Alien Xenomorph Life Size Bust HCG Original Prototype 2009 LOA H.R. Giger

Alien – Xenomorph Life-Size Bust – Original HCG 2009 Prototype with LOACondition
Original early HCG prototype from 2009 with LOA from HCG. The translucent dome was previously cracked and has been filled in preparation for sanding and repainting, but the restoration was never completed. There is also some deterioration to the sinew detailing on the left side, together with a few minor paint scuffs. Please see photographs.Prototype Details
This is an original early Hollywood Collectibles Group prototype created in 2009 during development of HCG\'s life-size Alien Xenomorph bust.

It predates the finished production edition and provides a fascinating look at the development of the piece before the final paint specification was established. As an early prototype, the paint treatment differs somewhat from the later production version, making this a distinct pre-production piece rather than simply an unnumbered production bust.

The prototype is accompanied by a Hollywood Collectibles Group Letter of Authenticity confirming its authenticity and provenance.

Overview
Designed by H.R. Giger for Ridley Scott\'s 1979 masterpiece Alien, the original Xenomorph became one of the most influential and instantly recognizable creature designs in cinema history. This imposing life-size bust incorporates the elongated translucent dome, exposed inner jaws, upper torso, shoulder structure and extensive biomechanical tubing that define Giger\'s legendary creature.Design & Display
The sculpt extends well beyond the head itself, incorporating the upper torso, ribbed shoulder anatomy, exposed tubing and back structure, giving the piece considerable presence from every angle. The large translucent dome reveals the underlying skeletal and biomechanical structures beneath, while the early prototype paintwork has its own character and differs subtly from the treatment ultimately chosen for the numbered production edition.Construction & Dimensions
A substantial life-size display piece, professionally hand finished and painted with extensive biomechanical detailing throughout.

Approximately 21\" H x 20\" W x 33\" L.
Approximate weight: 35 lb.

Condition Notes
The translucent dome was previously cracked. The damaged area was filled as the first stage of a planned repair, with the intention that it would then be sanded and repainted, but that work was never completed. There is also some deterioration to the sinew detailing on the left side, together with a few minor paint scuffs elsewhere on the bust. The filled repair and other condition issues are visible in the photographs. Please review all images carefully.Specifications
