Item Description
For "MAXx FX" toyline information, see previous item. Offered here is the prototype for the never-released "MAXx FX" Alien action figure, based on H.R. Giger's designs for the 1979 film "Alien." Unlike the other prototypes being offered this auction, this figure is an accurate casting of the original sculpture that Matchbox commissioned Birnkrant to create for the smaller-sized Mego figure. It was not reinterpreted by the Matchbox design department as it was already produced in the final production size. This is one of two Alien prototypes produced, which were used for photo on back of box and for display at Toy Fair. The proposed Alien action figure would have had a series of spines along the creature's upper spine, but the prototype offered here was not produced w/any. When all snap-on appliances are in place, figure stands an intimidating 11" tall. Base figure has hand-painted head. Included are all hand-sculpted appliances for lower legs/feet, thighs, chest/torso, upper arms (including piece meant for right arm on left arm, but not distracting), lower arms, hands, collar/back/tail piece that hangs over shoulders and stunningly detailed large head/mask. Base figure wears black bodysuit w/the "MAXx FX" logo on the chest (back of lower legs are exposed as designed, but this is not visible from front). All appliances have been painted black w/metallic silver air-brushing highlights. Head/mask has additional faint red air-brushing highlights. Aside from some minor paint wear on arms, one kneecap and tips of toes, figure displays Exc. Comes w/shipping box w/"Max Miracle Models" label, used to send and store prototypes. Ex-Mel Birnkrant Collection and comes with COA.
