A couple new, or sort of new #alien offers going out to retailers tomorrow for end of year availability. Any guesses?

Alien 3 creature pack?
Hicks/Hudson re-release?

You asked, we listened. Bringing them back in a 2 pack. #Aliens 30th anniversary celebration continues. Interchangeable heads too!

i might even get that 2pack if they were as beautifully made as Vasquez. i'd also need Vasquez in that case.

If these don't come with the injected skin tone technique that Vasquez has, then this is a real let down for me.

Pretty good deal if you did not get the original two packs that also came with the battle shot warriors. I did not get those but got the original single packed versions already. I may end up getting at least one set for the screaming faces.

I don't think so, at least not with these. Its a straight up repack. If they ever do 2.0 versions with the new skin colour my guess would be it would happen much later now.

I bought the single Hicks for a so so price off eBay a while back but held off on getting Hudson. Glad that I did. Although I wish that the figures were getting upgraded to injected skin, this two pack will be awesome for people who never got either figure and would make good extra marines and accessories for the ones of us who did.

Didn't they just basically state on Twitter that these will be straight up repacks because they're doing them with injected skin?

*edit*

Such a missed opportunity. This could have been the Ops battle Hicks with the headset. I would have loved a neutral (or dare I hope, cocky grin) Hudson.
A straight re-release is incredibly yawn-worthy. I bought multiples the first time around, I won't be duped into this release. (Unless quality is markedly improved including injected flesh tones )

...where is the missed opportunity? These are for the people who never got the originals and we're bugging them about a re-release. This is not a "yawn-worthy" release, it's a smart "let's listen to the fans and make some money on the process since we don't have to make any new tooling" decision

Randy was asked again about injected flesh tones for the two pack and this is what he said:

currently sampling them in both injected flesh tone and regular to determine method for production

@NECA_TOYS

Hey Randy, awesome news for the Hicks/Hudson two pack. Will they be the same as the originals or get upgraded to injected skin.

 

[Yahzee]

...so they're still considering it

I'll get one for sure if the quality is improved. Good of them to provide both previous headsculpts for each.

 

[Space Jockey]

This is great news, count me in.

Slowly but surely giving in.
