I wonder why Sideshow didn't consider SPECIES for the 1:6 treatment?

[DeltaForceChung]

The Species maquette IMHO is a very worthwhile and visually appealing piece.

I wonder though why Sideshow did not consider SPECIES for the 1:6 treatment. They could have produced a 1:6 Sil, Eve, and possibly Sara and Miranda from the subsequent (and inferior) sequels?

I wouldn't expect a full line, but would definitely be interested in a Sil figure if done accurately by HT. It's a beautiful design.

HA! i'm watching the sequel on Encore channel right now.

personally, i'd buy a Sil/Eve in a heartbeat.
and the only "human" character i'd want would be maybe the human versions of her.
it does seem like it would be kinda difficult/expensive to make her though. and she's mostly translucent.
still, it has my vote.

i'm a big Giger fan, so i'll buy any decent figure of his art/design. get on that, HT.

Sideshow doesn't get too creative yet with 12" figures. To pull her off wouldn't be like putting clothes on a buck body. It would be more like putting armor onto a female figure, except that to pull it off right, everything, including the underbody would have to be clear cast. It would be a logistics nightmare. I think Hot Toys could pull it off, but even they might not be able to get it quite right, but then we're talkin' Hot Toys here.

Sideshow made the right call doing the maquette. I just wish I could afford it.

Horizon Models made a 1/6 SIL model back in the day. It was very good.

The box says 1/8, but standing upright like I reposed her, she is about 12". Mine not pictured.

I did a lot of customizing on mine, including standing her upright, and having her feeding herself from one of her breast tubes like on the Giger Species cover, but I never got around to painting her. I'd take pics of it for you if it weren't buried on the bottem shelf behind the filing cabinet right now.

i want a nekkid version of human sil/eve...

on a serious note, i think HT would be able to pull off an alien sil figure well... with a rubber body

 

[SilentSurfer]

Translucent silicon body would be amazing looking.

It would be interesting to see some of the work you did on yours.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I'll see if I can dig it out tonight. There is an M1 1:1 Endoskull under there i want to get at as well.

Species would be a pretty cool toy line, but I cant ever see Sideshow or hot toys producing figures from a not so popular movie.

 

[Shai]

Patrick was a cool monster too...

True, but then again there's Mars Attacks. We can argue the popularity of that, but it doesn't have 3 sequels. You never know with Hot Toys.

IMO mars attacks is a waste! They should focus on the matrix,marvel, and terminator!

I want a Life Size SIL bust next.

The maquette is beyond awesome!

 

[-Super Hans-]

I really dont get the fascination with this its an ok movie but id never buy any form of collectible from the it.

Alien fans typically become Giger fans and he designed Sil. that's the best way i can explain the appeal.
and you gotta admit it's an awesome design and therefore would be an impressive figure.
and it's not like the Alien franchise/sequels/spinoffs had a great track record movie-wise.

 

[abake]

I'd be down for a Sil, provided it was accurate.

 

[torque6]

hehehe species...with castable top.

 

[xenofreak]

I would love to see more Species collectibles from SS. The maquette is awesome, but probably the only thing we will get. It is still available at SS and probably not considered a huge success . I would buy maquette from part 2, 3, and 4

This is the one I wish Hot Toys would make. Only Hot Toys could pull off a PERFECT head sculpt of Natasha (Sil). A human version & an alien version would be killer!! ARE YOU LISTENING HOT TOYS.....WE WOULD LIKE A SIL PLEASE!!

 

[Reinhardt]

I'd definitely be in for a Sil version by Hot Toys.
