1/6 Hot Toys - Aliens ALIEN Warrior 2.0 (2016)

[Bruisermoore]

Amazing thanks. You know any good eBay shops or Facebook? Thanks again

There's some guys on FB, but I've never dealt with them personally, so I wouldn't feel comfortable telling you to go to them. On eBay, I know a lot of people use Timcent88, and he'll work outside of eBay as well if you contact him, usually knocks $15-20 off his selling price since he saves the fees. I hope this helps!

Actually looks *REALLY* good here. At least to me (I don't have anything from Alien(s) at all though).

 

[cmiller99]

"how it looked on screen" vs. "how it looked in real life"! The never ending battle.

I think this film more than any in cinematic history invites this argument. Damn you Cameron and your creative use of lighting and 'blue filters'!

*(fwiw, I'm a brown warrior and Brown-Bess weapons & gear guy! Screw those blue *******s and olive drab weapons! It still won't stop me from enjoying this warrior though)

The suits that the Agents wore in The Matrix were black in real life. If there were licensed figures of Agent Smith, wouldn't people want a greenish tinged suit?

Filters are important. It's much more important to reflect how something appears on screen when you're going for a film accurate figure. Recreations of prop Aliens should be brown, absolutely, but HT have a completely logical reason to make them blue.

Exactly my point. ...if it was brown I would still want it though.

This is something I really don't get. The Cameron alien is black and brown, there is no argument. People want to say it's blue because it looks blue in the film. So do all the human characters 90% of the time, do you get blue Ripley and Hicks figures? No, you don't. They look blue because of the lighting and colour grading, nothing more. Buy your black and brown alien toy, statue, whatever, put a few blue LED lights above it, what do you get? Film accuracy.

People's brains tend to compensate for flesh tones though. Using cmiller's example, when we think about Agent Smith we think about a regular white dude in a green suit, not a greenish guy in a green suit.

Having said that, I always thought the agents' suits were green in the first movie. Taking your word for it cmiller!

 

[P.]

There is really no doubt that HT are aware of how the costumes look

Perhaps there were green suits in the first film, but they didn't use green filters as extensively in that movie. They went completely overboard with the green filter in the sequels and I'm pretty sure the suits were blacker in those.

Maybe a better example is Voldemort in the last Harry Potter movie. Those robes are very black in real life but look green grey on screen. Star Ace did the right thing, their robes are greenish grey.

Guys, I'm gonna ask a very stupid question but I just don't know as much as you guys,

But what's the Big Chap vs. this Alien Warrior?

 

[jacerc130]

Look we're all in strung out shape, but stay frosty and alert. We can't afford to let one of these *******s in here.

Big Chap is the single Alien from the first movie. The Alien Warriors were the many, many Aliens in the second movie.

There are some design differences between the two.

Ah I see... well I kinda want Big Chap then because you know, its the one that started it all thanks man

 

[cmiller99]

No worries.

 

[Genosha175]

There are differences. The first alien is a death angel, always there, watching, biding its time, knowing when to strike and kill... and also when to drag away and and morth into eggs. The Cameron warrior.. a hive mind, kills all that threaten its matriarch, everything for its progression. Both similar looking except their heads. One smooth, one ridged.

I guess it also matters which movie was your preference too. Of course Alien was a much more suspenseful/horror/scifi while its clear that Aliens was action oriented.

 

[DeadLeaves]

The colour really depends on which part of the film. If blue is accurate, shouldn't there be a red version for operations battle too then? Or an orange version when they're lit by fire light in the first encounter?

 

[karamazov80]

Blue.

 

[CollectorGuy]

They always looked rather blackish to me and that was how kenner made them when i was a kid. Rarely did they ever look brown to me in the film. I'm fine with it.

 

[P.]

they should have skeleton white stripes
