UNBOXING | Metroid Samus Returns amiibo

I heard people complaining about the Samus amiibo when it was first announced. Something about it not being a very exciting pose or something. Plain and boring might have been used? I dunno, I don’t see it!

It’s such a great looking figure. If you’re a fan of the series, you should not be disappointed at all. And the detail in the armor and the cannon is great.

At first glance it may not look too exciting, but the more you look at it, the more details come out. All the different lines and lights in the armor, the vents and various plates on the back. It’s awesome to have sitting on your desk if you love Metroid. When you use it in the game it unlocks an extra energy tank, as well as Metroid 2 art in the art gallery once the game is completed.

Speaking of Metroid, this guy is sweet! In the game it allows you to reveal the location of the nearest Metroid on your map. Also, after completing the game, unlocks Fusion difficulty mode where you can use Samus’ suit from the Metroid Fusion game. 

It’s such a unique amiibo, I love the design of it. The squishy feel of it is what stands out the most and rightfully so because it’s so outside the box for amiibo, it’s great. I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.
