ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

[screamingmetal]

Does anyone know of a site that sell parts and pieces from HT Aliens? I'm looking for a Facehugger for my Predator to hold in the hand opposite the spear with the Alien head on it....

It might be best to buy the Mcfarlane 12" Alien because it comes with two Facehuggers (not sure how many Facehuggers, possibly just one but I'm almost positive it comes with at least two).

The new paint job on the Aliens Warrior looks better, but I'm still not happy about the sculpt. It looks like his thighs have been melted by acid or something.

I guess my biggest complaint would be the thinness of the tail.

That's a neet Alien head you've got there! What scale is it, and where did you get that??

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Man the ALIEN from ALIENS looks FANTASTIC! Glad I waited for these ones instead of the AVP versions...

Yes... I ordered both of the AvP Aliens. Don't know what to do with them, now we finally got a REAL Alien...

And what's with the BLISTER exclusive Power-Loader being WITH Ripley figure? Shouldn't they have spread that around a bit more??? Less of an 'exclusive' type thing?

It's a 2 pac, here's the link from Hot Toys:

If anyone missed Ripley from SSC (she's sold out now) might still have a chance at Hot Toys.

Oh, that's not mine... I WISH! It's an actual film prop from Aliens, now in Bob Burns Basement. This shot was a time Bob brought it to a convention for Aliens fans to see.

Bummer! I'm still looking for an Alien or Aliens head in a descent scale. That one would have been perfect so it seems! Oh, well...

Sweet I got my Apone for retail last week and just won Vasques on ebay for retail and with Hudson and Drake already ordered I am catching up. Anyone have a lead on a Hicks? I know he won't be retail but he's even hard to find on the secondary market.

McF's alien comes with three huggers.

I don't own any but I have seen pictures of the the smaller 8" AVP Snap Kit figure's Egg packages that are close to 1:6 scale.
But yeah, I'd love some specific Movie Masterpiece 1:6 Accessories, Face Huggers, Eggs,, Chest Bursters, half of the Bishop Android etc.

McF's alien comes with three huggers.

I wanted to say three but mine have been dispersed all over my collection in boxes so I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the help.

Just keep with Ebay and keep an open thread here in the Commerce Section... you will find one. I sold mine a long time ago and was looking forever to remedy my blunder. It took a few weeks, but someone eventually found me one. I've seen some parted out on Ebay here and there... I actually have an extra set of Hicks BDU's that I got from Ebay...

Thanks, I think I actually have a line on one but with overseas shipping hes not cheap.

{Release in 2nd Qtr 2007}

2nd Q release!


Plus, at last, photographic confirmation that the PL arms DO in fact articulate at the elbows:

I'm greatly relieved

 

[abake]

Great news!
I'm so getting this!

 

[pjam]

So, the blister exclusive Rip comes with deco dirt shirt and pants, no jacket or weapons and the PL, release 2nd Qtr? We probably won't get ours till March 08.

Will be great to see some in hand pics soon though, and yeah, I was never as worried about articulation as some... really, did ya think they'd make a Queen to go with this thing if it couldn't do those poses? No way...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Great news indeed. But I'm a bit confused now... The PL without Ripley is due 4th Q and this new PL/Ripley combo is due 2nd Q

There must be some mistake. Anyway, now the question is: get the PL announced at TF, or get the new combo one so you can have a dedicated Ripley to drive it?

I want the Ripley I have on order to have her weapons and gear... I don't really want to strip her of all that cool stuff and just leave it around... so I may need 2 Ripleys now... which makes me wonder how much this combo set will be.

Oh, decisions, decisions...

Yes, i understand that you don't want all those cool weapons laying around. I'm not sure if I buy a second Ripley though. I'd like to know, is if the Ripley/Power loader pack is at a special price. Cheaper than buying them separately? That would be interesting to know.
If you want an other Ripley, you'd have to go through a retailer, or chance your luck with the SSC wait list?

 

[dekadentdave]

What I want to know is why this wasn't offered for pre-order FIRST BEFORE I placed my order for the one WITHOUT Ripley? Seriously, I would have went the combo route regardless. Why isn't Sideshow taking pre-orders on this?

 

[pjam]

If you read between the lines HT wants these 2 packs released (2nd qtr) before they announce the Queen @ SDCC. That's your three piece "must have set" timed for the Queen's pre...
my take on it anyway.

 

[Wor-Gar]

You'd think they'd sell more AFTER they announce the Queen. Its strange that they have this combo on their site but with no price and no pre-order info available. The 2nd Quarter might be a mistake -- or they mean to say it will be available for pre-order in the 2nd Q, to coincide with the Queen. That would make more sense.

Still, I'd like to get this combo rather than just the empty PL. I just wonder how much more they will ask with Ripley included? $299?
