Hahaha,that's about right.
Finally I licence I was excited about,and I fell for the oldest trick in the HT book....the "Coming very soon" scam.

Yeah I think it's reasonable to suppose we'll have that technology by the time Ripley comes out.

I actually liked the neomorph better. It was really creepy.

I'm with you there. The Neomorph interested me more than the Xeno in this film. It's creepy, no faced stare was awesome.

One thing I think I missed.

Spoiler

did they kill both the Neomorphs? I know the captain kills the one David was "taming" but for the life of me I can't recall what happened to the second one...Did they kill it in the field?

No, they only killed the one.

I'm hoping for a neomorph and a David/Walter

 

[Bruisermoore]

With the bad opening weekend box office and confused idiots saying how terrible it is, I highly doubt we'll see anything at all from this film from Hot Toys. If I had my choice, I would want them to produce figures from Alien and Aliens anyway, which I'm sure won't happen either, but here's to hoping.

 

[theuzi9mm]

agreed, the poor showing at the US box office I think will make HT second guess this license. Which means they should just let it go to someone else who WANTS to produce figures from any 'alien' movie.

Covenant still is a solid 7/10 in my book, enjoyable as a stand alone sci-fi movie, but has a total 'spinoff from the main series' feel to it when you string it together with Alien hence it's C level grade with me. I personally don't like the direction Scott is taking the whole 'lore' but that's a different argument!

 

[slikkerias]

The movie already earned itself in and isn't really doing poorly. Depending on what you compare it to. Prometheus did really well and it can't get up there, but it's still doing ok.
I personally don't take it personally and I feel like every single Alien movie has had its own direction, so I'm ok with this. Scott, as the creator, can go wherever he pleases with this and I'll be interested to see where it goes.

The original screening last year had a "showdown" between the Neomorph and the Xenomorph as the humans were making their escape from the Engineer temple.
Not really a showdown as the Neomorph ended up being shot, but it's something to hope for in the Blu Ray release.

It was still alive.

I could have sworn

Spoiler

it had been killed when Walter shoved his hand into its maw

Big things have small beginnings

The David and Walter interaction was one of the strongest scenes. Curb your issues.

Spoiler

This. It was the only reason to watch the film - the showdown between the two, and the revelation that preceded it.

The first half was like a repeat of Prometheus, and the final act was completely predictable.

Of course they do,it's a safe place to complain and have a mass b*tch session,yet they will all buy it on blu ray and show up to the next film,life's to short to go into that thread

Yep, those same people will flock to the next one just to see how bad it is. All that matters to the studio is the number of tickets sold.Love it or hate it doesn't matter as long as people spend the money to watch it.

 

[benconallin]

Exactely!! And if HT are planning on releasing this figure based on box office takings,make it a limited amount,cap it off at a certain number,Winter Soldier tooks heaps of money,yet I still see Strike suit Cap sitting on shelves gathering dust and Civil War has been and gone,not to mention Hulks,Hulks in every collectable shop I go into

I'm citing user name "El_Diablo" from over at AVP GALAXY.
Apparently he was invited by Fox to the initial screening. He also lists a bunch of other deleted scenes.

I see that HT's preview says "1/6 Collectible Figure" (singular) and not "figures" like they did with Prometheus. At least this will be less of a lie if they don't make it.

 

[guyver1]

Will anyone be interested in a HT white alien from this film

 

[benconallin]

Hell yes I would be guyver1!! That's what I most want them to make
