I wish Hot Toys would get their act together and make a new more durable and screen accurate Big Chap, instead of all the Marvel/StarWars stuff they churn out.

I just picked up the McFarlane 12 inch Big Chap. It is from 2004 and fits in well with my NECA collection. Most McFarlane aliens don’t look movie accurate to me, but this one really does. I’m glad I came across it when I did. If you ever come across one, you should pick it up as well.

I think it would be a great addition to speak to how much each figure cost at retail and/or what the “going rate” is these days. The Neca’s 7 inch scale is amazing for $36.99 in the quarter scale I scored from big bad toy store for $118. Obviously they may not be the best example, but for a lot of collectors who are on a budget, it comes down getting the most bang for your buck.

Hey awesome countdown! I love to see other people's take on these figures. And thanks so much for the shout out. With alien Romulus coming out soon, it's my hope (SPOILERS)... that if the rumors about the Big Chap appearing in the film are true, Hot Toys will revisit the figure, largely because Fox is now owned by Disney and Hot Toys has a sizable contract with them.

The warriors looked the way they did in aliens because it allowed better animatronics and movement for the stunt actors. The big chap looks the most accurate to giger’s design because he sculpted it but it was a massive pain in the butt to keep the thing not from falling apart. At one point The team wanted to put maggots under the carapace of the skull but Badejo who performed as the Xenmorph was having none of it. All in all I like the designs of the first 3 movies but not the ones after.

6:04 'the actor in the suit'. I read an interesting interview with the stunt man who played the part of Alien in the original movie. He claims the guy in the promo shots (as mentioned in your video) exited the movie all to soon and received most/all of the credit. The Alien suit he is pictured in was too heavy and impractical to use for the movie. The stunt man 'Eddie Powell' redesigned the suit to use it in the movie. The stunt man is of the opinion that he should have received the credit for playing the part of Alien. At the time he was promised credit. It never came to be. The interview with the stuntman appeared in an issue of Darkside Magazine. Some say 90% of Alien seen in the movie is Eddie Powell.

I kinda thought after seeing the new preview for the new ALIEN movie, that you might have a look back at figures, and you didn't disappoint! Great lineup and as always the best visual coverage! I still need to pull the trigger on one or two of these, (the Mafex!), but am glad I did get the NECA Ultimate one. Great video! You think NECA will do the updated Alien Big Chap type figure from the new movie too? They usually do keep up with Aliens and Preds....

I have always wanted to add a Big Chap to my collection of figures/statues.. fact is, i have always felt there is something better out there in the future, possibly? ..even the impressive Prime 1 Studio Big Chap failed to impress me, due to the weird color choice (not looking black enough).

Something about NECA I just don’t like. I feel like the paint jobs are just … plain? It may be that hard all over plastic too. It’s almost like there’s no variation in texture, paint, or material. It gives Halloween blow molds or something, but shellacked. They look like lacquered bronze statues and not an action figure. They’re so rigid and overall flat looking with paint and material variation. MacFarlane toys give me the same feel often.

I hate the hot toys big chap so much that I don’t even plan on buying it and I own alot of big chaps Im talking like 20 big chaps The hot toys one just makes me angry whenever I see it The neca big chap is more detailed than the hot toys big chap The only errors on the ultimate neca big chap can be fixed by anyone with even half of a functioning brain cell The hot toys one is a disgrace Actually I’m planning on getting my hands on the 1/4 scale neca big chap Also silly lil side note We shall all call the aliens from Romulus the “large lads” They are very similar to the big chap but they are slightly taller and their legs are weird so the new design should be called the large lad Change my mind
