MisterPL Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 They're out! I don't have them yet but they're out! Here are some solicitation images to hold us over until someone else shares pics of their own (subtle hint): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 A question for those who have it: Does the Attacking Battle-Damaged Alien have the same blood tampo as the single pack version from the dump case? Because I like variety. (Hail Ivan!) The solicitation image for Series 1 makes the tampo look identical. I wasn't sure if there would be a change.

Yes, the BD attacking alien warrior from wave 1 has the exact same blood tampos in the exact same spots as the one from the dump case. I just compared the one in my hand to the one at the MMDB.

Nervous Rex Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Realizing that Ripley's vest could work for a Flint custom. Sheeeeet, homeslice, I been planning that from the second I saw it. I think I even said somewhere the only thing I want from this line is those straps! Can't wait to get it, unless someone wants to give me one :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Considering the regular cases will have 4 of the Ripley packs, she will be re-released at Toys R Us, and presumably also with the Power Loader (where I think she was also wearing that web gear), I'm guessing these will be pretty easy to pick up on the secondary market.

EricM Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I wish they could reuse that Max police vehicle they had and re-purpose it as the colonial marine apc just add a cannon on top. I know its not exactly the same but it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I rewatched Aliens last night for the first time in a year or so. I found myself focusing more on the obscure Marines than before, largely due to the Minimates. Some of the poor schmucks got almost no screen time at all.

MisterPL Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 I was just checking out the cast list on IMDb. Aliens certainly has a bigger cast than the first flick but it's not Star Trek huge. There's opportunity for variants (like the ones we're getting of Ripley and Bishop) but there were a couple characters on the list I doubt we'll see. In fact, with the characters included in the TRU series, we're already getting over half the cast. If DST wants to stretch this out, they'll have to dig into the other two films and finish the first.

MINI_MYTE Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I was just checking out the cast list on IMDb. Aliens certainly has a bigger cast than the first flick but it's not Star Trek huge.

In fact, with the characters included in the TRU series, we're already getting over half the cast. If DST wants to stretch this out, they'll have to dig into the other two films and finish the first. I was wondering who will comprise the second wave and this is my guess. Now let's assume wave 2 will be similar to wave 1 (8 different characters). So far we have seen prototypes for Landing Party Ripley (with leather jacket), Newt, Frost and flaming xenomorph. Now let's assume for argument sake those are paired up together. That's half the wave there. Four slots left. Vasquez and Hudson have been confirmed for a TRU wave, so they are out. Another Ripley will come with the power loader and a BD Bishop will come with the Queen (if rumours are correct). That leaves Gorman, Ferro and Bishop (non BD). Pair Gorman with Bishop and Ferro with another xenomorph (jaw openned with no tongue) and there is a very plausible wave 2 IMO. Anybody else care to weigh in?

arnim zola Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I just watched aliens 3 last night and other than maybe a boxset with Ripley, bishop, Charles dance, and the dog alien, this movie I don't see doing well for minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else care to weigh in?There are a couple of minor outfit variants. Gorman in his dress uniform trying to recruit Ripley, Burke with his wacky suit from his first couple of appearances, and Ripley obviously with the jacket from when she first arrives on the planet could all make for some cool Minimates.

NerdyTrev Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I really want Vasquez and Gorman to be paired together to make the perfect: That is one of my favorite parts of the whole movie! Edited March 6, 2015 by NerdyTrev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Zach already confirmed in reply to one of my previous posts that series 2 would be comprised of Bishop, Newt, Frost, Crowe, and another Ripley and that there'd likely be another TRU wave. By my count that only leaves Ferro and Gorman (amongst Xeno variants like incinerated Alien) to be made from Aliens. It's safe to say that we'll get the full cast if Spunkmeyer and Crowe are done. I'm personally more concerned with completing my Alien cast. Anything beyond that (Alien3, etc.) is gravy IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 My aliens display won't be complete until I get a Van Leuwin and the annoying No Indigenous Life lady two-pack. The sharply dropping IQs have to be represented! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Anybody heard any clues if there will be more 2-packs or if the line will go to boxed sets? I know we've seen a prototype of Newt as well as a blurry photo showing Ripley in the power loader and the Queen. I'm really exited for this line and wanna know more!

Roccothegreat Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 there was also a brown hair ripley that was shown at one of the cons . the face looked like a lot like ripley, but i cant find the pic now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Rocco, that was an early prototype. All future Ripleys will be clothing variations on this one. Aliens will be two packs and Deluxe box sets. ALIEN, should it continue, will be more four-packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
