Ordered the set of 3 at Dorkside with 2 loose Skullbusters. And when will they actually ship them? They're still on Pre-order there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 It’s alright with me. I’m in no hurry. I try to avoid paying someone extra just to get something earlier. It’s almost $30 more if I bought the 3 on Amazon. I can use that on another figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This popped up in BBC: http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20190523-what-ridley-scotts-alien-can-tell-us-about-office-life It totally reaffirmed my interpretation that the "Alien" title is as much about the xenomorph, as it is about the environments (ship/planet), and especially the relationship between the crew.

JetJockey Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I still haven't seen those Alien short films. Hopefully they are really good to wash out the garbage of The Predator. I don't know if anyone posted this amazing collection here. Edited June 3, 2019 by JetJockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't login to PayPal on my phone browser and missed it. took 13-15 minutes to sell out. these and the other exclusives have more stock released at 1pm New York time Thursday and Friday. you need to buy the Batman v Predator and Aliens vs Superman as a US$120 bundle. apparently will not be sold beyond SDCC 2019.

sqidd Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hey guys. Time for me to look into getting a Xenomorph (or four) for the display cabinets. What would you say are the "go to" option that are 8-12" tall? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 You GOTTA get the original Alien Queen. She's epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's the easy answer, obviously... ...but I assume he meant "warrior" Xenomorph, as opposed to a chestburster, facehugger, or any other representation of the life-cycle (not to mention variants like the neomorph, queen, "newborn," "Predalien," or "Deacon"). Of course, that still leaves numerous options... ...without even considering battle-damaged variants... ...film or toy concept variants... ...or comic and video game variants. 4 hours ago, sqidd said: What would you say are the "go to" option that are 8-12" tall? I think you'll have to be more specific. I mean, the typical Xenomorph drone has appeared in seven films over the past four decades, and every single film has redesigned the suit... ...and between Kenner, Aoshima, McFarlane, NECA (and several other manufacturers), there are several competing versions from each film. Some have a preference based on the quality of the film they represent... ...some have a preference based on the aesthetics of a particular design... ...and some just gotta have every variant of every figure from every film!

Definitely a "warrior" or "drone" Xenomorph. The kind you would have seen in Aliens. Just your basic generic Alien with good detail and substantial size. I would like to be closer to the 12" side of 8-12" tall. I'll only be getting one for my display case so I'm going for top shelf here. Thanks guys!

In that case, I'd recommend you hunt down this version: The "AvP2" warrior design incorporated elements from Giger's original Alien, Cameron's redesign for Aliens, and the longer appendages from the later sequels... and, since it's neither blue, nor green, or brown-tinted, it's about as "generic" as a Xenomorph figure can be. It's also the largest of NECA's drones at this scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
