Hey all! Just posting this as a general discussion regarding all of the most recently announced busts/ heads by CoolProps and the material they may/ may not be using. I notice on Sideshow's website that no materials are listed for either the sculpts or even the bases, as I'm sure others have noticed. When I zoom into the pics of the Alien Warriors (and even pics of the Dog), it almost appears as though the bases they are using are made of wood. Could that be possible? And in regards to the P2 bust and the Aliens, is it possible CoolProps is using polystone or fiberglass? I know some of the secondary market Alien casts have been done in fiberglass, yet Sideshow's original was an incredible success in polystone. Like most, im of the opinion that I want an incredible looking piece, regardless of the material it's made from. I would however like to know what to expect.
Also wondering if the materials themselves are listen on the CoolProps site. Can anyone here read Japanese? I'm hoping it's there, I'm just unable to translate it.
So what's everyone's thoughts on what we may be getting? I'm personally a bit torn on placing an order on all of the announced pieces so far because I'm unsure what to expect in quality and material? I'm hoping someone who may have seen a production piece at a show in Japan could weigh in on this or even a representative from CoolProps, if we're lucky enough to have one around here.
I've dipped my toe into the CoolProps pond and have only ordered the blue Alien Warrior so far so I can get myself a first hand look before I order the rest. Shame is, it's going to be quite a while before I have the warrior in hand and by then, everything may be sold out.
Decisions decisions...
