After the successful releases of the pose-able Link and Samus figurines (or figma) by Max Factory, followed by a rapid emptying of stocks and over-inflated aftermarket prices, the online retailer Big Bad Toy Store has announced that a new production run will occur for the following Nintendo ancillaries.

The same licensing issues that plagued the American releases for Link and Samus’ figmas have also been lifted for the Zero Suit Samus statuette, which also makes her available for official distributors, running at $100.
