Mattallica Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 well realistically, when they removed his helmet to examine him they could have cut the hood off, like an ER doc would do to clothing near a wound, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose one could argue the facehugger pushed it off while raping Kane's face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If I'm not mistaken, when the facehugger attaches itself initially, there is a melting sound effect playing signifying the usage of acid to get its way to Kane's face. Also, I'm remembering a scene where Ash and Dallas literally pry the helmet off of Kane, spliting it in two vertically down the middle. Maybe I'm just trying to make sense of it.

MisterPL Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Yes, the helmet isn't "broken" by the facehugger, it was melted. (Which begs the question; How is Kane's face unscarred?) In the medical bay, Ash and Dallas remove Kane's helmet by cutting it in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I meant the MM helmet is broken by having the window melted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Spider Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So this will be borderline relevant info for this thread... I watched Prometheus the other day, it's the first alien movie I have ever watched. I thought it was prettyyy good. It definitely had me invested as far as story and everything. Kostis, you'll be happy to know I thought Fassbender was good at making me dislike him in this movie, haha. As far as minimates go do you think we're gonna get covenant mates? Is covenant a continuation of Prometheus? Can we get 3" or 4" engineer mates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not the best foray into the Alien world, but eh, it works. Just make sure you see Alin & Aliens some time. As for Covenant, Zach mentioned a "license extension" so it could be. PS: I was so excited about this line, but they all came out too fast. I missed the first two waves and now I don't see the point of getting back in. Which is a shame, since it's great.

As I recall, DST said Prometheus is not part of the license agreement. Alien: Covenant is definitely a sequel to Prometheus so if there's a line extension for Alien, DST will probably get both prequels. As for taller Engineers, DST seems unwilling to use taller bodies. Once upon a time they said the toolings for those bodies were lost or broken. More often I've read of Chuck's desire to keep Minimates at the 2-inch size, no doubt to take advantage of existing toolings for accessories and add-ons. It's too bad because the 2.5" body would probably be perfect for Engineers but if you're looking for a 4" version, maybe we'll get a Vinimate.

Mysterious Stranger Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Engineers, if they happen, would most likely just use torso extensions like Groot. Maybe with a larger torso cap and the bulky arm add ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Watched Aliens again with a bunch of friends the other night. I really hope we get the dropship, because Ferro's really the only character we're still missing (not counting Newt's parents or nameless bureaucrats 1-6).

TENIME_art Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I just picked up the TRU APC finally the morning after the movie party, and I've had the specialty jockey in my PoL since it dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Ferro with dropship #1 and clean Bishop with dropship #2. And I'm down for as many as I can afford. I've wanted a dropship toy for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
