I have the aliens alien figure the head broke off still cool figure though BTW where's boon? The night breed mask is awesome

As always, an excellent video that transcends the format. I appreciate all the effort you put into your reviews and the quality of your collection. The stories of how you got your pieces are great. I half-expected a “Giger Counter” pun when you recounted your maybe-radioactive acquisition. I envy your collection and the space you must have for so many amazing pieces. Thank you for sharing!

Another master crafted episode from our strangest and favourite faceless uploader. A deep approach on this Hot toys figures , where each one comes under the microscope revealing curious a unique facts, featuring materials, design and much more. Truly amazing. "Never stop collecting".

All need a remake would love these overhauled and redone .. plus I’d throw away so many bucks on a scale alien queen by hot toys

Well researched, well presented. I've subscribed. ...I'm very happy that I found this vid as this is the Hot Toys line I constantly ache for.

I always wanted one of these since i was a kid, but they’re not for playing. I got a Hasbro alien resurrection 12” for Christmas last year and left it in the box. I wish some company would make something you can get dirty and throw around. Really good review btw.

Happy Alien Day !! Hope there will be more upcoming Alien stuff to be announced today ~

I was really anticipating this, and you definitely did not disappoint.

Awesome deep dive into all of Hot toys Alien figures! I only have the final figure from 2016 but would like to get a few of the other ones you reviewed. Thanks for the informative post.

The AvP brown alien warrior shown at 8:43 does indeed resemble the Alien Resurrection xenomorph in terms of the paint job, dome and sculpt in general but does clearly differs from it in terms of legs (the alien resurrection warrior has digitigrade legs and as you mentioned it misses the dorsal spine). Excellent review, Strange Form! Would love to see more reviews of other more rare figures (Marmit 1/3 scale figure - the plastic version; 25th anniversary Big Chap Marmit statues types A and B; Sideshow 1/5 Scale Alien Resurrection Statue, etc.).

In regards to one of the future Alien projects, the main cast is a group of teens. It has me worried.

Great video and am looking forward to the next one

Nice!! I have the Brown Warrior Alien, the AvP2 Warrior Alien, the Predalien(mms55) and my favorite the Dog Alien!

I cant believe that face hugger got me. 😅😅😅😅

Yo, your Dr. Decker mask (which I have) complete with chainmail gloves is awesome. Well done.

This video brought me to your channel.. and I’m an instant sub!! And about to enjoy a morning of videos!! 👏👏 PS: A video like this, showcasing the predator line.. would be INSANE! 😂✌️

Welcome aboard! And you are right, Hot Toys has done some of the best Predators out there. At some point, I will be looking into the ultimate hunter, probably some of the 1/4th neca figures, or possibly Mezco, not sure yet but I definitely will be doing something Predator before the end of the year.

@@strangeform maybe a “Top Predator figures” video (since there’s so many options..) And then you wouldn’t have to limit it to just Hot Toys.. 1/4 Neca open mouth Jungle Hunter Predator, Hot Toys Samurai Pred, Hot Toys Wolf 2.0, are some of favs in my collection.

Cool video mate. I collect diecast vehicles and I was never drawn into collecting figures...till now

Nice, and likewise I have all the ones you showed, with a few doubles for good measure ;) I have most in storage, so I'm just hoping they haven't degraded at all... the only thing I've ever really had issues with was my first ED-209's dome. I also managed to give you your 666'th like!

Yeah an Alien day episode (more or less) 🥳💖

Very helpful, +1 and subbed!

Thanks for the vid. 🙏

You are very welcome.

Yes!!!!! Its here!!

Love the content you've been releasing! Your voice is relaxing and I enjoy listening about your deep knowledge on these figures and production history. Keep going with it, your channel will be monetised sooner than you know 🦾👽

I also really hope we see a return to the AVP series with a serious tone like the original alien and predator films. That is a recipe for success!

The alien from 4th movie has wrong legs.

Nice Cronenberg Mask💯

Awesome video! Lol, how much you dislike the Big Chap. I love mine, would still be great for them to take another crack at it.

Bought the Aliens figure, the original blue one. I primarily got it because to me it looks like it crawled out of the pages of Dark Horse's Aliens comics. The figure arrived new in box, completely unopened, but the joints were broken. Unlucky! I went at it with some super glue and I got it to a point where it can stand when propped up on another figure, but the legs are essentially noodles. At some point down the line Im gonna try and get a drill and put some metal rods into its legs.

I also received a broken one, so I have two of the blue ones. I got some metal stop motion armature joints off of amazon, drilled into the upper and lower legs about an inch deep, and anchored it in with some gel super glue. Fortunately, I was able to preserve the rubber joint coverings. When I was extracting the joint peg, it was turning to powder like something from the Andromeda Strain. Hot Toys definitely used to use some questionable quality plastics, as anything prior to 2010 you have to treat like a museum curator touching archeological artifacts that are thousands of years old.

Just bought the hot toys alien warrior on this recommendation

Well now I know if I’m looking for a PredAlien I better make sure that it’s not ☢️ contaminated

Where are these Japanese sites you mentioned for bidding as I often spent silly prices on my collection , any help please

YOOOO WHAATS TOTILLA PFAFF DOIN HERE????!!

I hate that big chap too, so much, since I was 12

I'like Medicom Real Action Hero "Alien".Good video👍👍

excellent!

I just bought the Powerloader and came here to find out if they had made an Alien Queen in 1:6. Now that would be a big figure.

I live in Japan and own a battle damage Predalien, and a blue warrior from Aliens. This last one I got for about $55 because 3 articulations we're almost pulverized. I restored it by the tobacco ashes and super glue technique. It's now possible again although has limited mobility. The Predalien, I broke the inner mandible trying it to stay out and pulled it too hard that it detached :( Haven't been able to glue it back since the spot is too deep in it's throat. Great video.

That's a great fix, and using tobacco ashes as a thickener is a really interesting technique. I'm working on the extra one I have to see if I can come up with a plan for all four of the joints. So far, the one that has worked is using a stop motion figure's adjustable ball joints. Basically I drilled down into both lower and upper sections of the leg at the knee, and inserted the metal rods with superglue about 2 inches in either direction. Both rods attach to an adjustable ball joint, which gave me full mobility at the knee. The nice thing is that the work is easily hidden by the rubber joint cuff.

Inner mandible? You mean inner jaw? Also, for it being the BD version, it's technically more film accurate that way, since Wolf ripped it out before stabbing the abomination through the head.

Its rewatch time :v

L for the Prometheus hate.

dog alien is my favorite

Awsum

what are you gonna say to me now that you've killed me

Big chap♥️

You’ve not got another sub! I have been closely following your channel. I wasn’t sure about it so I kept my eye out. But after this one, I have decided I enjoy the content and most of it is stuff I’m ACTUALLY interested in. I agree with pretty much everything said here. I actually just got lucky and came across a collector who is selling his whole alien and Predator collection including everything in this video at the price he bought it for upon release. So, good to hear someone be honest about them. Some of them I wouldn’t normally get but being they’re the only 1/6 scale option out there, I’m doing so anyway. Like the Big Chap. Either way, I think your channel is actually better than a lot of others that are monetized. So keep it up! I do wish I understood the whole Japanese auction thing. I’d love to be able to do the same.

Thanks, happy to have you on board! And what an awesome score. How is the condition of everything, I am trying to develop a good joint replacement strategy for the earlier ones. If there isn't a single problem you should buy a lottery ticket. As for the auction thing, once you join one of the sites like buyee, it is mostly like eBay, you just have to get to know the right combination of words to put in the translat surch function (some of their terminology is different, but nothing you can't get a hold on with Google translat, ie cut and paste the Japanese kanji/kana for xenomorph, alien and such) I know that this is a generalization, but on a whole, japanese sellers tend to be more honest and less about maximizing profits than most, so I have never had problems that can't be quickly rectified. I was in shock when I got a pristine 79 kenner Alien for under $200, my hands were shaking when I opened that box.

@@strangeform Thank you! Glad to be aboard! Ya I REALLY lucked out. When the guy contacted me in response to an add I posted in a BST group looking for certain HT Predators he told me a few he had that I mentioned. He then told me the price which seemed 2g2 be true. And in my experience it almost always is. But I currently have the Aliens Warrior and Predalien on the way from him now. And have already received a brand new unopened Wolf Predator Heavy Weaponry from him. I will have a few more from him as well. I am very worried about the joints of the Predalien… I really want to display it with Wolf… what were the main issues with your Predalien? Not the battle damaged variant but the original. So as far as the Japanese sites. I sort of get it… but to be honest I’m not even the greatest with EBay. I used to purchase things from HK websites for the custom mechanical keyboard hobby so I thought maybe I’d have some experience but, I was lost haha. Think you may make another video about it one day? Maybe you shouldn’t give away too many secrets… haha. I LOVE my Kotobukiya Aliens. And I love the little mini figures you had in the video. I need to find a way to get ahold of those. My so would also enjoy those.

@@strangeform Sorry I didn’t really answer on the condition. Nothing I’m getting from him has been opened. I’ll be the first to open them. The Wolf Predator isn’t THAT old so he was in perfect brand new shape. I’ll see how it goes with the predalien and Aliens Warrior. As well as the Jungle Hunter, Dutch and Billy, the AvP predators (2.0) versions. Oh I also have an unopened Grid Alien coming. That is another I’m a little worried about because of the age.

Wow, I find it baffling how inaccurate some of these figures are. Neca really soloed Hot Toys for more than a decade in terms of screen accuracy, even if they're technically two completely different scales.

finally someone said it, big chap from hot toys is really bad

im out

why u looking like mr cruel man, its throwing me off ;(

EXCELENTE , EXCELENTE VIDEO AMIGO .....¿ ALGUNA PÁGINA DONDE COMPRAR ESOS ALIENS ? ....GRACIAS .....😮
