    Default Metroid Figure RARE?!?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/GamePro-Samus-fr...QQcmdZViewItem

    Is this guy just trying to screw people, or is samus really that expensive?

    while we're on the subject, does anyone know where to find good Video-game figures (besides Joyride Studios, I mean)

    I don't care how rare it is, it's quite ugly.
    Any figure that has to switch heads to
    take off the helmet also loses my interest

    It's probably rare because nobody wanted it, the detail (or lack of) is just horrible.

    Yeah, I'm after a real nice model of Mai Shiranu to go on the shelf with all the KoF games. Any ideas?

    I think its pretty cool, but if its from gamepro why does it have a big nintendo power logo on the box? and $200 is fucking insane

    it was a very hard figure to find, that price isn't that unreasonable, though I woudln't pay it.

    I'd say it's a cheap chinese repro.

    That is an extremely unattractive Samus...I didn't even think that was possible.

    Mine is on my Gamecube shelf. I wish I hadn't opened it now. It is quite a crappy rendition of Samus.
