Will this figure capture the subtle nuances of her character?
If you mean "Morph Ball" then probably no.
Still looks damn good though.
Nowadays, if someone came up to you and said "Did you know that Samus Aran is a girl?", your response would be, "Yeah. And?" But it seems to me that when Metroid was first released, the gender hadn't been made clear. Am I wrong in thinking that?
Anyways, yes a fully poseable toy of Samus in her armor (maybe a removable helmet w/ clear visor?) would be nice to have.

I'm really happy with this news. I don't think there ever was an action figure of Samus and this one seems pretty nice, I mean, the paint looks beautiful and, being a Figma, articulation and price should be just right. I will probably get one as a gift to my sister :)
