ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

[galactiboy]

Now I don't want to be oppositional about the figures I still love my sad little Medicom Alien

But for the time that Alien figure was the ****... but with companies like Hot Toys and others pushing the envelope its unbelievable how much difference has been made in a decade.

Sorry to interrupt your Aliens thread but I have to address an issue...



*cough* Anna Valerious and/or Selene *cough*

Thank you for your time, carry on.

Aw come on.

Cinematic and not just Sci Fi? Try Nicole Kidman's character from Dead Calm.

Bodycounts are not everything.

I always thought the biggest error in Alien 3 was having no Newt. QUOTE]

Agreed. There was no Alien 3 or the incredibly disasterous franchise-killing Joss Whedon scripted Aliens 4 "Alien Resurrection". Some say it wasn't his fault but it was his ridiculous premise and implausible storyline and in the end it was Joss Whedon who was credited with the Screenplay which means no other writers contributed enough to earn credit. I like Joss, he is a Legendary writer and Pop Culture icon but he completely blew it this time around.

There is only "Alien" and "Aliens" IMO

I say scrap the last two, just erase them from your memory and any box-set and start over from the end of Aliens. And yes, that means bring back Newt, just figure out some device, maybe an imaginary delusion where she never really died, maybe she was a clone or whatever, but she must return!

Um, you do realize that A4 WAS the first incarnation of Firefly don't you??

Look at the character archetypes and the ship!

LOL

 

[galactiboy]

Hmmm... I really didn't like Resurrection when I first saw it... but I may need to check it out again with Firefly on my mind.

If only Firefly had Ron Perlman and Michael Wincott in it....

This is the Alien I've been waiting for, my brothers!

This also means...

THERE WILL BE A QUEEN!

btw, Ripper looks damn good in that pic.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, no way they'd make the Power Loader w/o the Queen... my guess is next year we'll see her!!!

 

[pjam]

Doesn't Ripley look good?

I think since HT CK came out they have improved their Paints apps over there @ HT, let's hope so...

 

[YoNoSe]

Pardon me for getting emotional, I haven't been posting here too long, but that power loader almost brought a tear to my eye. Amen.

Emotional!? I have lost all control of my bodily functions!

 

[YoNoSe]

Haha....I'm a hardcore Star Wars guy, it's what made me start buying Sideshow, and 1/6 in general. That said, when they made Jabba, I was intimidated by the price, the size, and don't regret not ordering it.
However, I'm already planning for this....I need the Power Loader, need a Ripley, need that Aliens warrior alien....thank GOD I didn't cave in and buy the AVP warrior...having just received my Hot Toys Robocop yesterday, I couldn't be more excited for this.

 

[pjam]

I hear ya... I don't think the PL has a light function for the beam, looks like that will be a mandatory upgrade for us nutjobs and easy to do I would think

 

[Bonehead15]

IMO Ripley looks 100 times better in the Power Loader pic.

I agree that it looks like the paint ops have improved since the prototype pic was first released. It's almost Sideshow-Bizzaro-ish.

BTW, both the Alien and Power Loader look amazing!!

 

[pjam]

VTR's are up for Drake and Hudson, SS TF booth map, #13 I think, Hudson has a new HS too, better than he was before but is still NOT Hudson IMO.

Lonnie @ FL will take care of that...

A HT Alien 1 creature would be vedy interesting, I'm guessing b/c they are tossing out pieces from ALIENS that might be a cue they'll keep the line consistent. Keep in mind there were several variations of that bugger in the film too. What I WANT is a BOLD move from HT here and an excellent opportunity to follow up Ed 209. A HT Ripley to accompany a 24 inch Queen Alien would be insane.

Then, of course, a sixth scale power loader to go with it (as in ED 209 cool mechanical stuff)

As Apone said to Ripley when she revealed she had a class 2 license to operate that thing, which is an ingenious design in itself...

"Be my guest"

btw, I got very lucky with the TRU Exclusive 2 pack, these go for $40 Boxed easy, maybe 15-25 loose for both but if you are persistent you can get lucky too!
