ALIENS THE OFFICIAL MOVIE THREAD

Another pic.

Unless maybe the palms are distinct and just the fingers are posable? maybe? With the style of the creature, there's interesting positions you can have the hands in, but limited with the wired bending, so you mold part of the hand solid and then alow the fingers to bend, we'll know soon enough I suppose.

I think you're right...

btw, T2 is open Sat too I think, maybe they'll start shipping these out tomorrow if not today.

Hand issue I think can be put to rest. With Batty's new images and the box tray picture Facebox posted on page 29, you can see the joint on the hands in Batty's pictures just now, it's so that hand is like bent back towards the forearm in a reaching out to attack type gester, where the other hands have a flat pose with the same kind of wrist joint position as the AVP warrior, so even if the ones in the recent pics aren't bendable, I think the flat ones will be, and they probably did sculpted set because the bendables just can't pose like that naturally, which is fine cuz I actually like those hands the best, adds to the warrior looking like a threatening creature.

As long as one set is bendy, which is the case, I'm cool with it.

 

[MaulFan]

Ya that one, sorry, I have no idea how to get an image address on Windows, only Macintosh.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Those new pictures look great -- very nasty bug!

I'll be curious to see what people say when they have it in hand, particularly those with the other AvP aliens.

 

[MaulFan]

HE'S SHIPPED !!!

 

[pjam]

Awesome new MF! Awesome. When do you think you'll get it?

 

[thundergod]

Sorry if this has already been covered , but I assume it's got the same extendable jaw action as the AvP Warrior?

Don't know, I'll have to check UPS later tonight, there's not info through them at the moment, I'm guessing/hoping by next Friday, though with the 4th of July, don't know what impact that'll have.

I hope this answers your question tg...

 

[thundergod]

Ooops , must have missed that shot !

 

[abake]

I really like the pose on the non-bendy hands!
Looks very good, nice detail on HT's part!

 

[MaulFan]

In celebration of the release of the 1/6 warrior, here's a repost of some snap kits images I took, pretty soon, I'll be able to do this with 1/6 versions of both characters

 

[FACEBOX]

Cool pictures.

I will do the same. I just hope my pictures turn out as cool as yours.


EDIT:
You know. Now that I think of it... Hot Toys has already made a Queen Alien. She's just in the 5" scale. They have "up-scaled" all the rest of their figures, so that leaves the slight possibility that they will do the same with her.

The only bad thing is.... she's the AVP Queen, but she'd be one HUGE 5 0 8!

Got those figs. Pretty sweet. Anyone pick up the Colonial Marines set in the eggs?

Not the full set, but I got Ripley Hicks and the Warrior from the Aliens snap kit series in the eggs, that's what I did the shots above with.

 

[customizerwannabe]

Wow! I didn't look closely enough. They look awesome!:chew I just picked up the Pallisades playset with a bunch on the CM's and Aliens. Think I'm gonna repaint them.

 

[MaulFan]

Wow! I didn't look closely enough. They look awesome!

Ya, I'm blown away by the ammount of articulation and the quality of detail put into such small figures, very impressive, and justifies the price when you think of what you get for a Star Wars figure in the same scale and the price those are.

 

[customizerwannabe]

Yep. Looks like I'm gonna have to break down and order a case from asia.
