If it didn't have those extra arms I'd love it. I really like the base and the coloring of the alien. But those arms, THOSE ARMS!

There's so much I don't like about it--the extra arms, grabby feet, dome that's three miles long, Big Chap clear dome but calling it a "warrior", stating that they based it on Big Chap from the first film but included Jonesy, etc.

I think Jonesy is just supposed to be some "easter egg" but yeah, it makes no sense at all to put something like that from the "canon" Alien films into a "mythos" design. It would have been better to just throw in some weird alien creature if anything at all. I like the look of the base part though without Jonesy thrown in randomly.

If the cat and that little pair of arms weren't in there this would probably be receiving some more accolades and not all the criticism. This is disappointing.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Sideshow has clearly run out of ideas and their creative dept isn’t very familiar with the Alien franchise.

It’s almost like Kathleen Kennedy is calling the shots over there. “Meh, just do it because I like it. Don’t matter what the fans will think.”

Wow that price for this piece seems kind of ridiculous to me.

I hate to be one of those guys that goes into a thread and talks about another company or another statue but the P1 Superman Hush sculpted cape edition statue is 42 inches in height, 35 inches in width, and a little over 17 inches in depth for $999. I know it's comparing apples to oranges and I know the Alien/Predator license is expensive but WOW.
