Prime 1 Studio: Alien - Big Chap

Bolaji was already a slender guy, but if the Prime 1 sculpt were the suit, he'd have to have been a toothpick. I think the body mass and head proportions look better on the CoolProps and Sano.

If I had to go for this, I'd pick the action pose because the museum version (as much as I like it) would draw too much attention to the inaccuracies above. That pose ought to be reserved for truly faithful recreations.

I agree that it is a bit on the skinny side, but as you said, I think they are using some artistic license with it and trying to cover 3 bases, accuracy, suit form and interpretation. As much as I have always loved the original design, I've grown bored with the static pose. Trying too hard to alter the look and you'll end up with something weird like the Sideshow's awkward 1/3 maquette with the twisty body and floppy wrist. The slight shift of the body on this works perfectly here imo.

Does anyone know any updated ship dates for this?

The Warrior is Jan-March next year.
Add 1 month for CNYear and 2 months delay, result in June-July 2022.

My guess for both Big Chaps is 2 months behind that, so prob around Sept-2022

How does that work? The Big Chap went up for preorder a while before the Warrior did. According to Prime 1's site, the Big Chap is slated for Mar-Jun 2021 and the Warrior for Sep-Dec 2021.

That's more like it. Thanks, Blade!

Hmmmm. Ordered this from Spec Fiction. Now they aren't listing any P1 stuff. Hope they didn't break up!

I emailed Todd to see what the deal is and he said they should be back up, preorders won't be affected.

I figured that was a possibility. Thanks a bunch, Blade.
