The premiere release in the series is the Alien Warrior from the 2004 AVP film. In the movie, this sleek re-working of the original Alien design was animated using CG techniques to portray its inhuman sense of balance and motion. The S.H. MonsterArts figure perfectly replicates this on-screen appearance. The joint system has been specially designed to allow dynamic poses without breaking the figure's distinctive silhouette. The unique head structure is rendered with translucent plastic. Thorough research allowed us to bring subtle organic details that were almost impossible to see on-screen to life in the sculpt, and every effort was made to conceal the joints for a natural appearance. The S.H. MonsterArts edition of the Alien Warrior represents a new pinnacle for Alien action figures.
The joints were designed to support the unique bipedal and quadrupedal poses of the Alien, with special attention paid to the waist and the ankles for an expanded posing range. The rear of the neck was designed to support the massive head in a natural-looking way, while the "pipes" on the back are poseable as well. These joints allow the Alien to support itself in all sorts of dynamic and delicate poses, from crawling on all fours, to leaning in towards its prey.
The aggressive nature of the Alien is accentuated by its ferocious-looking inner mouth and its giant, spiked tail. We paid special attention to these key "weapons" of the creature. The top of the head can be slid to open the main mouth and reveal the threatening inner mouth. And the tail was provided with joints to allow multiple degrees of freedom for achieving and holding the subtlest poses. And the tip of the tail uses diecast metal parts to achieve an even sharper feel.
Accessories include a finely detailed egg chamber and the "juvenile" form of the Warrior, the "chestburster." All can be displayed together to expand your display possibilities. Two different hand variations are included as well, for enhanced posing and expressiveness.
