METROID Other M – Samus Aran Figma 133 Review

Max Factory's Figma figures are awesome. They combine high quality finish with easy poseability.

Samus Aran in her Varia Suit is an especially brilliant Figma because her suit is naturally articulated which makes Max Factory's subtle and elegant articulation system look completely natural. If anything, a non-articulated version of this figurine would be unnatural!

Hi and welcome to Otaku Pulse.

This blog is going to combine various aspects of otaku lifestyle, so expect to
see reviews of anime, manga, games, figurines and other related merchandise.

I strive to provide a passionate yet critical look at things. I love anime and I
think the broad and somewhat vague term otaku does apply to me. At the same
time, I am not a weeaboo.
As such, I will not be writing gushing, frame by frame, episode by episode
reviews of the latest moeblob anime but neither will I be hypercritical
about common anime traits which haters like to pick on.

Balance is the key. I hope to write fun and informative reviews without
spoilers but with enough information to help you decide whether something
is worth your time (and money) or not.
