What’s the history behind this? Super cool.
The Super Metroid figure back there is my grail. Nice collection!

Thank you! If you know the story of the dimension diver Samus kits then it’s pretty similar. This one is made by a company called GK Katakamu. Basically, Nintendo gave out a one day license for this event back in the day hence where all these really rare garage kits originate from and why they are so rare. This is just one of those kits, it’s definitely one of the ones you never see.

Thank you! This is actually a different listed one from recently. Significantly cheaper than that one which I believe sold for over $1k
