YOUR MAJESTY - or - A DREAM BECOMES TRUE

For years I had the desire, one day to own a life-size Queen. Due to the rarity and the absurd prices, I assumed that this would actually remain forever a dream and wish. In so many threads here I have written again and again ... "one day I will have a lifesize queen" ..... this has always been my greatest wish and also personally the Holy Grail for me as an alien collector. .... and finally .... I HAVE A QUEEN! ... Yes, it is true!

Some may still remember ... a few months ago, a Queen in a very poor condition was offered for auction on a Dutch marketplace. It is a very rare Distortions Unlimited Queen of which only a few pieces have ever been produced. The US Company Distortions Unlimited (DU) acquired the Alien license and the forms/molds of the Alien Queen in the 1990s. These were then sold directly through DU in the US and Morris Costumes in the UK.

Well, the queen offered on the marketplace was auctioned off, as I mentioned, and I assumed that I would never be able to buy them and win an auction. So I did not care anymore. After a few months, as part of my research into the history of the lifesize Queens figures, I came across this auction again. Out of interest, I asked the seller if I could receive information on who bought it and where it was sold. The seller then tells me ... "You can have the queen". That was my opportunity! And now the Queen is in my possession. Yippiiiiiiiii.

According to my information, it is the only one DU lifesize queen in Europe. All other known Queens are in Japan and the USA. Unfortunately …. Is this Queen in a very bad general condition and not complete. So I miss the arms and 3 back spikes. However, the most important parts like head, body and legs are present. So here's the question for everyone: Can anyone help with arm procurement?

The whole project is very elaborate and costly ... but I must not forget ... I have here an object that is my personal holy grail and of which very few exist worldwide at all.

Wow. Is that ever amazing! Frankly restoring that would be amazing! That's a fantastic opportunity to have something unique and make it your own due to its present condition.

Congrats on the find!

Unfortunately I live in Canada, which as far as most of the rest of the world is concerned may as well be on the moon. I don't actually think there are any pieces like this here but for your sake will keep my eyes open for you!

Grats again!

Thank you for your words. Yes it will be a very hard way but it will be worth it. For me as an alien figure collector the holy grail.

Unfortunately, the arms are lost. but these can possibly also be postmodeled. I suspect that one of the previous owners as the only "normal large part" in his collection and the rest has sold because of the size.

Now if someone has a contact or can help, I would be very grateful.

Admins if the pictures with my url are not allowed please contact me then enfterne then the pictures.
 
Meanwhile, I was able to contact the former manufacturer Distortion Unlimited. I can get arms :) yippiiiii
