Bandai Spirits Unveils Diecast Metroid Prime 4 Samus Aran Varia Suit Model for Nintendo Fans
With the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 4: Beyond now officially announced and set to join the revered Metroid franchise, Nintendo fans worldwide are celebrating both the return of Samus Aran and a wave of new merchandise.
Bandai Spirits, the renowned collectibles and model manufacturer, has released details on their latest diecast figure: the Samus Aran in Varia Suit model, a must-have for dedicated Metroid collectors and Nintendo Switch enthusiasts. Set to stand an impressive 21cm tall, the intricately designed diecast model captures Samus Aran in her iconic Varia Suit, referencing her appearance from Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
Enhanced by carefully placed LED lights that highlight signature features such as Samus’s powerful arm cannon, the figure promises both display-worthy craftsmanship and functional poseability, with a host of movable joints so collectors can pose Samus in their favorite action stances from the storied Metroid series. Bandai Spirits shared that the diecast Varia Suit figure will require batteries for its lighting features, creating a dynamic visual impact for collectors’ shelves.
Notably, the figure’s official retail price is set at 30,800 yen—roughly £148 or $198 at current exchange rates.
For now, pre-orders are exclusive to Japan, available via the official Nintendo website and Bandai Spirits’ own storefront. In a statement to press, Bandai Spirits expressed their excitement about delivering a high-quality Metroid collectible, emphasizing that their detailed craftsmanship seeks to honor both the legacy of Samus Aran and the anticipation surrounding Metroid Prime 4’s arrival on the Nintendo Switch. While international fans may feel left out for the moment, it’s likely that, as with past Bandai Spirits releases, the model will become accessible through import retailers and broader online vendors.
The Samus Aran Varia Suit diecast is currently slated for release in May 2026, giving fans plenty of time to secure their pre-orders and plan their collections. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond stands as one of the most anticipated Nintendo Switch titles in recent memory, continuing both the narrative depth and gameplay innovation the Metroid franchise is known for.
With over 840,000 YouTube subscribers eagerly tracking Samus’s next adventure and collectibles such as this diecast model fueling continued excitement, the Metroid legacy remains as strong as ever for Nintendo and its global community. Stay tuned for further updates on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, collectible announcements, and all the latest from Nintendo Direct as the 2026 release window approaches.
