9″/3″ Park 6 Alien Encounter – “9 Alien and 3” Skippy
Artist: Maria Clapsis
LE: 1000
Price: $74.95
This design looked intricate from the concept art and the figure does not disappoint in person. In fact, I’d have to say I’m more impressed in person.
The 9″ Alien looks absolutely fantastic. Lots of detail and great colors used on him. Take a close up look at face, I didn’t notice the slimy drool oozing out of his mouth before I got the figure in hand.
Skippy is also well done. His droopy characteristics are captured perfectly by Maria.
One interesting note is that the foot is stamped “Primevil Whirl – Animal Kingdom”. An interesting misprint that appears to be on everyone’s Skippy.
Overall, a win in my book. A great tribute to a great attraction. Sorry Stitch, your awesome, but I loved the real Aliens that would scare the heck out of me as a kid. Just a note, no artist card is included with this combo.
Wouldn’t that make this more rare if it was a misprint?
There are a couple factors here. If they corrected the misprint somewhere in the production run, then the variation with less of them would be more rare. It could be either the correct or incorrect version. On the flip side, they might not have corrected it and all 1000 may be like this, if that’s the case, it shouldn’t affect the value either way.
