It’s Samus Aran from Metroid! This is a complete avatar that comes with a HUD that looks just like the one in the Metroid games. This HUD has all the controls for eight chargeable weapons, plus missiles and super missiles. You can also use the morph ball and drop bombs and super bombs. The suit only comes in one color (the Varia Suit), but it is modifiable, so you can easily change it to your favorite (mine is colored like the Gravity Suit). …now, does anyone know where I can get a metroid pet?

If you’ve seen Princess Mononoke, then you are probably familiar with the little kodama spirits that appear in the forest. Now you can get your own set of five unique kodamas in SL! They fade in and make their signature clicking sound, then they hang around for a while before fading out and reappearing in a new, random position. Well, almost random. They are curious about any nearby avatars and will gravitate toward them. The set also comes with a set of kodama that you can program to appear in certain places instead of free movement.

An accurate representation of these cute little creatures, complete with sound and animation.

I LOVE this gadget. It rezzes targets around you and makes for some great practice. It’s better than just shooting at targets because these move around you, so you get to practice in a more realistic situation; your camera is moving around and you have to deal with any little bits of lag caused by the viewer trying to load new objects and textures that come into view.

It keeps score too, so you can see your progress with the projectile weapon of your choice. It’s so much fun as a game, and it improves your shooting!

You can make him big, sit on him with a friend, ride him, let him wander around, OR make him small, hold him in your hand, watch him explore, etc. etc. WOO! So fun!

From the instruction card: “…as a hand-fed bird accessory, free run, as a decoration, for two person ride(rez), to ride(wear), free run, as a bird sofa.”
