    Where is the guy on the lid from? Or is it an original creation? Either way, it looks very well done. Must have been an insane amount of stenciling work and $.

    She's Samus Aran, the protagonist of Nintendo's classic Metroid series. (Well, it uses her model from the recent Metriod Prime games, but sh'e still a classic character from a classic series.)

    I think you will find that the "guy" is actually a girl and the character is Samus; The main character in the Metroid Prime series of games for Nintendo consoles.

    I guess on closer inspection of the high res picture the waist is very thin and the face is kind of delicate, but there really aren't many other context clues to give the impression that it is female.

    From the little I know of the game, the character wore full body armour and a mask throughout the original game. It wasn't revealed that it was a woman until the end.
