Samus morphs into an incredible action figure

by JC Fletcher on Jan 24th 2012 8:30PM

We agree with Samus's sentiment. The new Figma Samus Aran action figure, due out in Japan this June, easily earns a rating of "thumbs up" by our standards. The 150mm (roughly 6") figure, modeled on Samus's appearance in Metroid: Other M, includes a base, two "beam effect" accessories, five alternate hands, and even a Morph Ball version of Samus.

If you have a shelf you'd like to keep Space Pirate-free, you can pre-order your own mini-Samus from toy importer AmiAmi for around $36. While you're at it, you can also pre-order this less posable, less clothed Zero Suit Samus statuette. If you're into that kinda thing, that is.

A Phantasy Star Online figure to drain your Meseta

by Richard Mitchell on Mar 30th 2011 7:00AM

Like the Dreamcast itself, the heyday of Phantasy Star Online has faded into history. Oh sure, you can play one of those newfangled Phantasy Star games, but the magic of Dreamcast keyboard-infused, 56K-powered goodness is long gone. Still, you might be able to recapture some of the old fire with a new figure from Kotobukiya, based on the android Eleanor and featuring several accessories, including a saber and some guns.

According to Tomopop, the figure is being released as part of Phantasy Star Online's tenth anniversary. It's available for pre-order now at CD Japan for $42, with a planned release this May. Also, the figure won't require the same time investment as the actual game -- all the pieces snap together.
