Phyrox Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 Just wanted to let anyone who is as big an Aliens fan as I am but had not yet seen or heard about this toy (as MW seems almost as much about toys/"collectables" as macross itself). Just got mine in the mail, and I can't tell you how pleased I am with it. It is WAY bigger than the old Halcyon kit, very nicely detailed, and mean as all hell. I think I got mine online for in the $30s. After the years and years of suffering with no adequate Queen Alien (save my expensive Halcyon) salvation is here at last. Did I mention it was big? Came in a box fit for a barbie car (I thought it would come in a box similar in size to the previous Aliens vs. Predater deluxe set). To sum up: if you are a fan of Aliens (I'll even allow you Alien3 and Resurection fans in on it), or Movie Monsters...this is a must have! -oh ya, it comes with a host colonist (stuck to a wall and complete with chestburster). I didn't even take that out of the package though.
Jolly Rogers Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 Old news, there was a thread about this with tons of excellent pictures months ago. The Queen does not seem scaled to the colonist host though. I prefer the Kenner Queen playset that comes with the egg sack.
Graham Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 Aliens, shmaliens, when is sombody going to make a decent set of Colonial Marines figures? Every attempt so far as been somewhat half-assed Graham
Jolly Rogers Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 Stan Winston Studios were making a line of creatures action figures, and their website claimed they'd make a line of Aliens and Colonial Marines figures for series 2, but these never materialized. Probably because Fox gave the license to McFarlane...
Duymon Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 The only good Marines figures were the GI JOE 12" conversion kits and the resin 1/35 scale Colonial Marines made by..er...forgot who they were ;p
Guppy Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 I bought that 1/6 Hicks and Alien box set - Hicks ain't bad but the alien figure really stinks. MY favourite Aliens toy merchandise is still the Action Fleet vehicles. MY Dropship was hard won on ebay!
Vinny Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 (edited) I could use some "state of the bad ass art" marines toys, complete with tactical nukes, pulse rifles, sharp sticks, etc. Edited November 13, 2003 by Vinny
UN Spacy Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Darn......I was expecting to see a 12 inch Vasquez and Hudson two pack. "Game over man. Game over." "Hey Vasquez anyone ever mistake you for a man?"
Veifwan Es Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 any pics? Here's a quick shot of mine....
BoBe-Patt Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 hehe, that's a nice star wars 12" collection. But that old vader looks naked without his cape and he's holding a newer version of the lightsaber, right? I remember those old 12" sabers were suppose to be held like mugs.

I remember those old 12" sabers were suppose to be held like mugs.  Yeah those two are from when I was a wee tot. I have long since lost vader's cape and 'saber. The one he's holding is a pewter lightsaber that comes with the Knights of the Old Republic PC preorder. Feh..THIS is what you guys sould be saving your pennies for: Yes, that is quite pimp...
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Feh..THIS is what you guys sould be saving your pennies for:http://smt.theshoppe.com/dropship.html that is one of the coolest freaking things i have ever seen.....

Phyrox Posted November 13, 2003 Author Posted November 13, 2003 I don't know, that dropship doesn't look quite right. Too blocky, with some incorrect proportions. I'll stick with the 1/72 Halcyon
myk Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 (edited) I've been in love with this company's products ever since they did the Danger Girls. All I can say is God bless McFarlane. Speaking of Alien(s), has anyone else here have the original Alien movie pop up in their theaters? Edited November 13, 2003 by myk

Here is a link
bsu legato Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 By the way, I recently noticed that Monsters In Motion is once again carrying their M41A Pulse Rifle kit. The price is a little steep, but I think it looks damn good once assembled. http://www.monstersinmotion.com/weapons/
Vinny Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Is that the airsoft conversion kit? I played once witha guy who had one. It even had the numbers moving down as he unloaded his clip. So bad ass. If only they made an airsoft H&K VP-70, then you could go full on marine on someone
bsu legato Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Is that the airsoft conversion kit? No, but it's based on the same kit. I'm just surprised that Tokyo Mauri hasn't made an honest-to-god M41A themselves.
