I definitely lean towards the first ALIEN alien...alien.
Seeing as they have the ALIENS license, I'm guessing they'll make the Cameron style soldier aliens. Unless they go with their AVP line, then we'll get that alien with the dice-and-slice head from the Predator's net.

I would much prefer the earlier Aliens and an old-school predator. I though AVP was alright, but for me they didn't hold a candle to the originals.
As for Ripley, now I have no choice but to pick up the Hicks... I guess I always knew I would... but I have no choice now :chew

Me too, just ordered Hicks from John's Toys, he will be getting harder to find once Ripley is announced unless HT produces another wave of these, which I think they might but until they do grab him while you can...
As you know SSC and Alter Ego are sold out of Hicks

Couldn't find Hicks on RE, maybe you got yours just under the wire.

I'm hoping that HT will actually do both an Aliens alien and the AvP incarnation, it makes sense since they have both licenses.
The only thing with the Alien is...what "extras" can it come with. I mean, the marines have all sorts of cool armor and weapons as do the Predators, which justifies the price and the fact that they're "model kits". So what can they do with the Alien?
Maybe he'll come with a choice of heads...original "smooth top" alien, ornate soldier alien (Aliens) or the Grid Alien from AVP. That way you can "build your own" version.

An alien figure wouldn't come with much, but I would imagine that if they are to be made, we would at least get a chestburster, facehugger, and egg in that box!
I like that idea better! Perfect -- all stages of the alien!

Egg in a box! Reminds me, I skipped breakfast this morning.

It's a guy's prerogative!
Where did you find Hicks in stock? Or did you pre-order him for the next wave?
Oh s**t, I forgot to send out a big THANK YOU to Adam at Dark Shadow Collectibles!!!
Adam rocks! And he's very easy to deal with in every way. He's my new main man for purchasing collectibles.
I got Scar, Hicks, Vasquez and Apone from him. The marines are selling out fast everywhere. Maybe word of the pending Drake and Ripley is spreading. I do see posts on almost every other board I visit making that announcement.

I checked over there and Hicks is listed as pre-order, maybe you snagged the last one in stock.
Pm me if you have a phone # for them, only saw email contact info.
pjam said:
No, I pre-ordered them at DSC. If that's the second wave, so be it. I think Adam gets his stuff thru Sideshow, so when Sideshow gets their marines, he'll get his, and I'll get mine. His prices are better though. Much.
As of last night, Adam does have 3 more of Apone and Vasquez, and 2 more of Hicks I believe, at least as of when I ordered.
Are you looking to get one into your greedy little hands right now, P?

Well, I ordered Vasquez from AE and they have her in stock for $72 and I think everyone else has Hicks on Pre so YES! I want him now but will be happy to wait a m onth or so, but not until like August.
I just saw that SSC won't get them until 3rd qtr so I guess I'll just have to wait. I had one on pre w/JT but it look like that order may get cancelled.
pjam said:
I can wait. Like SS, at DSC you don't pay until the item is ready to ship, so it gives me time to ready my cash. You never know what's coming in life.
I would like to get my Vasquez now...but I'll wait until all three ship together I guess. My Scar should be shipping in 2 weeks (along with the SS ones), so that will give me something to toy with for a while. By then, Anakin should be near shipping. I like spacing them, so I can enjoy each piece by itself.

"Just tell me. where. they. are."
Vasquez-
I'm with you on the wait, I'll hang w/Adam @ DSC, best deal, might even throw in Apone, but I'm afraid I'll regret it if that hero head guy isn't doing paint work, I checked his site and it said not taking orders for paint jobs...
pjam said:
Yeah, I emailed Lonnie about that and he confirmed that he has no painter available right now to do the work. However, Apone without Lonnie's Hero head just isn't Apone. He doesn't have a goatee. Must replace head.
I know a few guys who could do the work. Most charge around $25 or $30 but you also have to pay shipping back and forth. Hell, there's CustomMikey here too that does pretty good paint work. PM him and see what he charges. Maybe if we get ours done together we can get a corporate rate.
