The Max Factory Samus and Link Figma action figures will finally be released in the US! Previously only available in Japan - and long since sold out in most places - copyright for these collectibles has been cleared, and they are on their way! The figures were distributed in Japan by Good Smile Company, but the American release comes through Diamond Comics. They will arrive in stores on October 30.

The Varia Suit Figma runs for $49.99 while the 12" Zero Suit Figma runs a cool $99.99. These are a bit more than the original Japanese release prices, but are well below what the Japanese figures are currently selling for. Link from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will also be available for purchase. You can preorder them from Gamestop, as well as other retailers, but there is no word yet on when the Pit and Dark Pit Figmas will also see US release. We will post new links for places to preorder from as they become available.

It has been just over 10 years since we last saw a Samus action figure in the US, and Joyride's previous effort is no contest for Max Factory. These figures are absolutely gorgeous and deserve a spot on your trophy shelf. Check the Metroid Database's Varia Suit and Zero Suit Figma reviews for more details. Let's just hope there aren't any shortages, but be sure to pre-order yours soon anyway!
