket 81 though, they reiterated the fact that the famous bounty hunter, clad in Varia Suit armour, would be available to buy sometime in 2012. However, Good Factory are putting together a 1/6 PVC version of Ms Aran in her sexy Zero Suit getup. This figure has a more firm release date of June 2012. No prices have been revealed as of yet though. Look Amazing!
Sméagol Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Thanks! I’ll be pre-ordering as soon as possible! I’ve always wanted Samus figures from Japanese companies, I hate the F4F stuff. Both look hot. Although I read the powersuit version is a Figma. That said, the powersuit lends itself more for jointed figures, so I guess it¨s not a problem (I’m generally not a fan of posable figures).
Grazza Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 That Zero Suit figure has such a lovely pose. Very dynamic.

Is that what a Figma is, a posable figurine?It looks really great for one in that case, and almost makes me like it more, providing it's very versatile! @Grazza, yeah looks incredible!

Sméagol Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah, Figma is a series of posable action figures. I don’t like joints, so I stay away from action figures, but like I said, things like Samus’ powersuit, and the EVAs from Evangelion to name another example, lend themselves well for these kind of figures. I believe the professor Layton action figure someone here has, is also a Figma.
Retro_Link Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 It would be amazing if they did some Link figures! I don't feel First4Figures have ever really got his face right. The Link on Epona figure isn't too bad, but just looking at the face this company has done for Samus I think they could do a really good job!
Ike Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 They are up for preorder on HLJ.com. Zero Suit Samus is £55 though and that's not including postage (and customs). The Varia suit version is a bit better £27.
Retro_Link Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 Hmm... do I order or not? Can anyone guess how much would postage be? Tbh, those prices are bargains compared to the First4Figure stuff, which isn't as good! I LOVE tha Varia Suit figure, all of it's poses look amazing!!
Cube Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Just a warning: If you select FedEx they will send you a bill for the customs charge (20%, so around £5.50 for the Varia Suit) and an extra fee of £10.
Sméagol Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Can anyone guess how much would postage be?.. Last figure that I bought has a shippingcost of Â¥1,180 which apparently is £ 9.78224. This is the cheapest option, but I’m generally a patient man. So that should be similar if you only want one figure. Although, like Cube said, you may (and probably will) be charged customs and taxes, which will be higher than the shippingcosts. I pre-ordered them both.
Ike Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Finally got my payment request from HLJ which means they are shipping them out Kinda regret not ordering the Zero Suit figure but seeing the price reminds me why I didn't in the first place ~_-
Ike Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Of course Shipping was cheaper than I expected for SAL, 880 Yen (7.12) if anyone was wondering (no?).
Agent Gibbs Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I've not had my email yet! but on reviewing their site the order is processing so thats all good, or it would be if the Samus statue wasn't still ORDER STOP its depressing i want them both! (wish the Figma Link was coming at the same time)
Ike Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 She arrived I'll try to get some better photos later, but I suck at taking good ones so we'll see
