[MisterPL]

Thanks to TNI, here's a look at most of the upcoming Minimates from Alien: Covenant.

YESSS Noomi !!

[Shanester]

Is that Shaw?  Must be in the film as a reminiscent scene of some kind.

[MisterPL]

I wonder how many series we can squeeze out of just this film. (I'm trailer-celibate so I have no idea.) It depends on sell-through, of course, but given the army-building nature of the first offering, I don't see a problem getting a second series.

 

I'm guessing from the silhouettes that the variations to the xenomorphs will be tampo'd, not sculpted.

[MisterMiracle]

I'm interested to see what the Xenomorphs end up looking like.

 

Is there a TRU wave for these too?

[Roccothegreat]

we need a james franco mate asap lmao

These look promising. Hopefully DST can imitate what they did for GotG vol. 2 and release these before the movie comes out.

The movie hits May 19th. These are listed on BBTS for release in September.

 

The designs remind me of Mass Effect, which fit in with GotG to me. Heck, even the New Goblin Francomate™ above looks like it wouldn't be entirely out of place.

There is one in the trailer.  Similar to the one in Alien, but a little sleeker with less design, smaller back tubes, smoother features.

[hellpop]

The silhouetted Aliens crack me up.  "Ooh, I wonder who the mystery figures will be!"

[TooNiche]

SWEET! These look great!

I'm thinking those silhouettes might not necessarily be representative of all three of those aliens. Probably just place holder for some. So not necessarily just repaints.

The Shaw space suit is asexual enough to put together a Prometheus crew. Hopefully she's packed with an Alien, this way you can army build two ways.?

[MisterPL]

The piping is different but it's close enough for the ladies:

 

However the boys have noticeably different suits:

Maybe we could get Prometheus mates through a loophole. They made Kyle Reese and final costume terminator from first movie because they appeared in T2. So we could get a review scene ala Aliens showing the crew. Maybe just David,  then a couple of heads swaps.

That sounds like the kind of compromise we offered up when it looked like we'd only get one 4-pack of 'mates from Alien. How about we just get an assortment of Prometheus Minimates instead? 

[Roccothegreat]

the movie can pick up from last movie and they're wearing the same costumes. who knows. 

 

and  i know about that goblin franco mate. but i'm talking about an updated face.

Sounds a bit like my ex-wife but prettier.

[Mysterious Stranger]

Depending on the variation in xenomorphs I might have to get a couple sets of these. Those white spacesuits look great.

[stack32]

Whether I pick up any is going to depend on how the xenomorphs turn out. Prometheus was so bad it pretty much killed any interest in watching this movie so I'm not going to care much about the human characters.

Mine too mate.

Silhouettes are generic, they do not represent creatures. All three have different sculpts.

There will be a TRU wave. 

Regardless of how you felt about Prometheus, the trailer for Covenant is great, and i appreciated seeing the preview scene they released. I liked Prometheus, but I wasn't trying to jive it with other films.

[Nessex]

Damn - I really dug Prometheus. And by all early accounts, even if you didn't, Covenant is said to be the prequel to Aliens that everyone wanted: a tight, 90-ish minute horror/sci-fi/thriller full of action. 
I'm really excited for it. Can't wait to see what DST has cooked up for the BigChaps.

[Roccothegreat]

I loved Prometheus. I also didn't compare it to any other films. I loved the visuals of that film. It's hard to argue it didn't look great. And Shaw/David was badass . 

[Kostisfire]

Prometheus had a nice premise and themes worth exploring. But the idiotic characters, screwed up execution and mess of an "origin story" that may or may not be in the Alien Universe (like, maybe, or like, not, but I guess now it is, 'cause the next one is ALIEN: Covenant?) turned it into a rather average flick. I'm not xpecting Covenant to be better, what with Scott going "no, Prometheus is 1, Covenant is 3, and then we're gonna do a mid-sequel/prequel". Guy's off his rocker... I liked the visual style though, so even if I haven't bought any ALIEN stuff past the Dump, I may get them.
