1/6 Aliens ?

[Chalback]

Hey guys just getting into collecting these, I know when I ask this people will say use the search on the site( for some redone its not working on my cell phone)

I was wondering who makes a good 1/6 alien to add to my collection. Does anyone know if hot toys may revisit this arean?

Thanks for the help

I am sure they will revisit them in time, but no info about the aliens yet.

Hot Toys will revisit them.

Just a matter of time.

Fingers crossed.

Give us a Warrior 2.0 Hot Toys!

I'd rather get one from NECA. Funnily enough when it comes to Aliens I'd trust them on QC more than Hot Toys! And I'd certainly trust them more on accuracy.

Still waiting on that NECA Queen....

Agreed.
I've no hopes for accurate aliens or preds from HT, NECA on the other hand could really deliver the best aliens and preds in 1/6 scale without even having to do much more than what they are already doing...

Well same here. I changed from HT to Neca regarding Preds and Aliens.

still waiting HT make all the alien figures

But they have.
Or not.
Not a single one is actually accurate. They range from slightly accurate (AvP) to downright lala-land (Aliens).

AvP: check.
AvP-R: check.
Alien: check.
Aliens: check.
Alien3: check.
Alien: Resurrection: well, they did release a brown version of the AvP alien...

So there you go, other than a Queen, HT has more or less made aliens from each movie.

Until they get the rubber and solid joints its a nightmare for sell.I had to epoxy the broken legs and feet, and my dog aliens rubber around the joint magically has a tear from sitting on a shelf.

Til then, get the big chap.

 

[nekromantik]

At least NECA have made a Queen sculpt!
If we ever see her in production though is another question.
Last time they said they too busy so maybe next year. Well its soon 2013 so hope they announce something.

If you just want "an alien" or two and dont want to break the bank, the old MacFarlane 12" alien isnt terrible in my opinion. Its a bit of a hybrid of the the first and 2nd movies (so not truly "accurate") and is a tiny bit undersized if you plan to display it with other brand aliens but I like mine. And they arent hard to find or expensive.

This is a pic (admittedly a bad pic) of my MacFarlane 12" next to my Hot Toys 'Aliens' figure. (Mac on the right and the Hot Toys is, of course, the one with one leg on the left. An identical break occurred to the other leg literally hours after I fixed the first leg).

When in a more dynamic crouched/attacking position they dont look bad together or vs. marines. Probably not for the "hard core" collector, but not bad in a pinch IMO

For a second there I didn't notice the dome on your McFarlane Alien. I thought they must have made a 12" Aliens warrior that I never knew about.

 

[Chalback]

Hey guys that's for all the trips and info

 

[Viking Spawn]

The McFarlane version actually looks better.

The McFarlane version actually looks better.

For all the heat MacFarlane takes, this one is a good figure.

Here are a couple more, slightly better pics. The key thing to note is the flash really brings out a LOT of blue on the Hot toys alien and it really over-accentuates the details under the clear dome (as if werent there; but it is!) on the MacFarlane alien.

Both, of course look better in low light.
