MUUK76 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thought I'd start this for discussion of the forthcoming series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'd have gone with "Aliens Series 2" myself but that's just me. I think I'm looking forward to the Flaming Alien the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I know it's not respectful to our gay brothers and sisters but every time I hear "flaming Alien", I picture a pink effeminate Xenomorph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 To me it just means flamboyant. And the Flaming Alien is certainly the most flamboyant one yet. It should come with a light-up stand. Maybe a disco ball. (Actually I'd be happy if it just lit up inder black light.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I feel like, going by the naming conventions of the movies, this should be Aliens Serieses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'd suggest "Burning Alien" but that brings up an even more questionable connotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squonk Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If a Flaming Alien and an undead human love each other very much, but the xenomorph has a social disease, is that how you wind up with a Burning Zombie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyTrev Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) NICE!!!!!!! What about TRU? I thought Hudson and Vasquez were gonna be there. Edited May 20, 2015 by NerdyTrev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 They will be, with Hicks and Series 1 Ripley, all with various Aliens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Is that gonna be the only TRU wave then? Since it's the best of both waves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So does this mean there are no exclusive figures at TRU? (or are the aliens going to be exclusive versions?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailtotheking Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I wonder where Bishop falls now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'd say TRU 2 is: Series 2 Ripley/Xeno Bishop/Xeno Gorman/Xeno Ferro/Xeno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm...confused. So, Hudson and Vasquez are in TRU 1 and Specialty Series 2? There aren't any exclusive figures in the TRU assortment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes, TRU will get a best-of. Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez, Ripley, each with an Alien. They may get Hudson and Vasquez first, though, as it will most likely hit before Series 2. No word on a TRU 2. I can't keep track of all of the various aliens (open mouth, closed mouth, tongue out, battle-damaged), but a couple of the Aliens MAY be exclusive, I need to double-check.

Mysterious Stranger Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) So to recap... Series 1 - Hicks/Ripley, Apone/Alien, Drake/Alien, Dietrich/Colonist TRU Series 1 - Hicks/Alien, Ripley/Alien, Vasquez/Alien, Hudson/Alien Series 2 - Jacket Ripley/Newt, Vasquez/Hudson, Frost/Alien, Crowe/Alien That leaves Gorman, Ferro and Bishop for Series 3 and dare we hope, hypersleep underpants Ripley? I'm okay with waiting for Hudson and Vasquez in Series 2.Not having to track those two down at TRU relieves my collecting stress. I have 2 full cases of the dump case Aliens, plus 2 of Series 1 Aliens. IF any of the TRU Aliens are exclusive I'm sure I won't have any problem picking them up individually. Hudson looks like he's wearing his "game over" face, which I LOVE. Vazquez looks as tough as she should. Crowe and Frost I'm sure look right though I only remember Frost from the cornbread scene. Newt's face looks a little too cartoony than I care for. I think they're going for the "mostly come out at night, mostly" face but it doesn't work in this picture. At least it looks like she still comes with her doll head accessory so that's good. Do we have an ETA on Series 2 yet? Is it being solicited in the new Previews?

DSTZach Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes, I thought ToyNewsI would have given a little bit more info. It'll be in the new Previews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUUK76 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Series 2 - Ripley in Jacket and Newt, Vasquez and Hudson, Frost and Alien, Crowe and Alien with Alien egg's (shortpacked). Getting a full wave might be a potential problem in the making due to the shortpacked Crowe. Aliens Series Three to get Gorman, Ferro and Bishop ?. I'm happy that Vasquez and Hudson are in the second series and not just Toys R Us exclusives as I'm from the UK. Be interested to see Toys R Us series to see what exactly the differences in the appearances of the characters will be.

Roccothegreat Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 im glad, TRU waves are the only time i collect minimates, i usually have tru gift cards and i can price match their online prices. comic shops near me either dont'sell minimates or charge like 15 for a2 pack if they do get them in ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Characters will look the same in both assortments, Aliens aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 dare we hope, hypersleep underpants Ripley? I'll be in my bunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So we know there's a half Bishop with the queen (or is it the powerloader?) Is it possible, we'll get legs and an alternate (not bleeding white) face with that Bishop to give us a normal one? Perhaps he won't be in any figure waves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 That might be pushing it on the parts for the Deluxe Queen set. Plus they'd have to do a normal torso too since ripped Bishop's shirt gets all messy. But I don't think its going to happen. I think Zach said a regular Bishop would be coming later on.

MisterPL Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 As I recall, a regular Bishop will be coming later. The damaged one comes with the Queen and an accessory to make him look impaled on her tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
