First 4 Figures has announced a new Metroid figure, Samus' gunship from Metroid Prime. The figure can be tilted up and down on its base and features LED lights for the cockpit, engines, and gun batteries (F4F says the ship "is equipped with twin Power Beam turrets and a retractable rear-mounted Plasma Beam cannon," none of which are ever used in the games). I must say the model looks more impressive than the Metroid Prime 2 gunship, mostly due to its greater detail and articulation. F4F based the model off the original game files from Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime Hunters. Priced at $299 (through either a single payment or three monthly installments of $100), the ship should be available sometime in the second half of 2011. Like all F4F figures, these are limited to 750 figures and are individually numbered.

Until next time...
