Simple, they just politely requested the Uffizi Gallery to turn the painting around long enough to take a quick pic.

You're welcome.

Samus looks great but what I ultimately want is her in her Dread Gravity Suit.

I couldn’t care leas about the E.M.M.I.

Figma does weird stuff with their Nintendo licenses.  How many iterations of the Samus suit have they ignored that we'd all buy?  I am going to buy that Samus, though.  They absolutely nailed the look.

That EMMI looks like a pretty good figure outside of my thoughts on it as a "character" or the portions of the game that feature it.

Robocop 2 baddie as well.

Samus pre-order is up.  Steep price at BBTS.  2024 release!?!

Samus is up at AmiAmi (went up last night); 

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-145210

They are the only of the big three, HLJ, AmiAmi and Hobby Search that has a listing. The release date is October of next year so that would reconcile BBTS's release date.

¥12500 MSRP also sounds super expensive for what is included. Especially if the exchange rate goes down in the next 12 months.

Sheesh, it is $125 at BBTS? Good Smile US has it for $87: https://www.goodsmileus.com/product/figma-samus-aran-dread-ver-9210/

Do you have to pay up front at the goodsmile website?

If you use Paypal or Amazon Pay, you pay upfront. 

If you use a credit or debit card, you pay when the figure comes in.

BBTS is rarely the cheapest option, when I buy from them I just look to see how competitive their prices are to other sources.

And thanks for posting the Good Smile link, I didn't think to look at their own webstore.

$92.06 with shipping.  Best deal out there if you can wait.

I know that BBTS is rarely the cheapest options but that price tag doesn’t seem to be appropriate if your buying your stock from a wholesaler.

Cool, cool - no argument here. My point was simply that their price, appropriate or not to however they're sourcing it, or any other factors, doesn't surprise me. And that when I look at them, it's usually for the sake of comparison.

For GUYVER fans.

Figma #600 GUYVER I: Ultimate Edition
December 2023 Release
Y12800

Nice for those that missed out, I have the original release, this appears to come with a bonus head and that's about it.

I think it also has a new stand, but doesn’t seem too different. This is definitely for those that missed out on probably the best figma ever. The Tekkaman releases were great as well

Yup that base is fancier, the original release just came with the basic clear Figma stand. Fully agreed, awesome figures, I missed out on the old Max Factory figures way back in the day so I was hyped to grab all these newer Figma releases, Guyver 3 is fantastic!

My old one is still boxed up after the move, but I think they also textured the joints. I was looking at some old pictures of mine and they’re unfortunately hard to tell, but I think some of the joints around the wrist, knees and elbows may have been smooth and these may be different. 

[General Rasp]

If you pre-order through Goodsmile's website the base is a bonus, but you have to order through their website. I have the original figma Guyver 1 and definitely want to pick this newer version. The Guyver figures are probably the best Figmas made.

I definitely agree there. They’re a lot of great details and awesome paint application as well as a great use of the softer plastic to allow for extreme mobility. All that and a great subject.

Figma SP-155 Leonardo Da Vinci's MONA LISA
March 2024 Release
Y13600/14960

[Big s]

It’s a pretty good looking figma, but really expensive for me right now. I also kinda liked their JSDF soldier, but I really don’t want to pay over a $100 bucks for a figma that isn’t a must buy item. Action figures are really getting pricey these days

That's why I'm being selective these days. Like what I really want and has impact during my childhood. Besides, can't bring all of them on to the other side so there's no point of getting everything.

About effing time, Figma.

That looks good. I think it will look striking in color.

I wonder why we never got a BotW Link from figma.

Don't know but given how long it's taken them to get their Dread Samus out I'd wager we aren't seeing this thing until 2026 at least.

[Tking22]

I have every Figma Zelda figure so far, all the DXs, hopefully they do a DX here too, I definitely want one.

Metroid Dread E.M.M.I.

I was really anticipating for some Cyberpunk Edge Runners Figmas... instead they slotted them into pop-up parade line... 😔

I find it odd that you can order the E.M.M.I. from HLJ. They didn’t list Samus and I had to go through Anime Export. Did they just decided not to carry her?

I also find it odd that this robot is on the top of the sales charts at HL given that they never had Samus up for order.

Was it a new version of Samus? Could it be a web exclusive, I know there were a couple of past versions available?

Dread Samus was up on Good Smile’s own site a while ago. The first batch is coming out Q3 this year. There is a new batch (reissue) that just went up for pre-order and that is due out Q1 next year.

I wasn’t a fan of the colors, but now I’m curious about it. I looked at Hobby Search and couldn’t find a listing there, but did see the Goodsmile listing. Maybe it was a web exclusive since the only other place I found it was a site that deals proxies for web exclusives
