Hero-of-Time Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I probably would have picked up the Gravity Suit Samus myself but seeing as its the same stance as the original Samus ( which I have ) I didnt bother, the same goes for the Phazon Suit Samus. I wonder when they are going to release the Gunship and Zero Samus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The only Samus I would consider buying would be the Fusion Suit. They should make it instead of these other changes of colour schemes like the Gravity Suit and wtvr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I think it's valid as they made it in lesser quantities than the original suit and I just much preferred it to the original one, they are both awesome though. Samus - Gravity Suit So as an alternative colour scheme it's good plus they allready have the moulds for the statues so they might as well make limited runs as well as the originals, even the Zero Suit Samus has a limited run which includes a light-up base, I'd considered getting that too but I don't really have the room to keep any more statues lol so I chose to limit myself to two, besides they are quite expensive, even though they are so worth it.

ShadowV7 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Phoned up Forbidden Planet to see what was going on with the Shiek statue, turns out they didn't have any in stock and it would be a minimum of 14 days till dispatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gah, then why didn't they put it like that on the site? Jeezus they're slow. Didn't buy Samus because they're slow and now this. Bah. Thanks for the info.

ShadowV7 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yeah I was pretty annoyed aswell actually. Ordered last week and didn't know what was going on. Don't get why sites don't bother saying whether they have something in stock or not, just bad customer service. And it's becoming a pain since some statues are becoming real bitches to try and get, especially in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still don't know how much the postage will be, but UK sites, the ones that do send here,like to shaft us postage wise so I'm not optimistic.

ShadowV7 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The Shiek statue I ordered from play.com arrived today. Only got sent on Wednesday aswell, wasn't expecting that, was quite a nice surprise to open my bedroom door to see a parcel there. Was semi-expecting it to be the Zelda T-Shirt I ordered from play, but it I need to pick that up at a Royal Mail office. Parcel force FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 What a pleasant suprise. My Sheik statue from Forbidden Planet arrived today. Didn't think I'd get it after reading Shadow's comment about them being out of stock. It's not bad, not as detailed as I had hoped, but it's a very nice piece for my collection. Number 1092/2500. The pacel it came in had 'Star Wars - Clone Wars TOYS' printed all over it, which was quite embarassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Cool, few pics possible?! Oh and @ Shadow... as unlikely as it is that you'd want to pay this much [depends how much it might be worth in the future I suppose], the US Amazon has 3 Fierce Deity Link's in-stock for $179.95, so about £120 + shipping!! http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Fierce-Deity-Statue/dp/B000XZ9ZYO Alternatively, there's a New-in-box one being sold on ebay.co.uk http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Legend-of-Zelda-Majoras-Mask-Link-Fierce-Deity-Statue_W0QQitemZ320337140027QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item320337140027&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Currently at £23.00 but with 2days remaining and a few bidders watching.

Blue_Ninja0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 That Samus is freaking awesome. And the Fierce Deity Link is one of my most wanted ones, but it's expensive as hell. Here's the stuff I bought: I love the Mario hat, it's very big and pillow-like. I also got a Yoshi, a keychain and 2 figures from TP here: They were pretty cheap. I wanted the other 2 to complete the collection but they're not in production anymore. And finally a volume from the Zelda manga: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah, i'd much prefer it to be Ganondorf from OOT. I had the very poster on my wall actually from NOM I think, same with the dragon boss from the Fire Temple. Great posters they were. My Sheik statue still hasn't been processed or anything yet. If it nothing happens tomorrow then i'll phone them to see what's happening then might order it from play. I'm still trying to hunt down a Fierce Deity Link statue. I really want it and need it for my collection! If anyone is thinking about selling theres or comes across anywhere with them, tell me! Shadow, I was at the Leeds store last week, and they had the Sheik statue in the glass cabinet for £29.99 (can you possibly call them?) I went with friends, also LukeLee who bought me the Samus Statue (Which rests nicely on my unit) was with me at the time and another friend. A great place to shop, I need to get over there again at some point. I tried to pick up the OOT manga while I was there, but only found volume 2! ..however I did manage to get this instead: I am not certain, but LukeLee has also said he has put in an order for the Phazon Suit Samus statue..which I am very happy about. I can also confirm that play.com are selling the Phazon Suit Samus for £89.99 might be worth checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Got this on the weekend for £30 at a convention to put on my wall. Custom made of course. The guy who was selling it has a website - here - which sells it and a few other Zelda pieces. Just incase any of you may be intrested.

ShadowV7 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ocarina of Time Adult Link is out in May, Sonic in May and Phazon Suit Samus in June. Re-design screens have been added to the site now aswell for OOT Link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The redesign is worse than the original IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) So... Before: After: Only subtle differences to the face; less dark around the eyes, slimer nose, and less of a mouth, but IMO it does look better!

ShadowV7 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think it looks better aswell, the style of the new one fits the OOT adult Link well I thought. Still need to get that damn Skull Kid Statue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm not very keen on the eye's, but then again these figures do sometimes look better and diffrent when you get them in hand. Also, I just had a look on Play and noticed they have reduced the price of the Sheik statue to £22.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Good stuff! I think it looks much better, kinda anime-ish. Anyone know when the Metroid Gunship is shipping? I have had the thing preordered for ages now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also went to the store in Leeds last month and grabbed the last Sheik statue for £14.99! I haven't opened it yet, going to be redecorating my room this summer so I'm just saving a load of new posters and stuff like that to dot about.
