wow...the new egg and launch-able slap) facehugger are not to scale with the 7" figures!? wtf?! Does anyone actually want an egg and hugger that aren't to scale with the rest of the figures? Seriously...im asking...maybe im just lost. 4.5 inches? guess I gotta go cancel my order at BBTS. I was excited about these things, too.

What the ****? What a weird little toy.

Even if it was 7 inches, it'd still be a waste of money.

 

[GasparZizou]

looks like a fun toy, I guess you can get one at Mcdonalds

Series 2 is a complete waste. Re-releases and repaints of Big Chap and the warrior Alien and some bloke who isn't in the films as a made up Colonial Marine. Pretty disappointing. No Vasquez, no Drake, no Apone, no Ripley, no Newt, no Bishop this year.

 

[GasparZizou]

I know, with the preds it took them like 5 or 6 waves before they started doing all the crazy repaints, it's sooner with the Alien line.

That egg is now a must-buy. Amazing.

 

[vialli]

WTF! I was waiting for Apone... and now the "new" marine. Nice gesture, but definitely it is not a collectible figure

 

[bigbisont]

Is that ejection-action egg 1/6th scale at least? If its just a random egg, I think I'll pass, but hell, I'm open to anything to improve my 1/6th displays.

 

[a-dev]

I'll cancel my order for that egg thing then. No interest if it and the facehugger are not to scale with the figures.

Wasn't the two packs supposed to include eggs? Opened or closed? Could have sworn the prototypes had them.

The article those pics were from said that Neca had finished eggs and facehuggers, but had not decided how to distribute them.

Some speculate they are holding out for the queen. The way things are trending, I wouldnt be surprised to see them as stand alone 'figures' in series 3.

 

[Sith_fire30]

I really hope they don't get lazy with this line early on. Why not include a freakin' egg with every figure they come out with - marine or alien. We eventually want to build a hive right? That would make sense...and I would pay a bit more for the added accessory. This pop up egg gimmick is exactly that - a gimmick. Cool as it is and a fun way to aggravate your kid sister, it's won't sell very well. On a positive note I am thrilled about the generic marine - best to get that guy out early on and focus on core characters the rest of the way. It would be a great idea to do another one down the road - just have to change the head sculpt and skin color if needed. Looking forward to the battle damaged aliens as well. Anyway just me Monday morning quarterbacking from the sidelines...I'm sure NECA has ideas that will make sense...I hope

The Big Chap has new articulation and newly sculpted parts, far from a waste IMO.
A lot of people are into building hives, so a new Aliens xenomorph with the (usually) preferred blue color scheme is a nice plus.
Also, many people love to "army-build", so the new non-descript CM is a nice bonus, plus it's a nice gesture from NECA towards Kyle and his family.

All in all, I'm happy with this series.

 

[Vitus]

I wish I could buy a case of just the different color aliens or the 7" scale eggs

 

[Vitus]

I wonder how that big egg would look next to something 1/4 scale

 

[Joda]

Okay, that egg is officially ridiculous. Easy pass. It's not even to scale?

Bugz? Reverend? I sense egg sales coming...

 

[averagejo]

I ordered a few things this morning, including the alien egg with launching facehugger!

...not.
