Prowlar Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 RE: marketing R rated material to kids You guys know about the abandoned Operation: Aliens cartoon that the Kenner toyline was based on? I hope the Aliens stuff gets here soon, I look forward to having SHIELD fighting some xenomorphs on my office desk. The toy release likely had to do with the fact that around that same time both Alien and Aliens were sanitized and shown on TV. That is how I first watched them.

cdubya Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Face it, you parasites are always on the attack. I suggest a group hug before someone gets Hurt. No one need slink-away into the shadows with their tail between the legs. "Maybe we can build a fire, sing a couple of songs!" -buttrobshantbejoiningyousmate I try to help and here you come to Drake the coals for an all-out flame-war! Suit yourself, but I just can't handle the pressure or Gor, man. My apologies for coming-off like a Queen or Bishop.

MisterPL Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I just came across these behind-the-scenes images from Alien. Very cool stuff and some great reference material. https://imgur.com/a/VWsI3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm sending these off to a very discerning member who is just not prepared to wait in hope. OK .....we know I'm not the best photographer but I think these do the trick . The 'loader is definitely compatible as is the Queen & the eggs , the other MFs aren't too shabby either . I have.....er...... more & if anybody is interested in buying one PLMK ...........forget the ridiculous ebay prices but nope I'm not giving them away.

Onyx_6 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I got those a little after we heard DST had the Aliens liscense. I am very happy with them as far as scale goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Wasn't totally sure where this should go... so imma leave it here.... http://geektyrant.com/news/alien-egg-chamber-reaction-playset-comic-con-2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBMM1 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'll be trying to buy one at SDCC. There are only 250 though so my chances are slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 yeah - 250 is a small run.... i'm wondering how much they're gone be too :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBMM1 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 It's $100 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross-Junkie Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I know all the reaction stuff that my local B&N got in, they haven't sold a single figure, and they've had them for atleast a month and a half... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 yeah - to be honest, i wasn't super impressed with the figures themselves..... but i thought the playlet might be fun for Minimates. xDon't know if i'm willing to pay $100 for it though :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 The con might be a test market to see how fast it sells. (I hear manufacturers do that sometimes.) If it does well, maybe they'll offer more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 It definitely looks kinda cool but I wouldn't want to pay more than $20 - $30 for something like that (unless it's actually a lot bigger than it looks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 it looks like it may just be plastic with a paper cardboard backdrop. not worth $100 at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterSoldier Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah, though I don't think the Micro Machines were based on the ill-fated cartoon. And we also had Predator toys released around the same time I believe. I was aware of the Kenner line being based on the cartoon (which is still an odd move, kinda like "Silence of the Lambs: The Animated Series!") but Galoob's line was definitely based on the films. Yeah, Micro Machines were very much doing their stuff based on the films. For Aliens, Predator, and Terminator 2. I remember the Micro Machines playset based on "Alien" that had a little toggle lever to have a chestburster shoot out of Kane. Heh. Kenner had the conceptualized 'toon in mind for their line, it was cancelled but the product was complete, so they shipped it out and as it progressed tried to make it tie in more to the movie. When the marines failed sell well at retail, Predator was introduced as a supplementary line to replace the marines. I collect the hell out of the Kenner Aliens/Predator line.

Gregio Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I would like to hear from Zach if there's any chance to see an Alien Queen made! I know it needs a lot of new tools but it would be really awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
