New: Metroid Prime Phazon Suit

By Shane | July 10, 2008

Available in the first quarter of 2009 from First 4 Figures, the new limited edition (1500 only) Metroid Prime Phazon Suit will retail for $224.99 and span 11 inches across base. First 4 Figures used the official game files in order to create an extremely accurate recreation of the Phazon suit with pose inspiration taken from official Metroid artwork.

First 4 Figures on the new Metroid Prime:

With the unique color scheme of black helmet and red visor, the Phazon Suit is awarded after defeating the Omega Pirate. Both Samus’ suit and gun are infected with pure Phazon. This gives the Phazon Suit an ability to protect Samus from the deadly effects of the deadly blue substance and shoot the Phazon Beam when standing in pools of Phazon. Just when Metroid Prime is defeated, the Phazon Suit is stolen and used to create one of Samus’ greatest enemies, Dark Samus!

We completely reengineered the original Varia suit model to make the Phazon suit by casting it entirely in transparent resin, adding over 25 LED lights through the suit and finished it off by adding a mirror base which really shows off the lights. When the lights are turned off, an internal IC chip allows for the lights to fade out slowly. The statue is hand finished and hand painted with metallic paints to give an authentic representation of the suits. Comes packed in a foam interior full colored box with a card of authenticity.
