ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

[FACEBOX]

Hmmm...sounds like she's in for a rough time of it either way! Joking aside, I have the same idea, one for the PL vs Queen battle and another for the egg chamber confrontation. I wonder if Queenie will have the ovipositor or not... it would be great if she does, but I'm guessing it'll be the "stripped" version, to go with the PL. Does anyone besides me hope that HT is planning to make Bishop and Newt? Even just the upper half of Bishop would do! I'm sure most of us have visions of killer Aliens dioramas after we've collected all of the necessary characters and pieces...it's gonna be a real treat to see what everyone else does with their figures in a few months from now!

This?

Hi all, I'm new here.

 

[pjam]

In other news...

Pjam, I'm thinking maybe trying some HO scale light bars for the cage lights rather than LEDS. I'd rather not have to cut into the cage bars for the illuminator lights.

Also, any word yet from Lonnie about those new Frontline headsculpts for Hudson and Drake?

Any day now on Lonnie's Hudson and Ripley heads I suspect...

On cage lights, yeah, no cutting if it can be avoided. I was thinking maybe flat lights with switches we can glue onto the bars, almost like a car tail light, anything like that out there?

 

[dekadentdave]

Flat white rectangular lightbars yes. I could solder them to a micro on/off switch. Just have to find a way to run the wires so they will be concealed without cutting into the plastic and a place to conceal the battery. I'll have to figure out the best way to do that when we get the PL in hand.

KamenGuver made a very intresting post in the 300 1:6/PF thread.

Yeah, we should all PM Hot Toys to drop by here.

BTW, here are some info that HT answered from that TD thread in case you guys are interested.

- HT doesn't have Preadator I&II license yet. HT said if they got the license, they will consider to make Dutch as well

- Rambo 3 coming 2008

- No plan on Alien Queen so far.

- HT also mention in the other thread that they drop the idea of making Cain because it is too complicate to make.

No Queenie just yet.

There will be plenty of wires coming out the PL's back. I'm sure you can find away to make them fit in.

 

[dekadentdave]

Man, I thought for sure the Queen would be SDCC. Oh well, more time to save up for her then. And that's good news about Predator as well. I was gonna make my Rambo III custom but maybe I will hold off now. Glad to see it is coming.

True or I could just run them through some styrene tubing so it will look like more hydraulic tubes that are part of the unit. Good idea.

From March 1 NL...

The original 'Alien' film introduced one of the most memorable modern monsters, and the sequel, 'Aliens', introduced a team of worthy adversaries, the Colonial Marines. Drake and Hudson are two of the most popular of the Marines, and we are happy to be able to distribute the Hot Toy model kits of your favorite, alien-battling, trash-talking soldiers! These new Hot Toys Colonial Marines are due to begin shipping any day now, so make sure to grab yours before the Alien Queen makes them her lunch!


HC likes to hold his cards close to his chest, if ANYONE thinks the Queen won't be coming, I ask you why HT decided to sell a PL/Rip Combo set...

Common sense guys...

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

So, will those that wouldn't have ordered Riley if they knew HT&SSC would have given them the Ripley/Power Loader combo, get a refund? I know I wouldn't have ordered Ripley alone, if there was a combo coming up. So?

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

I wouldn't have ordered 2 if I had known. I like having a Ripley with Leather jacket and pulse rifle on display and I like the idea of having Ripley on her PL with it's arms out.

But not 3 of them. At leats, not at $94 each.

Or run wires up the cage bars to the back where we can hide everything else (batteries), we can keep the wires black or paint em yellow and glue them tight to the bars...

this sounds EASY PEASY!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Hey, Easy-Peasy Dave... where are your Ripley pictures for us to droll over?

 

[dekadentdave]

What, you mean my Ripley with the broken foot? She's waiting for Sideshow to get back to us so we know if I have to send just the foot back or the whole figure.

 

[Praetorian380]

anybody know where I can find a HT Ripley for a low price and from a reputable dealer?

This is the best price you will find her for and Marc @ Alter Ego is a great dealer.

Yea!

 

[Wor-Gar]

BEST news I've had all week. That's so awesome to include her.

BRAVO Hot Toys. I love you.

 

[dekadentdave]

Do you think maybe if we ask them real nice they will include Newt with Casey or do you think that might be pushing it?

While we're at it, we should also ask for a upper torso Bishop figure.
