Post subject:  Hachette Partworks 1:2 Scale Alien

Hi

Couldn’t find anything in the search for this but thought I would share a pic of this item if anyone is thinking of getting it.

Overall, it’s very nice and is mix of metal, plastic and rubber parts.

My main issues with it are the battery compartment is accessed behind the pipes which means they are removable and therefore held in place by magnets but they are not particularly strong so this has a tendency to fall off with very little help. Also, I had assumed that the stand would attach to the body but on completion it just supports the weight of the tail. This means the alien is mostly free standing and so balancing is tricky. That’s it though really on the negative. Otherwise I think it’s a really nice piece and I will probably find a way of holding it place better myself.

Couple more pics added below as system doesn’t want to let me add multiple files to one post for some reason.

Cheers

The head lights up as well, which whilst not exactly accurate is a nice effect and looks good in the dark.

Is this the one that was available as part of a monthly magazine? It looks quite large, how tall is it?

Hey Harry,

Yes it’s a monthly subscription model. Unlike most this one is being done in the UK over 12 months instead of the usual 2 years or so. It went on sale last month I believe but I started mine a couple of years ago and imported it from France. It is about 1.2 meters tall.

There’s no sound but the head moves left and right which is activated by sound detection.
