So what's the best Alien figure out there? HotToys 16"? Is it worth the price?

 

[Socko]

This thread is HUGE!!!!!

The hottoys alien is worth it. It feels and moves awesome.

And it looks cool too.

I've the brown one

Just because of that.. you won't get the base.

I'm a little disappointed with the paint on Grid. The images on HT site look better. The blood should be more yellow than green.

yes, grid turned out quite crappy...

i wonder how many of you leave your alien jaws open... whenever i do that for a long time, the cheeks get stretched too much. scary

Looks like they just slapped some paint on the regular warrior. The dome doesn't have the cross-hatched etchings from the Pred's netting like in the film. That's disappointing. Even the McFarlane 12" had the netting etched in. Glad I passed on this.

Yeah, I'm afraid of that happening too.
Maybe if I had like 6 of them, I'd leave 1 open.

actually the dome does have the grid carved on it, but it's quite fine and you won't notice unless you look closer

 

[dekadentdave]

Could you post a close-up of the dome please?

 

[-=LoneWolf=-]

the finer lines are the etched ones...

The only inaccuracy I can find on these is that the head design (under the clear dome) isn't the same as in the movie.

Not too much of a big deal though.

and i think the head is shaped after Alien 3 (except the back portion which is accurate). in Resurrection and AvP, the dome was steeper in front, sharper at the top, and the chin juts out more. mcfarlane nailed the shape with their Resurrection warrior...

I'm not sure, but I think the AvP aliens didn't have the fifth spike in the back.
