Metroid Merchandise – Alone Among Space Pirates
Quiet corridors, distant planets, and a heroine who needs no company: Metroid has been Nintendo's excursion into dark science fiction since 1986. Bounty hunter Samus Aran hunts space pirates and the titular Metroid parasites – and delivered one of the most famous twists in video game history at the end of the first game, when the armored figure revealed herself to be a woman. With "Metroid Prime," the series successfully switched to first-person perspective in 2002, while "Metroid Dread" continued the classic 2D line in 2021. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Metroid merchandise with a focus on figures and statues – display-case material for fans with a taste for well-kept isolation.
What sets Metroid apart?
Atmosphere over spectacle. Metroid tells its stories through environments: abandoned stations, overgrown caves, the constant feeling of being watched. This exploration principle – new abilities unlock old paths – became so influential that an entire genre carries the series' name in its title. And then there's Samus herself: one of the medium's first great heroines, whose suits, from the classic Varia Suit to the glowing Phazon design, have long held collector status. That's exactly what the merchandise thrives on – every gaming fan recognizes the power suit's silhouette at a glance, with the arm-cannon salute thrown in for free. Dimensions and editions of the individual statue are listed on the product page. And just like in the game, thorough searching pays off here too – some finds only reveal themselves on a second pass through the range.

Range overview
The command center is formed by the figures: scale figures render Samus's suits in large format, action figures bring poseability to the mission, and mini figure sets fit even smaller shelves. Since the series rarely signals new stock, the old collector's rule applies: when a wish-list item shows up, don't map out the whole planet first – editions tend to be limited.
More from the Nintendo universe
Samus's colleagues from Nintendo stick together: Super Mario covers the range's bright side, Zelda the adventure, Kirby the cuddly faction, and Donkey Kong the jungle. The gaming theme world delivers the big-picture overview across every game world.
