Neca Alien 40th Anniversary Giger's Alien

It's hard to say no to a repaint of the Big Chap in the HR Giger color scheme. I already owned the Big Chap release but decided from the NECA photos that this repaint looked pretty amazing and was worth adding to my collection. The one caveat I would say to potential buyers is that once you get the figure in-hand, you'll find that the Chap is more brownish than the marketing photos make him out to be. That's likely because they used a translucent brown-ish plastic for his entire body. The photos gave me the impression that he'd be closer to silver-grey, but I think this is because the white lighting was so strong that it dimished the brown/beige color.
Not surprisingly, the paintjob on both the xeno and the facehugger is superb. When Hasbro's factories can barely manage to paint within the sculpt's zones without spilling over or creating little blotches of paint or omitting paint in areas, it's a joy to see a figure that doesn't have these problems (and basically costs the same as a Marvel Legends figure).
For anyone who worries that the translucent plastic makes the figure more fragile, I've been posing him for a week now and the limbs hold up fine, I've not been worried about anything snapping off.

I love this figure. It was a dream come true. Nice sculpt and articulations.
