Hot Toys Giger Alien

[galactiboy]

Looks really good, not 100% accurate, but definitely closer than the Aliens warrior.

Has anyone taken some good pics of this guy from SDCC yet??

Did you not see these posted a couple of pages back?

Photos I took today:

Oops, I went back a few pages, but somehow missed the pics on page 45. Thanks for reposting bro. Outside of the obvious mouth and dome issue, the paint job on this baby is fan-freaking-tastic.

 

[DSD]

much better, but still comix skull-masturbating and crazy smile.

make this or don't make anything. i've seen all variable crap before. make it like this was or don't make anything.

or produce another stupid figure to extend somebody's collection of not-aliens.

p.s. f* the brown color. if HT were so interested in making an "exact copy", they would do an exact copy. all their brown color goes from their "hot toys 1/4 alien bust", i think.

p.p.s. almost perfect body on HT photos, except color. fingers may be fixed, but overall seems cool. previous attempts of other producers seem a lot more schematic.
so why the hell is it so difficult to make an alien head? i don't understand.

Ironically the two photos you posted up are of two different suits used in the film. Unless I'm much mistaken, the top photo is of the stunt suit and head, which is quite different to the Bolaji suit in the 2nd photo.

Well, now I'm quite disappointed with this figure. The arm sockets look terrible along with so many other things. I may have to wait to see in hand pics on this one to see if HT makes any of the changes so many have requested.

 

[Reinhardt]

The arms are obviously sticky tacked on (or something similar) for the time being as the figure is not final.

That's one thing I'm not too worried about. The arm sockets look so out of place that I'm almost certain that will be fixed.

The skull stuff, not so sure... but I may just get this and try to pose it in low light anyway. I'm not interested in seeing the skull unless it's under bright lighting and I'm looking VERY closely.

Kill it with fire.

 

[Nacho]

Kill it with fire.

Yeh I'm not a fan either.

The body and paint ap' is good but looking at it in the face it just dosn't
look like an alien to me.

 

[pjam]

This SDCC display piece is obviously some kind of mock up. Look forward to seeing actual finished Proto. But that clear dome and the mouth are major concerns of mine... the dome can be brushed over, but the mouth HAS to be fixed.

Better paint scheme as well, can't tell if the flash is washing out the true darker tones.

 

[galactiboy]

Looks darker/better in these images. I would assume this is a different figure than what was shown in Tokyo.

 

[CelticPredator]

The face doesnt even look like an Alien at all....

 

[Jamesways]

The angle of the skull doesn't really match the position of the teeth either. That's one weird angled face.

 

[a-dev]

Its still a pass for me until we see some radical changes to that head. I don't need another mild approximation of an alien. The Dog alien fulfils my quota of that quite well.

 

[FACEBOX]

If that's what we get..... I see some serious airbrushing in its near future.
That skull has GOT TO GO.

 

[Coolest Board Name]

I'm a big big fan of the original Alien film and was so looking forward to this.
But unfortunately like most of you I'm very disapointed by the inacuracies, mainly the skull shape with its "angry" look.

So much so that I registered here just to express my views about it, and to post a photoshopped pic of what I wish the HT Alien looked like.
The color is not that big of a deal to me after the last posted pics, but the skull.... :emperor
One can wish that the HT team listen to their fans and potential customers.

As it is now, I wouldn't buy it for sure, just because of that skull.
If it were more along the lines of the modified pic, I'd be all over it in a split second !

 

[GreenDragon]

considering the head is THE most important part of ANY figure, I don't understand how they can slip up on this one? The skull and mouth don't even come close to representing Alien from Alien. We need some QC on the sculpting department lol

 

[kl241]

Hot Toys really humped the bunk on this one.

 

[Devil_666]

In fact, it's probably worth linking to Sabre's thred on the Hive again to see what Hot Toys should have been aiming for:
