Ill probably pass on the Alien for this one man. Its way more unique

Wow.... Amazing. I WILL be getting this. Some of those pics look almost too real to be true.

 

[drunk_leprechaun]

this is another must have for me!@

Looks great, I just hope in the end that the paint apps on the body are done so it doesn't peel away like on the rubber for the ALIENS warrior.

The ALIENS warrior, the AVP one has subtle coloring to it so I think it was actually mixed into the rubber, but the ALIENS version has a shiny, more elaborate coloring to it and in places on mine and other people have reported, it rubs off leaving a dull black. It all depends on how Hot Toys gives the Predalien it's tones in the rubber suit areas.

Initialy I quite liked the PredAlien but the more I look at it, the more unsure I am wether I like it ot not. My only real issue is with the mandibles;they appear tacked on and don't flow organicaly with the shape of the head at all. Apart for that though it does look quite nice.

 

[Les Walker]

I like it, and will get it, but am not NUTS about it.
I do like the torso area. Better designed than the aliens from these movies.
All in all, a solid GOOD! Not Great, but GOOD! I will get it.

Look at it this way, this is a signature piece from this movie. Like it or no.

 

[wookster]

Those dreads are my only real issue, it's a shame they didn't get Giger involved, I would have loved to have seen what he would come up with. But as Les says he is gonna be the big bad of the movie, so as long as the movie doesn't stink we are all gonna want it.
On another note, is anyone getting a little of MGS4 Raiden coming through when you look at it, I think it's the colour scheme and visor like domed head. They are obviously miles appart in most ways but there's just something 'of' Raiden in there or you might say there's something of the hybrid in Raiden, comme ci, comme ca.

The Predalien is a pretty unique-looking monster and I think it's interesting enough to add to the collection. I'll refrain for commenting further until I've had a chance to see what it looks like in the movie, but so far, I think Les's appraisal pretty much sums it up for me, too. Wolfie is easily the best of the three as far as the figures go, and that's the one I'm really looking forward to adding the collection.

on some of the photos, the predalien has a partly closed mouth, but some have the inner mouth coming out - are there two heads? or does the jaw drop to allow that piece to extrude?

Its extendable like the other HT aliens-

Three observations:

1. The outer pred-mandibles seem to be articulated, how cool is that?
2. Does anybody else have the feeling that the chest area looks almost like a big face-hugger wrapped around the chest? Look at the detail on the "ribs", they look like the fingers of the hugger. Weird, huh?
3. With those feet, the predalien will never be able to stand by itself... and all the pics showing the feet are photoshopped.

And last but not least, as a toy, this is most bad-ass!

Although i'm not totally impressed with the design, Hot Toys has done a fantastic job with this one.

I will wait to see the movie first to determine if it's worthy of a purchase. I just couldn't bring myself to picking up the original AvP figs after seeing the movie...

 

[Jamal]

I love the skull, you can almost see it through the dome!

 

[wookster]

Just occured to me, no pics of his back?

 

[Jamal]

Indeed you are right. Its probably bare, Adding back spikes would make it overboard Alien

Sorry, but it DOES have back spikes because it IS an Alien.
They are just a little stumpy...that's all.

Could have been a better design, but it will have to do.
Another must buy for me.
