I'll be 40 next month. Well, as a huge Alien fan since my youngest childhood, it seems that this 40th Anniversary figure is the perfect gift that I am giving myself.

@Johnny66664 жыл бұрын
Terrific review! Filming it the way you have allows us to see the real size of the figure and box, which other reviewers often skip over in favour of extreme close-ups. Good to see the comparison with the older 2008 version, which really shows off the improved paint scheme on the 40th anniversary release. Nice work! :)

Those tubes are called Dorsal Tubes and are thought to be used for breathing in the the lore. The spikes thing is just called a spine or Dorsal Spine iirc. Leave the spine out to get the head to look up more.
@jds46964 жыл бұрын
Hey, thanks! And I appreciate your advice about the dorsal tubes.
@jameschapman72844 жыл бұрын
The dorsal tubes - so I was lead to believe, can expel the 'secreted resin' that aliens use to build nests and they can also use like a spider weaves silk in a web, to spring down and catch prey. I always thought they were just bones that protrude from the body, like the high shoulder blades.

I owned the original 2008 version (problematic ankle joints caused me to accidentally break it) and replaced it with the (darker coloured) 2015 release (available in two variations). The 2019 re-reissue looks like the same (superior) sculpt as the 2015 Big Chap. This new 40th anniversary edition has better detailing and paint application for the skull and translucent carapace, compared to the 2015 release. A beautiful creature design. I wish I had got this new 2019 figure too.

I’m still unboxing first of the quarter stuff.cuz he’s dope. Ps stand’s are expensive! If you display these near a wall or ceiling. . . I’d suggest just secure him to the wall. Google the proper way to this, because drywall could crumble under certain pressure or your figures , weight, could pull out the mount. Leaving a nasty hole. Drywall can be repaired
