(Written by Mrs. Gregory's son) This figure is AWSOME! It looks just like one of the aliens from the movies. It is very well detailed comes with 3 face huggers which you can place any where. The alien attaches to the base in 2 different stances. There is also a toung shooting function, you just push the button on the back of his head and it shoots right out! It is fully posable and the tail is bendable. This figure is eduational because it lets you look closely at the alien and the face huggers so you can observe their awsome architecture. There was only one problem which i cannot fix, my alien's head was scratched by one of the wires that held in the box :( Other than that I would highly recomend this figure!

McFarlane's 12" Alien is darn near perfect. I count 14 points of articulation, plus the bendy tail. The construction seems pretty durable; however, as with the small-scale version, this figure is hard to stand without the base. It can be done, but you'll have to work at it. My only other complaint would be the "skull cap." For whatever reason the front of the cap is completely opaque while the rest is completely clear. In the original movie, the whole skull cap was just slightly translucent. These are minor points, though. I would recommend this figure to all Alien fans.

McFarlane has done it again -- their new 12" ALIEN figure is by far the best sculpt of the creature yet! I have the Kenner version from 1979, and this matches it in sheer coolness. I don't know "fun" kids will find it, but it has close to 20 points of articulation so it can be posed in a variety of ways for display (stand and 3 facehuggers included). Plus, the inner tongue shoots out, ready to bite any of your 12" G.I. Joe figures right in the head... (Unlike the '79 version, however, the jaws are permanently molded in the open position.)

Another cool thing about it is that they molded it in translucent, black plastic and then painted over it. If you hold it up to the light, it looks truly creepy.

This thing has some nice heft to it but at the same time seems too fragile in places to be "played" with extensively. Definitely designed more for the adult collector, but really worth the price -- comic shops are asking $45 for it so buy one quick before Amazon catches on.
