That on the shelf... What a great display that would be...

It's only one of the most iconic movie images of all time. Alas, Howard don't care.

I wonder was it a problem with Dafoe or something. But if so, why not tell us that.

SDCC is a fairly obvious announcement that they have the figure in development. They should keep us up to date on how the figures are going. Not too much different from what Asmus are doing.

Right but that still doesn't mean that they're ready for it to go into production on everything they're showing. Plus while an announcement would be nice if they haven't taken your money they don't really owe anyone anything. It'll happen when it happens.

I don't remember where but I read somewhere that the poor sales on the Barnes figure gave them cold feet so they decided not to waste money on producing an Elias. Don't know how much truth there is to that. It's very cruel of them to not give us the three, Taylor, Barnes and Elias. It just sucks having the soul, Taylor, and the devil, Barnes, with no angel, Elias, to even things out.

HT is notorious for not completing sets. In fact, the first set they ever completed was Avengers, which is very recently. Every other "line" had a missing key character (like Barbossa from "Pirates").

All we can do is stay positive. The day she officially gets announced, tears will run down my face in excitement.

Seems to me like their holding this line back pending Blomkamp's ALIEN release.

...or the 30th Anniversary of ALIENS. But they'd still need to get preorders up now for a release next year, so waiting for A5 seems more likely the way we're going.

Wouldn't making Alien 5 figures be the best thing to do when Alien 5 comes out?

To me any waiting is an opportunity for yet another superhero movie to get in the way, pushing these figures back and back and back.

There is a good reason for them holding back. Look at Bespin Luke and the gap of Star Wars releases. The moral of the story is Disney is buying the Alien franchise.

Wait, hear him out, at least for a minute. I'd love an alien outfitted with Mickey Mouse ears. And an alien that bled love, instead of acid.

Wow, that's the stuff of nightmares, there.
