First 4 Figures

Metroid Prime Phazon Suit Statue

First 4 Figures have done very good things with the Metroid license, from the classic Varia Suit to the sexy Zero Suit Samus, but their latest creation leaves their previous efforts in the dark. Phazon Suit Samus. Being infected with a glowing mutagen has never looked so good!

The statue is crafted entirely in transparent resin, with over 25 LED lights incorporated to give it the unhealthy Phazon glow, and the who thing is mounted on a mirror base that ties the whole effect together. Standing at 11 inches tall, Phazon Suit Samus is very pretty, but also pretty rare at only 1,500 pieces worldwide, and pretty expensive at $224.99. If you've got the funds and are so inclined, hit up the order page immediately to make sure you get yours when they are released in early 2009. Hit the jump for two more pictures of this spectacular piece.

Latest by n/a: Too bad they haven't come up with something this bad-ass sooner. Metroid was always overlooked in the merchandising department. I think Nintendo should go crazy with a Smash Bros. line of merch. They can just make all more »

Buy a Life-Sized Snake Statue at Sam's Club

Sam's Club plans to sell what looks to be a life-sized statue of old Snake starting next week. Unfortunately he won't be available as a twelve pack on a shelf next to 300 gallon drums of liquid butter. No, you're going to have to bid for Snake, that Snake in particular because Sam's Club only has one to auction away.

Wal-Mart blog Check Out reports that the auction will kick off next week and that you will be able to find it on the auctions page by searching for "metal gear solid".

Any would-be auctionees?

How To Visit The Beating Heart Of Liberty City

We noticed that Gawker posted a picture of the beating heart of the Statue of Happiness in Grand Theft Auto IV's Liberty City, so Crecente and I saddled up to show you exactly how to make it there...and if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere. Read on for instructions, as well as a clip of Crecente and I embarking on a great adventure, in which he dies. Twice.

Statue Of Happiness Sits On My Desk (Not To Scale)

I received my copy of Grand Theft Auto IV today from Rockstar and tucked inside the box along with the game was this pretty damn cool replica of Liberty City's Statue of Happiness. Note how well it blends in with my other bobbles?

Tails Goes Bargain Basement

While I was out grabbing lunch earlier I stopped in X-21, a store that does a lot of prop rentals and has a ton of amazing old furniture that you could never afford. I went down to the basement to see if they might have a cheap desk chair that wouldn't require a bank loan and who should I see but our good friend Mr. Miles "Tails" Prower. He stood about three feet tall and with his tail was about three feet wide. I inquired as to his price and was quoted $300 which considering his size was pretty cheap. So if you live in the SF Bay Area and are looking to take in a has-been video game character, he's waiting for you at the corner of Valencia and 20th. Bring cash.

Latest by n/a: That Tails has been at that antique shop for at least 2 months now. It's a pretty cool statue and I kept wondering if it was maybe from the Sonic Team USA studio that is here in San Francisco. Only more »

Daiki's Spin On Mai Shiranui's T & A

It would seem that SNK's buxom ninja Mai Shiranui is popular with the Japanese gamer. Maybe it's the constantly flaunted T and A? That's just my theory, as I've begun to notice a trend in Mai's poses throughout her recent PVC incarnations. Max Factory took great care to expose both earlier this year, with Aizu Project being a bit more blatant about it. Now, Daiki Industry is giving it a go, artistically exhibiting Mai's obscene proportions with a nice arm shelf and a timely gust of wind. It's due out in March of next year for 14,700 yen (approximately $135 US) and will make for a nice centerpiece. Who's next?

More Mai Shiranui = More T&A

Wow. Who would've have thought lonely gamers would be treated to twice the Mai Shiranui in collectible form in such a short time frame? Well, word from NCSX is that The King of Fighters ninjitsu queen (who must have all of her bras custom made) will be coming in cold cast resin form this summer courtesy of Aizu Project. More »

The Fabulous, Limited Edition Kratos Statue

Sculptor Mark Newman was commissioned to create 100 of these lovely, blood spattered Kratos statues for the team that created the original God of War. Sure, this thing may be ancient in terms of video game news pieces, but it's—to borrow a phrase from Jaffe himself—fuckin' cool. These shots, including some pre-painted sculpts, were just recently added to the artist's deviantART gallery and are further whetting my appetite for the upcoming sequel and our pending interview with GoW2's Cory Barlog.

Clips: God Of War II Gameplay Video

While the clip is a little fuzzy, it does give us another look at some of the gameplay for the upcoming God of War 2. IGN has posted a bunch of new screens and hi-res videos, including some interviews and more gameplay. I've watched this a couple of times and for some reason, I can't keep my eyes on the action. All I keep staring at is that creepy statue thing that keeps peering through the windows. It really gives me the willies, like something out of an old Ray Harryhausen Sinbad movie. No, not Sinbad the comedian, Sinbad the sailor. Flynn De Marco More »

Revenge Of The Life-Sized Link Statues

Just when you thought we couldn't get yet another post out of the life-size Link statues, we have another one for you! This one is on eBay Australia, ships out of Germany and has a price tag of $1,199.00 listed in U.S. dollars. Or, if you prefer, you can pay the Buy It Now price of $2,499.00 which includes worldwide insured shipping. For some reason the buyer chose to tag the entry with such oddities as PS3, weta, and LOTR. I guess he figured once you rope a geek in, the rest just follows. More »

Giant Link Statue Spotted In Vancouver

Kotakuite Landon L. had read yesterday's story about Nintendo of Canada's life size Link statue sweepstakes and, I'm sure, desperately desired to have the stationary hero all to himself. As he was walking through the streets of Vancouver, he happened upon an EB Games that was displaying a giant Link statue right in their front window. Despite being hassled by employees for snapping this photo with his phone, he was able to escape down the street with his prize and send it off to us here. More »

And The Bronze Mario Award Goes To...

There is a ton of cool stuff over at the Video Game Memorabilia Museum, including this Oscar-esque bronze Mario statue. Normally adorning a marble base, this statue is, according to its owner, normally only given out in rare circumstances. These include "Nintendo Long Service Staff" awards, for those in the employ of the company for more than twenty years, and worldwide competition winners. Obviously, the latter is the easier of the two. More »
