I guess i 've just bought the last Normal version on Hobby Search

Do they offer anything besides EMS shipping? Also the customs fees, when do these get assessed, I ordered one but am traveling for a month and had it sent to work. Would hate for a bill to arrive without me there to pay it.

Thanks for the reply. I thought others were reporting 200+ dollar custom fees. My other question from above got buried, but who is Sano? Google turns up little except a musician, artist, and an architect of that name but no real information on the connection to Alien. I a noob at this particular genre, obviously. All info online makes it seem like everyone knows who Sano is but the claim to fame eludes me.

Yoshihiko Sano, japanese sculpter/painter. The only person who were able to sculpt a screen accurate alien statue. He did 1/3 bust & this 1/5 alien statue so far. Both pieces are completely made in japan sculpted/painted by him, and the most accurate (mass produced) alien piece in the market today.

Hi All, been a while since i've been on here!

Can anyone identify the artist of the statue in this image?

It looks to be the hand of SANO Japan but its much taller than the statue he's already produced of the normal & special versions.

The owner "Cellars" said its by a japan artist they call God-Hand, is this sano?

Looks very like sano's work to me, hmmmmm
It could be 1:4 scale?

Cheers!

Hi All

Having been round almost every ALIEN related forum on the net (as we do!) there have been rumors since end of 2011 that Yoshihiko Sano's next piece will be 1:1 scale.

This is yet to be confirmed, it maybe a bust or hopefully a statue or maybe not at all?

I requested it twice and was told they would pass on my request to Sano.

Has ANYONE heard anything about a possible 1:1 scale piece?

We need a TRUE 1:1 piece once and for all.
Perhaps a petition to Sano or a signed letter from all of us requesting a 1:1 piece?

Cheers!
Ron
