SIDESHOW vs UNKOWN

[AL(|)EN COLLECTOR]

I noticed there was a Sideshow 1:1 Alien Warrior bust which is about £999
For those of you who haven't seen it here it is:

I came accross this Alien Warrior head, I think the brown colour and shape is more accurate to the actual prop used it the movie.
It is less than half the price of the Sideshow bust. But do you think it is worth £415?
Here is what the seller said about it:
it's made out of plastik i think, yes it's completly painted and finish, just like on the original photo.
it is handmade from the pro artist of vision 2 art media agency (a professional germn movie prop firm, which makes these great movie pros in detailed awsome handwork) they also give to this movie prop a certificate, which comes with the alien head with signature of the artist.
I know there a a lot of experienced collectors here and your opinions would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Im not really into Alien collectibles, but its not for me. Pay the extra and get the sideshow one

Just consider that in the world of high-end collectibles, you get what you pay for.

The mouth on the other Aliens bust is a little under-detailed. For the price, it's probably okay, but the SS one has more of a "wow" factor when judging paint and sculpt.

What's up with all the hot glue coming out of it's mouth!? Looks like a bad money shot from a porn.

Oh, lord... thank you for that, Dev. That's... fantastic. Nice image.

If you didn't say I'm sure someone would have.

the ssc one is far superior, shouldn't really be a decision.

The "other" Alien bust does not look that bad. If the other bust satisfies your Alien craving and it's the max you want to spend, but all means PICK IT UP. However the Sideshow Alien Warrior is a Top Notch Piece. If you have the $$$ i personally would go for the Sideshow.

I will say this being a Sideshow Forum, just about 99% of the replies will be in FAVOR of the SIDESHOW Alien Warrior Bust.

If you can get the Sideshow Alien Warrior for £999 buy it straight away! I take it you saw it on play.com for that price which actually has now been removed as it was an incorrect listing. I know this because I placed an order and got the HCG Alien instead and I am now getting a refund.

If you look on eBay you can get the HCG Alien bust for £650 without the money shot!
