    Those are amazing, especially the first one.

    As for me, I have one, tine ALIEN item on pre-order:

    I've always wanted a miniature line of old Halloween costumes, and although this is just the mask, it's a start.

      Hey, that mini Alien mask is pretty cool. I have the original boxed Ben Cooper costume/mask one.

      I’m going to pre order one myself...thanks for the link...

              Ha. Well, for one, I don’t have kids. Also, Flex Pay/payment plans help a lot. On the Giger Head, I’m paying $400 a month, two more payments, and I’m done. No credit cards though, it’s withdrawn from my checking account. The Queen payments just started, I pre-ordered with a $500 deposit. And lastly, I have goodies that I’ve been selling...so the sales go into funding my high priced Alien stuff.

              It works out pretty well...



              I deleted part of my post as my other project is irrelevant to this thread, ha...

                Hec, I think you had mentioned that you have a Sideshow Space Jockey Maquette. If you do, please post some pics of this beautiful piece.

                      I do have it. I still don’t want to post my entire Alien display because it’s not finished...but I’ll take a pic in a minute...and show you a small peek...

                          I don’t think there’s a normal one. You mean you like a particular look? The original is the see-through domed Giger Alien. Then there’s the Warrior Xenomorphs from Aliens. They all slightly change in each movie...the Ressurection ones are also different (there’s a hybrid one too)...as well as that in Covenant. The most distinct one is the Dog Alien of Alien 3, that one is a quadruped, and has a brownish tint. The reason it walks on all fours is because the facehugger chose a dog host (on an alternate scene, it was a cow). I think the Dog Alien (aside from the Queen) is the baddest and most vicious Xenomorph, as well as the fastest...

                          Sideshow has it as well, but I can’t buy them all, ha...

                              I’m close to canceling the Sideshow/CoolProps Giger Head.

                              I’ve made five payment on it already...just one more to go. I’ll be hit with a $180 penalty cancelling fee.

                              Why?

                              Because I have been in close contact with Chase Smith, one of the best Alien/Creature artists out there. His stuff blows away anything from Sideshow and CooProps.

                              He is very, very expensive...from two to three times as expensive as the CoolProps Giger Head.

                              However, he’s willing to make one exception...and sell me a complete unpainted Head/torso for a fraction of the price.

                              He’s known for his Dog Alien (collaboration with artist Beesub)...



                              Wanna see how superior his stuff really is compared to SideShow CoolProps?

                              Chase Smith Dog Alien vs Sideshow/CoolProps Dog Alien...





                              Chase Smith is currently working on a 1:1 scale Big Chap (true scale, larger than Sideshow/CoolProps), a one to two year project...this bad boy will come with a torso...maybe even arms...






                              I’ll save a ton of money by painting it myself...
