What happen to HT ALIEN Dallas + Kane?

[icruise]

They're not going to cancel. I'm sure these will sell just fine. There are a lot of Alien collectors in Japan, for example.

Well, you can count me in the list of people who just ordered these two. I put my preorder in a week ago. I may pick up two of each now that I know some have cancelled. I am only interested in the first Alien and first Predator movie collectibles. They were the original, and best, so for Hot Toys to cancel the collectibles from these two movies is stupid IMO.

Totally agree, if HT decides to cancel the P1 line figures i will never forgive them and won't buy from them anymore.

even if they put out just the predator figure without dutch and the gang?????......i have yet to date buy any pred figs, waiting on the p1 version. i can live without dutch, already got him

 

[uscmhicks]

I'm definitely still waiting for these figures. I paid for them months ago.
They have to be some o fmy most wanted figures ever , I always thought the suits designs were awesome , when I seen the figures I freaked out !.
When I seen they lit up I freaked out even more , when I seen the bases I did something I won't mention !


These figures rock ! And I can't wait !

YES, been waiting sooooo long for a Dutch fig. I already have the 1:1 predator bust so the crew is even more important to me than the pred. Please HT don't let me wait in vain!

yes they do need to straiten that mess out dont they. dutch & billy....... & dallas & kane & darth vader & stormtroopers & iron man & mall santa & street prophet & obiwan & indiana & cobra cmdr & snake eyes are what im looking forward to.........
seriously though.........i still cannot believe that the p1 has not been released. i can understand the whole licensing issue with awnuld and it maybe hanging up there but crap.........there should be no issue with the original bad ass mofo pred.

I'm still very much interested in these figures. Seems like they're taking forever to come out. My only worry, as is quite prevalent on this board at the moment ever since that ED-209 thread, is about deterioration. I just find it hard to fathom such expensive, not easily replaceable items breaking down. I don't want to think about it happening in my lifetime let alone a few years.

 

[Dutch]

I don't see why people would cancel these figures for Batman All the Alien fan's a still gonna get these.

 

[mr.thrifty]

I'm still on board and I'm not going anywhere.

and Pjam there marked...{ "These figures will become the next Hicks. Mark my words" }

 

[abake]

I've no interest in Batman figures and I am a huge fan of Alien, so no cancellations from me.
But I am a bit disappointed in HT's policy of not doing accurate alien figures (meaning the aliens themselves). I don't plan on getting the A3 alien for instance, but I'm hoping for a nice Giger alien...

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Apprantly they've been delayed because HT are trying to improve the plastic there using for the spacesuit, so ive been told by the seller im getting them from.

 

[creecher]

I don't think there will be an over supply of these through cancellations either. Most pre-orders are paid in advance, so cancellations are probably more something collectors that order through companies like Sideshow or Toys2 are able to take advantage of. I think Hot Toys are rather shrewd using these prepaid preorders to hit the mark on where their profit margin kicks in. All sales after that are pure gravy for them. Also I think excitement hasn't waned, it's just on hold till these hit. I'm looking forward to Kane arriving in due course.

 

[Space Jockey]

Sure hope they do carry on the Alien line after Dallas and Kane... I still have mine on preorder and I'm really looking forward to them. Put it this way, if HT/SS can release figures based on a videogame (Resident Evil 2) of a couple of characters (chainsaw guy and Jack Krauser), and the chainsaw guy wasn't in the game for even 2 minutes, and they still sell out, then they aren't going to cancel the Alien line.

Though it sucks we have to wait, everyone knows as time passes the Hot Toys figures are becoming better quality with better sculpts (though at times they still have their faults), and that, twinned with waiting until the Batman movie comes and goes, is more likely why we haven't heard anything. Come September I'm sure they'll be more interest and as S/S confirm the headsculpts are the ones they'll be using, the preorders and interest will fire up again.

Tell that to the people waiting for Barbosa from the POTC line.

POTC is in the same vain as videogame figures, both contemporary crap in my opinion. Not to be compared with fig lines from classic films.

 

[Darklord Dave]

In the new HT newsletter - seems that Skerritt granted likeness rights and Hurt didn't. Hope they don't just do with the broken mask version.

 

[darren1228]

Beat me to it Dave! Here is a bigger pic. Apparently Dallas will be released first with Kane just around the corner. I guess Kane likeness isn't as important considering that most people will display the facehugger sculpt.

Production

Original Prototype

I like the original expression better (seems a little more determined and intense) but I still think the Skerritt likeness is great on the production sculpt. Could just be the angle though.....

do we know for sure that Kane has not granted likeness? or are we just assuming that based on them not releasing pics of him yet?

 

[uscmhicks]

I think that sculpt rocks !
I'm not disappointed at all !

 

[Zoolander]

do we know for sure that Kane has not granted likeness?

sorry but that made me laugh
