“If you’ve been waiting all your life to see a 6’10 papercraft Samus Aran, today is the day your dreams come true and you’ll have to find some new dreams. Flickr user IAmThatOneGuy made this awesome Samus figure out of nothing but paper and glue. He used the Samus model from Metroid Prime 2, of the stellar Metroid Prime trilogy. Unfortunately, rolling this Samus into a ball would pretty much be irreparable.” But that doesn’t make her any less awesome.
