VERY cool!! I like how it's not entirely Samus or not entirely Xevox, but a perfect mix of both. When you first mentioned the bounty hunter in another thread, I was expectiing something very similar to what the character looks like. I'm not dissapointed at all though. Excellent work.
Out of curiosity, was it your intention to have the custom look the way it does from the start, or did you think about sculpting at one point [to get a closer look to the original]?

Fox - I guess I could have tried to use a lot of sculpey or plumbers epoxy to make the figure dead on but I'm not a big fan of that kind of use stikfas or Xevoz as a frame build it up customization. I always intended it to be a tribute using certain design elements of the character but to not lose the distinct Xevoz look of parts. Even without using much sculpey (except to fill in some cracks) I still had to alter 8 of 20 parts needed to make the figure. To me the altered character still has to be able to work into my personal xevoz lore and has to reflect the unmistakable look of the xevoz building system we've all grown to love.
Godzilla - Feel free to make your own version. I'd love to see a helmetless version or a jumpsuit version but that last one would take a customizer more tallented that me since they didn't make anything even close to that body type a sweet custom like that would require.
Thanks Yakko - it was a gradual process of trying to find parts to alter and give the general feel of the intended character without it being a direct translation.

it seems a altered hemo goblin head with ponytail would fit samus's image perfectly

Very cool. I didn't know who/what Samus was before I saw your custom. So I looked it up and I think you did a great job in combining both. Even tho Xevoz never had a female character, your's has a feminine quality (as in I could so easily kick your @$$) to it.
More to come?

Awesome! I don't know the character well either, but the custom is excellent.

I was never a fan of the Metroid games, but I am familiar with them, and your custom is spot-on in my book.
Hooray for the new custom from SS!
It was definitely well worth the wait.

Honestly, I've never been happy with this custom. I don't like the paint colors I chose and the body looks way undersized and scrawny in places. I recently added 17 new accent parts to bulk up the body of the model and give the custom way more cool detail. I also reprimed the whole thing. I'll be eliminating the black this time as I just don't think it worked last time around.
