Sideshow Alien Space Jockey Maquette

[Gorn Captain]

Is yours the one in this video (being compared to the Neca)?

Yep, that's it.
The reason why I didn't upgrade to the Neca Queen? The McF one stands on its own easily (none of those stupid support pieces), it plugs into the display base and presto. The McF also has the whole corridor scene with the chestburster victim included, which is great. And to be honest, Neca added a lot of articulation which you will probably never use. The guy does a good review, but his McF figure is missing a lot of parts (and is broken here and there), so that's odd. Old Queen is not getting a fair chance that way.

I just got me a Neca Alien Queen off eBay...the cheapest I could find boxed...it was a semi hidden auction...didn't have Neca on its title...just Reel Toys...

I don't mind the stand, my Megos have stands...they are for display purposes only anyway, lol...

Might get the McFarland Queen too...

Love the wet look of the Neca...McFarland is more matted...

Tsukuda released an Alien Queen in Japan around 20 years ago but it tends to be more expensive than most Tsukuda Alien items.

These are all great items, but I try to focus on first film "Big Chap" pieces due to space and money.

[Hector]

The Queen is my favorite.

I'm going to make a couple of diorama display pieces. One Alien Queen fighting Ripley and her power loader, with a split in half Bishop laying on the floor. The other...Alien Queen with all kinds of assorted Aliens next to her.

The Chap is also on my list....

[Hector]

Oh, I have my eyes on the Tsukuda Alien Queen. They are great figures...I used to own a Tsukuda King Kong.

I'll keep you posted...

I want one Alien Queen from each of these...Palisades, Neca, Tsukuda, McFarland...and if somehow I find a super steal on a Sideshow one, I'll get it...but it will have to be a super steal in the $500 range...I doubt I'l find one for that cheap...

Thanks for reminded me of the Tsukuda...had that figure in the back of my mind...my priority was first Sideshow (but way too pricey)...the Palisades (I came in second on the bidding, but lost)...Neca (which I bought)...now got me a Tsukuda...

But...got it for even cheaper...from this other seller...he accepted my $175 offer...

Thanks, buddy...appreciate you posting...many thanks...great price for a figure that does not come up often on eBay.

Will take a pic of both the Tsukuda and Neca Alien Queens next to each other...see how they compare...

[Hector]

All this spending...look for some items in the Marketplace from me soon...

I got it for $140 cheaper...granted the box is not as nice as that one...but I take the figures outta the box, my priority if the figure itself...displaying it...I put away the boxes and store them anyway...

[Hector]

I'm looking at the close up pics of the Tsukuda...what a gorgeous piece...

[Hector]

The Neca has more organic like detail...but the Tsukuda has that nice porcelain looking surface...the whole point in collecting different figures from different companies.

It's really beautiful...like a statue...









I love it!

[Hector]

The Alien King is here...











Pretty spectacular...but holy mother of god...$1000?

It better be a very limited release...like 500 pieces or so.

It's $400 more expensive than the Space Jockey...

No problem man, congrats on the purchase, looking forward to your pics. I've been trying to focus on the Big Chap figures, so I have both the ones that Tsukuda made, but the Tsukuda Alien Queen and Alien Warrior have been tempting me for years now, if I find these for a good price in Japan I might buckle!


And holy crap, that Hot Toys Ripley is amazing!

[Hector]

Yeah, I'm getting Ripley...I have to...otherwise, it will be an incomplete Alien collection.

Can't wait for the Tsukuda Queen!

If you find one under $200...jump on it!

[Hector]

If you have some of your Aliens pictured...it would be awesome to see...
