stack32 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The trailer for Covenant did look good but with trailers being nearly a science now practically any movie can release a good trailer. I just don't trust Scott much after the last movie, which was just irredeemably dumb. I guess Damon Lindelof didn't write this one so maybe there's some hope. And even a bad movie could have decent creatures, so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 @luke314pi Any chance of a few stickers to go with these? Like a male suit/chest to make Shaw into Prometheus David? Either way, I think I am in for a custom case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roccothegreat Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) SPOILER?? It seems like there was a good movie there & the studio had too much say in it. "Add more pointless horror action scenes! " All that aside boy do I love micheal fassbender as an actor!

stack32 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I don't find the creature designs too interesting but the minimates seem to be good adaptations of them. Is there some benefit to using arms as legs that I'm missing? Seems like if you're going to tool new parts anyway you could just make new legs. The variety between the TRU and LCS releases is nice.

DSTZach Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 You don't have unlimited space for new parts. A steel tool/mold is only so big, and to have to cut into two of them could break the budget for the product line. Also, we try to use the basic MM body parts whenever possible.

stack32 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Are those legs not new anyway? That was more the question, why go with one over the other if it's the same amount of space? It looks fine either way, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Are those Howard the Duck's legs on the Neomorph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 So, @DSTZach, What is the pairing going to be for the LCS release? And are there plans for another wave with more of the crew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) I don't know what's planned for the next Alien MM series. I guess we'll see how these do. Pairings are pretty much as shown (side-by-side), although Tennessee and Shaw each come with the guy in between them. Shaw is one per case, Tennessee is three. Not 100% sure we accurately conveyed relative scale in these group shots, as I think David comes with a chestburster, who might be a little smaller than shown Edited May 20, 2017 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I feel like the actual Aliens minimates have somehow lost that minimates look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 So we're getting Tennessee , Shaw & David. how about that main girl Daniels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Tennessee and Shaw are in the top row. That's Walter, not David, and Daniels in the bottom row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilbofett Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I would buy two sets to get some extra crew face stickers. A chest for Shaw to make some Prometheus male characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKrisLyons Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I've supported every release under the alien minimate banner so far, but I'm sorry to say that with these, I'm out. The movie was really pretty bad and even the "standard" xenomorphs in this wave of figures look way too strange for my taste. Underwhelming from every perspective.

Roccothegreat Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 those look the like final scene space suits. i wish we normal versions of the characters cuz this wave will prob not get a second. ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
