Pics of Hot Toys 1/6 Grid Alien. Are they real???

[Pineapple]

I saw these pics up an asian forum. Are these real??

 

[dekadentdave]

Yes, they are and it looks like this is going to be a Blister (Japan) exclusive. Too bad this wasn't the Sideshow exclusive. I'd take this over the brown one anyday.

 

[Pineapple]

aww man, at least Sideshow has the cooler Ancient Elder Exclusive.

 

[nash]

man they are pumping these things out like theres no tomorrow!

 

[Darth Kustomizer]

Much better than the new exclusive "Brown" Alien! I would have bought the Grid Alien.

 

[KamenGuyver]

It is limited 500 pcs world wide, and 250 out of 500 is blister exclusive.

Blister must be dropping some serious coin for all these exclusives they're getting.

 

[Pineapple]

if half of them are for Blister, who distributes the other half? if its only a Blister Exclusive, how can someone else sell them?

I also saw a preorder on ebay for a blister direct 1/6 batman begins due out in jan. '07. Any clues to what is different?

Got link?

It could be a re-issue.

I noticed that both HT superman and batman indicated (初回限定生産) "first issue limited production" in blister, that could mean if the market demand is high, they can have 2nd or even 3rd issue.

Is there any means to obtain one of these? Is anyone importing them?

 

[figuremaster_les]

This is the one I really wanted from this movie. This is THE ALien character of the film. I guess you can always make one with the existing HT SS one....

I'll get him if I can.

 

[abake]

So the hunt for Grid begins...
I wonder who else will carry the figure?
Maybe the exclusive bit is the Facehugger, but the figure itself will be available through other shops? It is a bit wierd for HT to make the exclusive the most important (alien) character of the movie...

 

[twistedfreak]

If anybody finds a means to get one of these let me and the others know!

 

[abake]

You mean we can't just order it from blister?

I'm not sure... I can't read Japenese or whatever that language is on the site.

If half of the figures are released in Japan, where are the other half going?

 

[KamenGuyver]

The other half should go to other world wide retailers. Maybe Toy2 will also carry them.
