Cool Collectibles: Alien Queen 1/4 Scale Bust



This massive and monstrous Alien Queen bust by Sideshow Collectibles was made in conjunction with Stan Winston Studios’ John Rosengrant, one of the key artists that worked on the Queen for the Aliens movie. This thing is almost 2 feet in height, width and diameter and sells for about $945. It was released almost 3 years ago but you may still be able to purchase it from Sideshow Collectibles’ website or eBay.

I remember this one very well. This....is beyond awesome. It's godly. Just LOOK at it. It's....also insane. But it just demonstrates the power and greatness of Sideshow.

You can also see details a lot more clearly than you can in any of the movies, since the Aliens tend to be...in the shadows all the time.

Yeah, it was expensive before, but if anyone is selling this on eBay or elsewhere, it'll cost you a fortune....

You should display Sideshow's other Alien works. They're truly...astounding. The original Alien, which they have made a few works of, is really creepy because you can...see the skull inside the head; it's typically called the 'skull cap'. You couldn't really see it that well in the movie, but it was there. And...the front of the skull....looks human. It has human-like eye sockets (which demonstrates that Aliens must have...some kind of eyes, and debunks a notion some have that Aliens have no eyes and can't see at all. Even though they..can clearly see, if you just watch the movies). It freaks me out.

But, well, that's H.R. Giger for you. He's...a weird man.

I’m fairly new to Sideshow Collectibles and collectible figures in general, but the one I’ve seen from them are fantastic. I definitely need to check the Alien you mentioned. Just the other day I saw one for the original Predator hanging out in a tree, and it looked wicked. You do indeed get to see all the intricate details not seen clearly in the movies. This Queen Alien one in particular is breath-taking, as well as frightening. Imagine having that thing next to a nightlight in the kid’s bedroom. Mommy would be scrubbing shit from them undies for weeks.
