It's been a fair while since we last saw a new entry in First 4 Figures Metroid line but the wait was definitely worthwhile. Meta Ridley is ready to strike!

It was a very busy week for us last week. We've worked hard in our house for three days straight (we are remodelling) and went to Gamescom for three days after that. Why? Well, we offered to help out at the First 4 Figures stand. And man, am I knackered...  Edit: video added.

Customs, Preview / February 26, 2014

I rarely look at customs but sometimes, I happen to stumble upon them. And at those times, I'm amazed by what people are able to do. Just look at this amazing Mother Brain and Ridley from the game-series Metroid!

You'll probably have no clue about what I'm going to talk about now. Well, I found another wonderful artist!

I love shiny things and being a girl, I love jewelry. And what better jewelry then game-related ones? And according to You Jelly, I'm not the only one thinking that a Metroid would make a nice stylized ring.

A few months ago, I told those that follow us on Facebook as well that I was getting a baby soon. That is was on it's way. All the way from Japan.

I really love Nintendo merchandise. Especially from characters that I've liked for years. One of those characters already has a semi-nice statue but this PVC really blows that one out of the water! And all others like it as well!

If you think of Nintendo licences most likely Mario or Kirby will pop up in your head. But there is also Metroid, one of the most ancient series in the Nintendo universe. Metroid on the NES shocked many gamers when the end credits were scrolling over the screen. The protagonist was a female, which was unseen at the time and left many gamers with an open jaw staring at the screen. But if you think back and give this a very good thought you can only come to the conclusion that it was insanely brilliant.

One of the only companies that makes nice game statues is First 4 Figures. It's also one of my favorite companies. They made (and are making) excellent Zelda, Sonic and Metroid Prime statues. On of their earliest Metroid Prime statues was the sexy Samus Aran in her Zero Suit. That suit first appeared in the GBA game Metroid: Zero Mission where she was striped of her Power Suit. And I don't think many will find it a bad thing she was 'striped'...

Interview, News / June 20, 2011

You probably already know that I like to question people and since the previous interview with Pop Culture Shock went really well I thought about interviewing another company. I thought long and hard and finally figured out which company/artist/person was next. This particular company also makes game related statues but no Capcom. They made the Sonics I already reviewed and a lot more that's on my to-do list. Of course, these will be reviewed after my last exam. Still have to do 2. Hence the fact that I haven't posted anything for a while. Bugger... Anyhow, this time, it's First 4 Figures their turn!
