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

[ChaserFan]

Mine's coming next week, but I've got a question to those who have him: How tall is the cardboard backdrop?

I think what turns people off about the Medi-alien is the (non-existant) paint-apps.
I'm sure that if it had a great paint job people would be much more forgiving of its scale issues, but the fact is it does look a bit plain.

My dream is getting an extra Medi-alien very cheap and then sending it off to Les for a full repaint. I can just picture in my head how mind-blowingly good it would look.

You're absolutely right, which is why I always photograph it in low lighting!

I was "lucky" enough to get mine reasonably cheaply (i.e. it still cost bloody loads!), so I doubt I'd ever get another one cheap enough to risk a re-paint. I'm dying to see someone have a crack at it though.

Regarding the modded Big Chap above, it does look a lot better. There is still a major problem with the proportions though. Look how far away the bridge of the nose is from the top row of teeth. The top lip needs to be at least half the size it is.

I'd love to see a shot of it from the front.

The closed mouth looks terrific!
I'm excited for this figure.

Still no word from Leo, so I guess I won't be getting me mitts on this sucka before Crimbo.

Got my processing notice (for the 21st) today from Sideshow.

I'm not uber excited about this one.

But, it'll be cool to have in the collection.

Finally a gift I don't feel guilty giving myself, since I used rewards points toward the big chap. Probably won't have these by Christmas though. That's a bummer.

Sabres, those A3 pics are great. Makes me want one now!

Just remember...that particular piece has been customized in the facial area.

Just in case some haven't heard, Dan O'Bannon has passed away...

I recieved my Alien the other night. I know some here are not to happy with it, but I like it. I will however not be displaying it with mouth open as it looks like the tendons around the mouth would just snap after a while if left stretched for long periods.

Great pictures. The beast looks good to me. How's the poseability? Does it hold poses? The Medicom one doesn't score to high in that department, not for me anyways.

Hey Tyler, if you don't mind, how tall is the backdrop?

Movment is limited at shoulders, hips and neck. I think I have them maxed out in the pose it is in, in those photo's. The knee's and elbows have good movement though. There is more movement in the mid torso join than the rubber skin allows, but I have turned the torso join as far as I can before an obvious crease appears on stomach area.

Hey Tyler, if you don't mind, how tall is the backdrop?

The backdrop is 44cm tall.

 

[ChaserFan]

The backdrop is 44cm tall.

Cheers for that!

Awesome pics man!

 

[tylerdurden]

some nice shots there, tyler.

 

[Reinhardt]

Great pics Tyler. Can't wait to get mine next week.

 

[Karnis]

Can you give us some more pictures with the mouth closed please?? I need to see a full side shot and front shot.

Here you go:

Sorry it took so long, two feet of snow put a crimp in my weekend.

Hmm, the profile of the dome seems greatly improved from even the second re-do.
