Sideshow Collectibles has been teasing their Alien 'Big Chap' Legendary Scale bust since last year and it is now available for pre-order. With an expected ship date of November this year, this bust is part of the 35th anniversary celebration of Ridley Scott's horror/sci-fi classic:

"One of the most recognizable creatures ever to stalk the silver screen, the Big Chap alien earned its nickname on the film set for its overwhelming size. Recreated in approximately 1:2 scale, this magnificent bust captures H.R. Giger's original bio-mechanical creature design in stunning detail. Sideshow's artists have faithfully rendered the xenomorph's distinctive head carapace with its signature glossy-wet appearance, and a semi-translucent surface reveals the haunting skull beneath. Incorporated into the base of the bust is a relief design of an alien egg and facehugger - a special nod to the rich film lore of the Aliens universe, and an accompanying themed film name plate completes the display. 

The Alien Big Chap Legendary Scale Bust is an outstanding addition to any Xenophile collection...just keep it away from the cat."

They are still putting the finishing touches on Big Chap, but the dimensions are said to be: 14" H (355.6mm) x 12" W (304.8mm) x 20" L (508mm). The bust is currently available for pre-order and you can learn more by visiting:
