I'm one of the collectors that got screwed as I had a crack in the leg of mine and was told they had no more spare parts (Only offered $180 for the damage). I'm happy for others to be able to get this piece but agree that Prime 1 are shameful for their business practices
2:25 Yea I 100% agree with you Mr X, you’re not entitled to make a profit selling a statue, you should be buying these statues because you like them, not to make money selling them because someone wants it and missed out initially. I absolutely hate that mindset.
You had me at collecting is about the community! It’s so great that you understand that, and you also get enjoyment out of the statues! Thank you for always sharing and paving the way for new and old collectors alike! You’re Everything that’s good about the community! Thanks buddy!
Glad they reissued, orders from the Todd father. Wish they would take care of collectors who got screwed first time around. This is my Favorite Xenomorph design. Spot on from the Alien movie and also Alien Isolation! That game is terrifying!! Love how he pairs with your dog alien!
@@theinferno18 I would expand by saying brand recognition and loyalty. Can do that as well. Look at McDonald’s and Walmart not good products but they can have shitty customer service and still do really well.
Im kinda glad they re-issued it because I missed out on the first version due to covid. But I prefer this one anyway since I love the base and simplicity. Its in only 1 box too! They also made some improvements on the bust. But I do feel bad for the original owners due to the damages/leaning and not everyone got help.
One of the best sculpts ı have ever seen including customs, xm og supreme scale narin’s warior alien proto is my favorite ( production paint is not as good ) this is following it. İncredible incredible paint just like you said chaotic and organized. To me its like hush superman level good project for p1 even tho lots of drama behind it. Chase after it guys while u can mine is on the way . Congratz Mr x such an awsome and honest review
The intro was so funny LOL cuz you honestly know that there is people like that would love to get an alien statue or Predator but yet again they're so damn expensive just like everything nowadays
Prime one did not take care of the original costumers while reissuing the same scale and pose of the character. That sucks. It's like Sideshow with their mark III Iron man that they obviously remade from before but just added light up features to it. I was glad and so I got one but that is not right. Anyway that Alien sculpt is really well done and as long as they sold out it only proves that is still a well sought after piece. So congrats to those who were able to get one of these second edition versions.
I was extremely lucky as purchased the OG but it arrived with 0 damages (although one toenail had busted through the foam so dodged a bullet) congrats on getting the remake as it is a very cool addition to any collection 🤘👌
I've got the original, and I love it. I think it's in the top 5 statues of my collection. I do love how P1 will include portrait stands for some of their statues. Having one of the beautiful extra portraits sitting in a box would feel like a crime. I wasn't angry about the re-release, because I got lucky and received a flawless piece. I was upset about the collectors that P1 couldn't help. Regardless, whichever version you get, this is the best Alien statue on the market. Overall low ES gives this piece great value.
Deserved a reissue. I'm glad they did so more collectors got a chance to grab one. I have original one. No real issues luckily just a little wobble keyed in but little putty fixed. But yeah prime1 definitely should have offered to fix some with extra parts now with the reissue.
I think he is slightly more crouched, which looks menacing, and I also believe he is stepping forward more than the original. I love the H.R Gieger designs, very visceral.
I don't mind the reissue since not all of us were around at the time when they were originally released, but they certainly messed up by not helping out their original customers.
I think they did a great job with this statue and looks awesome. I do like the one with the wall cuz I like the way it looked gave you more of a scene that he was in but like you said then it takes away from your main focus of the alien
11:00 - At the beginning of the skull(closed mouth head), near the nose, is there an injury or indentation? (white in color) or does it just appear that way due to refraction? Btw. cool video. Congrats, amazing beast.
I kind of like it when they reissue statues. Yes statues have value but I don't think it's the sort of hobby where people should generally try to profiteer from the second hand market. For mass breakages you would expect the ability to do replacements even if there was some postage payable by the consumer. For the statue itself I don't like the standing up pose, nor two translucent heads. I like the black shiny look like a bug.
I just got mine today, and there's two small breaks 😞 One was a chip on the base that I fixed, and the other was one of the neck tubes that is harder to fix 😢
Your statue doesn’t key properly, but are saying it doesn’t have the issues the original one with the wall had. Well, I have the wall one…and it came perfectly, no broken parts…and both feet key in perfectly. BTW, the bases are different. Same shape but different design. They also varied a bit on the paint app. The dome on yours seems clearer and more see-through than the wall version. Overall, I prefer the wall one, it just adds more of the Nostromo factor, but I do like yours too.
Me X, can you film a side by side with their 1:3 Predator? According to P1 site, the Alien is 11CM shorter. I’d like to see how they pair up. Thank you.
Based on images/videos the paint app looks too shiny.. and not black enough. Playing the parts of two Prime 1 Studio employees is genius! ..or a slow decent into madness ;D
Yeah, they were all we listened to the fans. I call BS. Fans screamed about flaws before the first one came out and they didn't do squat. It's just a money grab because they didn't sell many during the pandemic. BTW, my first edition arrived in perfect condition. And I think the reissue dome looks like crap. The first edition is closer to how it appeared on the screen.
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX There are things I like and things I don't. The original bust is top heavy and tips over easily. They redesigned that. The original bust has ribbed circles around the arm holes that are inaccurate. Numerous people pointed this out and they only removed them on the re-release. People didn't like the wall because it was big and heavy but we had no choice and had to get it if we wanted the statue. And yeah, I'm a little salty about the resale value. I had people offering me double what I paid for it. I'd be lucky to break even now that the numbers have been diluted. Not that I plan on selling it but you never know when you may need to sell stuff.
Maybe on one of your shows you could explain how it's OK to pay £1500 see a piece broken and say I can glue thst back on. 😮.. if you bought a Chinese vase for that sum and a hadle was broken off it would be worth the same as a bottle of bud.. how does that work with statues they must lose a huge part of thier value.. Good review but statue not for me.
At around the 2:12 mark, you talk about how you buy statues because you are into the hobby and you seem to discount original collectors who may feel this reissue negatively affects the value of their original purchase. That's fine (and I agree with your thoughts on this subject) except why do you have a value section in all of your reviews where you talk about your ability to resell the statue and make money or at least break even? Seems a bit hypocritical for somebody who is only into it for the love of collecting? In any event, incredible looking statue. I am not a collector of Alien items, but this does seem to have a 5 of 5 presence.
I think value is an important part of collecting for many people. The only objective method I have to evaluate it is based on resale value. Just because I rate this category doesn't mean I care about it personally.
@@TheXtremeChannelMrXWith how you sell so many statues for way under the sale value we know you don’t care about resale when you purchase your statues.
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX check it out, it released around 2017ish, and was for a long time regarded as the most accurate (if very small) Big Chap sculpture by us Alien and Giger afficionados. It’s crazy how similar the Prime 1 studio is.

I think without the wall, this statue looks way better.
Oh my God that opener was hilarious Mr X hahahaha, thanks for the laugh, I rarely get a good out loud laugh.
One of the keys to happiness. Get some good laughs in every day
Thanks for another great review X! Got my tracking # yesterday for the limited version. This is reassuring :)
Glad they reissued, orders from the Todd father. Wish they would take care of collectors who got screwed first time around. This is my Favorite Xenomorph design. Spot on from the Alien movie and also Alien Isolation! That game is terrifying!! Love how he pairs with your dog alien!
In a nutshell, Prime 1 Studio can be summed up as follows: amazing, incredible statues, horrible, terrible customer service and business practices.
You can afford to do that when you have a great product.
@TheXtremeChannelMrX You're absolutely correct...and it sucks in this particular case!
@@theinferno18 I would expand by saying brand recognition and loyalty. Can do that as well. Look at McDonald’s and Walmart not good products but they can have shitty customer service and still do really well.

ALWAY'S " GREAT" YOU ALWAY'S BRING US GREATEST!! THANK YOU!!!😊😂

Great review, MR.X! Have mine coming from bbts.
Waiting for mine. Glad they did that release, the dome is more clear than the OG and I like that, looks better
Yes, I have been cutting back order from P1 and I feel I may not miss anything if they keep reissue their best products anyway.
The intro was so funny LOL cuz you honestly know that there is people like that would love to get an alien statue or Predator but yet again they're so damn expensive just like everything nowadays
You nailed the CEO voice 😅... and the statue itself is pretty cool. I prefer it with the wall tho.
Your take on the whole situation is spot on man. I agree 💯
I just paid the final payment and awaiting shipment on this guy! Can't wait!!

Genius!!! Game over, man! Game over!"
I’ve got some bad news. “Well that’s a switch”
Damn! Beautiful statue and man such a legendary cinematic character. I love the Alien franchise. Watching it as a kid was awesome.
I've got the original, and I love it. I think it's in the top 5 statues of my collection. I do love how P1 will include portrait stands for some of their statues. Having one of the beautiful extra portraits sitting in a box would feel like a crime.

Very pretty Alien, I would love to have something like this, but I got to pick and choose which statues I collect. Glad you finally got one.
Deserved a reissue. I'm glad they did so more collectors got a chance to grab one. I have original one. No real issues luckily just a little wobble keyed in but little putty fixed. But yeah prime1 definitely should have offered to fix some with extra parts now with the reissue.
Love all of HR Giger's stuff. Amazing piece. Might have to get a 1/4 alien at some point. Just have chestbursters.
Can't wait to get mine. He looks great and I saw it next to the dog alien. Amazing setup. 🙂
I think he is slightly more crouched, which looks menacing, and I also believe he is stepping forward more than the original. I love the H.R Gieger designs, very visceral.
Aliens is one of my favourite movies, scared the shit out of me when I was kid😂, great statue Mr X
The paint is amazing. It's probably one of the best I've seen.
Fantastic review! I actually sold the one with the wall for this one without the wall 😊
Idk I feel like they could do more with these alien pieces. I will say the paint looks a bit better than the original.
Yea I just think this is really boring, I’d have no interest in this whatsoever. The other 1/4 scale Alien statue he showed was much better.
Reissue or not, this might be the best Big Chap statue I’ve ever seen and I hope I can get my hands on one eventually. Great video and review!
I'll agree they should have taken care of the customers with the broken pieces first
They should definitely make the original people that bought the statue whole and fix any problems they had
2:04 My thoughts exactly. 🍺
Haha, somehow I see stand up in your retirement future… (nice intro)
Always wanted to try it
I don't mind the reissue since not all of us were around at the time when they were originally released, but they certainly messed up by not helping out their original customers.
Looks incredible. Not something I would buy but I appreciate what went into this.
Yeah very cool, love the skull-dome
Stunning piece Mr X looks amazing 🤩
I think they did a great job with this statue and looks awesome. I do like the one with the wall cuz I like the way it looked gave you more of a scene that he was in but like you said then it takes away from your main focus of the alien
What issues does wall version have? I can get de regular wall version or the dx limited version, so would like to know that and your personal opinion
Large portions of them arrived broken without replacement parts
This looks amazing!
It's not the best Alien statue I've ever seen, but I love transparent bits on the skull...
Definitely feel prime should have taken care of their customers first. We have no stake either way but that seems like a low blow re releasing it
A good piece for Halloween.
really cool statue, I rally like the translucent paint job.
Its amazing..they should have taken care of those customers from the fisrt run
11:00 - At the beginning of the skull(closed mouth head), near the nose, is there an injury or indentation? (white in color) or does it just appear that way due to refraction?

My waitlist on the original converted today.
i don't know is too late this order this or not. amazing piece.
Check Prime 1s website
the assembly music reminded me how much I love Stranger Things

I can’t. There’s no room. But plenty of people have posted that in the Fb groups
Looks great may not be a huge Alien fan. But still amazing
Alien and Aliens are my fave films
That's awesome! I love it, flaws and all.
That's a sweet statue...
😎👍
Awesome piece Who did you get this From and how much was the shipping on it.
14:06
Love the statue the details are crazy
Cool statue, but it sounds like the customer service sucks.
That's zenomorph-tacular
I approve of this piece
Not making things right original buyers parts wise is pretty bad but its an impressive looking piece
Looks fantastic, aliens is one of my favorites
now thats cool
X Factor for sure.....
5/5
Mine arrivedd yesterdaay
The beast was a fckn beauty ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
My waitlist for the original converted yesterday lol
Wall was cool, but took away from big chap. No problem with new version sans wall, but not taking care of 1st edition breakages is absolutely fucked
Mine just got shipped. Maybe 3 months. Lol😂
I just got mine!
LMAO dude you look and remind me of Vince mcmahan, lmao
You remind me of my father
The base looks like an rotten german coffeetable.
That's very specific
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX yeah we got one when I was little😂
2 months later I ordered it 😂
Is this a reissue of the maquette?
Of the "wall art version"
@@BrokeAssCollectorthank you for the reply
This was pretty shady of them. Cool statue though.
Based on images/videos the paint app looks too shiny.. and not black enough.
Playing the parts of two Prime 1 Studio employees is genius! ..or a slow decent into madness ;D
I agree. I also think it's missing that bit of dark fade on the front part of the dome.
This is Boss ❤
It’s a cool statue but I think if the tail was n the air it would look even better have good day mr x
Aliens is the goat
Great statue
Prime 1 make great statues but their customer service and ethics are utter shite

Agreed. Too stIFF
That's why it's called the MUSEUM version.

I never have said it’s okay. Some people flip out. I just don’t let unimportant things bother me. Makes life a lot easier to manage

Kind boring statue but they did a great job on it. I love the skul 💀 little foggy.
