Gallery: First 4 Figures' 'Life Size' Samus Helmet - The Ultimate Metroid Collectable?

If I am to believe the links, both editions cost the same... so why didn't you go for tue exclusive one?

Would absolutely love one of these. Will never ever pay £430 for one

@larryisaman same. The most I've paid for any of their statues is €80. They're great but a lot are too pricey for me. There's one or 2 I'm usually shopping around for to see if I can pick them up cheaper elsewhere.

lol, I expected the helmet to cost 4 figures. was not familiar with the comapny up until now.

@Daniel36 I don't know for a fact for this statue, but some of f4f smaller ones where they have a visor lit up etc, the leds are behind a plastic piece . So instead of a full resin sculpture, you'd have a chunk missing replaced with plastic or something. Either way, they need to hollow stuff out to put the leds in somehow. The regular one is just a big hunk of resin, that presumably will have less defects and problems compared to the exclusive. My Bowser statue with leds has them embedded in a see through resin, so I'd assume they'd do that for a bigger sculpture. The Leds don't work reliably tho.

@blockfight their 100$/€80 statues are great, but those are usually pvc, like their zelda ones theyve most recently been making. These statues that cost hundreds upon hundreds are night and day comparisons to those, made from resin, and hand painted. They're usually stupidly large and heavy, but atleast you get your money's worth, not really but it seems expensive lol. Their 300 range stuff is usually smaller but really nice.

I prefer the Other M design to the Prime one. That said, I'm not buying an expensive model helmet anyway.

@Damo don’t feel too bad, initially there was a price difference but Later on, they seem to have made it the same price but having said that, the regular edition are all sold out while the Exclusive Edition is still purchasable.

If have to guess, exclusive was too expensive for too many people so they all bought the regular and now they have too many exclusive sitting in the shelves and so they dropped the price to try to get rid of them.

@blockfight I’m sure there’s a ton of craftsmanship and time that goes into these things to justify the price but yeah, I could never spend that much on a piece of memorabilia. I’ll make do with amiibos haha

600 for a helmet? Dam, good luck with that

I was about to say I've never purchased any collectible helmet, that will remain true. I love this, but that price is #ridic

That is really cool. It's too bad I just spent the $642 I keep sitting around for stupidly impractical purchases.

Well 650, who really gives a …
You can go on a small vacation for that kind of money. Then again, we‘re gamers after all, aren‘t we?

I'd rather spend the money on a commissioned cosplay helmet that would actually be wearable and probly functional. And look cooler.

@huyi Damn, good luck with that dam.

The visor looks cheap, would have been much cooler if it was transparent.

@tylerryan79 Ya I did a bit of research into them before as to why there was such a difference in price with some of them. I'm happy enough getting the cheaper versions. They look great up on the Game Room display shelf. Some of the F4F designs are great, just wish they made more at the cheaper end of the scale.
