Dream Concept - DISTRICT 9

[MwNN]

I bought the green one because I thought it was closer to CJ's coloring, but looking at movie stills more closely, perhaps "C" is more like him.

You know, now looking at some reference photos of CJ, you are probably right Dave. "C" coloring is closer to Christopher Johnson. I went with Alien "B" as CJ because he carried the Assault Rifle when he and Wikus stormed the lab.

What are the range of prices for these?

C looks pretty rad. Wish they had a more neutral-colored version like black or dark brown -- and that these were easier to get ahold of...

I'm not a huge District 9 fan, but these things caught my eye, so I went ahead and ordered one.

The box is very minimal - no art, just a paper band around it with the Dream Concepts logo and "Dack Side Heroes" tagline.
Opening the box and we see something we in 1/6 haven't seen in a while - twisty ties. The figure was secured to a cardboard insert with the ties and it's head wasn't on.

Under the insert were plastic bags with the head, an extra set of hands, the gun and the catfood. No instructions, but they aren't really needed. One of the legs had come unplugged at the knee on mine, but it snapped back into place with no problem.

The head snaps on securely and when you twist the head, the eyes move. Kind of a "toy" thing - but I love it. It really gives the figure life.

Surprisingly this thing stands pretty well without a stand. I'll use one because falling could damage it, although it seems pretty sturdy despite the fact that the plastic used in the body seems a little lighter than expected.

Beware of the little capsules on the gun, in putting the gun in his hand one of them came loose. Luckily it didn't break off, but just came separated from the hole where it had been glued.

The paint is really, really well done. I don't know that the aliens were this bright a green in the movie, but the detailing is excellent.

The catfood can is really well done too, good printing and looks like a steel can.

The hands change really well and the second set hold the gun easily. I had a problem figuring which side each went on, but that's because the 3 fingered hands aren't easily identifiable as "left" or "right."

For $250 this thing is an incredible value in this day of $240 X-Wing pilots and $300 Vaders. I only wish the paint was a bit more muted and that he had the clothes that Christopher wore during the movie. But otherwise it's an excellent and very professional figure.

yo DD! they gave you a shout-out on facebook

Tried to make a payment for this but it says the recipient doesn't accept payments using this method. Do they only take gift payments?

I didn't pay by gift. I NEVER pay overseas by gift. Did you try using an eCheck or something?

I tried paying via paypal, I selected the option for buying goods and it didn't accept my payment when I tried both direct transfer from my chequing account and from credit card. I would feel more comfortable to not pay as gift.

 

[MwNN]

I know I did not make my Paypal payment to them as a "gift" and they did not ask to pay as a "gift". Do you have the right Paypal account?

Wish I wasn't broke. The aliens in D9 are some of the most original creatures ever.

Is that green prawn supposed to be Christopher? Where are his clothes?

That Exo Suit looks amazing but I wonder how much it's going to cost.

 

[Pianoteam]

I ordered the green prawn. Was thinking about HT ironman mark 42 diecast but I would much prefer this

grats!

wants yellow....

so w/o gettin the ball rollin via emailing them direct yet do they indeed have stock of these? limited stock? any idea on that?

 

[Pianoteam]

I believe they have a few more green prawns left but they are working on their next wave (yellow or orange version). You can like their facebook page and see the progress, they announce when you can order new items on there too. Not sure if they will remake the green prawns. Maybe if there is lots of demand for them?

How much are these figures?

 

[daethdrain]

How much are these figures?

cost me 250 + 30 shipping to the US

 

[jra81984]

I am so in on this! Which one is the most accurate version to get? Yellow looks incredible, but Green seems to be more accurate?

I am definitely ordering

 

[Pianoteam]

Right now they only have a few green left and are making the others. I have the green and really like it. He's the most accurate one if that's what you're going for but I agree the others look great.

 

[jra81984]

Just sent deposit for the green! I could not turn this one down!

 

[MwNN]

Uh oh, I don't know what it means...but all the photos of the Alien pests have disappeared from DCC's FB page?
The exo-suit pictures are still there though.

 

[jra81984]

Yeah they are certainly gone... after I spent so much time drooling over them yesterday, they are definitely clearly absent. I have not gotten a confirmation invoice either. I hope they didn't get the plug pulled!
