Revoltech Alien

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

Have you got a height restriction barrier or something, like on Rollercoasters?

LOL I should have one of those height barriers installed at the entrance to my collection room..lol.. That would solve the problem of kids randomly wanting to pick up and play with any of my statue's.

Anything that remotely looks like a toy, I have to pass on. The polystone Aliens Queen cannot pass for a toy, so that is in my collection. The large NECA Alien that is 18 inches high I do not consider a toy. But all those little Mcfarlene Aliens and Predators that look like He-man action figures I consider toys. Nothing wrong with collecting them, as I did when I was growing up ( I do have the entire He-Man collection, castles and all) But I feel the need for larger toys This is way too expensive for being so small.

Dude, everything that pleases us as adults is a "toy". Beer, golf, TV, films. It's all toys.

All I will say is that I own several Revoltechs, and to me they bear no resemblance to the sort of He Man etc toys you mention (not that I ever found anything wrong with those either). They're more like cunningly engineered little executive toys, coming in a quality, collector friendly box, and being more like a 5" equivalent to something like Hot Toys.

Don't miss out because of size-ism!

See, now I think this sort of packaging is quality:

They come with tonnes of accessories, alternate heads, a stand etc, and the poseability is unbelievable:

Try doing that with a He-Man figure!

I can't wait to see how they package the Alien, and I'm even more excited to see what poses people manage to get him into.

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

I was just going to post about this. This thing has been what, two years in the waiting since first previewed?

I just placed my order after getting the email from BBTS. Been waiting for this for a long time. Always wanted a Revoltech figure and almost bought a Starscream once, but I've held out for this one.

So if it's $32 in HK, then $36 + shipping here isn't that bad. HLJ.com would probably charge about $15 for shipping totaling around $45. BBTS will be about $46 w/shipping, so seems about on par. HLJ doesn't have it up for order yet though.

I just checked and they have it up now. Shipping will probably be $10~ if it's by standard shipping.

Doesn't look like something I need. It'd be out-of-scale with the NECA and McFarlane stuff no?

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

I sure it's smaller than those. But I think it's also taller than most Revoltechs.

I love this packaging...

The packaging is cool. Any shots of the cover?

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

I must have this. Will have to preorder later tonight, when no one is looking!

Is that writing on it's leg?

If so...that's crap.

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

maybe it's just a glare from the light shinning on the packageing.

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

That is looking pretty nice. Love the box.

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

There's definately writing on the leg....I just can't make out what the writing says. I doubt that will be on them when released. The packaging looks great! I might have to pick one of these up when the price goes down. Hopefully we might get to see a Pred eventually.

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

That looks beautiful!
I'm glad I have two on pre-order.

 

[Sabres21768]

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

Agreed...even with the writing on the leg, it looks great.

I'm already going through what I can use as backdrops to take pictures with.

I know Hasbro will write "HM" on sample figures, even in the package. Maybe this is something similar?

I don't know much about Revoltech - do other figures come with similar writing?

 

[Sachiel]

Re: Revoltech alien up for preorder !!!!!

Yup. It's a sample.
