Believe it or not, this awesome Samus figure was made out of nothing but paper and glue. And dreams. Dreams of a tall white Samus.

He used the Samus model from Metroid Prime 2, of the Metroid Prime trilogy. Sadly, she doesn’t transform into a ball. Although that would be some impressive papercraft work. Try that with this figure and it will be destroyed.

The detail is pretty incredible and I have to say that this guy knows how to turn paper into something amazing. I wonder how much it cost him in paper. Besides paper cuts of course.

They could name it Ninpla. I only want 1% share of all your earnings in exchange for that name. You’re welcome.

Mario gets two bodies, but Luigi gets none? Come on guys, show the skinny guy some love!

No Morph Ball Samus?

Mega Man would also be a neat fit for this kind of toy. He’s good for like a hundred and one kits. Check out Ty Lettau’s Flickr page for more geeky art.

Even when you’re all sexed up in your Zero Suit, or Justin Baileyed into your bikini, you’re still supposed to be an icon of female strength and power (and just generally bad to the bone). But in amigurumi form, you’re reduced to abject cuteness. For shame!

And if that’s not bad enough, here’s the least threatening Metroid ever:

That thing’s not sucking life force–it’s sucking cuteness from the very atmosphere. Artist oddgumi ought to change that moniker to amazingumi.
