You would think at some point toys would start to lose their appeal, but I have discovered they just keep getting cooler. And more expensive.

Wow, that’s pretty hardcore customizable…badass. If this were a Mark V, i’d be all over it. Samus is pretty awesome though; you know a true fan would gladly shell out 5hund for this
Thats really nice looking! 500! whoa!
Okay so I was looking at the picture, thinking “they should have made the joint things rubber to cover the plastic hinges” and then “Shoulder, hip, and ankle joints are covered in molded rubber to preserve aesthetics while maintaining articulation” I was impressed =)
Wow, that’s gorgeous! I bet Nintendo themselves couldn’t have made a better one :D
So Samus is 6 feet tall?
Also – Kinda over the top.
I would say she is easily over 6 feet tall, depends on the height of the lady. Since she is a girl, I’d have to say she’s at the very most 5’10″-6′ without her battle suit. With her battle suit I’d have to say she’s atleast 7′-8′ tall. But I would give it to them and say 6′ is an approximate depiction of how tall our girl Samus is. Just my opinion though.
This about master chief, he’s like what? 8′-9′ tall. That’s big considering he’s not actually that tall.. I’d say he’s around 6′ and the suit makes him that much bigger.
How goddamn thick do you think that the soles of their boots are that the suit is adding 2 freaking feet of height to the user? Maybe if the helmet had some kind of enormous Spartan-esque frill coming off the top, but clearly that’s not the case.
