Nope, sorry.

I know I've already commented on this, but...It's ALWAYS amazing when I take a look at this.
You know, you should try the Varia Suit from Metroid 2 and Super Metroid. It was different from the Metroid Prime Varia Suit. Or maybe even the ORIGINAL suit from the original game. I have the images of it from the Nintendo Power magazine I got so long ago. Now THAT, would truly be awesome, I'd so pay money for that....oh who am I kidding I'd pay money for ANY of the ones you make...As I said this version so puts the one I bought to shame...it was such a disappointment.

I do plan on making other suits... just that free time is scarce.
Thank you for the complements

I'm sorry but I'm not selling anymore of this figure. But the average price was $800... all sold on ebay. I am currently working on other Samus figures/suits in different scales/sizes at the moment, so keep an eye on my gallery.

Do you make custom action figures by commission and do you make ones that are posable?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I do commissions and yes I can make posable ones. Send me a note with details and I can get you a quote.

I have a question I have been wanting to make some figures of my own characters but, how did you do the articulation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I saw the Flikr stuff and looks like you made a mold of dowels for the joints and then used them to make molds for sockets? pretty creative I assume that it was made with smooth-on mold materials as well? anyways whatever you did it looks Awesome!! I'm sure whoever got them was very happy customer

I have a question I wanted to ask: What were all the tools you used to make this figure?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use various dental picks for the sculpting on wax and oil based clays. Silicone rubber molds and casted in resin. Painted with acrylic paints. Tool wise... everything. Everything is a tool to me. I have so many tools you can't even imagine. Can't possibly list them all.
