First off... for Christmas, Santa pre-ordered the Sideshow COMMANDER BACARA Deluxe Figure. He arrived a few weeks back and is freaking awesome looking!
Not sure where I'm going to put him yet... but for now, I threw him on a shelf with McQuarrie Vader & Clone Trooper:

And then last night my belated Birthday gift arrived -
The Sideshow Big Chap ALIEN Statue!

oh stfu, prequel hater.
;-D
:-/
looks good, though.
Why do they call him the big chap?
It's my understanding that while filming 'ALIEN', the crew nicknamed the adult alien "Big Chap". Much like they nicknamed the "Facehugger" and "Chestburster". Or how the 'Jaws' crew called the shark "Bruce".
Impregnating parasite = facehugger
Pupal stage = chestburster
Adult = big chap
So the "Big Chap" alien refers to the alien solely in the first film; ALIEN. You really only hear & see the name used in merchandising. I've never heard a fan call it that, myself.
great stuff!
I hope to pick up Bacara someday soon, he fits in nicely with the other clone commanders.
Let's see an "MTV Cribs" style photoshoot of the different rooms in your house where you put all this stuff!
My statue comes on Tuesday! What's your overall thoughts on it? In terms of accuracy? From the pics it looks pretty damn good.
Ehhh, it is what it is.
It's not out-of-this-world amazing, and there are some "incaccuracies" for lack of a better word, but for the most part those are small picky gripes.
Its cool enough that I wanted it and used pretty much all my santa connections to get it. It's still very sweet and I'm happy to have it in my collection. I think you'll be pleased :)
