Bring Samus Aran out of the Power Suit and into your collection with the figma Samus Aran: Zero Suit ver., based on her appearance in Nintendo’s METROID: Other M.
Produced by Max Factory, this articulated figma recreates Samus in her instantly recognisable blue Zero Suit, offering a completely different take on the legendary bounty hunter compared with her heavily armoured Power Suit releases. With multiple expressions, interchangeable hands, her Paralyzer, alternate head parts and the articulation expected from the figma range, Zero Suit Samus is designed for everything from relaxed character poses to fast-moving combat displays.
Samus Aran – Without the Power Suit
Samus Aran might be famous for her enormous orange-and-red Power Suit, but she certainly isn’t helpless without it.
The Zero Suit reveals the bounty hunter underneath all that Chozo armour and has become one of Samus’ most recognisable appearances in its own right.
In METROID: Other M, the form-fitting blue suit provides a dramatic contrast with her heavily armoured appearance while retaining the futuristic styling associated with the Metroid universe.
Max Factory’s figma recreates that design as a highly articulated collectible figure.
The Iconic Zero Suit
The bright blue Zero Suit immediately makes this figure stand out.
Rather than the huge shoulder armour and Arm Cannon of the Power Suit, this version puts the focus on Samus herself.
The streamlined design allows the articulation to really shine, making Zero Suit Samus particularly well suited to:
- Running poses
- Combat stances
- Kneeling poses
- Paralyzer firing positions
- Character-focused displays
- Dynamic action scenes
Without enormous armour components getting in the way, you can create a huge variety of natural poses.
Multiple Face Plates
Samus includes interchangeable expressions so you’re not restricted to a single look.
Change the face plate to alter the personality of your display, moving between calm character poses and more intense combat scenes.
The pre-painted facial details provide the clean finish expected from the figma range without requiring any painting or decals.
Alternate Head Parts
One of the most interesting accessories is an alternate head part with shorter hair.
This provides another way to change Samus’ appearance and recreate different moments from METROID: Other M.
It’s a relatively simple addition, but changing the hairstyle can make the figure look noticeably different on display.
Paralyzer Included
Without her Power Suit’s Arm Cannon, Samus relies on her compact Paralyzer.
The weapon is included with the figma and can be held using the appropriate interchangeable hand parts.
Its smaller size allows for fast, agile firing poses that look completely different from the heavy combat stance associated with Power Suit Samus.
Pose her aiming the Paralyzer while running, crouching or preparing to evade an attack for a proper Zero Suit action display.
Adam’s Helmet
The figure also includes Adam Malkovich’s helmet, providing an accessory directly connected to the story of METROID: Other M.
This is exactly the sort of character-specific extra that makes the figure more than simply “Samus wearing the blue suit.”
It allows collectors to create more story-focused displays inspired by the game rather than being restricted to generic action poses.
Interchangeable Hand Parts
A selection of optional hands gives Samus additional posing possibilities.
Use different hands for:
- Holding the Paralyzer
- Relaxed poses
- Combat stances
- Character gestures
- Accessory interaction
Combined with the alternative faces and head components, the hands allow you to change the figure’s appearance considerably without needing additional accessories.
Highly Articulated figma Construction
The figma range is built around the balance between appearance and articulation.
Zero Suit Samus benefits particularly well from that approach because her streamlined outfit allows the joints to move without bulky armour interfering with the pose.
The articulated construction allows for convincing movement throughout the:
- Shoulders
- Arms
- Elbows
- Torso
- Hips
- Knees
- Ankles
This makes her one of those figures you’ll probably end up repositioning every time you walk past the shelf.
Articulated figma Stand
An articulated figma display stand is included, opening up even more posing possibilities.
Use the stand to support Samus during:
- Running poses
- Jumping poses
- Aerial action
- Extreme combat stances
- One-legged poses
It also makes it easier to display Zero Suit Samus alongside other Metroid figma releases at different heights.
Pair Her with Power Suit Samus
Zero Suit Samus is an obvious companion to figma Samus Aran: PRIME 3 ver.
The contrast between the two figures is fantastic.
On one side you’ve got the enormous orange Power Suit with massive shoulders and Arm Cannon.
On the other you’ve got the streamlined blue Zero Suit with Samus carrying the compact Paralyzer.
Display them together and you effectively get two completely different interpretations of the same legendary character.
METROID: Other M
Released for the Nintendo Wii, METROID: Other M takes place within the wider Metroid timeline and places a greater emphasis on Samus herself and her relationship with characters from her past.
The story brings Samus back into contact with the Galactic Federation and Adam Malkovich, her former commanding officer.
Whatever your opinion of the game’s storytelling – and Metroid fans certainly have opinions – it produced a distinctive interpretation of Samus that translated extremely well into collectible form.
Pre-Painted and Ready to Display
Unlike a model kit, the figma Zero Suit Samus comes as a pre-painted articulated figure.
There’s no need for:
- Cutting parts from runners
- Glue
- Painting
- Panel lining
- Decals
- Hours of assembly
Attach your chosen accessories, pick an expression and she’s ready for display.
It’s ideal for model builders who want something new for the shelf without adding another box to the increasingly dangerous backlog.

Why Add figma Samus Aran: Zero Suit ver. to Your Collection?
The figma Samus Aran: Zero Suit ver. provides a completely different way to display one of gaming’s most famous characters.
Without the enormous Power Suit, the focus moves to Samus herself. The streamlined Zero Suit allows for a huge range of natural poses, while the Paralyzer, alternative expressions, interchangeable hands and character-specific accessories give you plenty of ways to change the display.
It’s particularly effective alongside a Power Suit Samus figure, where the difference between the two versions really demonstrates how versatile the character’s design has become.
For Metroid fans, Nintendo collectors or anyone assembling a Samus display, Zero Suit Samus is one of those figures that fills an obvious gap in the collection.
Power Suit off. Paralyzer ready. The figma Samus Aran: Zero Suit ver. brings the bounty hunter herself to the shelf with excellent articulation, iconic styling and plenty of Metroid personality.
