Such an amazing concept and paint job. The Alien King, or Rouge Alien, in the comic was conceptually a lot different. It was created by scientist to hunt and kill the Xenomorphs. It wasn't worshiped by the drones. Of course when it was time for the showdown with the Queen, the king didn't last long! But I appreciate how Sideshow will take a concept and put their on spin on it. I actually prefer this vision of the Alien King. The drones / warriors following the king out of the hive is something special. They look much more detailed than what we see on the Alien Queen Maquette. But incredible work from sideshow.
Pretty freaking cool statue! I really started liking it when you showed how detailed it is in the closeups. The little alien minions are wild! Good luck at volleyball and basketball! Thanks for the review
I have one of these but haven't opened it yet. The box looks super cool. Im waiting until I have a nice quality glass display case. Can anybody point me in the direction of a perfect glass showcase for something like this to fit in??
Yea i had this and sent it back as it had some glue on the around feet of the drones.. Also their was too much PVC as all the drones and the head and tail were made of it.The paint turn me off on the drones because of that stripe down the middle on their head?. ..So the base and body is what sideshow said was made of poly-stone and with a price over $1,000.00 with shipping for me was not worth it..Still a cool looking piece
You should get the Alien I saw on monsterpalooza 2019 video. Scary as Hell. This is a nice piece and it will pair well with Queen Alien Maquette. Thanks for the review!
Alien King makes his first appearance from a DarkHorse comic called Rogues or Alien Rogues. I can't remember. He is engineered by a mad scientist (go figure) to go up against the Queen. But it back fired as the King was far more aggressive then the queen and went rogue. Even tho it is stronger then the queen. The queen is far more intelligent and killed the king.
Yes and I believe the goal was for the Rouge Alien (king) to kill all of the xenomorphs. I don't think they actually followed the king, he was more so there to exterminate them. But like you said the Queen was much quicker and intelligent therefore made quick work of the king! Sideshow sometimes develops there own vison of a character. So this particular King could have "subjects" and other Aliens following him. Personally I think that is much more interesting. I would much rather have seen a version of the Alien King than Pred-Alien or the "aliens" we got in the Prometheus movies.
Coooooool wish I could own an action figure of the alien king cause Lord knows I wouldn't be able to keep that statue from breaking cause my kid would break it for sure . Hmm I think I'll make one out of scratch , cool review man
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX That's sick bro. I have the tweeterhead, prime 1 3 bust set, and a tim curry custom. I'm also looking at adding the scary closet pennywise, but still not 100% on that.
I love love love. This piece...it's such a shame some alien fans don't bother to read comics. Therefore skip on this piece. The price also is a turn off. But I'm glad you like it.
I've asked Sideshow employees and they cant give a consistent definition of maquette. Maquette honestly has no definition. Strange that no one can come to agreement on what it means.

Nice looking piece, love the base with the Aliens running to attack to protect the Alien Queen a classic piece this.
Thanks for your review. Unless I missed it, could you tell me what it's made out of? Is it polystone? Thanks so much
PVC and Resin. Exact materials will be on manufacturer's website

Very well done piece overall. Gotta love kids!
Almost traded for this one. You have to see the paint in person. Video wont do it justice. Its wild. Kinda wish I had pulled the trigger on it.
Love Alien myself as well!
I really love your reviews dude, so many amazing pieces and I agree with your comments almost always. Keep up the good work dude!😎
That's awesome, love the Alien series in the movies. I Hope they continue.

Badass piece bro, now you need a pennywise for your horror collection.

Awesome👍
Not your shining moment.
Great piece though.
Are you looking into the Prime 1 Aliens or XM's versions?
Not into alien stuff but he looks pretty damn cool
Yeah who isn't an Alien and Predator fan :P
I love love love. This piece...it's such a shame some alien fans don't bother to read comics. Therefore skip on this piece. The price also is a turn off. But I'm glad you like it.
