1/6 aliens not from hot toys?

[Yodasodabo]

Hey, I really want to get a 1/6 alien figure but I'm not down for paying the hot toys price, especially with problems they have with age. I was wondering if there were any other 1/6 aliens like maybe from Neca or Mcfarlane that would have the accurate height next to a hot toys pred.

Nope......

 

[Yodasodabo]

Nope......

Really? I was looking into the mcfarlane 12". So you're saying not even the hot toys aliens are accurate height? I mean it don't gotta be super accurate.

HT aliens are accurate in height. There is the medicom RAH alien which has more articulation and is 12 inch so its like 1/7 scale size but might look fine to the HT pred. I think its price is still up there 150+

 

[LipSmack]

Hot toys is as good as it gets, I dint really know what kind of answer youre looking for

 

[Yodasodabo]

So no one recommends the mcfarlane 12"? Lol

 

[LipSmack]

Why would they? It sucks compared to the HT versions... Which also suck, but if all youre looking for is someone to agree with you then just buy it

 

[Yodasodabo]

You mad bro? lol jk thx anyway I'll just wait it out, maybe a cheap one will pop up one day.

 

[BugStomper]

I’d personally wait. If you must have one to go with your preds find one from HT you really and I mean Really like and bite the bullet. Problem right now most cost more than they are worth and who knows if there will be a 2.0

as an owner of HT and Mcfarlane aliens i have to say the HT aliens suck hard. they break all over and the rubber is prone to cracking. the mcfarlane grid alien has a weird pose but is more solid and big (its definitely not underscale) and the mcfarlane giger alien is nice but i suggest gluing the cut joints on the upper legs as they are ugly and can get loose. less posable but still nice are the Tsukuda hobby alien resurrection alien warrior and newborn alien both at about 14-15 inches tall. kotobukiya AvP alien is slightly small but looks great. i dont recommend HT at all unless they re-do the aliens better at a later date

 

[Yodasodabo]

Awesome, didn't know about those other brands and was looking into the mcfarlane and neca preds you mentioned. Ill have to check those other ones out

I can see them doing the aliens from the upcoming Prometheus sequel.

My favorite posable 'Alien' (e.g. Big Chap) figure would be the Medicom 12 inch. I say 12 inch because it is that measurement and NOT 1/6 scale. I have the Hot Toys as well which is very substantial but and you will be more than happy with it if you want a representation of the Alien but if you are looking for 'movie accurate' sculpt I think the Medicom comes much closer to the spirit of the Giger design. Compared with the silly money I had to pay for the HT in second hand market I'd say the Medicom was a steal.

I ended up getting the newer sideshow ~1/5 scale statues and decided to sell my HT figure. The HT ones are nice, but I decided to go with the non poseable option and list my HT one in the sale section. I don't think there is a better 1/6 action figure made so if that is what you want you can buy a HT or wait and see in a few years if a better one is made.

also the kenner/hasbro 12 inch alien from the 'alien vs predator' 2 pack is a secret diamond in the rough. its actually a pretty good dog alien sculpt (minus the clear dome). with some decent paint you got an awesome dog alien https://pegasus-shop.com.br/image/c...lien-vs-predator-set-kenner-a4423-500x500.jpg

I used to have the McFarlane action figure. It is nicely detailed but it still falls into the category of a 12" action figure rather than a 12" collectible. Its still a cool piece. Yes, I recommend it for what it is.

Got the McFarlane Alien today, ordered it from ebay and got a pretty good deal I think, 80 dollars for it MIB, I'm pretty impressed with it considering its from the mid 90's, scale seems pretty nice, I haven't measured it yet but it looks to be around 14 inches tall, I'll take some height comparison shots soon, but as you can see he nearly touches the top of the detolf as is.

 

[S. Griffin]

It's actually from the mid '00s. I have the 9" one and still like it well enough. Doesn't look like the bigger version has the translucency going on, but maybe that's just not coming through in the pics.

Your right, I just took a look at the box and its from 2004, it does have that translucency that you speak of but its not showing up in my pics like you said, I will do a video review in a day or so to showcase the figure properly but for now here's a few pics for height comparison for those that's interested. I would say the scale is passable but it could stand to be an inch or so taller, also consider the pose isn't standing strait up.

Standard height 1/6 scale figure

Next to Robocop

Next to Marty Mcfly

Next to Neca Aliens Warrior

Next to Titans Aliens Mini Vinyl figures

The HT Aliens are no good, they're old now and those figures don't survive time like the rest. I hope we get an updated version of the original alien at least
