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

[MaulFan]

Not surprised it doesn't, but I am a little bummed the base is lacking the cob webbing of slime like the prototype, that made it seem more like an Alien environment, but at least the rusting weathering is still there.

yeah i noticed that. should be a pretty simple custom job though.
in that case, i don't see why ht couldn't do it themselves. especially for $150.

Anybody know what cabinet hes using too ?. I think someone asks him the same question over there and he replys Ikea.
I could be wrong though.

That is odd that the base is cleaner... but again, not a deal breaker.

Those are Besta from Ikea, with additional glass shelves which are available. I have the Besta setup for my collection. They are a bit dark, I have the same color wood as the one shown. But there is a lighter color wood which might show a collection off more. I really need to get some lights in there. Search for my "shelves" thread. I love my setup.

I am familar with bestas and once actually had some.
What makes me think the guys on the photo aren't bestas is that the glass door looks like one piece rather than 3 separate ?. See what I mean ?. Or is there a door I've missed that is one section rather than 3 separate ?.
Thanks for the reply.

Wow, I'm actually a little shocked by that. It's not as if these would have been hard to sculpt from scratch. But in some sense I guess it's similar to the way that movie model makers use parts from existing model kits to make new things. Just look at the Millennium Falcon.

I'm more shocked that Centrocal recognized them and knew exactly where they came from!

not a $200 figure. but it's cool to see people still like it.
in any case, you're better off getting the Halcyon kit and giving it a great paint app.

 

[Reinhardt]

Wow, that is awesome prefused.

But is it articulated?

i think it's just a recast/replica of the Kenner figure. so, it's got the same articulation.
Tsukuda Hobby did the same thing.

that looks frickin sweeeeet

That is a vinyl model kit made by Halcyon which was made by recasting the Kenner toy. The model has all the same detail and sculpting inaccuracies, and because it was cast in vinyl, it is slightly smaller than the original 18" Kenner toy. The only articulation is the shoulders.

ah yeah. i think the inner jaw is different too. did the tsukuda one have more articulation?

Final Comment then I'm outie...

If HT "Marmitizes" the head and offers a V2 I'm in. They can call it whatever they want, DX, etc. I think it's the least they can and SHOULD do.

See you Guys on the SSC 1/4 Alien Maquette thread when it emerges.

 

[uscmhicks]

I might wait a while before making any purchases now with all this talk of a V2. It is possible.

i'm not holding my breath for a "v2".
this is probably all we're gonna get unless neca grows a pair and enters the 1:6 market.

I'm amazed they haven't yet.
Maybe they think hot toys are to far ahead of them in quality.
Then again they would charge alot less too. If anything it would only create more competetion on the market and be a great thing for us collectors.
