September 15, 2006 - With the instantly recognizable bulky round orange shoulder pieces, Samus Aran's Varia Suit has served the interstellar bounty huntress well. Her Varia suit, with the ability to resist even the most extreme of temperatures, has helped Samus on her quest of aiding the Galactic Federation in defeating the Space Pirates and eradication of the deadly Metroids. Throughout her mission, her suit has the ability to be upgraded. One such essential upgrade is the Gravity Suit, with its purple and blue color scheme, which allows Samus to walk underwater unhindered and often protecting her from acid and lava.

First 4 Figures is extremely proud to present Samus Aran's Varia and Gravity Suits, the first collectible statues in First 4 Figures' highly anticipated suit series based on Retro Studios' Metroid Prime game trilogy. First 4 Figures has used the official game files in order to create an extremely accurate recreation of the Varia suit, with pose inspiration taken from official Metroid Prime Varia Suit artwork. The suit series will include, but not limited to, Samus Aran's Light Suit, Dark Suit and Phazon suit.

Cast in high quality poly-stone, the statue is hand finished and hand painted with metallic paints to give an authentic representation of the suits. Comes packed in a foam interior full colored box with a card of authenticity. The Varia Suit is limited at only 2,500 pieces worldwide online and local specialty stores. The Gravity Suit is highly limited at just 250 pieces worldwide, only exclusively available through the First 4 Figures online store.
