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

[SteveL]

I'd be fine with that...the weird finger bends are the thing I hate the most about the hands.

that's the part about this piece that bothers me the most.

that's the part about this piece that bothers me the most.

That weird finger bend is them taking the idea that the Alien has 2 thumbs on each hand to the extreme -- I liked the fact that the second thumb nevr actually bent like one in the movie - but this is how they sculpted it ... like the dude actually has 4 thumbs...2 on opposite sides of each hand -- I prefer the cm pose, but I like the finish and details on the maq

That said - I ordered themaq on the first day at sideshow since I had some points I could use on it, and I have the cm, so it'd be a nice complementary display...

New pics are up per the news letter. Looks good to me.

No ES yet.

 

[cloudy]

Finally pulled the trigger. Hope the product would look as good as the pictures we have seen so far.

 

[Chaosorb]

I'm waiting for and ES before I lay down $$$ for this one. Looks awesome though.

 

[Vaako]

sold my alien warrior maquette this week so my collection needs a new alien statue, maybe i'll buy this one but would like to see some in-hand pictures first

Looks to be 1250

 

[furystorm]

Was just coming over to post the edition size myself. Seems like a lot, but I'm still extremely happy to have this chap on order.

1250?

 

[FelMar]

1250?

 

[The Chaver]

Too high.

I'll pass!

 

[azurepred]

that's even more than the combined P1 maquette. Considering most hate the pose, this should be available for awhile.

A while ? This should be around for the next 100 years ! The Warrior is still available with an ES of 750 and a lot of people say they prefer that one.

Ha ha.. Yeah, I may get it if its around in a year from now. But I really want to is wait and see what Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" will bring us. Sideshow is sure to get the license. I'd like another shot at an Alien 1/1 bust from that film.

I have a 1:1, but the wrong one ...it's the HCG. It's not bad but nothing spectacular either. I did a dumb thing with this Alien maquette though. I ordered with the NRD of $80 and canceled later on ! I just didn't want to pay that much anymore for this piece. Dumb, I know ...strange thing is though, I noticed on my CC statement online that SS credited me $137 and I have no clue why. I'm not asking ! ...I think I learnt my lesson with this NRD crap.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Kay so, 1250 is a nono for this maquette? Cause I've been considering buying it.. I guess I can always wait for in-hand shizzle though.

 

[Vaako]

ES for big chap should have been 500 max , Alien is a popular franchise but this a very expensive piece so with an ES of 1250 this will be in stock for a couple of years

i'm still wondering why they changed the ES for the alien warrior from 600 to 750

 

[Darth_Pain]

I don't care what the ES is. I'm getting one because I love it. I might actually sell my Warriors and replace it with this one. I never was a big fan of the Warrior design.

 

[fuzzylojiks]

NO hurry to order this @ 1250 ES it will be available for a very long time indeed.

 

[Reaktwon]

Definitely keeping my order. I already have a nice spot picked out for it.
