the choice to include butterfly joints in a budget figure but no bicep swivel astounds me. much simpler, cheaper, more important point of articulation that would have been far more useful for getting into samus's iconic blaster pose, and they leave it out. I really just don't understand how a decision like that gets made.
I like the figure but one thing that's a bit annoying is that the Phazon suit is a recolor of the Varia suit from Metroid Prime 1 but the sculpt on this figure is still based on the Varia suit from Metroid Prime 2 Echoes which has some slight diffences in design. Not to mention that the morph ball should be different as well since by the point you get the Phazon suit in the game you also have the spider ball upgrade which changes the design of the morph ball. It's not a huge deal but it's still not accurate.

What are the differences actually in curious
@@bluechips5042 The shape of the helmet is slightly different and the circles with lights on her thighs and ankles are different also.
Is this evil/Dark Samus?
No, it’s the phazon suit
Incredibly disappointing that they didn’t make a new Metroid prime 1 mold for this
