Any word on when retailers will be shipping this? I've got him on order through Alter Ego.
Normally I understand the complaints about inaccuracy. They're often things I don't care about but I get them. In this case If we're talking about the final in-hand Alien I don't see what's so horribly inaccurate about it. It just baffles me. Is it the tongue/inner jaw? I will agree that's wrong at least in color and perhaps even in scale (too small).
When compared side by side with the Medicom I don't see how the Medicom is so much more accurate. The only differences I see are scale, paint work, and slightly more accurate teeth shapes on the Medicom. The back "mollars" aren't quiet right on the Hot Toys.

None of these seem like the order-cancelling horrible how could they have possibly screwed up so badly inaccuracies it seems some people see. I just don't get it. I was totally on board with some of the ?????ing until I saw the in-hand pics which look pretty damn amazing. They fixed all the major issues from the first prototype and even from the second prototype the dome looks more correct to me as do the sort of lip area.
...The Medicon isn't totally without made up detail itself. The most obvious example being the cord around the edge of the dome.
I dunno guys, maybe Giger's Alien will always be a tough one for toy companies to nail. There still isn't a definitive version, and even then the differences in the suits used on screen, personal preference over skull visibility etc, will mean that no-one is ever truly happy.
this looks a little better.
The lower teeth on the figure are covered up a bit more, but what are the differences that make this such a crap figure?
Woot, finally got mine! This is all I saw before it got wrapped up and put under the tree.......
