Metroid Prime First 4 Figures ‘Metroid PVC’ Sneak Peek, Pre-Orders Open Soon
First 4 Figures has given fans a sneak peek at its next collectible from the Metroid line-up: a PVC statue of the titular Metroid creature itself. The reveal comes ahead of pre-orders, giving Metroid collectors advance notice of a new item to add to their wishlists, though pricing has yet to be confirmed. The piece appears well-received based on the early look, though its worth will ultimately hinge on the final asking price.
Pre-orders for the statue open on 20th August 2026, with a $10 discount available for those who sign up to First 4 Figures' website beforehand. At 9 inches tall, the Metroid PVC is considerably smaller than some of the company's other Metroid range pieces, such as the 37-inch Meta Ridley statue priced at $719.99, suggesting it should be more affordable. Still, the range's cheapest item currently starts at $179.99, so the new figure is unlikely to be cheap despite its compact size.
In short
- First 4 Figures teases new 9-inch Metroid PVC statue
- Pre-orders open 20th August 2026, with $10 sign-up discount
- Exact pricing not yet confirmed, but likely costly
