Hot Toys: Prometheus - MOVIE SPOILERS!

[Viking Spawn]

What about the queen on LV426 in Aliens?

I would love that! However, I'm afraid that I and probably many people on this board wouldn't be able to afford it! Unless of course, they have extremely DEEP pockets.

This thing is so creepy

Agreed; Deacon looks awesome.

My spidey sense is telling me we're probably not going to see any Prometheus figures from HT fellas. I just got done watching the movie a third time and the theater was practically empty.

I think HT may let the license lapse on this one. Just a hunch.

On the bright side: I managed to get a loose EX Machina Tereus last night for a relatively cheap price. Planning to use the body to make an Engineer.

I share your sentiments that HT may skip out, and interesting enough, I got a EX Machina Tereus a month ago to be bashed into a generic hero in a 'space suit' - this after all the complaints I have about HT's rubber suits, hope this one will hold up.

no way Hot Toys will skip out on this license. They will at least do David and the Engineer which will be hot sellers. THen after that, I am not sure. But fans of the film or not as long as they are fans of the ALien Universe the Engineer/Space Jockey will be a top seller better than their ridiculous repainted War Machines, sucker punch figures, Noland from Predators etc. I have a hunched they have already sculpted David and the Engineer. we will see a tease at SDCC and the will be available for pre-order in fall. Michael Fassbender is a general fan favorite so it is an obvious no brainer to cash in on

Watched it this past weekend. I left with many questions but I think that's a good thing....

In a nutshell.....

I love what Ridley Scott “the architect” has again achieved. Being the Godfather of the Alien universe, introducing us to the egg, face hugger, chestburster, xenomorph and then watching the studio and directors add their own touch with alien queens/dog alien/new born /Avp etc. He has now returned after 30 years and reset/reboot this universe. Scott is almost saying “You know guys this whole Alien thing is getting old so let’s add some new ingredients to this universe. Here is some black liquid, cobra creatures, giant squids, engineers and protoxenomorphs. I might not know the answers, but lets just go with it”!!

Imagine what will evolve with these creatures over the next 30 years!!!!

Also the term protoxenomorph revering to the alien at the end. This cannot be a proto as the Alien creature existing in 2004 in AVP (and AVP’s back story). So the “Alien” creature exists. When Prometheus first lands on the planet we could see several dome structures is the distance. Perhaps the crew entered the one that housed the liquid. The ship that took off at the end housed the egg!!!

Ridley Scott does not recognize AvP at all, and I agree with him. The real Alien universe is Prometheus, Alien, Aliens, Alien 3....and maybe Alien 4. AvP is irrelevant.

The AVP films are an abomination to the Alien and Predator universe. What a missed opportunity by FOX. They should have hired a talented director and screenplay writers. In fact, they should have made the movie version of the original Dark Hourse AVP comic series. That original series was by far the best avp story. They even could have combined stories with the AVP Duel series that introducted the pred alien and cool marines like Captain Glass. would have been awesome to see colonial marines, aliens, and predators duke it out... but nooo fox killed it

but nooo fox killed it

They did give us Mr. Wolf though.

I don't remember seeing that exact part of the scene in the movie, but if it is there and has indeed been altered...that's unfortunate.

I've only seen it once so I don't remember if it was actually used. But I know they changed it for the previews.

AvP was never cannon.

And I completely agree about the original AvP comic series..those stories were truly amazing. That series, the Kenner figures, and AvP the computer game are what introduced me to the two franchises.


So much potential here.

Ridley Scott and James Cameron should team up and make this movie.

I would have to disagree with him. The "Engineers" of Alien and Predator world is 20th Century Fox and therefore the Predators exist within it. It might not be RS vision but it is 20th Centuries dollars!!!

It is not the directors call....

Bad but funny example.....

If the "Brothers Strauss" said that they did not recognize the Pyramid in AVP....everyone would tell them to go ******* themselves!!!

The Alien versus Predator franchise is entirely separate from the Alien and Predator franchises. It was never cannon to begin with.

Just because it's all FOX doesn't mean it's all connected...that would mean that Terminator, Star Wars, Alien, Predator, The Simpsons, etc would all be part of the same universe...which doesn't make any sense.

Canon is regarded as film only; which is then divided into universes; which is then divided into indiviual films...
