Alien Giger Maquette Inside Look

[Sabres21768]

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the pose either.

Far too reminiscent of the old Palisades piece.

But, I know I will own this anyway.

"I'm really pleased that this time, we've gone to our premium format interpretation."

Does that not mean this is a premium format figure? Or is he referring to maquette's as their premium creation format?

 

[azurepred]

we wont know until we see the finished product. Technically, the original P1 maquette is a pf, but they labeled it as a maquette, so who knows

I'm a huge Alien fan - got the blu-rays in the egg when it was released - but the only collectibel I got is the Aliens Hero Pulse Rifle ex from HCG. As for the rest, it's either way to expensive or I didn't really like it. But I would be all over a Ripley pf.

As for this ...... if the price is anyway near the $1000 mark I would rather get the regular pulse rifle, that piece is worth that pricetag, this one is not.

Looks like this will be a 1/5th scale PF not a 1/4 scale judging by the video since there is a height comparison with the 1/5 Punisher comiquette at 46 seconds into the video.

Liking it so far. Need to see more to be sure.

it showed the Alien statue being 24 inches tall, prolly without the base too, so that would make it 1/4 scale and taller than the P1 maquette IF that meausrement isnt including base.

I was so excited until I saw the pose...

 

[Batty]

did you listen to the video? thats exactly what they got the idea from

No. Why would they want to do that?

 

[NickNack]

Why would this be around $1000? Is it just me or is that a crazy amount for this statue? I don't get why it would cost more than the Hulk Comiquette.

 

[ozzfan84]

Whenever I look at the Aliens maquette, I can't believe it cost $500 more than the Hellboy one, which easily is bigger.

 

[usswanker]

Nice look! Fluid yet true to the character. Cant wait to see this in its full glory.

 

[samueljd]

Does anyone know what scale this piece will be?

 

[INFECDEAD]

Does anyone know what scale this piece will be?

1/4 scale they said

 

[INFECDEAD]

Pose reminds me of this picture.
With no name plate on the base I am liking this - I will be able to turn the statue to suit the pose to how I like since at the moment I don't like it as much front on as I do side on.

idk, you can either look at it as being a creepy looking pose for a monster or a monster playing peek-aboo with you . I'm not sure what kind of pose would be better, this piece sure beats the hell out of the Aliens maquette as far as pose goes. I like it better than the cm too. A lot of ppl hate the P1 maquette pose too, but that seems to still be very high in demand.

Why would this be around $1000? Is it just me or is that a crazy amount for this statue? I don't get why it would cost more than the Hulk Comiquette.

well this wont be cheaper than the warrior maquette, and this looks to be a bigger piece than the warrior, so that would make it at least $100 more than the warrior maquette. I would imagine a lot more money went into development of a piece like this license wise and time wise.

Whenever I look at the Aliens maquette, I can't believe it cost $500 more than the Hellboy one, which easily is bigger.

...........i had a lot of hope for that maquette as i like the design of those aliens better, but it fell way short of expectations. Hopefully they release a kick ass warrior LSB when the line gets moving, so ppl that missed the 1:1 could get a good representation of that alien without spending 4k. I wouldnt mind the inaccurate blue color either.

I'm not a absolute fan of the pose, but I think they choose one of the better ways to represent it, elegant and menacing. The Alien has a very particular body language and expression, it moves in a slow, elegant but weird way. And it's been proven difficult to choose a static pose that expresses all this.

I wish they change the hands though, the one on the prototype are too nosferatu like. I may get it... just waiting on final pics

I like more these positions:

 

[ozzfan84]

The first one isn't showing up and the second one looks like it's tap dancing.
