Man I really want this thing, If I can get this and the maquette, I will. But It will be a tough ask as money is tight currently. If I have to choose one though, I think the maquette wins, price depending.

Same here. I'm a little glad the teeth aren't chrome. It would make it really hard to pass on this lol.
 
Yeah! Chromed teeth are confirmed by coolprops! I have this on preorder and I really can't wait to receive mine:) So for the ones whose have seen this in person, what does it like? It is as awesome as in photos?? Thank you so much for your opinions, I know that transparent is accurated but I would prefer the dome a litle bit less transparent, like the dog's one may be...let's wait to see it in person:)

Me too I am doubting between the maquette and the new queen maquete from sideshow...I only have place for two statues and I really like the queen but...the bust + the maquette would be really awesome too...how much they will charge for it? More than the bust? I need more moneyyyy
 
Good news about the chrome teeth! :rock I still want to wait until the production photos are out. It's a lot of money to trust that it will turn out right.
 
And about bust+alien big chap statue? I believe is the best option, right?

The piece at SDCC looks beautiful. I don't think there's a better option out there, but I'm wary after seeing the paint on the Warrior bust. If this were $1200 I would have probably already preordered it though. $1800 is a big price jump.

Out of interest, what did you think to the CP maquette in person? in terms of sculpt, size and presence etc...

It's a nice piece. I don't know the actual measurements, but the size is good. It has a great presence and the detail is amazing. My only gripe is that it's a museum pose, and I'd like it to have a little more movement to it. I really need to see what Prime is going to offer before I make any decision about a preorder. I'll be honest, I was more excited about the bust than the maquette when I saw them together.
 
Cool props just added a sample production piece on Instagram, it's looking a little plain..

Do you mean that one?

"Our sample of Giger's Alien Life Size head was also on display at Sideshow booth of SDCC! #SDCC2017 #Sideshow #CoolProps #Alien #GigersAlien"

I can't see there thT it is a sample production piece. If it is that one, there is someone who has seen it right there and he said that it is awesome:) also teeth should be chromed. I think that it is because lighting conditions that you see it a litle plain.

If there is another photo, please post it:). Thanks!
 
It would definitely be selling better if the price weren't such a huge jump from the others. I know I would have jumped on it for $1200.
 
On Sideshow site. Probably due to low sales.
Thanks for your answer:) may be they have an exclusive version from japan (150) + the international version (850)= 1000 bc busts;).
Anyway, very happy that one from the 850 will be mine:))if at the end they make less busts. It is normal that at these prices, the editions are lower...not a lot of people will pay 2000usd or 2700€ for that...just the crazy ones like me...lol
 
Price is because they also have to pay Giger's estate for rights and ownership matters. Also, judging from the prototype I was able to see for real, the quality is way better than the other ones, so maybe they also improved their techniques and/or changed their factory for a better finish than the first heads and it costs more too... my 2cts.
Don't forget it's THE big chap too, so a lot of hype around this one for sure. :)
 
You are lucky to see it in person!!I can't wait to see new pictures from the wonderfest:). So, it seems that you have the alien nearbylooking at the bust sleepybee? I really hope that the final product, the one that we will get, would look as awesome as the proto is! Cant wait to see more pictures from the1:3 statue;)
