Alien King Maquette Photos and Info

under Aliens and Predator Toy News

On Alien Day, Sideshow revealed a new Alien King Maquette. Details were fairly scarce at the time, but we now have some additional details. Sideshow released new photos and more info on the upcoming statue. Pre-orders go live on Thursday, May 12th. Here are the details direct from Sideshow:

Working in direct partnership with Legacy Effects, the artists and nightmare makers behind the creatures and Queen from Aliens, Sideshow is extremely pleased to present the Alien King Maquette.

Standing as a compliment to his Queen, the Alien King is a fully-realized canon character brought forth to once more haunt the dreams that Geiger so carefully crafted for us all.

Standing a a massive 20″ tall and 21′ long, the Alien King Maquette strikes a pose of unrelenting drive and energy. This is heavily accentuated by the seven aliens that swarm around his clawed feet.

At $999.99, this one is for the highest of high roller collectors only. Payment plans will be available. You can admire the photos by reading on.

    While this looks absolutely fantastic, I'm sort of against the whole "King" concept. I prefer to think of xenomorphs as insects. A queen, a hive, drones, etc. A king conflicts with that.

    Let the Queen have all the glory of being the biggest badass in the galaxy, no?

    I agree with this sentiment. What purpose would the king even serve?

    The "King" concept comes from the Dark Horse Comics series Aliens: Rogue. It's not so much a natural "King" as it is a genetically modified Xenomorph created by a scientist to battle Queen Alien. It was supposed to be bigger and stronger to take out the Queen, but ultimately gets killed by the Queen.

    Well that's not too shabby of an explanation and hey the Queen won. Watch somebody complain that her victory only promotes the feminist movement

    It's not an impossible request if you think about it. With NECA about to kick off their Kenner waves of the Xenomorphs in the near future, all one has to remember is that there was in fact a Xeno "King" figure that was put out by Kenner. So it definitely wouldn't surprise me if we see him somewhere down the line!

    This thing doesn't really look like the one from the book though he kind of looked like a catfish.

    Also, in social insects the drone is larger and specialized for breeding with the queen it would make perfect sense if it was some unseen thing that wasn't shown before they didn't know about the queen originally either.

    The smaller aliens would be closer to workers not drones.
