Alien Giger Maquette Inside Look

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Pressuming the arms are removable for packaging, a simple mod to move the arm back like this makes all the difference for me. Consider it ordered. Especially since I have the Aliens Warrior, and the 1/4 Queen Adolfo posted above.

A little Photoshop magic for y'all.

That looks so much better.

I wouldn't like any of those as a statue. Its funny how these which look ridiculous get a free pass.

If it were Ironman, or a Predator in those poses, it would look ridiculous.. That is the Alien.. It's unique.

Hey look, a moonwalking Alien ! ...I don't know about this one. I was waiting on the pics to decide between this and the Warrior but I think I'll go Warrior. It's not terrible but it's not wowing me either.

It looks like an out take from the movie where the guy in the suit is going muahaha!

Nice details going on with the sculpt but such an awkward, horrible pose. Totally out of character of the Alien. This has the potential to be great...pity about the pose.

The pose is very feminin almost like a ballet dancer. Such a shame SS
couldn't come up with a better pose.
The sulpt and paint on the other hand look excellent, if the pose had of been better this would have been a definate purchase.
I have the 1/4 aliens maquette and I think that is the better of the 2.
All you collectors know that feeling you get when you see an awesome statue?? It's that feeling that you instantly want it and you will stop at nothing to get it. If this alien doesn't have that effect on you and you have to think about weather you will buy it or not then SS has already
failed.

Someone PLEASE photoshop a Dracula cape onto that thing...I need a good laugh.

The pose really does kill it. I'm glad for stuff like this when I can't afford a piece anyway

Looks more like a Cameron Aliens type of pose. Doesn't capture the essence of the original.

I just wish they hadn't based the pose on Nosferatu. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the first pic (before I actually knew that that's what they based it on), and that's all I can think of when I see it now. Nosferatu.

beautiful sculpt but horrid, horrid pose. Too bad, I was looking forward to this one. I think I'll wait a bit though.

In my opinion, their smaller dio was better, mainly because of the pose. I can't stand this pose, it looks odd and too fluent and not Alien.

POSE = FAIL

I think it's funny how they were aware of the whole pose thing from the very beginning, and they thought it would still work judging by the nature of the creature... boy, oh boy, did they undercalculate that.

 

[abake]

As a huge Alien fan I was really looking forward to this and wondering how I was going to save to get one.
But now I don't have to worry anymore. The pose really does kill it.
The sculpt and proportions look great, after the initial viewings the only thing that bothers me is the dome, which looks a bit off.
Shame really, this could've been epic.

I don't understand all the "pose is horrible" talk. We already saw the pose. It's on page one of this thread. We knew what we were getting.

While I'm not thrilled with it I still like it and the details look amazing.

 

[pjam]

Well yes, but we didn't see the final prod pics until today -- there's always changes during production and no one really knew what the final product would be until now...

I think if (and that is a Big IF) the arms on this are NOT locked in a stationary position and can rotate on the shoulder joints, this piece, like silent surfer showed below, can take on a completely different effect.. and THAT might be cool but I wouldn't bet 800 on it unless I knew for sure.

Again, if this is true and this is it, I just don't know what Tom G and his team were thinking using such a counter intuitive, non iconic, non screen archetype pose. I'm sure they thought it would be cool looking, but it just baffles me.

I dunno guys. it doesn't look bad to me to be honest. Think this is going to be the ML all over again.

I think in hand pics will be the deciding factor. If I were an alien fan, i would get this.

 

[Minimodel]

Lambert kill

You d really prefer this pose??Cos this to me looks like he s trying to explain why he s been shagging her Sister.

The price tag is so high for basically a premium format figure. I was going to get this but with a price tag like that for 1/4 scale they can keep it. Was really disappointed with the statue for such a price. But the paint ampt is really great!
