The impossibility of knowing what is in the database – not only due to the lack of access but also due to the sheer physical impossibility on the part of humans to sift through all the data.

I love this picture for my facial expression. I don't really know what emotion I was going for, but I like it.
pent my usual quality time with a figure, in this case the newly released Metroid Dread Samus Aran. I remember a few weeks back, someone was saying they were considering returning their copy. Not something most of us would consider, especially knowing that getting this down the road would be a right pain in the ass, but I think I understand why.
So mine came from Amiami, and it's an extra fancy Figma as it comes in a slip cover. I don't know if this is the exclusive to Amiami part or not, as the inner box is your typical release in terms of box deco.
Having said that, upon opening of the box, you'll notice that this figure is pretty light on the accessories, like it's predecessor. I mean it's functional, but you're basically getting two extra hands, Morph Ball effect, a magnetic plate to simulate wall hanging, and an alternate arm cannon (whatever the name of the mode is where you blast the EMMI).
The suit is a rather drastic change from most of its predecessors (with the only other major change I can think of being the Metroid Fusion suit) and the colours are clearly different. So aesthetically, if you're into that classic Samus look, this isn't the right one for you. Then, if you're already iffy about the way the suit looks, you'll probably wish the set came with some sort of blast effects, or maybe some Morph Bombs.. something.
Having said all that, there has been some significant design improvements since the Metroid Prime 3 version was released, and that basically centers around articulation. Pretty much every aspect of the body has been given an upgrade, though there is ab crunch but stubbornly no waist swivel or back arch. Shoulders feature butterfly joints and clearance to get a high degree of articuation despite having those shoulder pads. Pull down hips are accompanied by lower thigh rotation and fully articulated ankles (even if the boots don't look like they can move). Even the neck/head have some pretty good articulation despite it's weird shape, though the Metroid Prime 3 version had more clearance to work with. Elbows remain single jointed.
Perhaps one of the least talked about aspects of this figure is that I'm pretty sure it has more actual paint apps than the Metroid Prime 3 or the Other M figures. There are of course some paint flaws, but nothing I'd lose sleep over, much like pretty much the rest of the Figma catalog.
Build Quality is generally quite good, but the arms on my figure like to keep popping off at the bicep. Easily returned to service, but kind of annoying when posing.
The No Limits Bike Racing Championship made its formal Return to the World Famous Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit for a Very Special 8 Hour Endurance Race.
Each and Every Team Had a selection of High Powered Racing Machinery that would along with the Rider take on the Might of Brands Hatches' Grand Prix Circuit for a Gruelling 8 Hours Straight.
While Some Teams had as many as Four Riders to make the job a Little Bit Easier other Teams Had decided to go with just Two Riders for 4 Hours Each knowing they Had the Skills and Determination to Keep Racing Hard.
The Championship was in is Last Race of the Season here at Brands and Whoever Won this Final Event would take the No Limits Bike Racing Championship Crown.
Qualifying was up First and setting the Pace at the Top of the Timings was (Andelle Leathers / RatMally Graphic) on their Kawasaki 998/Kawasaki 1000 Racing Bikes with an Incredible Time of 1.31.846 and a Top Speed of 95.37 to take Pole at The Start of the Race.

With Qualifying Over and a 11:46am Start Fast Approaching all of the Riders to head out for the First 2 Hours. Just like Old School Le Mans the Riders all Lined Up on the Opposite Side of the Pitlane with their Respective Teams Holding onto the Bikes Ready for them to Blast off into the Distance around the Circuit.
A Loud Bang from the Calcian Signalled the Start of an 8 Hour Endurance Race and each Rider Ran Towards their Bikes Fired them Up and Set off onto the Race Track.
During the First Hour All Riders Made it through the First Opening Laps without any Problems and already many of them were getting up to Speed while some other Riders Preferred to nurse their Machinery for the First Hour to Avoid anything Breaking or Failing on thease High Powered Machines.
As Hour two Approached Everyone was still going strong and The Riders were Each Getting into a Really Good Rhythm of the Grand Prix circuit while other Teams had opted to Head to the pits to swap Riders and Give themselves more of a chance to take Victory with a selection of different Talents and Bikes available.
The Start of Hour Three saw a lot of Different Battles Going on thought the field and on the Back Straight there was some Close Wheel to Wheel Action Between Every Rider traveling at Speeds close to Nearly 100mph. Some Riders were Pushing so Hard that Even their Front Wheels Rose into the Air Making for some Epic and Thrilling Moments. An Overtake by Rider Number 97 on 36 was the Highlight so Far.
Hour Four and Still Each Rider was not Giving Up on the Chance of Victory with Half of the Endurance Race Completed by Now it was Time for Another Rider Change and with Many Teams Heading for the Pits Once Again Each New Rider Ventured Out onto the Brands Hatch GP Circuit it Beautiful Sunlit Conditions Although thease Must Have Been Playing Havoc with the Visibility for the Riders. Non the Less After Just One Retirement Earlier Due to an Engine Fire and a Marshall that should Have Really Been More Prepared. the Remaining Riders Soldered on.
The Fifth Hour was now Upon them and after a Very Hectic and Fast set of Laps Earlier Many Riders were setting down into their Positions to make sure the Bike they were on would Survive to the End. Druids was a Place to witness some Incredible Overtakes During this Time with the Light Levels Lowering and The Riders Really Looking like they were Pushing Hard and Encouraging their Machines to solder onto Victory.
Hour Six and with the Light Levels Now Falling even Lower it looked like this Endurance Race would be Ending in Nearly Dark Conditions as the Rider Kept on Going. The Few Retirement's Earlier on during Hour 2 and 3 were now just a Memory in the Surviving Riders Minds who all had One Goal in Mind. Get This Bike to the End of The Race.
Hour Seven and by now the Light was Nearly all But Gone with the Last Rays of Sunshine Disappearing Entirely from the Tops of Druids and yet Despite this now disadvantage i terms of Having a lot less light The Riders Still Continued to Push Hard and Fight their was To Victory in the Closing Stages as the Race Reached its Climax.
The Final Hour was Finally here and Every Rider who Had Been Concentrating Hard all Day was Now in a Position to Push Hard for that Final Hour of Glory that would mean the Difference Between either a Race Victory or a Race Loss. As The Minuets Slowly Ticked Down and The Last Light of Day Had been Long Extinguished from the Circuit. it was the Team of (Delkevic Racing's Liam Marchant / Gary Johnson / James Edwards and Luke Scott who took a Resounding Victory after 232 Laps and a Gruelling 8 Hour's of Racing 2 For Each of The Riders.

In my third photograph, I have portrayed the "knowing phase" (Eve's banishment from the garden, Persephone's transition to the Underworld, Au Co's inability to return to the heaven's) by showing myself now dressed in red. I am walking down a path leading out of the garden, with the trees behind me. I wear a black veil to signify the mourning of the innocence that has been lost. At the same time, I have my gaze and one foot forward to show that I have to move on now. I am still living life, but it is with the knowledge of what I have “tasted.” I can no longer dance in the garden, but rather must move forward out of the garden to experience what lies beyond. In my new surroundings, there is beauty in the green of the shrubs, but there is also harshness in the sprawling cacti. Although life on this path may not be perfect, perhaps it is a more full and less sheltered experience than life in the garden.
The four hour trek with casualties and blind folds.... great realizations I am sure!
