ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

They really need to stop doing zippers in 1/6 scale. Those zipper pulls are bigger than their noses.

Hudson looks like Hicks!
I'm liking what I see.

Ripley, Hudson and Drake pics.

Batty, what can I say, you just rock bro!

I'll pose Ripley "mostly" with her bomber Jacket on or just in t-shirt so the zipper tabs don't bother me... her sculpt works for me although I think she needs a tweak... Hudson, as expected, will need a new head, hopefully Lonnie over at Frontline has come up with a good alternative. Drake looks fine... Can't wait!

Try echobasetoys, its the DML A-2, it comes in a carded set with jeans and aviator glasses or maybe try ebay or urbansamurai, Dragon A-2 Flight jacket.

Here's the link to echobase, it's the A-2 flight jacket

Yes, Lonnie is doing Ripley and Hudson heads and they should be ready VERY soon... I'm sure someone will post pics on this thread.

Does anyone know if you can remove the rubber body suit from the DRAKE figure? that's just eventually gonna crack and i'd rather just use the base body like HICKS and HUDSON.

Finally some in hand pics!

Do the frontline heads fit perfectly and easily on the Hot Toys body?

Straight from Lonnie @ Frontline:

Not to worry... I will have the replacement available when the figures start to show up state side.

My God those Hudson and Drake sculpts do suck! Obviously HT was trying to get around royalty fees for actor's likenesses here but these are just terrible. Ripley just needs to have darker hair and eyes so shouldn't be too much trouble but Lonnie is gonna make a fortune off the HH sculpts for the others.

Drake looks fine to me, maybe a bit too much like John McGinley, but when he's all done up, he'll be fine IMO. Hudson is a Must.

I see you picked up on that, Dave!

Newt: We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly.

Interesting to see in package pics. But does anyone else think that Ripley is way over priced? I mean she's the same price as all the other Marines and doesn't come with any armor. Apone for instance came with the same pulse rifle, flamethrower, and welding torch and was $85, she's $4 more. They should've offered her for the same price as Rambo II.

 

[pjam]

Well, this is the ONLY Ripley to get and you can still pick her up for like $75 @ Alter Ego with all the outfit detail and weapons, plus she has a screen accurate harness and comes with a one of kind weapon so still not bad...

I say get her now before prices go up when the Pl goes up for P.O.

 

[Reinhardt]

yeah, actually for me, Ripley is the only "human" I'm gonna get... and that only because of the power loader. leaves more money and space for Aliens! (and hopefully predators in the future)

Although, a lot of their armor and clothing are re-used, where her shoes and outfit are unique. Sure she could be cheaper, but I'm fine with $75.

Has this been posted here before? I just found these on Cool Toy Review of the Attakus Aliens Warrior:

Edit: Just checked and this one is incredibly inaccurate, still I like some of the design.

She feels like she doesn't warrant the same price as the Marines, she comes with far less equipment.
I'm getting one, but I do think they're over charging us because of the demand for the character.

 

[abake]

What is it with toy companies that they can't do an accurate figure?

 

[Reinhardt]

talk about taking the artistic license to a whole new level!! what's up with those webbed feet?? Hot Toys all the way for me.

I DO like the Attakus eggs though.
