  1. The head... (Normal, inner mouth, 'human like')

    This is my first revoltech figure, and I definitely find it much better than hottoys snapfast kits in so much more ways. I haven't taken much in terms of photos since I only got it after work just now, but here's some in the meantime.

    Some shots with figma:

  2. The plastic trays:

    th_P1010102.jpg th_P1010110.jpg th_P1010111.jpg th_P1010112.jpg

    The way the notches are placed on the trays and the presence of only 2 twisties seems to leave the overall packaging quite collector-friendly.

    The contents:

    The lead-off character in the new Sci-Fi Revoltech series is none other than the original Alien "Big Chap"! This guy works particularly well as a Revoltech figure, too, what with his segmented body and all. Very cool! Main jaw opens and inner jaw can extend. Includes bursting egg, facehugger, and base with a separate nameplate. Amazing detail and amazing posability (13 points of articulation, with a bendable and posable tail!) make this Revoltech figure a must-have item for any Alien fan!

    Academy Award-winning SFX, makeup, and film director Chris Walas (The Fly, The Fly II, Gremlins, Scanners, Naked Lunch, etc.) proclaims, "Unbelievable! This is the best Alien figure I have ever seen!"

    Packaging(Flap)

    th_P1010098.jpg th_P1010099.jpg th_P1010100.jpg

    The flap is held closed by a small piece of velcro. It's quite a neat way to present a background story of the figure's on the inner flap.

  4. Thanks, guys...

    Scout: An ewok! And it's armed with a spear.

    Commander: Good! It's target practice time then.

    Then the jungle came alive...

    Thanks for looking.

    2nd phase of spring cleaning done.

  5. It was a close shave. The monstrous AT-AT was finally brought down and not a moment too soon. The defense line was covered in snow and ice settling down after the crash. Through the fog, the soldiers tried to locate targets of opportunity.

    Close Quarters Combat takes on a new meaning...

    Thoughts on this figure...

    After collecting solely sideshow starwars figures, I decided to pick up hot toys terminator salvation figures, and well, they are literally mind-blowing. In realism, detailing. stability and posability. And this particular figure looks just like it stepped out from the theatre screen.

    More shots over the weekend. :wink:

    Using the standard Terminator Salvation theme packaging so, the name of the product is etched onto it.

  8. And her next change of costume...

    th_MFSN-14.jpgth_MFSN-15.jpgth_MFSN-16.jpgth_MFSN-17.jpg

    I have collected some PVC figurines in the past(Gundam Seed Destiny's RAHDX, GITS:SAC, etc), and this is one extremely detailed figure. Even with the swappable parts, the details are indeed flawless. The essence of Sheryl Nome during her concert is very much captured in this figurine.

    And before I end off, here's some more random pics with a certain background...

    th_MFSN-18.jpgth_MFSN-23.jpgth_MFSN-24.jpgth_MFSN-25.jpg

    Thanks for reading. :wink:

  9. Slowly taking apart the figurine...

    th_MFSN-12.jpg

    And the rest of the parts off the trays...

    th_MFSN-13.jpg

    The parts do have a nice and snug fit. Of course, please use the usual care in slowly taking them apart. One thing is, parts of the clothing do have pegs similar like when assembling snapfast model kits/gundam model kits. So do take care when (dis)assembling this figurine.

    Now, let's take a look at the base.

    th_MFSN-11.jpg

    It's totally transparent, and comes with Sheryl's signature on it. And the neat thing is that the signature is printed on the underside of the base, so no worries about accidentally rubbing it off on top.

    Now, let's take a look at Sheryl's costume during her concert.

    I didn't manage to get the Banpresto figurine of Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee, and well, it's good I waited further. Since there's this figurine that got released. And it can be displayed in 2 modes. Ultra CoOl.

    Bought it as shown,
