From the ongoing CharaHobby this weekend in Japan comes news that Max Factory will be releasing a Samus Aran figma from Metroid Other M in Spring 2012. Unfortunately, there are no images of the actual figma yet, just teaser shots.

In fact, there are two Metroid: Other M based figures as the top image shows Samus in her armor while the lower image appears to show the lower part of Zero Suit Samus. This second figure is 1/8th scale, does not mention being a figma, is dated for the Spring of 2012, and will also be released by Max Factory.

Correction: This article previously combined info from the two pictures as being for the same figure. All information points to there being two figures. Thanks Valkyrie_Convoy for pointing this out.

That is awesome news, I cant wait to place an order on that. I don't think the Zero Suit will be a Figma though. Figmas are generally are only about 5-6 inches in height which roughly puts them at around the 1/12th scale, so I can only see the Zero suit being, more than likely, a complete scaled figure.

You are right. That second sign doesn't mention the word figma anywhere. It's a second figure that's being released in the Spring. Found the sign for the figma.
