Review title: Great large-scale figure
Product review: McFarlane's 12" Alien is darn near perfect. I count 14 points of articulation, plus the bendy tail. The construction seems pretty durable; however, as with the small-scale version, this figure is hard to stand without the base. It can be done, but you'll have to work at it. My only other complaint would be the "skull cap." For whatever reason the front of the cap is completely opaque while the rest is completely clear. In the original movie, the whole skull cap was just slightly translucent. These are minor points, though. I would recommend this figure to all Alien fans.
