Bringing the 1:4 scale Queen Alien to life, in conjunction with Stan Winston
Studio has been an exciting project for the team at Sideshow
Collectibles. The project has been spearheaded by John
Rosengrant, (a 20-year-plus veteran at SWS, and one of the key
artists that created the Queen for the film 'Aliens'), with the
goal being to bring a rare collectible piece of movie history to
the fans in a new dynamic fashion.
Working closely with
Stan Winston, John started with the original film molds of the
1:4 scale Queen. The Queen sculpture was originally designed as
a 1:4 scale maquette, a study piece to be used to create the
full-size Queen for the film. The 1:4 scale Queen was also the
basis for a miniature rod puppet used in the film making
process.
Both the goal and the
challenge of creating this unique collectible was to reposition
the sculpture into into a dynamic, energetic pose that would
capture the true nature of the enraged Queen from the film. Due
to the large size of the so-called "miniature," (nearly 3 feet
tall), the designers felt that an animated bust would be the
best treatment to display the Queen. Working with that concept,
hours were spent making adjustments in the pose until the
correct balance was achieved. To set off the Queen, a simple
machined but slightly organic base was created. After many
attempts that included "Gigeresque" bones and other more ornate
details were tried, it seemed best to display her on a strong
elegant base that featured the Queen sculpture, rather than the
base. With Stan's approval, the tool masters were touched up,
remaining faithful to all the original sculpted details,
resulting in what we feel is a beautiful, but aggressive
presentation of the original Alien Queen.
