Right...
Normal version = normal statue / lifesize maquette intended- perceived color
Special version= more closely resembles suit "prop
" actual colors for filming

Right but thats not the same statue thats in gruyere, right? Same mold but not painted the same either...i believe the statue in gruyere was painted, with the same intent as the normal, w darker colors, sans the brighter highlights ...the equivalent of having an all-black vader helmet without the gunmetal highlights to accentuate the design for filming ...
From what I saw when I went to Giger's museum in Gruyere the ALIEN statue was just black...very dark.
I can tell you guys that it was really impressive to be able to see the real creature standing right in front of you...just Epic
I felt I was in the Nostromo

I wonder, if in that space, they would hear you scr

I'm going to go with "no" they would not hear you scream. It's just one of those silly rules like "don't feed them after midnight".

Got this statue a few days ago. What a beauty, it's proportions are perfect, makes my Marmit look a little funny. When it came the tail broke off in transit which was horrible until I realized the break was where it was supposed to be glued to the body originally in kit form. So no big deal, I just reglued it back and it looks perfect again. I have a question, anyone know where I can get a display case for this for a reasonable price?

Congrats! Still waiting for my replacement =)
I felt the same way about my Marmit ... not the 9" retro style Marmit...

This was a little weird at first -- made the Marmit look really kinda strange...
This is a forced perspective shot -- the Marmit on the right is approximately 23" tall and the Sano is around 18"-19"

hi, i, m new here so im not so up today. i realy like this sado alien. its so close to the movie! well, my wife would kill me if i would get one
the thing with the tail is horrible! ive got already some cheap alien kits and i think its always the problem with plastic. well i m an art student and now i decided to sculpt my own alien figure. ist not so much on detail of course, but it was a try to make an bronze or an aluminium cast. the scale is also about 1/6 or smaller. 40cm high when its standing. so, it would be cool to habe an sado alien cast i aluminium wouldnt t it? in metal, its no way to break a tail.

Marmit is technically non-scale --- I took a forced perspective shot to compare details...you can see how large it is compared to the Sano in the previous pics....I took a few forced perspectives just for comparison
