Alien Pile

[furystorm]

Now that looks good! Still a few concerns for me and I had to pass due to financial reasons, but may pick this one up in a couple of years. With an edition size of 1000, that should not be too hard.

Hia

Does it come in 1 piece or is it possible to dissasemble it .

The top alien and the tail in front come off, the rest is one piece.

Thanks for the pictures Nightwings. They really show just how much detail there is on this piece. It's a classic.
It's not that I don't like the translucent dome, but the contrast is to big. The dome is just TOO translucent, it should've been a smoked dome, like on the Giger mini bust for instance. And, I'm not entirely sure, but I remember seeing this piece with a darker dome before. Not sure if it was one of the original Japanese releases, or a fan recast - the Alien pile kit- that of course was custom painted (see EDIT).
Awesome piece, and I'm not going to cancel it, but it would have looked so much better if the dome were less see through. My opinion of course.


EDIT: here's a link to the Pile, the way I like it most:

Oh, btw: is the dome removable?

 

[Nightwings]

It's glued on but it wouldn't take much effort to remove it.

That version you linked is nice and there some variety there with the see through head and the solid one with the ridges. It would make a nice companion piece for this one.

My Alien Pile order shows as 'in transit to EU', so, I should have it in about three to four weeks...

Well sorry for coming off like a easily pissed off kid.
I would wont to hear why people dont like the statue, rather then just saying its no good. Just comes off like people being mean for no reason. So sorry If I can off like that

no worries.. it's just the dome of the top Alien comes off pretty strong. and to me; seems fairly enlongated..these second sets of pics look better.

Wow, thank you for the compliment! Surprised to see my version pop up here.

This was a kit I bought from Japan. You can really work many details that the pre-paints don't really capture. The cool thing is, the dome is a separate piece. You can glue it on or keep it removable, which is what I did. I also painted the solid domes on the pile to look like a see-thru dome.

A great kit/statue. Certainly a classic!

Are there any EU freaks around that ordered this piece? SSC charged me $64.66 for shipping alone, which seems a bit much. I don't think the shipping of my PF Thor was that high! If the EU freak's that have this piece on order would share the amount they payed for shipping, I'd appreciate it!

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

No EU freak around that got the Alien pile and can tell me the shipping costs?

Enjoy

got mine the other day. Sideshow did an excellent job packaging this thing and I'm happy that it arrived safely.

and in the spirit of the first post in this thread:

I've got it it, I like it because its quiet an unsual statue, something creepy about the way the aliens are all over each other, like in a nest or something.

Just ordered this from BBTS who have it on clearance for around $160. Been eyeing it for awhile and seeing that I had a $160 credit I did not know I even had I finally ordered it. Should be here in around a week. I'll take a bunch of pics I am sure.

 

[dedguy]

Tried to take some pics of angles of the statue you don't normally see like the back. This really is a 360º design. Cool stuff from any angle. If you notice there's also a "normal" alien thrown in there on the base near the top alien's right knee. The alien on the right of the statue is also pretty neat in that it's nearly a fully sculpted figure in addition to the one on the top.

That first photo above I took putting some saran wrap over the lens to create some blurring. It... kinda worked. Wanted to try it again, used some thicker plastic this time. I think it worked much better. This is done all in-camera. No photoshopping.

 

[Rotfish]

Gorgeous shot, right there!

 

[dedguy]

Scale comparison for those who are curios.

Forgot to put the tail back on. I always take it off when I move it. I'm scared to death of breaking it.

I've got the fewture models version for sale/trade if anyone's interested...
