Lifesize Alien 3 bust confusion

Hey guys, the bust I am about to query is the Dog Alien one on the right:



I don't know whos picture that is, so I don't know who to credit as far as that is concerned.

I love this bust, but I don't know anything about it! So I would like to ask you experts a couple questions. I ran a couple searches but didn't find much info.

ANYWAY,

1: Who makes this piece?
2: Is it a limited piece?
3: Why don't I see much about this bust anywhere!

Thanks in advance.

The photo belongs to forum member 'El Diablo'.
I believe the bust comes as a kit and requires finishing. Though you can occasionally obtain one prepainted.

Tri is correct. It is a unpainted resin kit. I believe Monsters in motion may still carry them. If not you can only get them 2nd hand. The kit runs $600. You can usually find a prepainted one on ebay for $2000. I have one and its currently out getting a serious repaint. As I bought it from a person that painted it up something terrible. i just wanted it for the sculpt. Hope that helps

I think the other guys have pretty much covered it, but if it helps any I bought mine from HERE look for the "lifesize alien with base and mouth striker" they painted it for me also. (I should be on commission for this piece your the third person i've pointed in their direction )

oh snap! The man himself.

Thanks for the link man. Just to confirm, the 999 version comes painted and built right? Might have to get me one of these as an xmas present from me . I think it looks much better than the Sideshow busts and would look a complete bad ass when facing my Predator bust.

They're Pound Sterling, which at present would equate to a little over $1500.
