Hot Toys ALIENS Warrior Image thread

[MaulFan]

King, nice shots, but it's interesting, you see the aliens in broad daylight and a lot of the scare is lost, really goes to show that while it's cool to see the details, Scott and Cameron's minimalism with light really defined the fear, not the creature design.

Just got my Warrior today and man this bad boy is sick!! I love it, really a huge improvement to the AVP Warrior. I'll probably touch mine up, and have yet to take any pics.... tomorrow for sure.

I just got mine today. Unfortunately, he was broken on his left elbow. Seems like packaging stress. It doesn't look like I'll be able to fix it myself.

Man, great shots King... I actually thing seeing them outside adds a bit of scariness to them. Like they'd still f you up even outside.

Yeah, and I guess Krusaders all think alike, I thought the one shot looked like alien erotica too

Fantastic shots KofD, and RUMADMAN, I love the climbing shots. It's one hell of a poseable bug!

 

[figuremasterles]

Rudaman, those shots ROCK!

Congrats on the shipping notices guys! I know when Pjam and WorGar get their's, all bets are off! Better get those images in here fast guys!
It's gonna be a serious BUG HUNT in here!

Got my Alien Warrior today and I will say that I am disappointed. The figure is alot more flimsy than the AVP alien. The feet are made from a very flexible rubber and the rest of the body feels like a rag doll. I wish the figure was constructed more solid like the AVP Alien. And some of the parts on the figure like the tail and hands are sticky for some weird reason.....anyways, it looks awesome but I'm not too excited about it anymore.

 

[Reinhardt]

shoot! sorry man! has anyone else had this issue????

 

[MaulFan]

Granted it's supposed to be a climbing warrior, but the way the pictures look with the poll there, has anyone else noticed and awkward trend building in this tread. King's got Alien on Alien action, rumadman has one working the stripper pole, I can only imagine what'll happen when the Warrior meets Wor-Gar's kitchen.

Alien Erotica

Come to think of it, it's actually all my fault, I started this mess weeks ago when I got my warrior, and it inspired similar remarks.

It's rather difficult to pose the Alien warriors entangled with one another to get a battle pose and not have it look like they're ****ing cuz there's no motion going to show the action. I guess next time I'll have one holding a gun or knife or something so it's clear or they can keep ****ing each other, Aliens need love to, but they gotta pay a price.

Eh Voila a subtle touch of saliva an a contrast tweak

AWESOME Photos and this is an awesome figure!Just got mine today!

As an owner of the AvP Alien, you can really see in some aspects the improvements and advice Hot Toys took in.

The paint job is superb and it looks like Hot Toys really took in how lighting reflects on it (whether intentional or not) so it look identical to the Aliens in the actual film.

It also looks like Hot Toys took the advice about the rubber cracking and splitting at some points and sprayed some sort of preserve on it...which is great! Of course, it has made some of the parts have a "sticky" feel to them.
At least I hope thats what it is and I'm not the only one with the sticky Alien! Lemme know!

The double joints are awesome and increase the degree of motion you can move some of his limbs! I spotted the same "dumb-bell" joint piece that join his feet to his legs that has been used on the smaller ALIENS snap-kit drones.

Now, the only gripe would be...and this is no way Hot Toys' fault but just the way it goes because of the design for such a figure. The figure is obviously top heavy cause of his head and is "scrawnier" in design to his AvP cousin, so he has more of a tendency to fall over than the other one. The AvP design had a bigger, thicker tail and also larger feet to aid in the support of standing. Thankfully, I am sure that Hot Toys knows that and has a real tough, yet bendable, metal bar within the tail. The ALIENS Warrior also has those smaller feet...so getting him in a good standing position that he can retain can take a little working with.

Fantastic figure and once again, EXCELLENT WORK from the best 12'' figure company EVER!

NOW BRING ON THE QUEEN!
