The Chara Hobby toy show went down in Japan over the weekend, and stealing the limelight (at least from a video game perspective) were these two Metroid figures from Max Factory.
The Power Suit version is a small, posable figure, while the Zero Suit piece is a larger PVC statue.
It's rare that Nintendo licenses its properties to companies like this to make figures like this (when was the last time you saw a Twilight Princess action figure?). Normally it sticks to collectible statues or kid's stuff. Here's hoping this is the start of a trend where we can see more of this sort of gear!
