First 4 Figures has used the official game files in order to create an extremely accurate recreation of the Phazon suit worn by Samus Aran in the Metroid Prime series, with pose inspiration taken from official Metroid artwork. The Phazon Suit is awarded after defeating the Omega Pirate and has a black and red color scheme. The original Varia suit model was reengineered to make the Phazon suit by casting it entirely in transparent resin, adding over 25 LED lights through the suit and finished it off by adding a mirror base which really shows off the lights. When the lights are turned off, an internal IC chip allows for the lights to fade out slowly. 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 Phazon Suit is highly limited at just 1500 pieces worldwide.

First 4 Figures is proud to present a new collection of models based on the classic Sonic the Hedgehog line, starting off with the 12 inch Sonic the Hedgehog statue.

Sonic is full of speed and attitude and spinning abilities that allows him to out-maneuver and stop Dr. Robotnik's evil plans of world domination. This Sonic the Hedgehog statue has been recreated from the official artwork from the classic games. The base of the model has been inspired by the first level in the first game, the Green Hill Zone, complete with a grass top and recognizable checker board base. Comes in deluxe full color packaging, hand numbered base, and includes an Authenticity Card which allows you to purchase the same number of the model next in the Classic Sonic the Hedge hog series. Limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide.
