NECA: Alien Movie Franchise Figures

[Jmek]

As fate would have it, my alien took a shelf dive and the dome cracked...
Is anybody looking to sell theirs?
I'm not particular about which version...

Man, I'm really sorry to hear that Abake. I'm not looking to sell mine, however they're still in stock pretty much here in the UK. Are they harder to get hold of where you are?

Randy just met up with Bob Burns in LA to get more reference for future figures.

That's very cool. Hopefully to look at Drake's armor.

Btw, I found Vasquez and Frost at Toysrus yesterday. I will echo everyone's thoughts that Vasquez is far superior to Hicks and Hudson! I'm not so sure about Frost though (haven't opened them up yet though). The paint on Frost's face is bland and his eyes are very plain. His skin is not cast in a dark translucent plastic. Still nice to have him. I just need Drake now to feel complete. After that, Gorman, Spunkmeyer, etc will be gravy.

Frost's screen appearance was really limited. All his lines together don't go over 1 min. and only one's memorable ("What the hell are we supposed to use man, harsh language?"). His head sculpt looks caricaturish to me. Between this and the painted skin, I think I'll pass. I would go for Drake or Apone, maybe even Gorman though.

He must be the luckiest guy on Earth. Absolutely amazing.

I have a few McFarlane aliens which I'm willing to part with if you're interested but I'm located in Europe, so shipping might be a little pricey.

Yeah, collectibles aren't too big down here...
I'm scoring eBay for a decent deal. Hopefully I'll find something!

Not gonna lie, my heart leapt at the dropship and sulaco mentioned. Not that I hope neca make a dropship or anything like that............

Maybe that is why he is not as given much thought as Vaz has had. I am not saying neca did not care for Frost, but out of the two of them Vaz was always going to be the one that they would drop the bulk of their budget on.

Let's hope they do the same for Drake then. He is a must!

Can someone show me a clear no darkened background of the correct way that Vasquez SG should look with the hoses in the right direction, I'm a bit confused on what you guys are saying is the proper way to connect the belt to the SG

Please I don't want a pic with a specific detoif or scenery shot because I won't be able to tell. I'm looking for clear pics of her holding the SG with the belt in the proper direction .

Sorry to be picky, I just want to make sure I have mine on right

I'll get a pic tonight if you don't get one before that.

Basically the "battery" should be hanging under the gun (the front) and the two cables glued together should be the "back" and tucked up under the breastplate. This should all flow in a continues line with plenty of 'slack' in the lines.

Some of the packaging has the arm switching backwards so that the wires have to criss cross to reach their destinations and it is too tight with not enough room to pose at all, let alone enough to get accurate 'slack'.

I got my shipment confirmation for the TRU gitd thermal vision alien today but now its not on the TRU site. Did this thing already sell out or is it just another TRU.com glitch?

 

[a-dev]

**** it, I'm going to open up my SDCC Newt. I paid $90+ shipped for it and with the 2 pack coming out I can't see how it would increase in value by a worthwhile amount beyond that just for a few accessories, if it increases in value at all.

Well I guess hell has frozen over You were so dead set on not opening it before

 

[jye4ever]

Don't open it a-dev, it will be worth $150 in 25 years and will be priceless in 5,000 years!

 

[theuzi9mm]

no there is a secret '57 years' promo. if you manage to keep it sealed until 2043 (57 yrs after Aliens was released) the secret clause is that NECA will buy it back from you for 57x original retail cost.....HOWEVER if you don't sell it in 2043 and manage to keep it till 2073 (57 yrs from today), the value will be precisely $57 dollars... 57 is a new universal paradox number....

Not to mention, how his character died. Wasn't even by an Alien either. Torched by the medic. Just awful

 

[Staps1138]

What's all the Frost hate about. Cool character, great one liners and a figure I never thought we'd get. The paint could be better and judging by the 3 I have there is one that is perfect and the other two are slightly less than perfect but still really nice.

I will personally take everything from Aliens they make and for them to go this deep into the line is pretty impressive. I hope we get more but I don't think we'll get much more.
