LEGO Ideas Brings Metroid Love to Life with Iconic Samus Helmet Set
Metroid's Time to Shine in LEGO Form
It's no secret that Metroid, one of Nintendo's crown jewels, hasn't always received the attention it deserves. But that's all about to change with a new LEGO Ideas project that's turning heads and gathering support. This unique set, designed by RockMonstrosity, features a faithful recreation of Samus Aran's iconic Varia Suit helmet. With the recent release of Metroid Prime 4, the timing couldn't be better for this LEGO love letter to Samus and her enduring legacy.
Set Overview: A Helmet Worthy of Samus Aran
Composed of 253 pieces, this LEGO set brings Samus's Varia Suit helmet to life in stunning detail. The helmet, a signature element of the Metroid series, represents the power and resilience of Samus Aran, the series' legendary bounty hunter. Once complete, the set serves as a striking display piece that's bound to ignite nostalgia in fans of the Metroid franchise.
Design & Build Experience: A Display Piece to Cherish
Just like the Sega Genesis controller or the Star Fox LEGO Ideas set, RockMonstrosity's Samus' helmet leans more towards being a display piece rather than a toy. It's designed to be admired, with its perfectly chosen colours and details that accurately represent the in-game helmet. While the set won't take ages to build, the journey in assembling it promises to be a joy for LEGO enthusiasts and Metroid fans alike.
Theme & References: A Tribute to Metroid's Legacy
The design of the Samus helmet set is a clear nod to the Metroid series' long-standing history. From its iconic design to the chosen colours that match the original Varia Suit, this LEGO set is a dream come true for Metroid fans. It's a chance to bring a piece of the video game world into our homes and appreciate it every time we sit down to play, much like a trophy earned from conquering a challenging Metroid game.
