I've been a gamer for a long time and while it is true that I like video game related collectibles and clothes and whatnot, I don't exactly own much in the way of such things. Well okay, I have a small pile of Pokemon and Bahamut from Final Fantasy 8 and 10, and a scattering of Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and Mega Man figurines. Still, I don't actively collect video game related stuff. That said, I did trip over something on Amazon.com that made me squee...
Lookie what came in the mail today.
You have read my profile, right?
Sweet.
This sculpture comes from First 4 Figures. I'd actually seen preliminary graphic renderings of this thing long ago but had forgotten about it, only to rediscover it after its limited run had sold out. Disappointed, I figured I'd probably missed my chance of getting Samus in her classic Varia Suit (this is iconic Samus, other suits like the Light Suit are cool and all, but this is true Samus Aran). Then, late one night while browsing random stuff on Amazon I found her and she was mine, monthly spending budget be damned.
And yes, that is a picture of my cat.
