Bumping this up! Has anyone had the arm break on this or know of someone who's HT big chaps arm broke? I'm wondering how to go about repairing. I know the rubber sleeve can be removed though not sure what's the best way to do that. Also can the arm be detached from the body?
Also got a broken hand peg. Any advice on replacement pegs?
The wrist pegs are smaller than normal HT pegs, don't know about replacement options.Bumping this up! Has anyone had the arm break on this or know of someone who's HT big chaps arm broke?

This figure convinced me to stop collecting Hot Toys Aliens and sell what I had. The City Hunter 2.0 had the same effect with my Predator collecting. I'm more tolerant of inaccuracy than some - and I don't claim to have total knowledge of what is accurate - but I think Hot Toys really missed the mark with those two, willfully or otherwise. The Alien in particular was like they said the most basic, generalized resemblance will do.Still waiting for HotToys to release an accurate Giger Alien. The took too much artistic liberties with this one.
For a license as expansive and popular as the Alien franchise, HotToys has dropped the ball immensely with it. There are 10,000 Iron Man figures but zero desire by them to release the Colonial Marines and do them justice.This figure convinced me to stop collecting Hot Toys Aliens and sell what I had.

Their Warrior 2.0 was pretty decent. I still get tempted to hunt one down every now and then, but never act on it due to the higher-end stuff that's just around the corner.This figure convinced me to stop collecting Hot Toys Aliens and sell what I had.

I usually try to bite my tongue when I see this figure receiving praise.Their Big Chap was quite the letdown indeed. I'm surprised by how many folks want to track one down because "it's the iconic original" despite its likeness being further from the source material than any of their other Aliens, save for their first Warrior.
I think as a TRAP fan (Terminator, Robocop, Alien, Predator),
I'm grateful for what we already got because there's no way in hell Howard Chan would be interested in these nowadays.
Ooof, haven't kept up with pricing on these, but last I saw you were paying through the nose. $5-600What's this bad boy going for these days? Anybody selling for a good price?
I retroactively gave a like to a post that expresses my view of this figure quite well.The first post brings back many memories of HT past...
