I agree another Alien movie will result in new figures/stuff. But I have the impression the SS 1/4 Big Chap will stay a special piece due to it's unique pose. So new editions of the ALIEN may not drive down the price for it. I decided to be patient and keep watching for a reasonable price.

I am not sure yet if I am going to buy it for the 2500,00 Euros. I also think that this price is very high and hope this development is a temporary thing. But I fear the 2000 USD + x could become the entry level for the Sideshow Big Chap Maquette in the future. I have the impression it started...

Hello, I am offered a Sideshow Big Chap maquette for 2500 Euros here in Europe. Compared to the latest ebay.com deals for around 2000 USD, this price is quite "fair". Because for us europeans 2000 USD means a total final price of over 2500 USD when adding insured shipping by airmail, 19% VAT...

This thread shows brilliant work and is very inspiring, thank you tinister!! Being new to Sideshow Freaks, I needed some time digging my way through older content. It is sad to hear, that already in 2011 some of the PVC/Vinyl suits of the Kane/Dallas figures started dissolving. I have both...

Thank you for your replies. Is there an experience value with Hollywood Collectibles how long they take usually from announcement to first prototype images? Thank you!

Hallo Python, thank you for your reply. I never got warm with the Nostromo Model Kits by Halcyon or AEF for being way too expensive in exchange for the quality. So I am curious if the Hollywood Collectibles ship is the version I saved my money for. Hope they will give us prototype images soon.

A good Nostromo model would be very welcome. Sad enough there are only 4 models/toys in 35 years. I do not own any stuff from Hollywood Collectibles, so may I ask what quality they are usualy? I took a look at their upcoming Powerloader that is very nice. But the complex Nostromo surface is a...

Thank you very much for sharing, VLAGAS! :clap I love the game very much and I would buy the complete line of Xeno, Amanda and Joes to represent the most important characters. But this does not sound good. I get the impression NECA only tries to make the existing Xeno1979/Ripley more...

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS) Hello :wave A "Ripley 1979" figure is what I definitly want >> correction: NEED!! So if everyone from Hot Toys reads this thread, add another chalk line on the blackboard. I saw the protoype images and you can count me as a...

Well, not limited on figures of course I always offer international shipping and till today there was never a problem. My personal rules: I ship items internationally with a value over 10 Euros/Dollars only with a tracking number (comes with insurance). This gives confidence for both sides and...

Very difficult to answer this question. As the question of "fair" is always connected to the degree of wanting an item, IMHO. I bought mine at ebay (Europe) for about 380 Euros. The condition was brand new in sealed box with no damages. Considering the fact I REALLY wanted this Figure and...

Hello, I want to introduce myself as a fan of Ridley Scott's movie "ALIEN" since day 1 who mainly collects cinematic items like lobby cards, posters or press stuff. A friend of mine who used to collect the 1:6 Gi Joe/Universal Soldier/Dragon lines brought me in contact with 1:6 collectable...

Hello davejames, I personaly do recommend buying this figure. But my point of view is that of an "ALIEN" fan, so I might be prejudiced. The molding of the Spacesuit is very nice. I personaly think it was the right decision not sewing it the classical way. This makes the ribbed surface very...

Hello, :wave This my first posting at Sideshow Freaks. I am a huge Alien Fan and really like this forum with it's discussions. I just read the last pages in this thread and I want to add a short information about the question, why the Xenomorph in Alien:Isolation has those strange looking...
