Prime 1 - Dog Alien 1/3 Scale XL

[Blue Liquid]

100%. I speak from experience, that wasn't hyperbole. I still haven't received my Prime 1 Aliens piece.

Yep. Complete BS. Out of space now. Out of money now. Let's make an even bigger A3! I'm tired of it.

Would you cancel and get it from bbts as an option? Still in stock there.

Hmm, hadn't considered it. I've ordered it from Secret Compass. Sigh...

They seem to get their P1 stuff dead last.

Honestly I find us alien p1 collectors have semi been disrespected by p1. The chap fiasco with the back packaging and no replacements. Small head base that falls over...then a new version cheaper and improved comes out. Then we get this XL line rendering our old line almost useless by being 1/3 but not really 1/3. Just seems like p1 is all in the wrong decisions for an ALIEN line. What is Romulus is incredible and the ALIEN is awesome in it? Will they make it XL 1/3 or just the other regular 1/3? So silly and disrespectful.

The new XL line doesn't nullify the old one. Some folks don't like their statues oversized and would prefer truer (or at least smaller) scales, especially if they collect stuff from other movies. Or maybe they don't want an artsy base with miniatures built in.

I'm just glad Prime 1 is taking their time with these (only a tease so far). Gives Queen more time to cook their 1/3 maquette, assuming it's still happening.

Is Queen studio will make a 1/3 predator or only alien?

No word on Predator to my knowledge.

I mean I just thought of it coolprops big chap is smaller than the prime 1 big chap. So technically the "1/3 xl" is probably 1/2 scale with a 1/3 license.

Ah, that's a good point. They already cheesed the scale with the OG 1/3 line by a few inches. Still not egregious though, they don't feel terribly out of scale next to other 1/3 pieces.

I guess Prime 1 is really just catering to those who expect Aliens to be at least as tall as - if not taller than - Predators (which is inaccurate if we compare actor heights, but fans want what they want).

looks like they doin XL version of dog,bigchap,warrior - this is 100% confirmed by someone from prime1 on fb collecting site

It's interesting that they are doing it even though the already over sized 1/3 pieces didn't sell crazy well (warrior, chap).They could have just kept them in scale and done different versions etc or even a 1/3 Ripley Blitzway (hoping jnd does it)
Rumor has it the new xl dog is an old sculpt by the sculptor that doesn't even work there anymore and the piece wasn't approved of for the original dog and probably wasnt even paid for...(I won't say how I know that)

Something about this line just feels off the original ALIEN 1-3 really has nothing to do with Predator. So it doesn't even make sense to have them scale with eachother. I mean p1s queen is still available years later. Why not do a complimentary bust of a queen 1/3 or 1/4?
I mean if this piece is amazing I'll probably order it but the whole line just seems very strange.

I am still waiting for a true 1/3 scale predator Jungle Hunter so I can put it together with my P1 Alien.

My waitlist converted for Megatron 1 from the first Transformers picture… so I won’t be preordering this unfortunately.. That is unless it’s get real busy with work and can afford it. We will see.

 

[c3r1h5]

The good news is we may get to see a blitzway Ripley 1/3 soon

Did they hint or announce something recently?

Just last week i purchased the original 1/3 Dog Alien and is on its way, which also looks incredible. Will be interesting to see how the paint apps compare to this, if there is any improvement in the final production piece.
Base is way too large for me to consider this either way. I do wish the facehugger was sold separately though!

The 1/3 XL means the statue itself is a slightly larger scale than the one you already have. It is a new line to match their Predators which are a a bit "over-scaled".

After they finished with their preds mark my world they are going to do the true 1/3 scale line with their preds.
