Got this from the mailman today. #1 in Kaiyodo's new Revoltech line based on sci-fi films. As you can see, the box packaging for this Alien toy is superb. If there is one thing to say about the Japanese, is that they know how to package a toy.





Out of box, it's even better. The toy is fantastic. Full on articulation in the head, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees, and ankles. The tail itself has no revoltech joints, but it has a wire inside so you can bend it however you like. The only downside to this is that the tail is required to stand. It's very hard to balance without the tail touching the ground in some way. The stand itself doesn't do much. The facehugger attaches to the egg, but it can come apart.





The paint application is amazing. The top of the head is a dark, but clear plastic where you can see the skull details. This comes off.





Really, a perfect figure. Amazing quality. Now for some fun.

GI Joe vs Alien:



WATCH OUT SCARLETT!



Oh damn, she got caught! The face hugger succeeds where many Joes have failed: Scarlett is impregnated.



Here you can see the difference in size. Not bad, but I figure the Alien is a little too big to fit in with 3.75" scale. Still, it's pretty good. *** I've been told the scale seems right, considering what they're like in the movies ***



The mouth can open to reveal the smaller, second mouth that shoots out. Again, awesome detail. Mmm... brains.



Snake Eyes to the rescue!



The Joes are victorious. YO JOE!



Once again, the paint is very detailed.



Final comparison pic standing up straight.



All in all, probably the best Revoltech figure ever made, IMO. I can't wait for Batman later this year!

*** The figure is translucent if you place it up to the light. Sorry, no picture, but it's really cool! ***

Me too. They all look so good. Including Batman, Alien Queen, Predator (of course), even the Jurassic Park T-Rex.

Yeah, the new Revoltechs cost more these days than the older ones. I'd like a couple more Aliens, but it's not possible due to all the other toys I want to buy. Stupid budget!

Don't know how big the Queen is. We'll have to wait for better pics later I guess. Considering how tall the regular Alien is, the Queen would have to be huge! Generally Revoltechs don't get much bigger than 6 inches (I think Fraulein Revoltechs are a tad bigger?), so I don't know if she'll be in scale.

Yeah, it's a slippery slope. You get one, then you're committed!

Thanks mods for front paging this!
