Ok heres my take on one of the best female video game characters Samus Aran.

Used a Black Costume Spiderman from the marvel showdown line. Sculpted head, arm cannon, and shoulders. added some more detail to the arm and the legs. still retains all of its articulation, except for the head.

Awsome figure to make, and I really enjoyed it.

Cool beans, can't wait to see it. It helped having the video game. You can get a 360 3D view of samus.

That does look really accurate! I hope I don't get blasted by fans when I finish my 6-inch version with a slightly different look

Yea I apologize for the poor quality photos. I did talk to a buddy of mine who will let me used their digi, and I still got a few more customs I wanna put up as well. Heres the only side view I've got. I would take more pictures for it but I don't have it any more, its already been sold. Plus the person who bought was a hardcore Metriod fan and LOVED the figure. This was really a fun figure to make! well the shoulder articulation is a bit limited. I couldn't figure a way to have the shoulder armor to articulate so ii sculpted around the ball joints, and painted the insides and the socket black to hide it. So it still had half of its shoulder movement. I wanted it to be as perfect, and exact to the video game character as possible.
I am making another version of the figure, same scale, with a cool Lab base with a metriod in a pod, that you can take out. Still gettin the material for it.
Here are a few when I was still paintin the chest, so that part is somewhat incomplete.

Looks cool! How in the world did you manage to retain shoulder articulation? I wish you took a pic from the side so I could see.

Yes, please. Either get a cheap digi-cam or borrow one from a friend.
This looks like top notch sculpting work, but it is hard to tell. I'd love to see the detail.
