Look who has a Metroid
why you so ashy
>>5327049
I want one! Where and how much?
>>5327106
Saw them at Toys R Us, i think they should be about 20$(they're 22$ in Canada)
>>5327109
I'll have to look next time I'm there. It's out of stock on their website and they don't say which stores have it.
>>5327049
>Metroid
Her name's Samus, numb nuts. Bet you think this guy's named Zelda, huh?
>>5327049
The last Metroid is in captivity
>>5327121
>>5327049
Your hands look dry as fuck.
Its my favorite Mario Bros. character.
>>5327049
I have one too. I got mine when it went up on Amazon for retail for like 15 minutes, months ago. I still want another one but I'm not paying second hand prices for it.
>>5327390
Must be all that time they spend in fingerless gloves...
God, its internal organs look like a mass of genital warts.
yaknow im not a huge metroid fan, but i would not be mad if someone got me this for christmas
sadly i have no friends and basically no family so that's not going to happen
>>5327049
Sam Ash sells metroids?
>>5327769
If these went back in stock, I'd buy one for each of us, anon.
Any good action figure of Samus in armor?
>>5330020
There's a Figma.
>>5330062
Oh yeah sorry, I didn't precise, I know of the figma. It uses the Other M armor design though, and it's not my preferred, so I was wondering if there was some other existing ones before buying it.
>>5327049
I was pretty psyched to find 2 of these at a TRU in Quebec last summer. Decided to walk around the mall and circle back instead of carrying them around for 30 minutes. When I went back only one was left :(
I'd rather see them release it at a smaller size, and buy several. It's kind of dumb at that size, even if it calls back to the end of Super Metroid.
>>5330080
I pretty much feel the same way. I got one like >>5327463 did, and I ended up selling it the BST because it was such a mismatch for my collection. It was pretty much the best I could have asked for out of a Metroid, but I could barely fit the thing on my shelf. If they ever made half sized versions I'd buy a handful of them.
>>5327434
people who update product info often fuck up like that
>>5330069
there was the garage kit from like 5+ years ago, but it's over 300 bucks a pop now, Dimension Diver Samus or something.
If you have the skill for garage kits and don't like the Other M style, buy the figma loose (about 35 bucks) and bulk up the torso and shoulder pads
fucking tampa hasn't seen hide nor hair of the Metroid.
I would LOVE it if they put it into the 2.5" line, would be adorable to have my desk swarming with like 5-10
Dear diary....JACKPOT!
>>5330926
I wish my TRU was like that but nope this is what I have to deal with every time I go.
>>5332507
My Toys R Us Express had one bowser and one metroid today. I picked up the Metroid and left the Bowser. Im stating to think Metroid is slowly starting to show up now in most stores. Its still a matter of luck finding one though.
>>5327049
I thought Metroid was a dude in an orange and yellow armor.
>>5333126
Is a robot stubid!
>>5332197
That is the best Knuckles we'll ever have...
I wish I didn't know about this thing cause now I REALLY want one but fuck paying more than 20$ for one. Now I need to go driving around in BS traffic to check.
BBTS has the gannon/metroid in stock.
$69.99 the filthy jews.
>>5327049
Is the new version smaller or do you just have large hands? Mine is huge compared to yours.
I wanted one until I saw how big it is. Damn, what a shame.
i nagged the only two at toys r us the other day. i plan on keeping one out and making the other one into a display with an led base. shits gonna be awesome
>>5336668
post results if thread is still up
>>5336702
i wont get around to it until after the holidays but ill definitely post it on here when its done.
>>5330926
Fuck Jakks. I haven;t seen ANY of this Nintendo stuff in England, ever.
>>5336668
I'm looking for an acrylic cylinder that I can use. You can probably guess how I wanna display it.
>>5337775
ooo neat idea anon
I'm assuming that they're too large to fit in the diameter of a soda bottle?
If you really look around, there are people who just have their kits sitting around unbuilt and have no idea what to do with it. Keep hope alive.
>>5337775
This might work, it's a little pricey just to display your Metroid though.

'Tis the season for plastic bobbles.
If you are near any large box store, i'm sure you can find one of these and use the clear, plastic packaging to make your display.
>>5337775
If you can't find a suitably size cylinder, make one by rolling some clear plastic.
Off-topic but related, but ughhhhh there's a Dimension Diver Samus kit on eBay but it's $300+ :| The last one that showed up on eBay sold for $100.
Anybody here willing to pick up a metroid and middle-man it for me? I'll cover price of toy and shipping.
>>5337775
I bet this will be on Jin's site within the week, he loves stealing ideas from /toy/.

Where? WHERE?
>>5340978
it's some kind of conversion kit for another action figure
>>5330069
There's a Jakks Pacific Samus in her classic Varia suit. The World of Nintendo series (same as the Metroid).
>>5327390
It's because the Metroid is already sucking his life energy
