Hot Toys - MMS 106 - Alien - BIG CHAP collectible figure

[pjam]

And what's with the BBQ stains in his teeth and chest? Has this chap been eating Babyback Ribs at Chili's?

Looks more like Cap'n Dallas' Steakhouse to me.

 

[Mr Barlow]

can you tell me ...is the dome hard or soft plastic and removable ?? I will need to fix some things

 

[abake]

A chrome repaint of the teeth is a must.

Thanks guys. I'm glad you enjoy the pics.

I'm with Abake...yeah, it's not accurate...but it's still a good figure and I'm happy with it for what it is.

It's supposed to be a "rust" effect.

Giger had a bit of that on the original suit.

It's made of a hard plastic. And it is not removable.
I'm not sure how hard it would be to remove. I'd definately worry about damaging the soft rubber of the head.

Yes I know. But they overdid it. A lot.

Sabres those are some fantastic pics you got there. Absolutely love the ones with the Nostromo dio in the background.

You should try and darken it up and take some pics to give it a more menacing look...at least I wish you would. Cuz that would look awesome.

Thanks dude.

Yeah, I've thought about that for some of my pics.

My feeling is that alot of guys go for the "dramatic" look though.

I want everyone to see ALL the details in the the pieces I take pics of.
So, I try and make them as bright and clear as possible.

But, I may just have to try some different lighting for these custom dios.
They really would look good like that.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I agree.

Nice pics Sabres,

The rust effect is pretty minimal on mine, it tends to show up a lot more in bright lighting & on camera.

Overall the paint looks good - spanks the medi, that's for sure.

 

[Sabres21768]

Thanks.

Yeah, this is Hot Toys best paint app on an Alien figure yet.

 

[kl241]

That's not saying much.

As much as I love my Medi Alien, this is true. I'd love to see a Medi Alien with a slightly subtler, but still similar paint job to the HT Alien.

Sabres, great pictures !!!!

 

[Reinhardt]

Fantastic pics brother. Looks amazing in the Nostromo dio.

I love the irony of how Neca's BIGGER Chap owns it in this shot:

the neca is nowhere near as good as the ht....

 

[DarthMagnus]

Have these pics been posted? Guy on Toys Daily puts his Alien in some cool poses.

EDIT: Centrocal you beat me to it!

See the photos here: https://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-115127-1-1.html He gives a pretty comprehensive rundown (it seems. You'd have to be able to read the text) with screenshots from the film.

This one reminds me of the HT AVP Alien

shot of the base

I need to pose mine like the top pic when I get it. Has anyone tried to bend it that far yet?

 

[Sabres21768]

Have to disagree...the NECA owns the Hot Toys version.

Yep, but the knees will not take that stress for long without ripping.

Sad really, as that's the pose I'd hoped to keep it in.

 

[Karnis]

I was more concerned about the rubber around the hips than the knees for that crouching pose...either way, you're taking your chances.

I know you are right in terms of 100% Xeno accuracy (well, in most areas) but I think in terms of the over all look, then to the non-obsessive fan the HT wins. The NECA's ugly pin joints, cut joints (that look odd if not lined up) and the cheap look of the plastic and paint app (esp the inner skull) coupled with its general ungainliness make it look like a budget figure, which in all fairness it is. So comme si comme ca!

 

[CelticPredator]

I disagree. It doesnt even look like an Alien...from any movie.
And the NECA paint looks fine. Aside from the head.

I agree 100%. Well said. I think the "non-obsessive fan" statement is the key to the whole thing.
