Video Review – Eaglemoss and NECA.

Unboxing videos? Yeah. I love unboxing videos. I love unboxing videos made by Baptiste Coudert. So here’s a sweet little video featuring his disembodied French voice and hairy arms praising the merits of NECA’s recently released 7 inch tall 40th Anniversary figures. All 7 of them released to date (Ultimate Alien, Ripley, Kane, Translucent Alien, Brett, Parker and …yet another Alien, this one bloodied). Check it out. It’s great fun as always.

But wait, there’s more! Continue reading

VIDEO REVIEW – Eaglemoss Vent Attack Alien

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Baptiste Coudert but he’s back now and has posted his latest video review. This time he takes a look at Eaglemoss recently released Vent Attack Alien in their Mega range of statuettes. Let’s see what he’s got to say about it.

I think he likes it. It’s a unique pose to have the creature in, that’s for sure that emulates the Alien’s sudden appearance when it abducts Dallas. I hope your recent house move went well, Baptiste; and welcome back to where you really belong – with us like minded strange folk who also love this weird stuff.

Eaglemoss Announce Betty Spaceship Pre-Order.

Eaglemoss are extending their range of spacecraft from the ALIEN universe to include the Betty from ALIEN Resurrection. Currently on pre-order from their web store, the Betty is expected to be released sometime around June 2020.While ALIEN Resurrection may not be the most popular movie in the series, it does appear to be enjoying a growing fan base. I know people who will be very happy to see this item be released in the coming months.  Here’s some word from Eaglemoss This Alien Resurrection Betty ship was not based on concept art, but was instead created as a “kitbash” mock-up, a physical model assembled from the parts of various home modelling kits, including the hull from a Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II close support jet aircraft.” No wonder it looks like it was assembled from bits and pieces of debris found in the bottom of Little Jimi’s toy box. Pre-orders are now live, for US$79.95.

Eaglemoss ALIEN Abduction Statue.

I know I posted this item previously but I didn’t have any details. Now I have details. Anyway, Eaglemoss are releasing a new 8 inch tall version of the creature featured in ALIEN.  This item displays the Big Chap in a pose inspired by the one it takes when it abducts Dallas from inside the air vents.  Looks like a good piece, too. The MEGA Alien Vent Attack Xenomorph is the eighth Edition in their MEGA series of static ALIEN figures. Here’s what Eaglemoss have to say about this item, “Your MEGA Alien Vent Attack Xenomorph Figurine has been cast in specially formulated metallic resin and painted by hand to show the alien part-way through in its iconic lunge with a gun under his feet. It captures the alien’s incredibly detailed exoskeleton, long talons, and coiled tail and stands over 25.5 cm tall on a vent like base.” 

Limited to only 2,000 pieces, this item will be released on 1/04/2020, just in time for ALIEN Day this year. Nice timing. Pricing will be GBP109.99.

Eaglemoss Alien Air Vent Abduction Pose Figurine.

It looks like speculation regarding Eaglemoss support of the ALIEN property ending after 50 different production pieces can be put to rest. These images of their upcoming Alien hand painted Mega scale figure have been doing the rounds lately definitely fall well outside of anyone’s expectations and put those rumors to bed. The pose of the anticipated 8 inch (Approximately 1:6 scale) metallic resin piece replicates the Alien’s crouching position as it intercepted and abducted Dallas while he was crawling around in the Nostromo’s air vents, attempting to flush the creature into the airlock with the flamethrower which is also present in this piece. It didn’t end too well for Dallas, now did it? No release details or pricing is available at this time.

Thank you Michael Floyd for additional information on this piece.

Such a weird and wonderful vehicle, even it has made it’s last voyage. Maybe we will find out more about the origin and destination of this giant flying dog bone in an upcoming movie. Continue reading

VIDEO REVIEW: Eaglemoss ALIEN Resurrection Goodies.

Ah! It’s time for another fine video review by Baptiste Coudert. This time he’s scrutinising Ripley 8 and the Newborn figurines from Eaglemoss.

I love Baptiste’s reviews. Pared right back to solely focus on what’s important – the figures and packaging. Simple. Effective. Straight to the point and without wasting time on talking heads and other trivialities.

It seems there’s been a lot of ALIEN Resurrection activity around here lately. Wasn’t this year supposed to be the 40th Anniversary of the first movie? Just wondering when it’s actually going to feel like it.

Eaglemoss ALIEN Covenant Special Edition Figurine.

Gradually catching up on all the things I’ve missed over the past months while moving house.  It looks like Eaglemoss are releasing another large, special edition figure very soon. This one is based on the Aliens seen in ALIEN Covenant.

The figurine appears to be inspired by the work of ALIEN: Covenant poster contest winner, Peter Sandeman.  Peter had this to say about winning the competition “20th Century Fox’ held a competition to design a poster to help celebrate the Blu Ray release of Alien Covenant. This was my entry into that competition and I was lucky enough to have won. One of the prizes was to have your poster displayed in JB HiFi stores Australia wide and I’m pretty excited to see it all printed up!” Continue reading

Dillon is No.47 in the popular ALIEN and PREDATOR figurine series and is expected to be available sometime in February, 2019; while Burke is No.46 in the series and is expected to arrive a little earlier in January, 2019.  Both are made from a specially formulated resin, hand painted and will be 4.5 inches tall.

VIDEO REVIEW: Eaglemoss ALIEN Covenant Xenomorph

It’s our good friend, Baptiste Coudert; and he’s back again for another unboxing video review.  This time around he’s investigating the recently released Eaglemoss ALIEN Covenant Xenomorph figurine.  Or is it the Protomorph..?  …or maybe Xenomorph V1.0.  Hell.  I’ve seen it referred to each of these monikers at one point or another.

Anyway, check out the review:

Looks like a neat little piece.  I like it.  Its general morphology is very good and the detail is terrific.  The finger count on each hand is incorrect – it should have 1 thumb and 5 fingers but if it comes down to being petty on such nitty-gritty anomalies, hey that makes it a damn good item in my book.

Thank you once again for the review, Baptiste.  Always love your work.  More please!

VIDEO REVIEW: Eaglemoss Sulaco Ship.

It’s time for another Video Review by Baptiste Coudert.  This time he turns his eager unboxing skills to the removal and appraisal of the Eaglemoss model of the USS Sulaco, the Conestoga class ship that appears in ALIENS.  You knew that already, right?

Well, let’s find out what Baptiste Coudert thinks of this release from Eaglemoss in his latest unboxing review.

As always, thanks for the great rundown on the item.  Love your work.

VIDEO REVIEW: Eaglemoss Neomorph Figure.

It’s time for a video review from Baptiste Coudert.   Everyone’s favourite Frenchman in the ALIEN Collector community.  This time around he’s unboxing and giving us the low down on the recently released Eaglemoss’ iteration of that dastardly rascal, the Planet 4 Neomorph.

Once again, Baptiste shares with us his opinion and provides a comprehensive insight into the figure and the package.

Thank you, Baptiste.  As usual, a short and concise no nonsense appraisal of the subject being assessed.   Very welcome.

Eaglemoss Dr. Gediman Figure.

Towards the end of the year, Eaglemoss will be releasing issue #42 in their series of ALIEN and PREDATOR figurines.  This one will feature Dr. Gediman, one of the research scientists aboard the Auriga ship that appears in ALIEN: Resurrection.  Looks like Dr. Gediman will be available sometime later this year, December 2018, to be more precise.

You can pre-order Dr. Gediman (about to be abducted by his ‘beautiful butterfly’) now from Big Bad Toy Store.  Price will be US$29.99.

It’s great to see Eaglemoss taking up the challenge of releasing these lesser appreciated characters.  I’m hoping to see ALIEN: Isolation’s Dr. Kuhlman become available for pre-order one day from Eaglemoss.  That would be neat.

VIDEO REVIEW: Eaglemoss’ Prometheus Trilobite.

2 video reviews in one day by Baptiste Coudert is a treat!  Here he is once again with another Eaglemoss video review.  Celebration time, I say!  This time, he’s tackling the giant ancestor of all things that enjoy face raping their victims, the joy and wonder that is the PROMETHEUS trilobite.  Check it out.

I have always enjoyed Baptiste’s video reviews and can’t wait for the next item from the Frenchman with the hairy arms.  OK, maybe they’re not that hairy… ah, just go watch the video, alright?

Thanks once again, Baptiste.  Another great insight.  This time he’s taking a peek at Eaglemoss version of this oversized and unsightly, tentacled thing.
