Roswell Japan 1/5 full size Alien Statue by Yoshihiko Sano

[ALIEN]

THX, could you please revise that height to 7 feet, 8 inches

I have the HCG Lifesize Statue but a lifesize by Sano would end all complaints about how the statue should really be with regards to detailing of the head.

I honestly feel that its going to be years before we see another maker produce a lifesize statue BUT i've put my comments to Roswell and was told they will be passed to Sano.

The only way he's going to do it is to work on the statue before submitting it for licence so to gain time due to the 2 year licence period.

The licence is very strange, i was told that Giger won the legal rights of the ALIEN creature, why goto Fox when he could goto to Giger?

Cheers!

"1/5 ALIEN 2nd Ver.

1.Special Ver. limited edition
We will provide a limited number of 30 with individually-numbered and Sano's
signature.

2. Special Ver.
We will provide almost 200.
No individually-numbered and Sano's signature.

3. Normal Ver.
We will provide almost 200.
No individually-numbered and Sano's signature, too.
Black-themed model.

Sorry, all the price have not yet been decided."

I got the same info from Yumiko today but no indication of price yet. Will be going up for preorder (from Roswell) soon though ??

A Sano life size. Yes. I'm all for that. Let's just keep waiting.

I can wait(save).

I'm guessing this will have the same price as the bust. Maybe more?
$800-1100. The special version being around $1000. What do you guys think?

[thx217]

That sounds about right, my friend. Hopefully it will be at the range.

[Darth Pain]

I hope it's cheaper.lol

[Vader]

I expect it will be more (more detail).

Couldn't find any of these Aliens on either site?
Or even a mention of it?
Did see other things I would consider ordering but the checkout is all in Japanese?
Anyone have any ideas without me getting rosetta stone?
Thank you!
