My first impression was that this was way bigger than any Revoltech figure I’ve seen to date. Good! The Queen is supposed to be huge, if she weren’t large as hell, that would’ve been a big problem. Of course, large as hell in Revoltech scale is still tiny compared to what most of you guys are used to. She takes a lot more effort to pose than most Revoltech figures. She’s top heavy with skinny little legs and keeps wanting to tip over! So you cram that stabilizing pole into her chest and hope for the best but even then, it’s difficult. You’ll notice in a few pictures I couldn’t get her feet properly aligned on the floor.

The paint scheme shares a number of similarities with the Alien Warrior, as you’d expect. However, the brown transparent areas are more muted. The bone structures on the back of the head and the brown surrounding them provide a great contrast with the rest, I wasn’t even aware that was how the Alien Queen looked back there! The other parts of the Queen come in a gorgeous dark blue, although I’m pretty sure the teeth are supposed to be painted white? Strange that they’d skimp on that detail, considering the rest of the paintjob!

Packaging wise, they managed to cram her into a box very similar in size to the rest of the figures, impressive! Unfortunately, this means she comes with pretty much no accessories.

See those almost wing-like boney structures on the back? They move up and down. I didn’t think they’d be very useful but depending on what pose you have her in, they do add a more menacing feel if you line them up properly. You’ll probably find you’re concerned about breaking them off though, when you’re trying to jam in the one leg and one arm into the socket, they get in the way of a proper grip. I was damn sure I was gonna crack them off and write an angry paragraph but hey, luck was on my side!

No complaints about the sculpting but I’m not as familiar with the Alien Queen design as I am with the Alien ones. The sculpting job they’ve done on it allows a lot of movement, including full movement for those goofy little T-Rex arms on her chest!

See what I mean about the size thing? I don’t think that’s to scale but it’s not bad by any means, she’s a big one!

3.5/5. She’s well sculpted, well painted, but a pain in the ass to pose, which really limits the “toy” aspect of a Revoltech figure. I would’ve paid a few bucks more for some accessories too! On the other hand, she adds a lot to an Aliens collection.
