Nervous Rex Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Is it crazy that the biggest thing I'm excited for from everything shown, is the web gear on Ripley is wearing? It is the perfect piece for me to use for Flint, from G.I. Joe. Not kidding either, as I was never the biggest Alien, or Aliens fan growing up. I was more about Predator. All that aside, I think these look awesome! I'll probably be picking up a few, but man, I cant wait for that web gear, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) So is the Dump Case the "first offering" of Aliens mates? Because, that means we will have to wait forever to get these! Spring/Summer for the dump, later for everything else. I can't wait!!!! These look amazing! EDIT: Some questions: 1) Zach, did you find out about the Alien foot pegs? 2) Is the inner jaw removable on the open-mouthed Aliens? 3) Do you think there will be a "crawling" Alien with a tweaked head/chest sculpt to allow the Alien to look forward while on all fours? Or is this possible with the current design? Edited January 19, 2014 by Onyx_6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I just realized this means John Hurt minimate! Incoming War Doctor custom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'm so psyched for this line, dammit take all my money!!! I have a question for everyone, I know I will be army-building the Xenomorphs, but if they release a smooth headed Xenomorph like the first one from Alien, would that make a difference to you? I prefer the smoother look overall but not enough to quibble about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I would enjoy having a smooth head Xeno, but I can deal with either version, I just want XenoMates! I'd also like for them to be able to be on all fours with properly positioned heads....so tired of all my Aliens toys looking at the floors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 .....on all fours with properly positioned heads...... I think many of us would agree.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe we will have anything sooner. But we'll see, each item develops at its own pace. EDIT: Some questions: 1) Zach, did you find out about the Alien foot pegs? 2) Is the inner jaw removable on the open-mouthed Aliens? 3) Do you think there will be a "crawling" Alien with a tweaked head/chest sculpt to allow the Alien to look forward while on all fours? Or is this possible with the current design? 1. Never got a definitive, "Yes, we will make sure the feet match the peg," but I can post the control art, which shows standard foot peg on the base and a fairly wide Alien foot. 2. By inner Jaw, do you mean the tongue? I do not believe the tongues will be removable. We're making open-mouth AND tongue-displaying versions, and I have not seen that that is removable part. It would be very small. 3. I do not think the current figure can be modified for that kind of usage, but I will ask, and Ask DST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thank you for the details, Zach. Regarding the release, I was expecting a Ripley in the first release, possibly a con-exclusive 2-pack or 4-pack. And, yes, I was hoping that there would be something available in the next few months (C2E2 ), not Summer. These look too awesome to wait for, but they also look to be worth the wait.

MrClean Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I don't know how expansive the license is, but has any future thought been given to "Kenner-izing" some Aliens down the road? I know I've already got my extra Battle Beasts Spiders and Scorpions to make some hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilbofett Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) The only fat kid that SHOULD be made fun of is the 1 ton kid.( actually no, we should club his mother for letting it get to that point).

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I bullied a tubby kid in cub scouts once. I didn't even know I was doing it at the time. I've always felt really awful about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rx78jj Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 $71.88. Not bad. The wife is gonna be mad. But anyways, awesome mates and I gotta say, I was hoping to get the more obscure characters and its like they were reading my mind. Now we need Hudson, Frost, Crowe and Ferro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Like three pages back. Pretty sure that's the price, using my rudimentary math. 5.99 X 12. And I don't know how my joke about female Minimates not selling (I know we all want them, especially TM2) turned to bullying the overweight, but as far as I know we're hoping to make all of the women I'm the movie eventually.

Newt's mom, the nurse when Ripley is awoken after being found, and the datascreen version of Ripley's daughter who died an old women while Ripley was floating in space? Deep!

youbastards Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ripley's daughter, Amanda Ripley, is the main character of the upcoming ALIEN: Isolation survival horror game. I was skeptical after the Colonial Marines disaster Gearbox made, but the new game looks very good, and has the design and atmosphere of the original ALIEN movie. Only one ALIEN in the game, too. Hopefully we'll finally get a great game from the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
