Prime1 Giger Alien (Big Chap)

[Rotfish]

Well people on FB are getting shipping notifications as of today. So I'm guessing two months from now we may be getting it.
Hopefully we will get in hand pictures soon.

Makes sense. That would put it in the US in Q3/4.

Typically the expected date is not when it will arrive in customers hands via economy shipping, but when P1 expects the run is complete and P1 has them in their warehouse ready for distribution. I would be surprised if these are currently ready to ship unless it's the museum pose, or like what normally happens when Aisa customers get a few a couple months before P1 sends out shipping notifications worldwide. FWIW I have not received shipping notice from P1.

New pics up on Facebook. Production paint looks on point

Looks really good to me! I was hoping they'd have figured out eco shipping for us before this was ready to ship. I really want to order it, but I need to decide if I'm going full in with the 1/3 Jungle Hunter first. Simply can't afford it all..... Well I can, but I can't if you know what I mean.

Im in the same boat with other pieces. Really want Prime 1's terminator pieces but cant "afford" to get them. Just too big and pricey. Waiting out for a 1/3 line.

How fantastic. It looks as good as the prototype. That's two 1/3 Aliens statues in a row for them, with this level of quality. Can't wait to get mine.

Leo sent me a pic of the box packaging and the base/key holes. The key holes are minimal and the statue can be easily displayed without the wall.

Looks super sharp, nice finish on the jaw and teeth, congrats to all getting this!

I think that's only for the Museum version. I'm hoping the DX is close behind!

 

[jaklynfiorhollyw]

Keeping fingers crossed since they both have the same estimate dates.
I'm so pleased with this paint app. It looks so clean, and the same as the proto, I turned down all the other big chaps and put faith in this one. I'm glad I did.

Does anyone know what the timeframes are for Secret Compass once pieces start to release in Asia? When I chatted with Shane a few weeks ago, he mentioned it should in within a few months.

 

[jaklynfiorhollyw]

Tbh I'm impressed by the black line work on the statue, in Gigers Diary he goes over how he was doing random black lines on set before shoots because of the time crunch. I think the sculpt is a perfect blend of the suit and the concept of the Alien, and the paint app is a great blend of random and clean. Now I'm so excited, all we need it a 4k video review.

This looks great!

Very pleased. This thing's grail status is all but confirmed, just needs to sell out -- and I imagine it will as more photos are posted.

Did you see the size of the key holes? They are tiny, for the back wall display.
It will be no issue displaying without the wall/door display.

 

[jaklynfiorhollyw]

So for those who ordered it on Secret Compass Shane said that they are expecting it to be about 60-90 days before they receive it.
Let's hope for 60 haha.

 

[nekromantik]

wow those photos made me glad I got one on order even tho it will be very painful timing! haha

 

[jaklynfiorhollyw]

Not gonna lie that dome is phenomenal. It even has just the right amount of misting up. I think it looks a bit better than the prototype tbh.

Yeah, not bad at all. It still has the rectangular keys as well, but luckily those are cut into the base rather than sticking out of it. Should be very easy to cover them up with something, maybe even sculpt an alternate back piece.
