Alien Warrior & Big Chap 1/2 Scale Busts: Walletbursters

Sideshow Collectibles will release two Xenomorph busts this year. Both the Big Chap and the Alien Warrior will be in “Legendary Scale”, the toy maker’s term for 1:2 scale. Unless we’re talking about a Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann scale model, I refuse to call anything that’s half the size of the original “Legendary”. That said, these busts are freakin’ scary.

Come on Sideshow, use a banana. Get with the program. The Big Chap is 14″ high and has its trademark slimy shine, semi-translucent head and French kiss-ready mouths. It also bears a relief of a xenomorph egg and a facehugger at the back of its base. It also comes with a plate that bears the Alien movie title in its stylized font.

The Alien Warrior is not as slimy or imposing as the Big Chap and has its distinctive ridges. Its bust also has an egg and facehugger relief has an Aliens film plate.

Bigfoot Found!

If you had bet me that there would someday be two shows about finding Bigfoot on TV at the same time, you would have won that bet soundly. But here we are, and Sasquatch is bigger and hairier than ever. Now I wish I were on that 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty show, because I’ve just found the beast.

Unfortunately, this “life-size” Bigfoot is only a bust, so that probably doesn’t count for the $10 million prize. This detailed replica of the elusive, yet non-existent creature was made by DougFX, and is crafted from rubber, polyurethane foam, fake fur and glass eyes – which I have on good authority is what actual Bigfeets are made from. And lollipops.

Actually, this replica is based on the 1967 Patterson/Gimlin film of a Bigfoot nicknamed “Patty”

This monstrous Bigfoot bust can be yours for the low low price of $1500(USD). I guess if I had the money to spare, I’d actually consider buying one, if only so I could have my own reality show.

Admiral Ackbar Magnitude Bust: Napoleon It’s a BonaTrap

Careful Star Wars fans! What you’re seeing, it’s a trap! For your money, that is. It’s the wise and bug-eyed Admiral Ackbar, decked in military uniform and a glorious mustache. This fine sculpture is based on a glorious painting by Steven Daily.

The bust only has 500 units available, so if you want a mustached squid man gracing your house, pre-order one from Gentle Giant Ltd. for $175 (USD).

TDKR Flash Drive: When Your Files are Copied, You Have My Permission to Open Them

If you’re a comic book geek or love Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight movies, get your wallet out. A company called Infothink has created a new Batman flash drive based on The Dark Knight Rises, and it looks pretty cool.

The flash drive and its dock look like a bust of Batman in his black armor. Batman’s head separates from the body and has 16 GB of flash storage inside. The bat logo glows when the chest and neck portion of the flash drive is plugged into a USB port, as do Batman’s eyes when the flash drive section is plugged in. The flash drive has 16 GB of storage, and each one has an individual serial number with an RFID tag that can be read by smartphones with NFC support.

This is an officially-licensed DC Comics collectible, and it’s not cheap, selling for $86.99(USD).

Yoda Bust with Human Complexion: Judge Me by My Color, Do You?

The species of legendary Jedi master Yoda is one of the mysteries of Star Wars. Whatever he is, all we know is that he’s small and green. If you ever wondered what he’d look like if he had more or less the same skin as humans, sculptor Andrea Eusebi has a possible answer. Also, you wonder about strange things.

Like child of elf and hobbit, Yoda bust looks. Hmmmm.

Eusebi finished this particular bust way back in August, but if I’m not mistaken he’s still willing to make more if you want to buy one from him. Head to Facebook to contact Eusebi and to browse more images of his amazing work.
