Oyama Alien at Aliens Hideout

Alien created by my favorite Austrian artist HR Giger has been one of my favorite movie characters. This 1/8 Alien kit from Japan by Oyama has been built and painted professionally. The sculpt quality and details are amazing. However, in my opinion, the most special part about this display set however is the inclusion of this Alien Corner base, or I prefer to call it the Aliens Hideout, which did not come with the kit. Both the Alien kit and the Alien Corner base are equally rare to find. The base was purchased separately from a garage kit shop called Starwars Emporium in England many years ago. Amazingly, it’s in scale with the Alien kit. Please note that the Alien Corner base came with an Alien head surfaced partially and creepily from the base just like the way the character would in the movie. It also came with a human face on the other side of the base. A great base can be very harmonizing when being put with the right kit, and this kind of match is extremely rare. I am proud to have come across them and to put them together in perfect harmony with one another. They both not only complement one another, but also dramatically enhance the value for one another as well.
