MEDICOM RAH Alien Figure Pics

[Elder_Predator2]

Well Abake, you've made me hate mine.

Mine looks bad after seeing those awesome pics and paint.

I think this alien is the most faithful. Profile of the forehead and also the tendons of the mouth are very correct!

Gorgeous re-paint, and great close ups abake!

Has anyone tried switching the Medicom head with the Hot Toys head ?

Wrong scale. Would look like a pinhead!

Thanks for the comments guys!
This is such a cool figure that it saddens me that it doesn't get more recognition.

Good Gawd that re-paint rocks so much it hurts!

Very similar:

It's amazing though isn't it. Even when they get that close to the original suit, look at how different the shoulders are. There's always something!

Lord Freezer, your posts on this subject have been excellent since you joined.

Personally I like this alien. one of the things a little different in the small teeth and the skull is slightly crushed laterally. No one has yet managed to make a action figures of the first alien to 100% true

And he's soooooooooooo short!

Thanks dude, but all credit to Fabio Rubio who does all the repaints for me

Have a couple more to share:

BEEUTEEFUL!!! Beautiful paint job!

Thought I'd revive this old thread. Went to the annual Portland Comic Book show and picked this guy up at a booth. Other than the usual minor elbow/mid-arm paint peeling (rubber fig owners gotta roll with the punches on this one), the figure's fantastic. Since he's not very poseable (and his elbow paint doesn't take bending as well as the HT version, since the rubber is not as stretchy or thick), I won't change his pose very much. He looks just fine on my shelf as is. Can't explain how amazing it is to finally have an accurate-looking representation of Giger's design.

And now... onto the pics! I've taken a few using my HT Big Chap diorama background.

Nice pics Blade and I to was at that very comic book show and I saw that Alien that you purchased. That booth was Echo Base Toys, that guy always brings sweet figures to sell, my friend and I bought the 2 Black Widow figures he had. It seemed like the attendance was low or was that just me?

I would certainly prefer that one to the Hot Toys one. The face looks far better.

I dunno. I was there from 4PM to 5PM, so attendance must've been a lot higher earlier on. Good stuff the Echo Base booth had. I was tempted to spring for a Dallas figure too, but due to space and me not wanting to deal with more than one new rubber headache at the moment, I was content with the RAH Alien by itself .

Congrats dude, great score.

This is a must have for any Giger Alien fan.

 

[wookster]

Great pics guys, always a fun thread to drop in on!

 

[abake]

Medi-alien is a beautiful figure!

This is a great looking fig by itself. I hate that they made it so small compared to other 1/6 figs
