[Manu81]

Thanks! So far this is my favorite pose without a stand, once I get one I'll put him into a more dynamic pose

Do not forget to put the pictures thenwhich stand will you buy for it?

Bit more repaint. The first picture is before any paint. I am slowly adding grey tones to replace the gold. The face is complete though. Every piece blends together now. I used a triple thick gloss on it. The grey is made with copper and grey combined.

Nice job! The gloss looks really good on it. That was one thing I noticed about the Alien's factory paint apps right out of the box, was that it was kind of flat looking, but the gloss really brings life to it.

Excellent job. I fear that the stock figure would fall all too short of yours were I to buy it. Also, buying online for this one wouldn't seem to be ideal given some of the issues and the variant that's out there.

Thanks. To the defense of Necas lack of gloss choice is actually very accurate. The alien suit was very matte. A couple of scenes show matte texture and a couple show gloss. When I do repaints the gloss just makes the colors underneath pop.

Well of course on a mass $100 figure they will cut corners. But tbh the factory is great. But a simple re touch of the tone with a little gloss will make it top notch. As for the varient out there , I think the closed lips had become more rare. To each their own but I absolutely love the closed mouth. It just shows that side that was unique to the alien. Slow movements and calm acting with full control. Ridley had the idea the alien was bruising as it got older and had a very short lifespan. That it was almost dying. Of course as the series went on that was gone and we got all teeth.

Yeah, I always like that idea that the Alien grew so fast that the coloration was due to bruising and pooled blood. Too bad the inner-dome maggot idea didn't work, it would have been really creepy to see on-screen in fleeting glimpses.

I dunno about the inner maggot dome that's nasty lol. I like the erotic sleek mess. Plus the alien wasn't seen that much it would have shown too much. Maggots nasty...

I contacted a few sellers on the bay about the different versions of this figure but it looks like a lottery to which one you will recieve. I sooo want the closed mouth version

That is looking very awesome

How safe do you think it is to leave the figure in extreme poses? Isn't the rubber material the hip/mid section know for tearing after prolonged stress in unusual poses which fold or crimp the material?

 

[abake]

Damn, this figure is soooo frigging awesome.
Too bad I won't get it for Christmas...

 

[bigbisont]

Mine is in my pile at BBTS. Yup...just waiting for those Aliens Minimates s2 (also supposedly ready in December)... yup.... stinking minimates holding this thing up...

Good old NECA! I knew there would be some way in which they would feck things up. Got mine today from Forbidden Planet. I got the snarling lips version, which is the one I really wanted, and..........the jaw iswonkier than the worst prize fighter in the know galaxy! Apart from that the figure's the best A L I E N sculpt yet. Kyle Windrix has excelled himself. Which is why I'm especially gutted. I've packed him up for replacement but will post some pics soon. As ever with NECA, try to buy in a shop.

Here he is, Punch Drunk McGiger!

 

[Manu81]

Hi kaklyn! Could you explain a litle bit how did you paint your alien? Could you post some pictures about the gloss and the way you have painted it? You applied also gloss to the lips?I like the texture they have...is more...organic in other photos I see them like if they are sticked to the figure and in yours it seems they are part from the figure...I dont know if you know what I means...may be is because os the flash in somw photos...I can wait to receive mine

I wouldn't recommend it. I left one of my 7" Warriors in a crouching position, and while the rubber didn't tear, it is pretty much stretched out and deformed now where if he is just in a standing up pose the gaps between the bottom of the rubber pelvis area and leg joint are huge and it will not go back to normal.

I'd image the hip rubber is a bit more sturdier on the larger figure, but it also is a lot more weight, so i imagine the same thing would happen.

And if you want to keep the figure in that position? I would like to expose my Alien next to my SS bust, do you think that if we leave it in one position, it will finish to break? And also with the mouth which is the normal position in that figure if we want to leave it always in the same position?
