MisterPL Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 I hope it's grape-flavored. I love grape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 They look like they should at least vibrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you think they got the idea to make it? Seriously though, I don't know what else you would expect from this piece. The petrified "pilot" didn't get up or move or anything. Its just a really cool dio prop and I'm pleasantly surprised DST is making it. Just need Luke or someone to make a display background of the inside of the alien ship and you'll be all set.

I'm just not familiar with it so that's why I was asking. So it's basically just a big accessory. I hope that means that we can get some similar stuff in other lines like a Danger Room for the X-Men or something.

But it shows the possibilities of this new Deluxe category for Minimates. They don't have to be just oversize figures like the Alien Queen or Power Loader.

No moving parts. Just an elaborate stand, kinda like Goblin's glider or Silver Surfer's board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufemizm Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Do we know why it's that color? And is the Dallas figure different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 The different color is meant to represent grape flavoring the lighting of the scene in the film. I believe this Dallas will be different but I'm not sure how. Hopefully he'll have a different expression and accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Dallas has a darker colored suit I believe. Same colors, just darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me the Space Jockey is kind of unique given it's popularity and place in Alien lore; technically it's a diorama piece but that doesn't really do it justice. I don't know that there are many similar things in the other properties DST has, assuming Marvel is off limits. Maybe a Predator Trophy Wall?

MisterPL Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 The Space Jockey reminds of the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the Lawgiver from the Planet of the Apes flicks. Not a lot of play value as much as display value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 This is one of the most thorough series we have gotten, I mean we are getting a lot. Now all we need is a USCSS Nostromo playset or display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'd be happy with a Narcissus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 On reflection so will I ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 A Narcissus would be great. Just gotta keep supporting the deluxes and vehicles that are already coming. If we buy it they'll make more. Seeing the TRU version of the Space Jockey, I can safely say I'm in for both versions. I might get a second of the specialty version just for the Alien attack helmet. And I can't have too many spacesuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Direct link for those keeping an eye on it. It looks great in the photo. Appears to just be painted on damage which looks incredible. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=93088466&cp=2255956&parentPage=search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
