Statue Sideshow Alien Queen Maquette

[67L88Stingray]

i remember it was written ABS, PVC, Polystone and now it's only written Polystone...

Probably a mistake or to hide that those others are used, as some still have a negative feeling towards them. I highly doubt they would actually change it to all polystone.

the text still says "with sinewy limbs and a segmented PVC tail curling protectively around her hellish offspring"

Polystone is just plastic resin with some stone dust added to it.

I don't want this thread to go down that road, but I can show you numerous statues with leaning and warping issues from ABS and PVC. Softer material = easier ability to move over time. Period.

SS has plenty of full polystone statues that lean too, it's not just about the materials.

I've pre-ordered her majesty - she just looks so disgusting and glorious I had to!!
I know the warriors are out of scale and its not 100% accurate, but I honestly don't mind - it makes her look all the more magnificent!

Are there any updates on this? I've got 2 or 3 payments left. Haven't seen anything related to it, contrary to the CP Dog Alien maquette...

Some pictures from the Facebook groups popped up today.

This is still a proto , not a production piece and the packaging wasn't good at all, so it could explain why the spears on her back are a little bit crooked.

Holy bend in the dorsal spikes

Yikes. Hopefully that's not from them being PVC or something and a sign of what people have to look forward to.

OMFG that’s atrocious and unacceptable. Sideshow needs to just stop...

 

[Vince_be]

Again...Those pics are from a proto sent in a very loose and bad packaging by Sideshow to a store in France . Doesn't mean the final production will be better but be aware about what you're seeing.

I said it before and I'll say it again....Neca queen...for 12% the cost....at this point other than the price (and implied buyers remorse), I'm having a hard time see a difference.

No, that's directly because of the crappy PVC they are using nowadays. If you think this is the ONLY one that will have that issue, you are mistaken.

Totally agree with you. If anything, this is fair warning for anyone that’s ordered.

This would scare me if I had this on pre-order. I'll stick with my Aliens Queen Diorama version from way back when Sideshow used higher quality materials and sold products at reasonable prices.
