Summary: The Mighty Alien is Weak 2008-11-01
Comment: This is a fantastic figure. Hands down the BEST looking sculpt for the original H.R. Giger design to grace a toy. It is simply too beautiful to describe--it's almost satisfying enough to just look at it. For this reason alone I highly recommend it to any Alien fan.
But then why the mediocre rating, you might ask? Because this figure is simply WAY too fragile! If you look at it the wrong way it'll break. Here's the deal: I got the figure today in the mail (while in the middle of watching ALIEN, nonetheless) and within 20 minutes of getting him out of his box, the toy broke. Now, I was expecting this because I too read the reviews, but still... The right arm broke at the shoulder and elbow, as well as the right foot. I managed to glue them together again but... let's just say this particular figure no longer has "20 points of articulation". Currently he's standing atop my Hi-Fi stereo and, judging by today's events, he won't be doing much less.
Here is my WARNING to you all: If you have ANY intention of "articulating" Alien's "articulation", you MUST (1. run the needed body part under steaming hot water for a good minute or more, or (2. warm up and soften needed body part via hair dryer. Even when he feels all nice and soft (because he is BRICK SOLID right out of the box) don't trust him! USE CAUTION AND CARE--DO NOT FORCE anything to move, otherwise it will promptly rebel by ending its own existence. Once properly heated, however, he should "articulate" just fine... well, mostly. But he'll harden up real fast again--so don't plan on striking him in a brand new pose every 3 minutes.
Oh, and the inner jaw must be pulled out by hand (assuming you can fit even the tinniest of fingers into his puny mouth--I couldn't, but did anyway). The mouth snaps shout unless the inner jaw is extended, in which case he bites down on it.
Case in point--beautiful figure, a real treat for the eyes, but in all honestly, after you've painstakingly fixed your personal Alien toy into a pose that tickles your fancy, you likely will not find yourself doing much else with it unless you like playing with a really stiff toy. All in all, I rate this guy's "fun factor" by his durability factor in this case.
If only you could pose him with ease and without the risk of ending up with half a figure we'd have ourselves the perfect toy. Oh well.

Summary: Two out of two broke...I give up 2008-10-27
Comment: To echo what 'meat chunks' said, I bought one and his right arm broke off at the shoulder trying to carefully dislodge it. The clearcoat paint tends to make things get stuck on this figure. Got a replacement and it was stuck in the same place (and twisted off) along with one foot breaking off AND a break at the elbow.
So, BEWARE! I am very careful and rather obsessive and while these look cool, you are asking for trouble. My friend and I also had problems with the large version, but not like this. Too frail and brittle. I give up on this figure. And his dome always had a hidden blob of clearcoat paint on the other side...like they pack these things partially wet. [...] I have never had a figure fall apart this easily.

Summary: Finally, an Alien figure modeled after the original film 2008-09-22
Comment: This is my favorite look that the Alien creature has had in any of the films. H.R. Giger would be proud of the job Neca did with his classic design. The details and paint are spot on. I got mine facing this Alien VS. Predator: Requiem NECA Action Figure Series 3 Unmasked Predator (Open Mouth) on my DVD shelf and they go great together.

Summary: Delicate! caution! 2008-06-24
Comment: I just oppened the package and i went to make my own pose with it.I barely moved the dang leg and it snapped off! So use caution when you want to move it's 20 points of "cheap plastic" articulation. minus stars for that!I was able to halfass it and put it on like nothing happened but if i want a different pose it might not work. Anyway my stars go for the look of the alien. Very nice!
