HOT TOYS "Dog Alien" ALIEN3 FIGURE!!!

[xr6.turbo]

Sideshow is seriously overcharging for the dog alien. The dog alien is still priced the same as the "Aliens" and "AVP" Alien (about $115). Import might not be such a bad idea with this one considering that you'll pay about the same with shipping and you'll get it much faster.

What page are you looking at cause the price i see is $149.99.

If it were $115 i would order it. But $149.99 for an Alien "NO WAY"

I want it. However, its made of Rubber. So I wont chuck my money on another HT Alien ever again.

I know what you mean. I got the Grid Alien and was very disappointed with it.
I was going to get the AVP Brown Alien but i decided to pass(they need something more with the aliens)
So its just Preds for now.

This is the same prototype from SDCC, except now they have put it in a crouching pose and takin some pics of it. It looks looks way retarded. They haven't reworked it at all.

Why can't they just got the 1/4 scale puppet used in the movie and scale it down to 1/6, is it so friggin difficult.

Sorry for the confusion...$115 is the preorder price in Asia.

What can I say that you haven't said, or need to say?

Love that the figure can get into crouching and running poses!

The poses look weird to me.

Glad to know that I'm not alone on that one FACE. I thought the same damn thing.

But, it's a cool fig none the less.

 

[Sabres21768]

The poses look weird to me.

It really does.

The hip has to go too far back to be able to get into that pose.

Doesn't look natural.

jesus... what the hell have they done to this thing ?.

I don't own any HT Aliens and maybe someone can explain to me why they're, IMO, so high in price for what you get.

Also, if you were to get ONE Alien to go with your Pred collection, which one would it be?

Wait for the "Alien" alien figure. But if you have to have one soon, I'd say go with the AVPR alien, it'd probably fit in with your preds, especially if you have the Wolf.

As for their price-to-quality ratio, I say you'd have to hold one in your hands to truly understand why they're so great. They're the only true premium 1/6 alien figures out there that are highly articulated and feature a rubber skin to hide all the joints and articulation.

He does look pretty weird...
Come on Hot Toys!! Step up with this one!!

That very well may be, since I've only seen pictures. When you compare a Pred to an Alien, it just seems like there's alot more going on with the Predator, but I never took into consideration the workmanship involved.

If you think of them compared to other companies these are still a great deal. Most figure use a standard body that is used over and over again, however this body is very specific to the Alien and at most is reused a few times. So you have a lot of R&D going into each one that doesn't get spreadoout over a hundred or so figures.

Also, just compare it to recent Medicom figures... these are huge, very well articulated and (usually) top notch. Yet, still sell for about $20 less than a standard Medicom figure.

The problem is that the Ilium is attached to the hip on Hot Toys' figure, so when you move the leg, the ilium moves with it. It's unnatural when compared to normal anatomy and to pictures of the actual Dog Alien.
Check out Sideshow's maquette and Diorama:

Only the leg moves forward, the Ilium stays stationary, it shouldn't rotate.
But at least it can crouch and run, I wouldn't want a Dog Alien that couldn't stand on all fours.

EDIT:
I just checked out the Maquette in 360, and the Ilium DOES move along with the leg on that one too. It may look unnatural, but I think that's the way it was intended since the Maquette was made by Amalgamated Dynamics, the same SFX company that brought it to life in the movie.
