This figure looks really REALLY accurate to my eye. With the exception of the front of the dome where it meets the upper jaw line -- which looks just a little squared off to me. But I'm nit picking. I'm curious what do Alien figure collectors regard as the BEST, most accurate version of the ALIEN? Thanks in advance!

Looks great! I just pre-ordered. In regards to which is most accurate, hard to say when it comes to the Big Chap. I have the Hot Toys 18" figure from a few years back and he looks great but not a spot on version, he's a little too sleak and idealized. How tall is this guy?

At only 1/10 scale and in a slightly crouched position.....this Alien Big Chap statue is only 22 cm (8.7 inches) high.
Would be great if they did a 1/4 or 1/3 scale of this.opcorn

I like the display features as well, my 18" guy is so big I don't know where to put him!

I'm quite partial to the Xeno from Alien: Isolation that Neca put out. It's essentially the Big Chap minus the more human qualities that come with it being a guy in a rubber costume. I guess it's more of an "idealized" version of him but that gives it more resonance with me.

It seems to me the most similar (99%) to the original costume worn in the film. It is different from the model made by Giger for reasons of wearability. I prefer the giger model. To my point of view, this is the most faithful sculpture that exists on the market.

That youtube vids awesome but the seam around the back of the head just kills me! Talk about pulling you out of the moment! Still a nice looking figure. Love the suit wrinkles.

- So. In the universe, I do not hear anyone your scream.

 

[Bryancd]

You know what was pretty accurate was the old model kit of the ALIEN.

I love my Sega ALIEN statue. It was available in Japan by mail
order with the Sega ALIEN game. The first picture is from Google images while the second is of my figure. The face on this has the best likeness I've seen.
