![[Samus Aran - Gravity Suit] I have always loved the Gravity suit. To me the Gravity suit is her best suit, so I wanted to do something special for it. The first thing I did when looking at all the different parts is I decided to make her SM Gravity suit out of the DD kit. So what I did was cover up all the "lights" parts in her chest, shoulders and legs with putty. I also extended the chest, because the way the kit is originally makes it look to small and narrow. Then I thought to myself, "would it be possible to add lights in the kit? I would need a power source. Where would it go? How will I do it? How would I turn the lights on and off?" After thinking about it for about a week or two, I finally came up with the solution. I figured the best spot to add the power source would be in her canon. Its only fitting. So I dug out the canon to add the batteries and created a switch for the lights. A full review can be seen over at the "Shinesparkers" website.](userimages/customs/46500/46482-1.jpg) Samus Aran - Gravity Suit Metroidby VGMStudiosI have always loved the Gravity suit.

Born from the remains of Metroid Prime, the torn-off Phazon suit and DNA of Samus Aran, her demonic doppelgänger Dark Samus is ruthless in her attempt to spread the taint of the Phazon scourge across the universe. Made straight from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, in her most bad-ass form, Dark Samus won't stop at anything to consume the universe and her human counterpart.

I went for a mixture of looks, from 'Super' up to 'Other M'.
The helmet was a nightmare, I must of tried 5 times to get it right. The shoulder pads are from a ML Titanium Man, sculpted over and attached to the shoulder joints, so the figure can retain full articulation. Sculpted on chest,back,upper legs, knees, and of course the blaster, which started off as a pen top lid. The back pack/boosters on the back also have 2 bits of lego in them to give the right shape. Any bits you see painted greenish have also been painted with glow in the dark paint. I tried to take a photo of it but it just didn't turn out.
Will try and make some space pirates and a ripley at some point.
Here's hoping we see a new Metroid game on Wii U or 3DS soon!

![[Samus Aran] I know this isn't the first Samus, or the best, but she's my latest creation and will stand as the pride of my collection! I drew inspiration from Batman1016's Samus figure, though mine is made on the 3.75 inch scale and uses polymer clay and acrylics instead of epoxy and metallic paint, I operate on a pretty low budget. The helmet is actually a scratch build, a little ball of foil covered in clay, and though it won't fall off even if you hold the figure upside down and shake it, it's still pretty easy to just pull it off...but that can be a bonus, if I want I can paint Jean's hair blonde and incorporate a head swap gimmick. The figure maintains pretty much all of its original articulation, but she never was flexible enough to take on those "on one knee" poses that Samus is so famous for on the box art of her games, but I won't hold it against her because she's pretty much the lowest price point you can find and what she CAN do more than makes up for what she can't.](userimages/customs/31000/30564-1.jpg) Samus Aran Metroidby Wakeangel2001I know this isn't the first Samus, or the best, but she's my latest creation and will stand as the pride of my collection!

![[Psychedelic Caterpillar] Brilliantly-hued insect larvae found in Nintendo's 2002 Metroid Fusion Game Boy Advance video game. Psychedelic Caterpillars inhabit the Nocturnal (NOC) module (Sector 6) of the Biologic Space Laboratory complex in orbit around the Planet SR388--as the name suggests, this environment has little light, which suits the dark-loving organisms being studied there just fine. The luminescent markings of these arthropods are beautiful, but also potentially deadly: Psychedelic Caterpillars disorientate prey by undulating their bodies, creating cascading patterns of color across their flesh that can daze anything that stares at them for too long--once the target succumbs, the wriggling rainbows quickly move in to feed. While these creatures aren't particularly aggressive, physical contact with their antennae will result in a painful sting, which, aside from tasting horrible, is their primary means of deterring larger predators.

![[Sentinel Prime] During Samus's mission on Tallon Overworld she managed to find a suit upgrade known as the Phazon suit. During her final battle with Metroid prime which she defeated. The dying creature shot a tentacle into her and ripped the phazon suit from Samus. Minutes after the Phazon mine completely fell to rubble one thing became reality. A hand with an eyeball shot through the Phazon pit and stepped out of it. The blue liquid Phazon slowly fell of and the giant blackend figure stood tall. Tentacles grew from its body and phazon chunks glew in the dark caveren. The creatures breathing was heavy and it looked up. "Raghgggggghhhhgghgh!" The creature yelled out.
This creature was indeed not Dark Samus, but Sentinel Prime (Male counter part of Dark Samus."
The creature had more bulk and a rather large and just jacked up left arm. This creature sadly died and the Phazon pitt ate the corpse up to create Dark Samus.

I had my Grandpa cut all of his armor of for me and thin down some of the parts on his legs. Then I completely sculpted a new head for him and his shoulder plates, oh, I can't forget about his feet or his ice guns. I painted him with a mix of dark blue and a silver to make it look like there were particles of ice on him. Unfortunately it doesn't really show up in the pictures.

Straight from the depths of Tourian, I give you Mother Brain, the massive brain like super computer of the Chozo, an ancient, highly advanced race of bird-like beings that inhabit Zebes. She turned on her creators soon after the Y2K bug reset her neuron paths and altered her molecular impulses to bring peace and order to the galaxy by total annihilation....or maybe it could'a been space pirates. Either way, she's bad news for Samus. I made her to look like a cross between the Super Metroid art and what she looks like in the Other M trailer. I took liberties with the base because I wanted more of a display style black professional looking base that would bring out more of the "figure",

Incidentally, it MAY take a little time before the BAB gets posted . . . he's not finished yet, and he's HUGE. Don't worry though, I have some other stuff to post in the interim if I can't get him done. But that's a worry for another day. For now, let's take a look at Bounty Hunter Gandrayda!
Gandrayda was one of three competing bounty hunters introduced in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. An alien of unidentified species, Gandrayda is a shapeshifter, with the ability to change into forms substantially larger than herself. Though not very techno-savvy, she is a master of stealth and subterfuge. She, like her two associates Ghor and Rundas, is corrupted by Phazon and eventually turns on the Galactic Federation, only to be destroyed by Samus.
