The Bosses of Metroid

23 comments
This model is based on the Metroid series, and represents some of the most iconic boss fights across the history of this series. I wanted to represent Metroid in Lego, and I thought that the wide range of boss fights in the series would make for great displays.

At a total of around 1604 pieces and 8 minifigures, the set comes with three primary builds and three minor builds. The three primary builds represent large-scale boss fights. Each of these three builds have alternate builds, in which you can use extra pieces to create versions of these bosses from other Metroid games.

Ridley: Based of his boss fight in the beginning of Super Metroid. The display also comes with a side-build of the baby Metroid in it's capsule.
Alternate build, Meta Ridley: By replacing some of Ridley's parts, you can recreate Meta Ridley from his apperance in Metroid Prime.

Kraid: Takes elements from Metroid Zero Mission and Super Metroid. There is a platform to put Samus on, along with spikes on the ground.
Alternate build, Kraid (Dread variant): Using some extra pieces, you can model Kraid based on his apperance in Metroid Dread. The arena can be switched around to match how it looks in Metroid Dread, with a different platform and lava instead of spikes.

Mother Brain: Mother Brain is modeled after her apperance in Metroid Zero Mission. You can cover her in a glass case or break it open for Samus to shoot. Some Metroids come as a side-build to prevent Samus from reaching her goal.
Alternate build, Mother Brain (2nd Form): The form Mother Brain takes at the end of Super Metroid. You can take the head of the base build and use some extra parts to construct this apperance of Mother Brain. The powered up form of the baby Metroid comes as a side build.

There are three minor builds to represent other battles in the Metroid series.

Metroid Prime: The true form of Metroid Prime's final boss.
Raven Beak: Metroid Dread's final boss, arena represents Raven Beak's throne room.
Dark Samus: Modeled after the showdown between Samus and Dark Samus at the end of Metroid Prime 2 Echoes.

Alongside Raven Beak and Dark Samus as minifigures, there are 6 additional minifgures, each representing a different suit of Samus:
Power Suit, Varia Suit, Gravity Suit, Power Suit (Dread variation), Phazon Suit, Light Suit

This would make for a great Lego set not only because it represents an iconic gaming franchise, but also because it showcases dioramas that would be great for display and play. Whether you're a fan of the Metroid series or someone who appreciates displays of large-scale battles, I hope you consider lending you're support to this project. Thank you!
