It's like magic seeing these sculptors work.
"Watch me pull a figure that nobody asked for out a hat."

HT just posted on Facebook that everyone who preorders this figure will receive a free t-shirt that says "Never Been Touched by a Woman"
these photos show once again how much tsang hates predators.
because look at the lines. everything's that must be accurate round - is round. everything that must be straight - is. if the line should be deep, it is. no melt/smashed surfaces. small details are there. shapes are what they should be, check the big alien parts or a "jockey cannon".Why you feel tsang hates predators from these pictures?

when it comes to predators, their armor looks lke made of melt plastic, no straight line, no deep carve. their faces are as in shape from prototypes as they can be. details on his sculpting of predators are zero, and everything looks like the sculptor was drunk, and his hands were shaking.
to get an idea of terribly wrong shapes made by somebody with shaking hands compare this first HT alien (if it even was his) to a movie alien - or this new figure.
what is best seen is how smashed are shoulder rings or ribbed installations in legs and feet. that's the kind of terrible sculpting he does with every predator figure he makes. always changing shapes, dulling details and curving lines. P2 is the worst to date.
plus he makes details that should move unmovable. hip guards, right shoulder guards. they are lazily glued to main armor, making fun of a predator. P2 is the worst again, turned into a girl in a skirt once you move his leg from standing pose. his avpators have same problem but multiplied several times. they also suffer from the worst case of detail mistakes in their armor. he didn't even try to take any movie screenshot to repeat the shape, every little detail is just imagined by him.
he must truly hate the character. with aliens it's the opposite. he really tries and does a good job (after that first terrible attempt), just cannot get the head shape.
so i thought that he cannot sculpt anything "as it has to be" at all, but turns out he just hates working on predators.
and don't bring the P2 Greyback as an example. his head is a slightly changed copy of an old toy, not a movie oriented sculpt. and his armor and gadgets are as terrible in shape and detail as ever (and they are just a copy of "classic pred" toy which is just irresponsible).
every alien he makes gets a new body and a better and better work to be closer to a screen/game alien as people know them. every predator is a headsculpt he imagined himself and terrible armor with lots of mistakes and no movie consulting.
Not at all. His creations were never just kinky sex outfits. They were biomechanical horrors which had traces of sexuality but nothing that was actually titillating. There's a reason men screamed in terror when Sil revealed her final form.
Actually Giger was quite fond of other artists paying homage to his creations...not necessarily trying to copy his style by making up their own biomechanical textures, but renditions that are unique...he loved the Kenner alien that was first released in 79 because even though it was stylized it had the character of alien...like this figure is stylized with its puffy appendages etc, but is clearly alien....few artists are so open to others interpretations...I am pretty sure he was also a fan of the big chap alien by takeya with his unique style
Plus giger could be quite playful with his subject matter to the point of parodying his own creations especially in his sketches....
I love the price on this, it means it will peg warm hard and I'll get it during 2017 spook
lol well i don't mind a "sleazy" figure if done right, but i think a sleazy WOMAN in a alien warrior outfit and a teenage GIRL in one offers a bit more as far as suspension of belief. unless there is a market out there for people who like teenage girls half naked dressed as xenomorphs.......
I can't say I've ever fantasised about females with giant ***** for heads, teenage or otherwise.
