Hot Toys Giger Alien

[a-dev]

lol, even those ^^^^^ing about it are still going to buy it.

I'm taking a stand this time. I knew long before I had it that the dog alien was innaccurate but this is too much to take. The line must be drawn here! This far no farther..and I will make them pay for what they've done!...oops wrong sci-fi franchise. No but seriously. If it isn't gonna look like in the film I don't see the point, I already regret bothering with the Dog, the AvP:R warrior and the Aliens warrior.

Geez, it's not as if they're giving you a Noddy figure! It's an alien, from Alien, hence I'm getting it!

It's an alien...but it sure as hell isn't from ALIEN.

But thats the problem, it ISNT from Alien. It's from some fantasy fan-fiction world of some HT sculptor.

The first Alien is the most iconic of all Aliens. If they bothered to make Predator 1 so good, why can't they do the same for Alien?

I just got the HT newsletter. It's now on site.

Their description is a little off...so I fixed it.

"To shat on the 30th Anniversary of the ALIEN movie (1979), we have been invested about 3 minutes of time to develop the worst 1/6th scale Alien collectible which you never would want to have. Another completely inaccurate job done by our talented artist - Joseph Tsang after AVP She Predator and Alien Bust projects, this collectible horribly captured the first appearance of the Big Chap Alien in the movie. If you are looking for a replica of Giger’s work, this not the one! Don’t miss any chance to laugh at this worthless Alien collectible while you can."

Well, I see the alien from Alien - just because it may not have the exact same hands or eyes, doesn't make it unrecognizable! If people bought that ^^^^house Dog Alien, I think people can live with this one.

So wait a minute, you go on about how ^^^^ this alien is, but you keep the "talented artist - Joseph Tsang" bit? Obviously you don't think he is THAT talented. Really, maybe you should focus your time on constructive criticism like others, rather than just saying it's horrible, etc.

ok, show of hands - who's surprised HT made an alien that doesn't look like the movie?



anyone?


...anyone?

I think it may be a little too early for that. Although they have not really paid much attention to alien fans in the past I still think we should give them a chance with this one. If they don't listen though it will suck so I can understand your frustration.

Seriously what is wrong with the figure? It look like the alien to me. The first movie was so dark that you really cant see the alien.

Go back through this thread , theres some pretty detailed sum ups.

and they're the reason HT keeps making ^^^^ty alien figures.

I'm sure alot of the recent hot toys figures wuld sell quite well though without the changes that have been made to them. Take the Terminator Marcus Wright , people complained about things sure but not nearly as much as about this figure so I will be surprised if hot toys don't listen to the fans.

The dog alien didn't gain enough people supporting it same with the avp figures ( or are the avp ones accurate ? ) and when it was the aliens figure I don't think as many people actually cared because hot toys wern't up to the standard they are today. Since this has alot of people wanting it and alot of things wrong with it surely hot toys will try and fix this.

Maybe the Alien wouldn't sign over the rights to its likeness, and that's why HT made it look like it does.

Yeah , I remember reading somewhere that Alien actually took someone to court over their likeness rights.

Or was that Sonny Landham ?.

It was H.R. Giger and he's probably THE reason why the Alien is so far off. It's probably HT way of getting around legal issues like the John Hurt HS on Kane.

At least they didn't sculpt the Alien with a mustache.

Looks like hot toys have updated the alien on their site.
