It does look like a production piece.

I could be wrong but I think they also found a way to affix the two front leg/arms to the base. The palm’s seem to sit more flat as if the were secured to the base more. The palm’s on the prototype sat up more off the base.

I was thinking you would need all four limbs secured to the base to make this piece work and they were having issues with it they said.

Looks pretty damn good imo, they actually improved a few concerns, they have also rotated the tail tip. If nothing else, it could maybe use a little more of a tint to the dome. But you'd never get a paint app anything like this in a million years from Sideshow or coolprops etc. I had pretty much decide to cancel this, not because I love it any less (still one of the best Alien collectibles ever made imo) But only because I seriously want the ludicrously expensive Mamegyorai Big chap and can't afford both. But now I'm questioning that decision again. This thing is going to make for one heck of a centerpiece I think.

Yeah , those seams are pretty much nonexistent. Front and rear.

Looks good.

I can't wait for this.

It's amazing how lighting can make or break the look of a paint job.

Looks great. Looking forward to it. Can't say the same to that 1/1 hand on the right though...

As I've said on the other forum, anyone else think the dome goes down far too low at the front side? Makes the lower jaw look tiny like a piranha. Because of this I think the open mouth head looks better.

Still doesn't put me off getting it though.

 

[The Chaver]

Well, take a look at these

I think its just the angle in way the photos are taken.

yes, i'm not worried, now that we have seen the beast...I just wish we would be able to pay the last balance now and the shipping next month ...i'm just afraid of the shipping costs to Europe, this plus taxes it will be around 1K more to pay next month..

Here's some footage from Sisko, the dog is at 15 mins and it looks amazing!

The tail bugs me. When it is straight, the tip curves up. Unless that tail has a twist in it, it looks upside down to me.

Yup, just got the same email delay.

Depends on what is used as reference. On the Boss filming puppet the tip would face up if it was straight. On the original ADI 1/3 scale maquettes the tip would face down if straight and no twists in the tail.This is how ADI had it orientated in the original design.The SS 1/3 scale maquette has it oriented to the original design.

The new ADI 1/3 scale maquettes have it posed like the puppet with the tip facing up if it was straight with no twists.

Coolprops had it oriented to the original ADI design and then Prime1 changed it and now Prime1 has orientated it back,which now matches the original design again.

Here is a picture of one of the original ADI maquettes that was given to the screenwriter of A3,the late John Fasano.Closely follow the orientation of the tail to the tip.Next is one of the Boss Filming puppets.Boss made changes for the puppet that slightly differed from the original ADI design.If you look closely you will also notice that Boss Film shortened the tail by several segments on the puppet vs. the original ADI design. Count the segments








The CP/P1 piece.

CP/P1 looked to have very closely tried to match the look of the head on the fullsize piece that ADI made for promotion of the film and was used for the cover photo on the CineFX magazine.

Here is a picture of the fullsize when it was still hanging in ADI's shop. Below that is the CineFX maqazine cover photo.
