Super-Hugger Maquette

Posted December 19, 2008 5:45 PM Corporal Hicks 17 Comments

Continuing their release of Aliens and Predator Maquettes, ADI and Sideshow have just announced the latest in their recent line:

20081219 Super-Hugger Maquette

This Maquette is actually life sized so it will be quite large. Unfortunately there is no release date. But you can keep an eye on this thread for more information as it is released. Thanks to Sabres21768 for the news.

Not really. The one we see in the latest edition looks virtually the same as any other one (the 'membranes' easily just look like mucous), because it's at such a distance. And a normal one is what we see in the 3D computer image of it on Ripley's face.

i'm confused, so is this the face hugger that was on ripley? i didn't see the extended version so i'm out-of-the-know. there should've been two eggs on the sulacco before they were ejected then right?

we could go back and forth all day saying how there may have been one egg or not, but why? We have a perfectly good explanation, it may not be canon in the sense it wasnt in the released cut, but it was in the special edition, so thats more than enough for me to call it canon.

CG: It was never certain if there was only one facehugger or two. We only saw one egg, but there could have been more.

It was in an officially released cut of the movie; so it is canon.

The queen facehugger should have bin canon how else did one face hugger manage to lay to embryos in two separate host Ripley and the dog? they only lay one before dying so why not use this Queen chest burster in the final cut? it would have made more ense and it would have been introducing the Queen face hugger that can lay a queen and warrior befor dieing i love this idea

Excellent - always liked that design, with the exception of the weird leg membrane stuff. The last truly biomechanical, original design done for that series of films; more so than even the adult creature in that contribution. Was a shame it was was not used.

The more I think about it, this would really creep me out, being afraid of spiders and all...

Well its a design that didn't get used to its full potential. You only see it briefly in the extended edition of ALIEN 3, and on the trade card for the film. As for ALIEN 5, its ALL TALK, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

@ Zillamaster202, they've already done a smaller version of the Queen Burster. Doing a larger version would just be a cash in which Sideshow don't do. Haha.

Nice to see that they're merchandising the older movies rather than AvP. I really, really like this, it's a shame we never seen her in action in Alien3. (Eg defending herself against a threat, I'm sure she has a blade on her tail for a reason)

@Starkiller, Well, we have discussed that, and this isn't the news for it, so why ask? - I think this looks cool.
