Highly detailed and posable Alien vs. Predator Alien Warrior SH MonsterArts
die-cast metal collectable action figure from Bandai.
The premiere release in the series is the Alien Warrior from the 2004 AVP
film. In the movie, this sleek re-working of the original Alien design was
animated using CG techniques to portray its inhuman sense of balance and motion.
The S.H. Monster Arts figure perfectly replicates this on-screen appearance. The
joint system has been specially designed to allow dynamic poses without breaking
the figure's distinctive silhouette. The unique head structure is rendered
with translucent plastic. Thorough research allowed us to bring subtle organic
details that were almost impossible to see on-screen to life in the sculpt, and
every effort was made to conceal the joints for a natural appearance.
The S.H. MonsterArts edition of the Alien Warrior represents a new pinnacle
for Alien action figures. The joints were designed to support the unique bipedal
and quadrupedal poses of the Alien, with special attention paid to the waist and
the ankles for an expanded posing range. The rear of the neck was designed to
support the massive head in a natural-looking way, while the “pipes” on the
back are poseable as well. These joints allow the Alien to support itself in all
sorts of dynamic and delicate poses, from crawling on all fours, to leaning in
towards its prey.
The aggressive nature of the Alien is accentuated by its ferocious-looking
inner mouth and its giant, spiked tail. We paid special attention to these key
“weapons” of the creature. The top of the head can be slid to open the main
mouth and reveal the threatening inner mouth. And the tail was provided with
joints to allow multiple degrees of freedom for achieving and holding the
subtlest poses. And the tip of the tail uses diecast metal parts to achieve an
even sharper feel.
Accessories include a finely detailed egg chamber and the “juvenile” form
of the Warrior, the “chestburster.” All can be displayed together to expand
your display possibilities. Two different hand variations are included as well,
for enhanced posing and expressiveness.
- Materials : PVC, ABS, Diecast
- Contents: Figure, extra hands, egg, chestburster, stand
- Height: approx 17cm (6.7") tall.
