ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

SSC will be announcing 6 new HT figures for pre-order during SDCC.

Hmm... could one be a.... RIPLEY?!

 

[gdb]

I think you may be right, pjam!

But if Ripley's one, who are the others?

 

[Batty]

I hope so. If Hudson and Drake are two of the other ones, what could the remaining 3 be?




gdb beat me to the question.

Drake, maybe even Hudson, but prob just Drake and Ripley not that I'm complaining. The reason I think there may be three is they did the first Marines as set of three and this could complete the Marines line.

The other three? Who knows, they do have the SR and BB licenses as well as Robocop (Cain from RC 2? Omigod!) Original Predator? Something new? Oh, no, not Rocky Balboa, they already have the body and head sculpt, all they have to do is shave off the bandana.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Definitely has to be Ripley and Drake, as we've already seen the prototypes. Maybe one of the other 6 is the GRID ALIEN from AVP.

Is HT making "Clark Kent"? If so, that's probably one. So that leaves 2.

Gonna be tough to beat the Med Clark but yeah, makes total sense but with Rocky Balboa coming out and HT doing Rambo and Rambo Paratrooper I would expect to see that coming soon.

 

[Batty]

Is there any chance of them doing an Aliens alien or are they sticking to AVP?

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's a good question -- obviously they're doing ALIENS, so yeah, maybe a Cameron style Warrior Alien.

 

[Batty]

I hope so, because I haven't been able to convince myself to get the AVP Alien.

I'm the same way. I desperately want an ALIEN for my marines...but the one offered is just...I don't know. The whole AvP thing I guess.

I would love some classic Aliens and Predator figures. The new AVP style is just to "Xtreme" looking. It'll be a sad day but I'm ready to trade up on my Medicom RAH Alien

Which Medicom Alien do you have? Green, black, clear?

 

[galactiboy]

Black with silver teeth... It seemed the best looking out of the number of variants.

Although in your list you forgot the grey version... my friend has that one.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is the gray one the so-called "translucent" version, or is that the "green" one?

I get them mixed up. I nearly bought one back in 2003 but decided against it only because I had no Ripley or Marines, and no way to make them easily. Now I'm glad I held off. Wish I could say that about many of my other customs which are quickly becoming obsolete.

 

[galactiboy]

There is a solid grey version and a solid black version (which I have). Not sure about a green one, but they did make a newborn Alien from the fourth movie? There was also a dark translucent figure with a clear dome and projectile mouth. And I think there is also a completely clear one. Its a decent figure, especially for the time... but its an older Medicom which means insanely weak joints. Unless placed just right he falls over, and the appendages will fall off if you look at 'em funny.

I also have the regular Medicom Predator... which has about a million variants as well (even a glow-in-the-dark ). And, he too is in need of a Hot Toys update

Although you can get both now pretty reasonably priced... I saw a couple Aliens end at around $50 and 2 Loose Predators sell for $19! Both figures were selling for over a hundred 5 years ago... but I guess HT has taken care of that.

That's a great way of putting it!

Man that would be sweet!

But Sideshow probably wouldn't be able to touch any SR or BB.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I know this doesn't really belong here but.. they are both ALIENS...

When Dreadheads meet...

Who will win?!

That's gonna be one awesome episode of Iron Chef!

 

[pjam]

Ok Wor-Gar, I finished my Marines, not so sure about the Hicks knife swap now that I looked at it more closely in actual sunlight but I think it is still workable. So, what's up with your crew, they suiting up for action yet?
