The Brain Alien.
It comes with a choice of heads and a random body (i really wish you could chose your body style, but meh, they're both nice.)
You can have it cast in either metal or resin.
I chose resin as I prefer light-weight to heavy and I live in a climate where it will NEVER melt.
I'll try and cover a decent review.
Cost: $15 USD
Shipping: $4 USD
Total $19 USD
Quality:
My resin version was extremely well cast, I've been casting in resin for about 3 years now for pieces, I can not produce something with so little flash, Very high quality casting
The resin itself is very lightweight and extremely hard. A bonus when a lot of the resin pieces available on the Net are softer than they ever should be.
Size:
The Alien Brain is similar in size to the Tyranid Zoanthrope, though it is smaller. by enough that I noticed right away. The Zoey is about half again as wide with it's back spines, and about 3/4 of an inch taller. This is somewhat alleviated by the fact that the Alien Brain comes with a clear plastic "Floating" I refuse to call it flying Base. With a bit of effort they CAN be the same height, but not the same width without adding quite a bit to it.
Here is a picture of it next to a standard current edition Zoanthrope:
As you can see, the sizes are similar, but still not quite perfect, which to me is just fine as it should not be a replica of the Zoey.
Detail
This model really is beautiful. While I would personally never use the Tentacled Head, The bladed head is beautiful. The details are superbly defined. and extremely well sculpted.
I war really hoping to use this guy as a Doom of Malan'Tai model, but because of the size, never will.
I will however be purchasing 2 more of them and fielding them as a squad of Zoanthropes.
Overall, I'm quite Impressed by the sculpt, quality and especially the Price. A resin model of this quality is unheard of for $15.
