I dont understand why some complain about something like a paint job.If the qc is good I am happy.Aliens fans are lucky to get new figures like the Queen.Just be happy we get something like this.I am a huge fan of Aliens. so any thing Aliens is cool for me
I'm not saying that people shoud not buy this figure, nor that the paintjob is awful. Like I said, sculpt is awesome, this is a badass figure, BUT something still bothers me in the paintjob, so I don't have a crush for it. I can't help it
.
The most notable example is the queen's teeth : if you remember the movie they have to be transluscent, or at least glossy / silver painted like almost every Alien figure / statue, anything that shines, but
not this flat beige...
I showed the pictures to a friend of mine which isn't an Alien fan, he told me "uh, aren't the teeth supposed to be transparent ?".
This is one of the most iconic Queen's features, and I'm focused on it.
"Anything Alien" is cool, yes, I don't deny it, but anything Alien isn't worth buying for everyone (like me), although I'm feeling glad for everyone pleased with these pictures
. I've got plenty of Alien figures at home and little room, so if something bothers me when I look at this huge queen, I'm gonna save room / money for other ones. There's no big deal saying so, man !
EDIT : talking about the price, retrailers in Europe already sell it on preorder for 130€, approx 150$.
