|
|
22 inches tall. Similar to the early Giger sketch of the creature.
To give you an idea how big, here it is next to the 18" tall Kenner Alien toy. Master Replicas Enterprise nacelles above. 18" Terminator to the right.

I have seen that exact same thing before,, The reason I remember it is it has a unique base.. I will try to remember where I saw this...
If I recall correctly its rare. where did you find this? is this yours? |

Thanks!
I know this must be rare, since I have not even seen this exact one before. There were similar maquettes from Timeslip, Silent Shadows and Psycho Monsterz, but none are exactly the same as this one (note the mouth, arms, hands, bases)
All of these are obviously inspired by this Giger drawing

OK after more Googling it looks like the maquette I have is the TIMESLIP one.

That was made (in the beginning)by the same people who made The Rocketeer and many of the StarWars characters (Han Solo, C3PO, etc) the hight for these was always around 18 inches. They went crazy with this statue and at a low number...
But, for the life of me, I cannot remember the brand |

Will have to dig out the magazines and books but, off the top of me head, its def British, thinking from out of Manchester, and Timeslip Models is ringing a very large bell.
Will get back to you. |

Similar.. but not the same. Mine is a lot bigger (22 inches vs 15). Also that one is posed differently, has the extended tongue, and so on. Similar base though.
The best info I have is that mine is from Timeslip in the UK. This is not the same as "Timeslip Creations". Still trying to pin down when mine was made and how many were produced, and who else has inherited the sculpt over the years.
The ebay one resembles the "Psycho Monsterz" sculpt, and there are other similar ones such as the Silent Shadows.
