HCG 1:1 Alien Bust!!!!

[furystorm]

Yes, I remember. And you were very helpful too! I just did not know you were such and Alien-head, like me!

By the way, I agree that the mouth on the "head" isn't as cool. They've nailed it with this release.

Always, always bothered me every time I looked at the Warrior at SDCC or in pictures. You are my new best buddy!

Oh, and I love that this HCG is head and shoulders. Thought the Sideshow version was too minimal. Really happy to have this guy coming, and during the 30th anniversary too!

This one is much more interesting to me as a fan of Giger, than the warrior bust. With the translucent dome and all. More true to the original concept from the imagination of the master.
This bust transcends our hobby into the realm of timeless art from one of the true surrealists.
The original alien's based on a deep-sea shrimp, actually.

I am hoping that they'll produce the Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection versions. I'm holding out for that. My favorite would be the Aliens warrior Alien. SS did that, but the price is out of my abilities.

I agree with your observations. I'm obviously very excited about the release of this particular Alien bust.

My first charge went through! Only five more payments to go!

So who else is going to pick up this bust? This has to be the most important preorder for me right now. The Alien totally eclipses everything else I have on order. Seriously. But with my limited space, I have no idea where I'm going to display him. Anybody have measurements on this one, or should I contact HCG? Their replies come very quickly. Probably will hit them up tomorrow for measurements and higher resolution images. I hope they can provide.

Ive made my first 4pay on this one. Cant wait!

this bust looks excellent, I have the sideshow 1:1 and would have no idea where I would put this also......good price point as well, will be interesting to see what the predalien bust is costed at.

i still like the sideshow aliens bust more, but this one is fantastic, and definitely iconic.

HCG replied on the Statue Forum that the teeth on this bust will be chrome!

Sounds better all the time. I'm still reading through all of the posts over there. But, still very excited to have this bust coming.

Where did they reply? I don't see it. Is it the HCG: A L I E N bust! thread? Thanks.

Lots of good information throughout the thread including direct info from the prototype painter on dimensions and a solid polystone 100 pounds!

Hmm. This is actually pretty tempting. I didn't like the Sideshow version of the original Alien, and while the Aliens warrior is nice, there's no way I would pay the going rate now.

Thanks. Same post I have been reading. I found the part on the chrome teeth. This is one deep bust at 3 feet deep. Finding room for it will be a task.

This (so far) is my most anticipated piece of this year BY FAR...

I cant wait!

Looks better than the SSC bust I think. I'll have to cancel a few SSC orders now so it seems...
