Sorry if there's a thread already, saw this looks good (dunno much about these alien figs)

That's a great price!!

____....should've waited. Great figger though.

 

[furystorm]

Wish mine's arm didn't come broken or out of socket under the tight rubber suit. But overall a great figure if a bit small.

 

[iampoch]

how tall is this compared to HT's Big Chap? Might be good as baby or teen Alien ;D

 

[denger4000]

is it even worth that? From my experience medicom's figures are super fragile plus I have the hot toys version already

 

[karamazov80]

Supposedly this version is more movie accurate. But the size and potential QC issues are keeping me away. I would really prefer the Hot Toys version for those issues, though the rubber on that figure worry me a bit, as well.

samesies. although, i think i like the HT version even less. it's the McF figure in a rubber suit.
that said, i can't make myself care about this figure either. i think we're pretty much screwed out of a decent 1:6 scale alien.

 

[karamazov80]

I've kept putting off getting anything because nothing is quite what I want it to be. It kind of silly that I've got a Power Loader Ripley, Kane, and Hicks in my collection with no Alien. But, I can never justify getting a defective "Aliens" Alien, a wacky alien from the AVP films, or a Big Chap with issues like these.

The McF version is a 1000x more accurate then the HT figure. The HT Alien is crap. In every way. Looks like Godzilla.

I can't have a McFarlane or NECA figure on my shelf, though. My shelf would burst into flames if I tried such a thing.

I was all set to get that figure until I saw the pics. Haven't been tempted since. A terrible failure by HT IMO.

I highly recommend the Medicom Alien.
It's a beautiful figure and damn the scale!

Yikes!!!!!

 

[Predalien]

In this image the right hand is colossal !

I have this model, and hands are not as disproportionate, be an effect of the photo

I think and still one of the best models on the market of the first alien, the joints are invisible, is proportionate

I had this figure. Ended up selling him. He was gorgeous, but just too darn small to fit anywhere in my collection. Only Medicom figure I ever bothered owning. I miss him sometimes, but I'm one of the few that loves the HT Big Chap.

I like the Medicom more, infinitely more faithful, the HT has a face like a sperm whale

Yeah, but the Medicom looked like a thirteen year old next to the other figures on my shelf. Between that and the paint rubbing off everywhere you touched or bended the suit, I'll stick with HT. A little silver paint on the teeth, and the HT looks much better.

but the aliens have teeth-colored metal, in all films
