Alien "Big Chap" Maquette - Official thread (continued)

[blacklizard]

Should I jump In? If you are an Alien fan... Definitely?..
Kinda lots of money for me T.T

 

[alienhelm]

I like the sculpt, not bad paint app but it has nothing on this guy;





and a price tag to boot.

I'm skipping this and just getting that new statue they have. Got the exclusive on pre-order with the chest buster.

I'm skipping the new statue they have and just getting this. Got him on order with a dealer for about $100 off and free shipping.

I know he's Nosferatuish, but I actually quite dig it, and am happy to have had the chance to see this in person at SDCC. I do like the new Alien statue as well, but have successfully avoided ordering it thus far because I fear it would lead to buying more statues from the line. I don't love the pose on the statue either, so that helped stay my ordering.

And as for the Sano shown above. Yeah, that is droll-worthy. But alas, I have no more disposable income. A grand would be hard to part with right now for another Alien statue. But absolutely, that is a thing of beauty and I do envy anyone capable of ordering one up.

 

[furystorm]

This new maquette is making me love the Aliens maquette so much more. I can't wait to see them all set up, displayed, and lit in my Bestas come December...

Well, make that April 2012, I guess.

At least I only owe $300 on him still...

 

[furystorm]

Quoting and reposting for awesomeness!

 

[Sabres21768]

I'm actually liking this more the more I look at it.

 

[furystorm]

Me too! It's sick and disturbing, and I like the pose more and more. In person it was quite imposing. The little statues near it stood no chance of garnering my attention.

 

[playa7]

I'm with you guys.. At first I really didn't dig the pose at all really but, after staring at the pics every so often for a few months, it grew on me and now I wouldn't dare cancel my pre~order.

My collection would feel incomplete without this Chap standing in between my 1/4 SS Queen bust, 1/4 SS Warrior and also my 1/3 SS Dog. They'll look incredible together! I can't wait.

The paint app is killer too I might add.

On a side note.. I'm still debating on, if I really wanna pull the trigger on the Sano Chap also. The only thing holding me back is the large price tag for something so small. I really wish he sculpted it in 1/4 scale at least. I mean, I really don't mind smaller scales but it's the huge price that's hard to justify. Especially when Christmas is just around the corner.

right man a grand is quite hefty ... i understand the sano one is a beeauty, taking me a while to save for something I fell in love with at first sight and this si it ... so going to get this one and only this one but man i got too say you guys are kinda giving me second thoughts , no keeping my first option ...

1/3 SS Dog. They'll look incredible together! I can't wait.

ooo ... oh man I love this myself, got it on flex pay at the moment was ampt on it the first time i layed eyes on it .... but the sano one, that is probably no doubt in my mind thiat is the statue i must have.

... sideshow big chap .... second thoughts

 

[furystorm]

The Sano is an amazing museum style and apparently quality piece, but a very static museum pose. The Sideshow piece seems to be eliciting the Alien as he may have been skulking around C level of the Nostromo, and is quite creepy.

I agree..

This is an actual conversation I had last night with my GF..

ME: "Hun, check out this Sano statue!"

HER: "Aren't you already getting one of those Alien Chap statue thingys?"

ME: "The 1/4 SS one? ..Yup"

HER: "Why do you need another one?"

ME: "Because, the SS version looks like he's alive, like the other SS Alien statues I already have and this Sano statue will be my museum piece. lol"

HER REACTION:

 

[alienhelm]

... if you can get them both ! Both are wonderful pieces, luckily the Sano one you have till January but I suggest as soon as you can, reserve a Sano before they all get sold out

You're right.. She always overreacts when I buy my statues. She mostly nags about how much they cost, but after i open the box her reaction changes a lot. That's when she's like "Whoa! that's really cool!" despite the fact that she's actually scared of the Alien statues at night when the lights are off, that's when she's like ..

 

[alienhelm]

hahaha ... hey these things cost money . luckily my lady is quite supportive, she herself is a bit weary of the price but when she says the smile and grin on my face when i receive these statues, she knows it was a worthy spend. also she knows she can buy what ever she wants even if its shoes or clothes ... :

man loving this pic ...

... second thoughts ...

 

[Seanrm]

Hmmm....don't see the fascination with the Sano piece at all (and I'm in Japan!) - much prefer the Sideshow Big Chap.

 

[matt85]

I still prefer the Cinemquette. Still the 1 to beat for me

The Sano piece is practically the real thing, so...
