Axelay Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I need this. It also underscores to me just how much I also need Dillon, Poncho, Billy, Mac, and Blaine. LOL. First world problems! Quote
sh9000 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 It would be cool to have them all. I want the whole cast from Aliens as well. Quote

Seems like it is a Figma exclusive of some kind, not on most sites, found it on NY for 13,200Y, and BBTS has it for a once again, INSANE, $164.99. This seems standard Figma size too, that price is absurd, good luck Figma. Quote

It takes too many liberties with the original Predator 2 costume, making the armor look more like an H.R. Giger illustration. If you're going to design a new Predator, I'm all for it -- sequels, comics, and action figures have been doing it for decades -- but there's no reason to mess with pre-established designs. I think a Figma Predator should be more accurate to the source material, like Takeya's Alien: Why couldn't his Predator be as accurate as his xenomorph? Quote
Mommar Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 I'm not seeing Giger in that Predator design at all. Quote

The abs look utterly ridiculous, they're far too pronounced. The head sculpt itself looks okay, but the face and mouth mandibles look terribly off. I don't like the proportions, he looks too short or squat, and "thick", is the best way I can put it. And I really dislike the armor, too busy, he looks like Aquaman from the new Justice League movie, especially holding his staff. Agreed with tekering, far too many liberties taken to call this City Predator from Predator 2, if they just called it an original design I could cut them more slack but they didn't. I'm just not liking what I am seeing at all, and that price is insane. Easy pass, even if this thing was standard Figma price, 70-80$, I'd still probably pass, I just don't like how this thing looks. I am still more then happy with my old MonsterArts Predator and Alien Warriors, I LOVE the sculpt and proportions on those guys. I'll admit the new Figma alien looks much better then the Predator, but I don't want or need more Alien figures so I'm good. Quote
Mommar Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 To be honest those things have been pushed back so many times I don’t even care anymore. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 I received Hawkins. I hope NECA can somehow release more of the cast. Quote

When did you get a shipping notice? I got a shipping notice on mine back on 7/27 but the tracker shows it was basically just the creation of the UPS label and still says waiting for pick up. Ridiculous. Edited August 7, 2018 by glane21 Quote

I got a shipping notice also on 7/27. Mine was shipped through USPS and was delivered on 8/1. Maybe contact UPS for yours. Quote

tekering Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 What a remarkably complex sequence! I sure hope it was shot on film, and the negatives have been properly stored. I've love to see it properly mastered in HD video. Thanks for sharing! Quote

Dynaman Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Just found out the actor really was a marine in Vietnam, it may be part of the reason he was so believable in the role. Quote

electric indigo Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 http://www.comicsbeat.com/dark-horse-announces-comic-adaptation-of-william-gibsons-alien-3-script/ I read Gibson's script back in the day and found it pretty cool (but not really fitting into the franchise). Unfortunately, the art from DC's adaption looks pretty lame, IMO. Quote
