Both Zero Suit and Varia Suit amiibos are tragic looking, especially if compared to other amiibos.

The Animal Crossing and Splatoon amiibos are full of life and rich in details. Megaman and Waluigi are awesome too.

Why did Nintendo pay dust to Metroid?

EDIT:

Lack details and the painting is horrible.

Now look at this:

I mean the difference is clear. 👀

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Samus lol

 

[Leafhopper]

They are reflecting the feelings of the Metroid fans in figure form.

Sadly.

Although the Varia Suit Smash one looks fine.

EDIT: Sammy are you mad there is no Yokai Watch amiibos again?

 

[NormalFish]

You should try demonstrating what you mean so that other people can participate.

 

[theSlacker]

The original Samus amiibo is one of my favorites. Only problem is finding one without a lean because of the lack of support.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Varia Suit Samus looks fine.

 

[KingBroly]

Feel lucky they didn't have Federation Force amiibo

 

[theechrisfox]

They look fine.

 

[Owari]

Pfft the plural for of Amiibo is Amiibo.

Also yeah, they're terrible. Nintendo hates Samus.

 

[orochi91]

Varia Suit amiibo looks pretty cool tho

 

[Ashby]

Samus lol

.

 

[xochipiltontli]

I don't have too much of a problem with the non zero suit Samus's amiibo but its posture is so gross, she looks drunk.

 

[Darrenf]

I have the Zero Suit Samus Amiibo I think it looks fine.

 

[Zalman]

They were a part of the garbage Smash series. If Metroid eventually gets its own amiibo line, they will look way better. Guaranteed.

 

[LinkSlayer64]

All Animal Crossing amiibos have way improved quality over Smash OP, they're truly gems.

 

[10k]

To symbolize the state of the franchise.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Look like most all amiibos to me. That is to say they look like dreck.

 

[woopWOOP]

I thought the Samus one looked pretty good compared to some of the others actually

 

[Protome]

Almost all the more humanoid Amiibo look terrible. Especially the earlier ones, those original Link ones are horrific.

 

[Zekes!]

I have the Zero Suit Samus Amiibo I think it looks fine.

Same

 

[RootCause]

I disagree. They look sweet. They did have that drinking problem with the first batch.

 

[kunonabi]

Both of my Metroid amiibo look fine. They certainly came out better than most of the fire emblem ones.

The real crime is how few accessories the zero suit figma got.

 

[Japanmanx3]

They are fine... What are you off about?

 

[Toxi]

What's wrong with them? They look like their Smash Bros character art.

I guess you could complain about the Smash Bros designs, but the actual Amiibos look about as decent as those cheap-ass figurines can look.

 

[Mediking]

You don't even use pictures in your OP and this sounds like another bitter as hell remark about Metroid. For God's sake, this is turning into a freaking meme at this point.

 

[Soul Lab]

speaking of amiibos. why do we still don't know what the botw amiibos will do in botw? lol

 

[JimJamJones]

Why did Nintendo pay dust to Metroid?

Because it doesn't pay dust to the franchise in general.

I'll upload pictures when I get home.

They want to save being able to play as Zelda using her Amiibo for a Direct.

 

[James Scott]

The Smash ones are based on the Smash renders likely made before they knew they would become figures.
The armored Samus looks great and ZSS is well done as well, anyways

 

[Aostia]

They are great

 

[Maintenance]

Mine look fine.

 

[BorkBork]

I love my varia suit Samus. What's wrong with her?

 

[SystemUser]

The OP's problem is that he is comparing other Amiibo to Waluigi. Of course anything else is going to be disappointment when compared to Waluigi.

 

[KHlover]

brb using imagination since no pics

 

[-Horizon-]

I have both. They look fine to me.

 

[Ridley327]

ZSS seems fine for its size. It was obviously never going to be Figma-grade.

Samus, though, was definitely a victim of the laxer guidelines for Amiibo in the first wave, and unlike Marth and Villager, it never got a correction for the biggest problem (the gangster lean), and in general, tries to pack too much detail in too small a sculpt.

 

[GinoFelino]

Explanation is simple.

The humanoid characters looked terrible in the first generation amiibo. They've later learned how to scale down the art style appropriately, but unfortunately, there's no reason for them to make new Metroid amiibo just yet.

So the next batch of Metroid amiibo will likely look 10 times better than the very first generation amiibo that Samus was part of.

That said, I think the original Samus (not the skanky Zero Suit one) amiibo looks pretty okay!

 

[Trojan]

Pics?

 

[RootCause]

Both of my Metroid amiibo look fine. They certainly came out better than most of the fire emblem ones.

The real crime is how few accessories the zero suit figma got.

Marth was a disaster. Glad I was able to get a proper one the second time.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I think they both look great.

They have lots of small details and even Zero Suit Samus' face looks great.

Zero Suit Samus wasn't first generation though. And she look great.

I hope with get one with the Fusion Suit.

 

[TheMoon]

No they don't.

You're trying too hard, OP.

 

[Insaniac]

They look great. Nintendo however has stepped up their game with the newer amiibos.

 

[Berordn]

I like how they look.

I just wish they realized to give Samus supports sooner because armored Samus looks disappointing with the lean they've got going on.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

My Samus amiibo looks great. Not sure what you mean.

 

[phanphare]

I think Samus is one of the best looking amiibo

haven't seen a Zero Suit one in person so I don't know about that one

 

[aBarreras]

could you at least post pictures?

 

[SoldnerKei]

Varia Suit looks ok, but yeah, it could look better. Her Zero Suit thou... I hate the base plastic thing on her leg, like they could put the base below her boots and it would look 1000 times better... now that I think about it, that's my only complain, not so bad I guess.

But hey, at least it looks better than the F4F Zero Suit lol.

 

[JJH]

Samus?
