Damn that is interesting news. Randy hasn't mentioned anything about this yet over on twitter or instagram so maybe he said this and just hopes people forget about it so they don't keep pestering him lol I admit though having a Vickers and Shaw would be awesome. I still hope in some way they bring Vickers back somehow. Maybe she was a droid after all.

Nah, Randy always reveals / hints at future stuff that he's looking into that may or may not happen when he's in interviews, that's why I always listen / watch them.

Also Shaw & Vickers are at the top of Randy's list for best unmade figures, they have have had money spent on them and were fully sculpted, so all this considered if Randy does get a chance to release them I'm sure he will. The Fans Want It!

Tweet: Randy, what's your personal biggest upset of product that fell through. Mine is Sweeney Todd, would have been killer!

Randy: hmmm, they all sting. The Ring, O Ren, Xerxes, Shaw & Vickers, and most of all Classic Apes



Unfortunately Vickers clearly died in the movie.
 
Talking of QC issues my replacement Grey Dog Alien and bald Ripley have arrived, and apart from a moulding spur on Ripley's head they're pretty much perfect. In fact I'd go as far to say that the grey Dog Alien is the definitve version. The paint application is superb and really "Gigeresque". Hats off to Forbidden Planet once again, as the amount of QC issues I've had with NECA means that I've had to have so many replacements it's mind-boggling. I'm now just waitig on the third replacement brown dog Alien, hopefully it will be third time lucky. I honestly think that NECA make some of the coolest collectibles out there, and have some of the most talented artists working for them in the industry. I would be happy to pay more for their products if they would sort out thir QC issues. As I have to buy over the internet it would be so nice to be able to buy with confidence.


Careful! Never tell a company that your willing to pay more for any product.Companies will charge whatever the market will bare and if said market is willing to pay even more........

They might just start charging more and never 'actually' improve anything!:slap
 
The prototype of Shaw looked so great, it was seriously bummed that she didn't get made. This news though gives me hope.
 
I just found these Extreme Sets backdrops up for PO on BBTS. I had never heard of the company. For $40 they are modular and large (126" W x 12" H) and look pretty good. The specs say they are compatible with 6" figures but would probably look good with 1/10 scale figures as well.


This one would make a decent, generic Aliens Ops background:

One of a sewer that could work with Alien 3 figures:

Does kinda look like a different head, hair looks flatter? Mouth sculpted open?

And the tweet says ''everyone worldwide'' will be able to get Newt. This sounds good.
 
I am really glad that we are getting Newt but I don't need another Rambo Ripley, even with a different head. Give us leather jacket Ripley already...
 
NECA played this smart. Gauge interest on Newt by doing a small exclusive run, and once demand was identified and at peak levels, release her and Ripley as a 2 pack

IMHO, plan B looks to have been in the works for a while, but still want Ripley in leather jacket
