Revoltech Queen Alien and Predator

[kairus]

looks right to me.

man that looks awsome. i guess the queen is in scale with the drone.
looks like it from this pic.

 

[nepentheworld]

Should get one

Checked BBTS just now. The Queen is in stock, but the Pred's still a PO. He clocks in at $42.99, but the description confirms that he doesn't come with his roaring headsculpt. Kind of a bummer, since it was probably the most accurate head they did for him.

For Predator completists only IMO. Poseability on NECAs and Hot Toys figures aren't so far behind this and obviously they look better too. Plus this is a...sorta useless scale.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Yikes.. Face looks very.. Cartoonish.
Poseability is badass though.

 

[jcartwork]

holy thats great

 

[Biojex]

Yeesh....


Paint apps are nice though.

 

[Rotfish]

Sigh... the unmasked sculpt had so much potential. Like Biojex said, paint apps aren't bad. The entire figure could've been a win if they had just kept that unmasked head.

I couldn't agree less.

Once again, some people are missing the point of these figures. These are tiny 5" toys with an extreme level of poseability. There is virtually no pose you can't achieve with most Revoltechs, something that is not true with any other figures.

Far from being for Predator completists, I'd say this is for people who just want a cool little trinket for their desk at work or whatever. I'm not a Predator fan really, but I'll probably pick one up because having something so cool that is only the height of a Coke can will be endlessly diverting. That face sculpt is the size of your thumb nail people! I think that's pretty amazing.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

^ You forget it's around $40...

 

[demorathis]

average 25-30 bucks
these toys are worth every penny...
I have the first alien and I just love it...
quality is just amazing and the attention to detail is unmatched in this scale...

most of the newer revoltechs are "averaging" $35 to $45

added one more vid for size comparison

Honestly, to me they aren't worth the $42 price tag. The queen definitely, but a predator that's tiny with wrong proportions?
Maybe if it were $30 cheaper

 

[freestylex06x]

they are in the $25 - $30 range but the crap value of the dollar these days is pushing them up to that $40 range

 

[DSD]

^ You forget it's around $40...

I don't forget at all, and that's only because of exchange rates and the fact that they're imported figures. It's hardly Revoltech's fault they're Japanese!

Besides, in the UK I have to pay more like $50 to $60 to import one, and I still think they're well worth it because of the generous accessories and because of how well packaged and designed they are.

 

[Dyscrasia]

Luckly, revoltech figures are pretty cheap here even though the currency is ____ed up....

I ordered both the queen and warrior with a combined price around $70...
