Alien 3 maquette

[galactiboy]

Hmmm, interesting... although I'd prefer a Alien3 figure from Hot Toys.

[Darklord Dave]

They're doing a 1/4 scale Alien and it's from the worst of the films?

Discuss...

[galactiboy]

I really thought Resurrection was the worst of the films...

And looking at the QTVR of the piece its pretty darn impressive... although in terms of Aliens announcements I'm all about the 1/6 Warrior and Power Loader!!!

[Mookeylama]

Power loader?! link please.

[customizerwannabe]

It's in the power loader thread. This maquette holds no inteest for me. In fact anything from Alien3 holds no interest for me.

[King Darkness]

Gonna have to wait and see the whole thing before I make a judgment, but not the alien of choice for me.

[Shai Hulud]

i think its a good sign that at least they will make some maquette from the aliens movies...hope its 1/4

[PsychoCenobite]

DAMN IT!!! :monkey2

I'm trying so hard not to spend any money and they anounce this! I love Alien3!

I might even sell all my other alien statues and figures to get this!

PsychoCenobite :monkey5

[twistedfreak]

I'm gonna need to see some full detailed shots of this before I make any conclusions. I would have MUCH preferred a Alien from Alien one over this. But, this may turn out to be something cool too. It's still a sweet announcement. I may just get this piece.

[KAOSINLA]

Can't make any judgements until I see more pics, but for the time the CM Alien has my vote.

[Bannister]

If this had been an Alien Warrior from Aliens I would be all over it. I still may order this though.

[twistedfreak]

I was just looking at the QTVR for it, and it actually looks freaking SICK! I bet it's gonna be outta my price range though. I won't be surprised if it costs 1k.

[PsychoCenobite]

This is my favorite alien from my favorite alien film (Alien3 - Directors Cut)! But I can't get him! :monkey2

Damn it! :emperor

[screamingmetal]

Yeah I'd love to have one! This is also my favorite Alien design. One I think I hear Giger said was closest to his vision.

But it will be too expensive, if only I could win this one from Sideshow (please Sideshow!). :monkey2

And yeah Dave, Alien Resurrection was the worst, Whedon's worst writing aside from the Buffy movie (yes, I know it's not all his fault on both).

[JohnnyFavourite]

I' getting it for sure.
Great job Sideshow!!!!!!!!:chew

[DarkArtist81]

Yeah, this is a must own for me as well.... Alien 3 was a decent film, and I know if David Fincher had more time and a script that was nailed down and honed a bit more.... it would have been an amazing movie. The fact that he was able to make it as stylized and intense as it was... is a credit to his talent as a director. The making of this movie was like his own personal Hero's Trial....

As for the design I have always loved it! Very different and the only Alien we ever see that isn't from a human host. I was very impressed by the design and will never forget it. That's why I bought the brown Alien from HT and that is why I will be ordering this one as well..... On Flexpay more than likely, but still.... :lol

Where's that image from, on the SS site?

[DetroitSportsFan]

I'm not digging the pose.

[Darth_Thorpe]

ohhh man this is awsome, must have must have :monkey5, not my first chose in movies but i concider the alien saga a trilogy, (RES never happend) so as long as they make them from 1-3 its all cool, just lookin at that pic gives me a chill down my spine, awsome stuff SS!!

nudges SS 1/4 USCM :) all 12

[PosterBoyKelly]

I really want it. I just want a 1/4 Alien, I like the HT ones, but something this HUGE is too cool to pass. I like the pose, and the style. So I think it's the hotness.

Second worst Dave! AvP carries the title of 'worst Alien film ever' in my book! But even if those films are not what they should or could have been, the Aline design remains amazingly pure. I've never seen an "ugly" or pointless Alien so far. Looks like Giger did such a great job when he came up with the concept, that it is virtually impossible to destroy it.
This Alien3 Alien looks fingerlicking good. But I doubt that I'll buy it. Can't tell you why though.

i only prefer AVP because, though stupid, it makes me laugh. 3 is cool...but I still like the way the Alien looks.

[Darklord Dave]

Just watched Alien3 director's cut last night - and okay it's a little better than AvP, but I fell asleep through a lot of it. Still think Resurrection is much better.

[abake]

Oh man, this is beautiful!
I just love this design (well, I love them all, really) and I just wish we could get a 1/6 figure from HT for this creature as well.
All in all, it looks like an amazing year for Alien fans.

[King Darkness]

I think it looks great, but will most likely not be picking it up. Price and size will be the biggest problem for me.

[figuremaster_les]

Love ALIEN 3, but doubt I will get this as I just repainted that big Tsukuda 1/5 model I like better. Better pose to me. But this is VERY nice. Love to see more pics up close. Wonder how far they go on the details. There are many! That will be the maker-breaker for me.

[Shai Hulud]

alien 3 was a good movie.....:o

[Kookie]

I like the fact that the Maquette's don't have to outdue one another by getting taller and taller. It's cool to see that a pose can be used in scale with the previous maquettes but still conserve some space.

I most likely won't get this but think it's an amazing piece!!!

[abake]

So what scale is the CM alien? It would be cool if those two are in scale.

[DetroitSportsFan]

CM is 1/3 scale, I doubt this one is. Probably 1/4 or 1/5.

ouch........$899

[King Darkness]

Ouch is right!

I knew he would be out of my price range. but damn if those pix dont make me want this one even more.

[abake]

That is a beautiful statue!
But you would probably do much better tracking down a Tsukuda and having it sent to Les for custom painting...

[Bannister]

Those pics look amazing. $899.00 is alot but understandable given the detail.

[Shai Hulud]

SINCE ITS 1/4, I'M TEMPTED....

[PosterBoyKelly]

Too rich for my blood, pass.

[DarkArtist81]

For me it depends on the Flexpay arrangement. If it fits into the budget... I just might be able to afford it. If not... :monkey2

[occulum]

its either Darkness or this guy ...... sorry Mr Alien :monkey2

[Marcus is not dead]

$899.00 - available 2nd quarter 2007
so much money , so little time...
Sideshow should give us more time to save money for something in this range of price.

[Shai Hulud]

DITTO FOR ME..SAME DILEMMA...SAME RESULT....:rock

[screamingmetal]

I knew I wouldn't be able to afford it, but damn $900 smackers!
The only hope I have to own one of theses is a Sideshow contest, and there's not much hope to win one of those. :monkey2

No kidding. Alien 3 is such a horrible movie, IMO (including the director's cut). Easy pass on this even though it looks cool.

It's not the worst of the films. That would be Resurrection. That ridiculous Alien/human hybrid nonsense. What a horrible creation. (Also the worst use of Brad Dourif that I can remember in his history in film.)

Actually, AVP would be considered the worst, if one were to count that as part of the series... :monkey4

As for the sculpt, I think it's the best designed of all the Alien critters, and the most terrifying for me, personally.

[Boba Fett]

Definetely an awesome piece, but way too rich for my blood...

yep...this is the lobster on the menu, everyone wants it but can't afford it :lol

[Bullseye]

If its not Stan Winston I ain't paying that much. The SW predator only cost $999.

[galactiboy]

I didn't realize this was a 1/4 scale piece... thats pretty impressive. But, $899 is a lot of dough! Especially when the Darkness PF is so much more (IMO) for less money!!!

[figuremaster_les]

I agree.
However...

Now that I have seen the closeup shots of the A3, guys! This thing is PAINTED UP RIGHT!!! It may be worth it for accuracy. Just lettin' ya know. This is one accurate Maq! Consider it for completists!
Beautiful piece!

[creature4000]

I'm pumped for this. I was waiting for a decent Alien.. even if it's from A3.:chew

[Badvermin]

I could swing $450, tops for it. I guess I need a better job. Maybee I'll find a deal on ebay, otherwise I'll never own it.

[creature4000]

Damn! I agree 400ish would be mine... but the day I spend 900$ on a 1/4 scale item is when I need to re-think my life.:monkey2

[SideshowDusty]

This is a really bad-@$$ piece of work, created by the artists who brought the Dog Alien to life in Aliens3 - ADI (the effects studio created by two guys who worked with Stan Winston for a few years, Tom Woodruff and Alec Gillis). We've posted a new Ask Sideshow for Feb 12th, linked from our Production blog, that answers some questions about it, plus we'll have a feature blog entry about it in just a bit! http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?cat=26

AMAZING work!

No wonder it's so dead on...the ADI guys did it! Can't get closer than that.
Got me thinking....flexpay....maybe...wow!

[Darklord Dave]

Even if it is closer to Giger's original design I'd much prefer the man-in-suit of Alien or Aliens. The pose doesn't do much for me either. Of course I'd completely dismissed getting the Predator PF before I saw him in person - no way was I paying $1000 for no statue. That didn't last long either....

[Monk]

I know it goes up for order tomorrow. Anyone said yet what time?

[occulum]

I need to avoid this thread. :monkey1


the pose is one of the things I actually like in particular.
A nice break from the traditional standing pieces I have many of

[Seretur]

Terry, calmate! It's not an action figure! It won't sell out!

...well, in the first six months, at least. ;)

If they extended the FlexPay option to five or six months, I would get this thing. It is the one ultimate Alien piece I ever wanted -- yes, above any other film's design. And the actual sculpt is SO beautiful.

[figuremaster_les]

Good point. It will be around a while.
I am thinking on it...

[tomandshell]

We don't know for sure, but I would check in around 10 AM PST.

[Bannister]

I am too. At least there will be time to decide.

[woodsy]

I have been waiting for SS to produce an Alien maquette ever since I got my exclusive predator maquette. Though this is a nice looking piece, I'm quite disappointed they've chosen to produce a maquette from arguably the worst movie of the series. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer.

[abake]

I don't get this hate for Alien3.
It's miles above A:R or AvP, it has a great cast, brilliant cinematography and at heart a very sad and touching story that revolves around loss and redemption.
I wonder what would've happened if Fincher had got a better script and had more time and power to do things the way he believed they should've been done.

[woodsy]

I wonder what would've happened if Fincher had got a better script and had more time and power to do things the way he believed they should've been done.

But he didn't... which is exactly why I personally consider this movie to be the weakest of the four. Do I hate this movie.....no, I actually like it. I just don't like it as much as the other three. To me, Aliens was not only the high water point of the series, but it remains one of the best sci fi films I have ever seen.

[abake]

I'm more inclined towards Alien. I feel it is timeless whereas Aliens feels a bit dated sometimes.
Still, I love all of them! :D

[Gruson]

The hate for Alien 3 is there because of a lot of reasons:

Bad follow up to the incredible ALIENS movie.
They killed off Hicks and Newt...ridiculus.
It was originally going to be Aliens all over again but this time on Earth. The first teaser even hinted at it. What could have been. :(
Lame ending.

Cameron at one point was supposed to direct it but backed out.


For me, it's an ok movie. I too think it's much better than A:R or AVP.

All really good points... for me the movies go in descending order from Alien being my favorite to AVP and A:R battling it out at the bottom. I don't think any are terrible. But Alien and Aliens are just mind-blowing!

I agree. Alien 3 is a sorely unappreciated masterpiece. I love this film. I like it even more than Aliens. When I was 14 I thought Aliens was the best film ever made but the older I get I see how juvenile the film is. Fun, but juvenile. Alien 3 is more mature and rich in substance. People die. ^^^^^ happens. Alien Resurrection is the putrid turd of the Alien Franchise. I have the box set and want to use this disc as a drink coaster. That film is so awful that words cannot describe it and all I have to say is Newborn Alien and my stomach wretches with vomit. Winnona Ryder was just embarassingly awful. Sigourney was wooden as the clone Ripley. Everything about this film... the direction, the music, the cinematography, the production design, and most of all the putrid Joss Whedon script, should never have seen the light of day. I would rather be forced to watch repeated viewings of Batman & Robin in a straight jacket with my eyelids pryed open than to watch that film ever again.

[abake]

While I don't hate A:R, I do believe Whedon should be made to pay with his life for the silly mess that script is.

[Boba Fett]

Tell us how you really feel, dave... :lol

[PosterBoyKelly]

I love A:R, 3 is OK, my least fav. but that's not saying anything. I still love it, I just wish I could swing the monet for this, it'd be fantastic. But no chance.

[figuremaster_les]

Poor ALIEN 3....

OK, I am not NEARLY as down on AR as Dave, but I can appreciate his fervor for A3. I hated it when I first saw it, as I, like half of humanity it seems, was so stoked by ALIENS, that to be suddenly shocked into the film that was A3, seemed, at that time, an insult. I think that is how most people still see it.
But...
Like Dave, I grew up.
For one thing, there is this one small hint at what could have been, in ALIENS, at the end....at the very end, of the end credits...
I always liked how after all the stuff was done, even those final ASCAP screen actors guild logos, the works, and the music fades...you can hear the scuttling of a facehugger... in ALIENS. So, why do that? I mean, our heroes in deep cryo-sleep...all is well....Hicks and Newt live....and the sound of a facehugger....Cameron did that.
It is interesting in that it does indeed lead directly into the hell that became Alien 3. As it pretty much is.

I realize now that the movies are about Ripley as much as the Aliens, even though an Alien film could have been made without her of course, but with her character, at least through A3, there is a bleak and somber message.
And it has a LOT to do with Special Order 937 from the first film.

THAT DAMNED COMPANY!!!

So, really, what would another ALIENS clone movie have been anyway? A lot of yadda yadda yadda. And NOT what the franchise really is about. Not to me anyway.
So, there.

I like A3 and feel the art is amazing, and it has every bit as interesting a cast and oneliners and funny stuff and all, as ALiens does. Just not "Marines". That's all. But I'll keep it. It makes me laugh. And it does make for one serious movie.
Love it or hate it, it is not a movie you can ignore. Not entirely. It's more like Carpenter's THE THING, than any of the other Alien movies, and it seems, everyone is ok with that bleak story....

Food for thought. :D

Now, how to get up $$$$$ for this Maq???

Oh, no real comments on AR. Or ALIENS AFTERTHOUGHT....
I actually enjoy it myself. But it seems as removed from the series as is AVP. So, no harm done to me.
Hey, it has ALIENS in it!!!!

[abake]

Absolutely Les.
With Hicks and Newt alive and well, where else could you go but into Aliens 2?
And it would be very difficult to keep an interesting story with a crippled Hicks and an enervating Newt screaming around. Unless it became a movie about the three of them stuck in a spaceship with an alien on the loose. But then you have Alien 2.
So I think it was a wise decision to kill them off.

[occulum]

thats pretty much my opinion on AR as well.
While it didnt really fit with the series, I enjoyed watching it.

Havent seen A3 in so long I barely even remember it. Need to give it anothr spin.
Even Fincher mentioned in an interview awhile back that he hates the movie. But I dont let other's opinions sway my own... or i try not to.

Plus I completely seperate the Art Direction of a movie from the movie itself. Just cause a movie sucks wont stop me from buying collectibles of bad-ass characters only cause the movie sucked... and that A3 Maquette is indeed bad-ass

All very well put Les, and that statement is exactly why I think people hate all the other Alien films after Aliens, People wanted to see more of the Marines and they never got it. It's surprising that none have decided to add Colonial Marines or something similar into an Alien or AVP film, since they went so action movie fluff afterwards. And the truth is I wouldn't mind seeing a few movies like that myself, I'd even like to see a Sci-Fi film with the same Colonial Marines that doesn't have the classic Alien in it.

About killing off Newt and Hicks; I liked Hicks and Newt and I wouldn't have minded if they kept them alive in a sequel or two. However when I saw Alien 3 in the theater, the first thing I see is that little girl who may have been a bit annoying at times but you still cared for her, Newt get offed so quick and brutally sent a chill down my spine. I thought it was a brilliant move to just slap the audience who were sitting there expecting an action film just like the last sequel with the death of a child. Nothing is more horrific then that and it quickly set the mood for the rest of the movie taking it back to it's roots, horror. Not all of it was successful but for the most part I thought it was good.

Brilliant move indeed. Alien 3 makes an unexpected left turn and the heroes are killed and Ripley's luck finally runs out and fate catches up to her. Alien 3 is the PERFECT conclusion to one of the greatest trilogies of motion pictures ever filmed. Alien 4 should have began with entirely NEW characters in different situations. They could have done the Earth War that was originally promised by Alien 3's theatrical teaser trailer with the tag-line "On Earth, EVERYONE can hear you scream" which was part of the reason why so many people were let down when they saw it. Unfortunately, at the time, CGI was still in its infancy so the idea of doing a full-scale Alien invasion (heh heh) would have been monetarily impractical for them to conceive without the Cameron low-budget trickery of fooling the audience into believing there are more Aliens onscreen than there really are. I think he had 6 full-sized Aliens that were shot in different angles and through careful editing made it look like swarms were coming out of the walls. Today, this would be very easy to make as we have seen a taste of it in AVP.

Yeah, it looks like a real beauty...

[dekadentdave]

I can't wait until Hot Toys does this in 1:6 fully articulated scale.

[Vader AL]

if i didn't really want the predator excl. over this piece i'd get it but that's $765+ i could put towards it. sweet piece and not a space hog b/c of the pose.

[Seretur]

The Flexpay on this comes out to $225 a month. TEMPTING INDEED.

[creature4000]

so why is this thing so much money? Seriously?

With that museum of yours, mate, how could you not? :rock

[Gruson]

Grab a measuring tape and see how big this thing is!

For real, it's not small.

[creature4000]

I guess I'm just worried about the price.. I've been waiting for a good Alien... but I'm not rich like some of you!

I'm not rich either, which is why I flip.

I like this thread, so I will stop.

[twistedfreak]

I am so tempted to get this piece...

did you????:monkey3

[WetaWork]

I'm on the fence. This would look great next to my exclusive Predator. :o

[DarkArtist81]

I want this thing bad.... but sadly... cannot afford that much a month on top of what I already have coming. Maybe one day, but not now... too damn broke. Looks great though...Just add it to the list of stuff I can't afford.

Queen Alien Maquette
Predator Maquette
1:1 Predator Bust
1:1 Alien Bust
*Alien 3 Maquette*

:lol

There's one significant difference with this piece, though: it's the first FULL Alien sculpt in polystone form Sideshow's yet released.

All the others were busts of one kind or another.

[Idioteque]

I've gotta get this one. Beautiful sculpt and a great companion piece to my Predator Maquette excl.

Flexpay open till 13th May, so time to sleep on it.

[creature4000]

is the warrior bust sold out?

[Reinhardt]

is the warrior bust sold out?

on the sideshow site it is, but I'm sure you could find it at an online retailer.

[Gruson]

Anyone have more pics of it from TF?

[creature4000]

I still don't get why this is so much more expensive then lets saw.. PF Darkness. It's not that much better and the detail is about the same.

[Darth Waller]

For some reason, maquettes seem to be a lot more expensive than PFs. This maquette seems to fall in line with the Predator's.

[the Doctor]

I still don't get why this is so much more expensive then lets saw.. PF Darkness. It's not that much better and the detail is about the same.

its been put together by adi from the original molds from the film.
there will never be a better dog alien produced ever,adi worked on the film
and now are offering a once in a lifetime chance to get this piece.

once this is sold out,good luck on getting something better!!!

[abake]

Damn!
You make one great argument there.

[Karma]

es of 500 :cool:

[-=LoneWolf=-]

They're doing a 1/4 scale Alien and it's from the worst of the films?

Discuss...
hardly... i think Fincher's work could possibly be the best after the first one. it may not have been as exciting as Aliens, but it was certainly heavier on subtextual elements. it had depth of human drama, conflict and emotions. people just didn't like it because of the dark and depressing tone of the film.

[abake]

What he said.:maul

[Trilogy]

es of 500 :cool:

I expected it to be a little lower but 500 is ok.

[Praetorian380]

im still looking forward to it!! It looks really freakin cool and Im sure in person it will absolutly BAD**S!! I have always liked the look of the dog alien althought the Alien Warrior was the best in the series - the only one I did not like too much were the ones in Alien Ressurection - that movie was a disgrace to the franchise!!
Someone please do ALIEN 5 - JAMES CAMERON!!! RIDLEY SCOTT!!! WHERE ARE YOOOOUU!!!!

I do wish the ES was a little lower but I think 500 is still ok.
