New ALIEN Statue from Yoshihiko Sano

[playa7]

I love how the ovals on the skull looks 3d (has depth) when it's really just your paint on there in 2d. The cracks on the skull look badass too!

Just amazing paint detail!
Makes mine look amateur. Oh wait, it is..

Thanks, DP. You are the one that set the bar that high for me. I still look at yours to inspire me when I work on mine.

Thanks. Mission accomplished then.

Every time I think I've seen the ultimate Alien on here, someone trumps it.

Stunning paint job.

Thanks, DSD.

Heres my replacement in the case...the paint job is even more detailed than the last, especially on the head, theres a lot more "black" in it, out seems and the arms are more symmetrically attached...

...with flash

 

[demorathis]

The detail on the skull and the test of the head is a lot more involved than my last one, the veins are crisp and theres dimension to the head, especially the ovoid patterns...i.m very happy, its even more HR Giger , looking than reiou

 

[demorathis]

....than the previous one I returned. (stupid phone acting up)

 

[furystorm]

Oh, wow, that makes me want one badly...

I believe there are still normal versions available....DO IT.....
Its really is worth it, if you want one to repaint, ask for the one I returned, and maybe they.ll sell it cheaper since its missing the chest spur, but u can always xsculpt it in....your paint job on this would b exceleent !

I'd LOVE to see one of the hero suit versions sculpted by sano withe bolaji gloved hands amd the ribbed wrists...maybe in another pose, like tbe box pose or the stoop style B type...i just noticed thers also no ribbed wrists on the ss big chap maquette.....

 

[azurepred]

what are the ribbed wrists? Do any Alien statues have them?

The original kenner had them....its from the gloves as part of the costume, they were so signature that even the dark horse comics illustrated the wrists like that...the marmit hr giger sculpture version vinyl, the marmit retro style vinyl, and the a and b statues, the kenner 5" version fr the aliens collection had m...in fact its only the original sculpture that did n't...all costume versions did too...i think the alien diorama from ss also had them...the giger statue had neither those, nor the elbow spurs...

Just another angle

Thanks
I'm really happy with it...the quality of the base is really good too....there's something about it being resin, too the color is a nice satin shade of black...

 

[demorathis]

EXCELLENT job!

Makes me want to see an alien done in a white paint scheme...that'd b cool....like some alpha alien or something --

 

[SilentSurfer]

That would be kinda trippy.

Something kind like these pics evoke.
