[woodsy]

First the marvel news, and now this...it just keeps getting better! :buttrock:

[Gruson]

No interest but pretty cool IMO.

I am very glad they will be making more from Aliens and Predator!

[Trilogy]

Just when I`ve decided to call it a day with Alien pieces.

[bruceb]

..pass...

[geto10]

Nah, I'll pass!

[AsOneDead]

looks very cool, cant wait to see some more dio's

[Trilogy]

Will be passing, but I`m interested in seeing it.

[El Diablo]

This looks excellent, may get it depending on the size.
Here`s the 360

Damn, that does look good. Also looks as if its wall mountable too.

I must resist. :banghead:

[AsOneDead]

Yeah it is.

[El Diablo]

Also looks as if its wall mountable too.

:

Yep that`s what I was thinking, and it`d be a good thing as the walls are about the only display space i`ve got left in my collection room!

[IronFingaz]

Looks nice, but i'll pass.

[Trilogy]

I`ll be interested to know how big this is.

[Ink]

maybe


it would look badass hanging from the wall

[Trilogy]

"These dioramas are displayable on a desktop or hung on a collector's wall, thanks to the inclusion of a removable base featuring the logo of each subject's film. Prices will range from $99.99 to $399.99."

[Gir]

What's up with the clear shell on the head? Why do most of the collectible companies exaggerate that feature? In the movie, the shell APPEARED to be fairly opaque, despite how the costume looked in normal lighting. Look at the Cinemaquette. It's shell is shaded, and it looks way better.

[geto10]

Ohh, a 360.. Damn this looks sweet! Will look even nicer on my wall. Any idea on how high this will be? 40cm?

[Trilogy]

I`m also interested in how big this will be.

[Red X]

I hope we get a Aliens one next.

[Reinhardt]

i think it's about 13" tall.

[Barbarian]

Hmmm. Think I know where I'm gonna spend a few SS points. I'm glad they made this the classic Alien. There's already plenty of AVP stuff out there, and I've been waiting for a cool classic piece like this. I think it's a great translation from movie screen to sculpt, capturing the dark and eerie feel of the original movie. :thumbs2:

It also depicts one of the first times you see the Alien on screen.
As I`ve mentioned before, I just wish it was a little bigger. Non-the-less still a very nice piece.

[cougartrace]

The classic Alien is one of my favorite movies. I'm real interested in the rest of this line

[JBElliott]

Pass.

[Trilogy]

I`m still hoping for an Alien Warrior 1:4 Statue/maquette.

[MiamiLoco]

Just got a notice that this shipped!!!

Nice one. :thumbs2:

[seymourito]

amazing piece..

[Hellboy]

Mine is on the way too. :buttrock:

[MiamiLoco]

It's funny cause about a week ago, I was going to cancel this piece, but then I saw the Aliens and Alien 3 Diorama and I ended just buying those also, LOL!!

[Hellboy]

Good move. These are going to look great together.

[MK Ultra]

Quick photo. I took of mine just now, cool little piece kind of looks like an Alien cuckoo clock. Relieved that it's not that big and I quickly found a spot for him in my little Alien corner.

[cougartrace]

that piece is amazing :buttrock:

[geto10]

Cool details!

[Trilogy]

Looks great judging by that shot.

We need more pics MK! :)

[MK Ultra]

I didn't think there would be much interest in this one so I just took some far away shots, I'll try to take some better close up shots:thumbs2: these are all the ones I have.

[Trilogy]

Always interested in Alien pieces. ;)

[Predalien08]

MK,
I saw in one of pictures you had a big Palisades chestburster statue and a small one. I didn't know they made a big statue??

[MK Ultra]

Uploading a couple of slightly closer shots of the Alien dio. for T. There you can see the two Chestbursters the Reg. version and the Micro(small one). The Regular is the original release the micro was the second edition not sure if it was released at all, I believe Palisades went out of business before then.

[Karma]

is that cannister below the alien painted as it looks silver-ish in this pic

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/9102_press01-001.jpg

and the bolts are weathered here
http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/9102_press05-001.jpg

[MK Ultra]

It's painted silver but extremely faded, almost white.

[Trilogy]

Thanks for the pics MK. I`m still very tempted to pic these dio`s up.

[Trilogy]

MK, are the chains packed separately?

[Darth Pain]

I wish they were bigger. It looks like Mcfarlane toy size. :(

[MK Ultra]

MK, are the chains packed separately? No they are attached to the piece, but packed off to the side in a little compartment and wrapped in paper well protected.

[Trilogy]

No they are attached to the piece, but packed off to the side in a little compartment and wrapped in paper well protected.

OK, thanks. :thumbs2:

[geto10]

Lovely pics! :D

[MK Ultra]

I wish they were bigger. It looks like Mcfarlane toy size. :(Yes small 15 inches tall and alot of detail like the McFarlane dios. The difference is instead of plastics McFarlane uses, Sideshow used a very dense heavyweight polystone or very dense resin, piece is a bit heavy for its size a quality piece.

[MK Ultra]

Thanks for the pics MK. I`m still very tempted to pic these dio`s up. These are all the ones I took last night but I'll try to take some close up ones tonight.:thumbs2:

[MK Ultra]

Lovely pics! :DThanks G.:thumbs2:

[Trilogy]

These are all the ones I took last night but I'll try to take some close up ones tonight.:thumbs2:

Cool, look forward to them. :thumbs2:

[Seretur]

Thanks for the great pics, MK.

Your collection is most impressive.

[PitViper]

Nice pics! The alien looks great - not sure on those chains though. They look very plastic to me :confused:

They are supposed to be real chain.

[Praetorian380]

I just got this in tonight!!! Its way better than I was expecting!!! Definitely a keeper and I cant wait for the others!

here are a few shots of mine - sorry for the bad camera

[Trilogy]

Congrats Sean. :thumbs2:

[geto10]

This looks really good!

[jimmmy]

Looks really good...anyone know if it'll fit into a detolf?

[Trilogy]

I would have thought so. It`s not very big.

[Praetorian380]

Looks really good...anyone know if it'll fit into a detolf?

it will but you will have to remove one of the shelves to get it to fit -

its slightly taller than a the standard shelf space provided in the Detolf

[Kujo]

ace, i can't wait for mine. I got a 30 day notice for Alien and Aliens dio's!

[jimmmy]

Thanks :thumbs2:

[Phart007]

Recieved my Alien diorama today and it's superb. :buttrock:

It does fit nicely in a Detolf with the display base attached, it's about 14 inches tall.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j235/phart007/P1280002.jpg

I should have the Aliens diorama anytime soon, can't wait. :)

[geto10]

Looks great :)

[Trilogy]

Looks great, congrats.

[MiamiLoco]

Is anyone hanging these?!! I want to hang mine, but I want to see what it would look like hanged.

[MML]

Is anyone hanging these?!! I want to hang mine, but I want to see what it would look like hanged.

I wouldn't risk it with mine - my walls are solid chunks of stone covered in plaster - not great for hanging stuff on! I wouldn't want to risk an Alien-shaped crater on the floor!

[brom64]

Got my first ever sideshow statue/diorama today the alien diorama wicked piece,I normally collect star wars Gentle Giant busts/maquettes and statues and sideshow 12" star wars figures but really liked the look of this and yep it fits fine into a detolf not on the top shelf if you have a light fitted so have it on the 2nd shelf with Hot Toys elder predator2 and A v P alien warrior on the top one.
I do think I`m gonna have to get the reat of the dioramas when they get released in the UK,bigger than I thought it would be and cool,may have to ditch my GG sw busts to make room me thinks.

[cap70]

Congrats, but aren't you forgetting something? :peoples: ;)

[Hellboy]

Grats its a great piece, and a fantastic line. :thumbs2:

[brom64]

First pics posting, then info writing.. It's the golden rule!

[misterfun]

yupz, no pics, you don't have it :)

[brom64]

yupz, no pics, you don't have it :)

But then if theres 1500 of these out there and all the owners came here would you really wanna see 1500 pics of the same thing,mines number 0553.

Just another quick question while I`m here as I said earlier this is my first sideshow statue/diorama do they not come with certificates as with the Gentle Giant stuff or is it just the info you get on the bottom of the base didnt see anything else in the box.I am asking this for my imaginary alien diarama thats sitting in my imaginary cabinet.

No, SS pieces don't come with a COA.

[brom64]

Thanks for the info Hellboy.

No prob. :)

[Speir]

Old news, I know, but I just picked this up on clearance from BBTS and wanted to post a few pics taken last night....

I love this piece...now I want to pick up the Aliens Diorama - anybody know where I can get that one?

[Trilogy]

Very nice photos, Speir.
Congratulations on the acquisition.

[Speir]

Thanks Trilogy!

[skullsoldier]

Absolutely love this sculpture. Every time I look at it, though, I wish it were 1/4 scale.

Although these are great pieces, they would have been far more impressive at a larger scale.

[Xenomorph79]

Although these are great pieces, they would have been far more impressive at a larger scale.

When they start up with maquettes I imagine they'll be incredible!!!

[Trilogy]

When they start up with maquettes I imagine they'll be incredible!!!

Judging by the Alien3 maquette, yes, we'll be in for a treat.

[CessnaDriver]

thanks for the heads up on the clearance price.
Got me one.

[Fremen]

Great photos and a really nice piece.
Congrats

[Hellboy]

Very nice photos. Congrats and nice touch with the backdrop. :thumbs2:

[Pitbull]

Although these are great pieces, they would have been far more impressive at a larger scale.

But also if they were larger, than they would all not be affordable and not fit into Detolf. So i am quite happy with them.

[Trilogy]

Yes, unfortunately the downside would be they'd be more difficult to display.

[CessnaDriver]

The only thing I do not like about these is the cheesy painted movie logos on the stands, but luckily you can flip them around, at least on what I have so far.

[Darth Pain]

Although these are great pieces, they would have been far more impressive at a larger scale.

I agree.
I'm buying the Predator dios just to display them with a large scaled version Pred.. So, I can have one with a helmet(dio) and one without(1/4-1/3 scaled).
But, for the Aliens the large pieces will be enough for me.

[psycho shark]

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b173/OzayVeral/diablo120Large.jpg

I like the scale for this reason as well. Sure, they would be even more impressive at 1/4, but I'm sure we'll those will come out as well eventually. With all the other crap I collect, I wouldn't have the room for the big guys, so these work perfect for me. I hope they keep this line to a minimum as well, one dio per movie (except Aliens - we need a queen).

[CessnaDriver]

SNIP

(except Aliens - we need a queen).

From your mouth to the god of statues ears.

I really would like to see an egg chamber queen, with that nasty clear egg sack full of eggs. YUCK! :thumbs2:

That is how we first saw her and it was really impactful, your just like oh my god look at that thing.

[psycho shark]

Exactly! ....and at this scale, that scene is entirely possible :thumbs2:

1/4 scale? ..not so much.

[Trilogy]

Even at the dioramas scale, a Queen with egg sack would be a pretty large piece.

[psycho shark]

Would be huge ..but at 1/4 scale, it would INSANELY MASSIVE! There's no way a 1/4 scale queen would fit in my office.

At dio scale, there would be a chance I could work it in. lol

[Hellboy]

I too like the scale. Mine display quite well on one shelf and don't take up an exorbitant amount of space.

[Sledge Hammer!]

Agreed. :thumbs2:

[CessnaDriver]

Decided to actually hang this one, helps with space issues.

[zoid2323]

Looks good hung I rerally like that option it really adds to the appeal of the piece.:thumbs2:

[Sledge Hammer!]

I like the option, but I'm just not brave enough to hang mine on the wall. I can just picture coming home one day to find little pieces all over the floor... :laugh:

[CessnaDriver]

Just use plastic screw anchors with the screws and all will be fine.
Probably even safer on the wall.

It should be fine providing you use the correct fixings.

Better yet, screw into a stud. It'll never fall.

[Xenomorph79]

I understand the whole idea of space saving and all by hanging them but I really thing the base sets these off nicely! :buttrock:

[El Diablo]

Imagine that 1:3 scale on the wall :buttrock: :buttrock:
Great pics btw speir :thumbs2:

Imagine that 1:3 scale on the wall :buttrock: :buttrock:

That would be phenomenal.

[Dark_Knight_89]

1:1 on the wall be even better

Just effing around.
Creepy bugger.

Cool vid', CD.

[Xenomorph79]

Just noticed that FREMEN has one of these listed in the "For Sale" section for only $199.99!!! It's really a great price for those of you who missed out on this incredible Giger piece! Personally I think it comes across as alot more Giger-esque than the to be released Alien Statue.

Just thought I'd mention it! :D
Good luck with the sale Fremen! :thumbs2:

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/9102_press01-001.jpg

[Hellboy]

The Alien diorama is indeed a great piece. I sold my run of these dios along with both Predators about a year ago though. To be honest the Alien piece is the only one I really miss.

:iagree:Feels more like the Alien in Alien. Love this piece.:buttrock: The one coming I will be ordering but reminds me more of the Aliens in AVP for some reason..

Good luck Fremen. Sorry you are losing this beauty.:thumbsdow
