ALIENS THE OFFICIAL MOVIE THREAD

[pjam]

I got an email response from Toys2, they're expecting them around this Friday!!!



Placed my order with them this morning. It's almost here boys!!!

Awesome news MF, I knew T2 would be getting them soon, but Friday, that's insane, you should have this thing in hand next week. How cool is that?

And I can't think of anyone better to be the first SSF to show this off. If we don't have many pics by then from other boards please take some shots of the packaging, fig in box, etc. too.

Oh he'll most certainly get the full photo treatment. In fact, I'm going to work more on the figure backdrop for you guys tonight and once the warrior comes, I'll have them "coming out of the walls man."

Cool dude, I look forward to see your photos of the Aliens Warrior. Id love to see the diorama your working on too, been thinking of making one myself too

I wont be buying the Aliens Warrior for a while now since I went for the Hicks figure instead. The replacement heads I will be getting for my marines will have blown my budget for the next few months lol

It's actually not a diorama, just a high resolution picture that can be printed and put up behind the figures. When it's done, I'll have single page sized files so people can build it. I'm hopefully going to have a Hicks in the not too distant future, which will be nice to have a him to go on a bug hunt.

Ah, funny you should mention Hicks... Perhaps you felt a ripple in the force? Check your email box my friend, you gots mail!

And I'm seriously interested in some of your high res screens, too. Especially now that the BUGS are on the way, and hopefully before the end of the year... the Robot Sentries!!!

OK gang, looking for feedback on this, but as far as my ideas to create this thing, this is the Aliens Backdrop completed, the actual file is 36 inches wide by 18 inches tall. If this looks good to people I'll make the printable files available so you guys can make it.

Feedback, you say?

Is the Hot Toys Alien Warrior out yet? It seems that Toys2 and a HK Ebay seller has them instock now. Are there any pictures floating around of the Alien Warrior outside the package?

Any idea when Sideshow will get theres in?

Sweet job. Excellent backdrop potential!

 

[JediMike71]

Wow, Maulfan I love that backdrop concept! It would work out perfectly as a backdrop behind some custom shelves that Cocoboloboy is going to make fom my Hot Toys marines! You got my feedback, a "thumbs-up" from me! I look forward to seeing the printable ones. I know I'll be downloading them to complement my marines!

By the way guys one of the Cinemax channels is showing ALIENS now. It's the theatrical cut, and in full-screen, but I don't care. I'm watching it as I type this. I just couldn't help it!

 

[JediMike71]

Anyone have an idea of what figure I should use to make a custom Newt to go with Ripley? Figuremasterles made a great one, of course. But I don't recall what existing child Barbie-type of figure he used? Anyone have any ideas for a figure that's about the age Newt was? I am guessing around the age of my daughter, about 7 or 8 years-old. Any help guys would be great! I appreciate it! Hot Toys should have made a Newt boxed up with Ripley. Man, that woulda been so nice! Thanks guys!

I was curious about this. On the front of Vasquez's chest armor it reads "El Riesgo Siempre Vive". I don't know Spanish, and was wondering what that meant in English. Anyone out there know Spanish, and can tell me? Let me know. Thanks!

 

[Stendec]

Maulfan, that backdrop looks cool and a really great size!

If you dont mind some constructive criticism, Id suggest breaking up the symmetry of the image because it seems you mirrored one side onto the other.

"El Riesgo Siempre Vive" means "The Risk Always Lives".

Looks pretty good to me MaulFan!
JediMike , try and find a Mego or failing that , one of the recent Marvel "Famous Covers" from Toybiz , though I'm not sure what you'd use for a head!

Awesome backdrop MaulFan!

Thanks Batty.

Man, I hope to get a shipping notice from Toys2 this weekend, I'm so psyched about this figure ROCK ON HT!!!

 

[Stendec]

Thanks for the link batty

I am very impressed by the new Alien figure, it looks awesome!!

At 16 inches tall it must lllok very impressive in perosn. The paint job is very nice too, I love the highlighting of the detail.

Has it changed at all from the prototype version and is it any more accurate?

Peronally I dont know much about the intricate details of the costume and how they differed in each movie. All I can say is that it looks like the Aliens warrior and thats all I care about . .cant wait to get one someday.

Batty Rocks. All the time. Thanks bro...
