I would love one of these, but hopefully it's reasonable.


reasonably priced*

This new one is somehow pretty close to the first Giger's xeno concepts for the movie, including the Necronom IV.
It's a big mix of them all, even if it seems half-way between these big-eyed pointy-piped xenos and the domed Big Chap we all love. But I dig this design wayyyyy more than the previous 4-armed warrior.

This Mythos line puts some novelty in the franchise, no doubt, and exquisite craftmanship / quality as always with Sideshow, for this I can appreciate the efforts and passion they show. But I don't know about you guys, I'm too much of a "canon" fanboy to actually buy any of these statues  ;D.

really nice craftmanship, but naaah, not really doing it for me. Either all out or faithful for me.

Nice as always.

I'm sure the cost will be painfully high.

I'd buy one that was a normal alien + hyper-stylized Jones with a hundred paws.

With some alterations this could have been my favourite Alien design.

The design is complicated and messy, in a good way. It wholly displays the ugliness and terror. A perfect antagonist for any character of the Alien universe--Hudson, Ripley, Shaw, take your pick.

And Jones is always a nice touch.

You know it's funny. I actually like the King alien design but don't like this. To me this alien statue seems really messy and not that elegant. The back pipes are too short and fatty, the legs are way to arm like, the head is messy, and the fingers seem to be way too long. Now don't get me wrong, the King alien isn't the most elegant of designs either. However at least it feels proportionate and it does have some fascinating features, such as the skull crest and tail. I own a King alien statue and, to me, its probably my favorite alien collectible.


I know that the Legacy team  were trying to go with the alien design from the original storyboard sketches for alien 1979, however this statue just seems way too funky for my taste. Personally my favorite alien designs are the 1979 big chap, the unused HR Giger dog alien, and the Queen (which is partially a Giger creation as her hands are very similar to the hands of the alien in the Monster IV painting.

Do we need a reason now? it is a collectible piece, no an actual design for a movie. You don't like it, we get it. Just don't be so bitter about it.  ::)
Reason from a design perspective? Sure, good designs are generally driven by some sort of reasoning. Slapping shit on a design for the sake of it isn't good design work. As a collectible piece it isn't something I'd like to add to my collection because the design is unappealing to me.

If you like it, sweet, but could we maybe not act like the only worthwhile opinion on a piece of art is a positive one? Art is to be reacted to, positive or negative. I'm not bitter, just communicating my feelings :)

Agreed on the crested dinosaurs, but this is to the Alien what Bay's Transformers are to, well, Transformers. Too much, for no reason.

Easily my favorite alien design since the A3 runner.

Outstanding. If only we could see this in a film somehow.
