Within seconds of opening and the hand snaps off. Do you think they bothered to include spare connectors? Uppercase WTF Hot Toys?!
one more proof that HT loathes making aliens and predators.Within seconds of opening and the hand snaps off. Do you think they bothered to include spare connectors? Uppercase WTF Hot Toys?!
just checked the A1 figure. it has details on fingers and palms. WTF is this? reminds me of old predator feet - the ones without sandals - which looked like zombie rotten flesh.
Is his suit made out of rubber or some kind of flexible plastic? Or is the only rubber part on this figure on his mouth?
I can see, though, why people would not buy two. This is not for building up an Alien army. They would all just be standing there like Stormtroopers, and it wouldn't look right.
Mine arrived from Sideshow yesterday. Excuse the crappy Instagram photo, and please ignore the wires and dust on my desk Took this photo just after taking it out of the box. The right hand wasn't as pushed in as it should have been in this pic ... It snaps in much more neatly than that. I based the pose on a rad pose from a rad poster earlier in this thread (just checked - that rad poster was Xenowolf!).
I love it! It's big and bad-arse. I love the Aliens films as much as anyone in my generation, but I am not a deep enough fan that I would notice any inaccuracies in the sculpt. My inner twelve-year-old, recalling the thrill of watching 'Aliens' for the very first time, is VERY happy.

But as one fig, alone? An example of its kind? Gosh. It's great. Lovely an menacing. It will stand out in my modest collection for sure. But it is a fearsome standing alien, not a crawling or leaping or climbing alien. This kind of posing would suit Big Chap quite nicely, actually, but we see a lot more agility in 'Aliens'.
Still, as an average Joe I have no real issues. Very content. The Tenth Doctor is less happy about what he's seeing where he's landed ...

You can see how Hot Toys really shot itself in the foot there.
The suit seems to be made of a rigid vinyl that seems like it will last, the only rubber is on the tendons that allow the mouth to open and the only worry of damage seems to be from a long term open mouth pose.
