5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply the best sculpt of the alien ever made!, June 26, 2008

If you're a fan of the Alien franchise (and chances are you are, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this) you simply MUST have this figure.
That's all you really need to know, but if you want to, read on.

First off, the most important (IMHO) part: accuracy and sculpting.
You won't find a more accurate figure or statue of this seminal H.R. Giger design anywhere! It perfectly reproduces every little detail of Giger's work, including the oxen jaws on the heels, the two thumbs on each hand, the tubes that connect the jaw to the back, the flat (not round!) tail... everything's here! Even the white gums! The detail is mind-boggling.

Paint apps: they are fairly basic, but mostly well done. The one bothersome detail is the detail underneath the clear dome, where the paint apps are not the best. Fortunately, they are not that noticeable from a normal viewing distance and are not distracting. Otherwise, the color scheme is perfect to reflect the bio-mechanical nature of the creature in the movie.

Articulation: excellent. This figure is extremely well-articulated for a figure of this type. The joints are engineered and designed in such a way as to be the least intrusive and respect the flow of the sculpt as much as possible. Also, they are very very tight, so care should be exercised when moving them. Best bet is to heat them up a bit either with hot water or a blow-dryer to loosen them up a bit. Don't force them or you might break them! In any case, it holds poses very well and is very well balanced.

Packaging: I'm not a big fan of packaging... so I don't really care too much either way, but be warned, this is twisty hell! Also, the figure comes unassembled inside. You have to attach the back tubes, the fifth spike and the lower legs. The lower legs are designed to have a very tight fit (important to hold up the weight) so, again, use a blow dryer or hot water to soften the female part. Do NOT under any circumstance heat up the male plugs!

Overall: fantastic figure! Could easily cost twice as much and would still be a great value. Oh, and do get the 9" as well. Incredibly, the detail is just as crisp!

It didn't take long. What started as an incredibly detailed model ended with the situation from which I now post this Amazon review. Pardon any misspellings or typos in this review as its rather difficult to proceed stuck to a wall covered in goo. First they came for the elders in the household then the children. They appear to have completely avoided the synthetic human models in my house. I attempted to hide as long as I could in the ventilation shaft only to scavenge food during the day as they mostly come at night, well mostly. Make sure you are very careful assembling the model I personally used a hair dryer. Avoid their blood as well it stings like hell. Also be sure to check above and below don't just rely on your motion tracker to locate them when they eventually become loose.
