The aim of Good Smile Company’s “Figma” line is to put out highly articulated action figures of the characters we all love, and their focus is often on anime characters. But they’ve been known to step outside that box, and they’re doing just that with an incredibly detailed, mega-posable figure of the Alien franchise’s Xenomorph this year.
Designed and painted by sculptor Takayuki Takeya, the upcoming Figma Alien figure measures around 6″ tall, with the smooth yet posable figma joints allowing you to act out a variety of different scenes and poses. Other features include:
- A flexible plastic is used in specific areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
- The lower jaw can be opened, allowing the iconic inner mouth of the Alien to be extended outward.
- A Facehugger is included as an accessory. It includes both a straight and rounded tail to switch between.
- The Alien’s tail features articulation at the base, as well as at two points along the tail allowing for various poses.
- A postcard featuring Takayuki Takeya’s original design illustration is included with the figure.
- An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.
The figure is now up for pre-order for $75.46, shipping in December 2018.
