I don't want to post photos of my alien in this horrible nasty thread because they will only provide fuel for the thread nazis who have a weirdo hate frat party campaign going on.
You would honestly think that this was the worst produced figure on the planet the way certain individuals behave. AND its NOT because we all know that there are some real shockers out there.
I feel sorry for the poor artist that is taking all the flack for creating something that could easily be the centrepiece and is worthy of any serious alien collection.
No most of you people have gone way beyond the point of rational debate and turned this into nothing more than a wanker party bashing something to make yourselves seem tough and cool or something. You attack people for being different with no respect for others unless you go allong with the fight like a mob.
Freedom of speech and all the but some of you are acting all uber cool and gangsta and getting too carried away with yourselves at the expense of rational discussion about this awesome 1/6nes. Freedom for some and not for others by the look of it.
It's sad and shouldn't be allowed when there is such an obvious cluster pattern of stupidity in this thread from the same gangsta gang banging me number 1 you nuber 2 gang of people. in this thread.
Just look at all the detail on this master piece of creation like the hands and feet and chest cage and the detail of the arms and ox jaws on the feet make this so cool I can't believe I own something like it.
The snake spine under the dome and the skull eyes ars so dark and menacing that it gives me the creeps. It's cool not failien of anything like it. MASTERPIECE!
I think they did a superb job with it and they should be very proud. I hope Joseph Tsang does all of their future alien based projects! You can hate me all you like for saying it. Just proves my point.
So just relax and enjoy. PEACE

ALV, you're welcome to enjoy the figure, but you really shouldn't come in here acting all high and mighty, you don't know the people posting here and frankly, if anyone is adding junk into this thread it's you with your attacks.
Most of the people in here that are frequently complaining about the figure are VERY passionately Alien fans who had high hopes that they would be able to get a Hot Toys figure of the original Alien with Hot Toys posability and quality with the sculptural accurracy of the NECA figure for example. As Alien fans, they've watched Hot Toys take a creative liberties with the sculptural details of the xenomorphs from each film over the years and it's frustrated them when other HT figures seem to get a strong attention to detail and accurracy. The ALIENS figure is way off target, there's never been an Alien that looks like it, it's almost completely made up. They had high hopes that Hot Toys would really come through on the big, defining details like was put into the Predator, and again, there are aspects that show creative license being taken with this figure's design. They're upset and letdown and wish to be vocal about it and share in their upset feelings with others who share them.
There are also members in here that are happy enough with the figure as is, but just about no one at this site has the figure yet, so all there is to do right now is chat, and the chat is more participated in by those let down. Once people here actually get the figure, photos will be posted and commentary will have more a mix of positive and negative feedback.

people are allowed opinions and will post them regardless of what you say man , even if they are extremely negative.
Its pointless mate , I'm not taking any sides.
When you say though you feel sorry for the artist , any artist I think should be given criticism to try and improve in the future. Ecspecially when they said this alien was going to be accurate. I think thats what your not understanding , I didn't reallise that too not so long ago.
Hot toys actually said this was going to be accurate then relased this which is not.

Which also raises another matter.
I haven't seen anyone criticizing the artist's skills, I think even those let down by the figure would say he's a very talented sculptor.
It's the chosen appearance, not the execution in question. People would agree the mouth's nicely sculpted, just doesn't look like the mouth of the original Alien.
Add to that, as Hicks said, HT basically stated we've got the best Giger Alien figure out there, just short of saying ours is better than Medicom's, and the reality is, in representing the Giger design, it is not the best one out there, so peoplere are frustrated even more with HT that they're ballsy enough to state that and not make a figure that backs it up.

What you call passionate most call psychotic scary and ugly and I don't want to yell and fight to be herd.
Any opinion is welcome in this thread as long as it revolves around attacking this figure and anyone else is crazy or stupid misguided.
An elite that need to herd the rest of the poor unfortunates toward the light they deliver.
Now I'm an enemy of the group for it. Please.......that's almost pure fascism.

Theres been plenty of positive comments towards the figure if you read carefully. The only reason people quote yourself is because your mentioning their posts. Thats why I found it ironic you posted dont feed the troll since thats what I thought you were basically doing yourself. Instead of dragging this on we should just focus on the figure and if people feel they have some things they would like to mention about the figure not being accurate enough so be it.
They like it , you don't.
Well you coming in here, a total newcomer to the conversation, acting like a dictator about how the conversation should go in here isn't going to win you many friends at this site. Conversations here are going however they're going, if you chose to become a member and participate in them, I suggest embracing what's going on, if you don't like it, don't participate in the thread.

Here on the Perimeter
The problem was in the reference material used, the artistic license taken and the fact No one at HT listened to the Fans who know this Design best. We even sent HT accurate reference material. But it was ignored.
It's that simple and that disappointing. The body is terrific, but they even got that wrong at first (proving they weren't on top of this) which resulted in some corrections. But the head is WAAY Off.
I hope Neca does a Sixth scale fig, because THAT might be the one to get at this point.

Conversation? Carefully? New here but not the world. Where on the planet but here would you talk with people like that? What world do you live in that's like that and you should run if you do. It's not a conversation so much as a Joseph Tsang bash for psychotics and you can try put any spin on this thread you like.
After reading the thread from the beginning it soon became obvious that a small group of people were converting their lives into pure negativity and hate and not rational conversation and taking the whole figure thing a little silence of the lambs seriously. Show me another place on the web with content about the Big Cap like this? 99% brutal nit picking attacks and 1% like and that's a sad thing in light of the magnificence of the figure.
Surprised by my comments on top of that because it turns out that I'm really the fascist. Way to try an influence the world with negative spin about this spectacular creation super power people fascist cops.
Like I said it all comes down to anyone who doesn't think this figure is third rate being categorised as a sad misguided individual who doesn't know anything and whose obviously looking for trouble.

Hmmm, I might go for it at 135, after all, I paid more for the RE Alice form Bros Productions and it certainly isn't that accurate!
And yet... I do have a feeling this'll be cheaper a few months down the road. Ahhh... decisions decisions!
And ALV, lighten up man, everybody here is having a good time, critics and lovers alike.
Man, this alien sucks.
Let's get back to it...
OK, so I was saying how I'd like to fix the mouth, so here's a quick PS comp I did with that picture a few pages back (the pred/alien/dutch pic).
I moved the jaw up slightly and extended the teeth to get that "grin".
Any better?
Original................................ PS'd jaw/teeth
Trying for this look:
I still see too much lip -- too much distance between dome and teeth though.

Closed mouth is certainly an improvement, mouth flopping open makes me seem a little goofy.

If there is one, which I really doubt, it'll likely be something like this.
LOL
