I bought another AvP warrior, it's still great. Our TRU actually had the wave in, finally.

Not a lot that I want right now though. I need to save up for the 1/4th chap or Pred, that could be cool.

When are these fukks going to show series 2 of the HotS figures?

So how many of these packs is everyone getting? Seems pretty cheap for what's in it. Some companies would charge 20 bucks for those Facehugger stasis tanks alone.

I'm thinking of getting a second pack to fuck around with, maybe trying to make a facehugger dissection scene using one of those hasegawa lab tables or something.
>>
>>5559797
>Some companies would charge 20 bucks for those Facehugger stasis tanks alone.

no other company would make them anyways
>>
>>5559797
Probably none. I don't have any Marines unless they make Vasquez and rerelease Hicks and Hudson.
>>
>>5559797
How much are they going to be? I went for the egg pack and I'll admit I thought those were a little expensive for what they were. But those stasis tanks look sweet as hell.
>>
>>5559954
They'll probably be the same price as the egg carton.
>>
>>5559954
BBTS has them for $19
>>
>>5559797
Now that they are separate when is the queen chestburster coming out and what is she coming with?
>>
>>5560168
Would be great if the Queen Chestburster came with the Dogburster. I'd sure as hell buy that.
>>
>>5559797
I'm getting two sets, or maybe even three. Unlike the usual approach of making an "Alien hive" that tends to happen with Alien displays, I want to line up the tanks in the back of my shelf so they add a bit of that cold and creepy aesthetic that the first two films were known for.
>>
>>5559172
I had no idea Mitt Romney was the guy who played Ash...
>>
>>5559797
I'd get two sets, but i said the same about the egg cartoon and in the end couldn't get one because of the economy crysis, so i'm saving just for the figs for now...
>>
>>5559954
Randy said the same price as a figure.
>>
>>5559797
>Set includes:
- 2 Stasis Chambers with LED Lights - Press a button to cast an eerie glow on the facehugger preserved within it! You can even fill the tube with water if you choose. Facehugger can also be removed from tube. Batteries included.
- 2 Chestbursters with bendable tails
- 2 Facehuggers with bendable tails

Alright so, it comes wit 2 or 4 facehuggers? I hope it's 2 because I don't need that many.
>>
>>5560486
2 face jiggers.

>>5559965

Not something I'll really use, but still a neat little feature I suppose.

He's so cool though ain't he? I didn't think I'd like him when I bought him. But that metallic sheen on the highlights really makes him pop.

I think this is the best VGA figure they've done. It doubles as a great comic style Robocop too. Fits in with Bad Blood and Enforcer preds
>>
Is the T-800 with Plasma Rifle from the Robocop vs Terminator worth getting? I love how the deco looks with the combination of different exposed Endo parts but it has the more dated articulation of the lower torso. I know there's the upcoming VGA Terminator with the updated articulation from the Ultimate figure as well so I guess that's a possible alternative as well. Thoughts?

If you can deal with having less articulation then I say go for it.

Also, why not get both? The video game figures look better when they're displayed together.
>>
>>5560997
I like it a lot. The T-800 doesn't really need to be doing wild side kicks or anything and the deco is neat
>>
I posted this on the other thread but it was dying so I'll try again here.

What are everyone's thoughts on Heroes of the Storm figures, and what's Blizzard's relationship with NECA like? I got burnt heal hard on that TF2 set, because it'll never be complete. I mean, granted, I'll probably not get the entire hero roster on there, but I'm hoping for at least Pacific Rim-level of support.

They're on sale for $20 Canadian, instead of MSRP of $30, if that helps. Stitches a firm $70 at my comic book shop though.
>>
>>5561151

Where in canada?
>>
>>5560875
Yeah, it really makes me question why the simon belmont coming out is all splotchy with pixels, compared to this.

>>5561157
FUCKING GAMESTOP has Arthas/Tyrael for $20 each, and TRU recently marked down Illidan/Nova for $20.
>>
>>5561054
>>5561123
Yeah I might just grab them both since they look so good.

Also regarding the pic, damn he looks great there.
>>
>>5561171

Don't you mean eb games

Do we even have gamestops
>>
>>5561151
They're all great, although tyraels articulation is severely hindered from his armor.
>>
>>5561158

Because they're going for a different appearance with each one. I think Simon's great for what they're going for.
>>
>>5561195
It's the same shit nigga, they're one and the same now.
>>
Since NECA did figures from Uncharted, God of War, and Little Big Planet, anyone else hope that they will eventually dive into other Playstation franchises like Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank?
>>
>>5561435

I'd masturbate furiously if they did either of those.

Just out of curiosity.
I know the Dota 2 line isnt happening ever.
even that Neca isnt doing anything Valve ever.
But i digress

If Neca wanted, they could do LoL and Dota figures?

or the Licence guys will have problems saying "you know, we dont like that you are doing HoTS and Dota and LoL and Smite figures at the same time"

I know this is probably retarded question, but how finiki is the licence agreements?

>>
>>5562768

Depends on how lawyers want to read the law I guess. They seem to be capable of pulling some loophole shit with WB at the helm to do the DC figures. But with video game companies? I don't know. They all seem to be especially tight assed, be it Valve, be it Capcom. They're far more demanding it always sounds like.
>>
>>5563073
I really doubt anyone would give a fuck that there are figures for "competing" shitty MOBAs from the same company

I'm still fighting the urge to buy those two preds. I've never liked them, not even when they were made by kenner, but seeing them in action on that damn comic makes them quite appealing.
>>
>>5563609

Hive Wars, in my opinion, is one of the sleeper hits in the Kenner line.

I think of the figures released so far, he's probably my favorite of the Kenner Preds.

That'll probably change with this next Kenner wave, as Clan Leader, Stalker, and Spike-Tail are the three Kenner Preds I have been anticipating most every since they started this Kenner homage subline.

So I got my first Alien today. I had owned some Marines before, but now the Alien is a completely different thing. My Knee joints are super loose. What should I do to fix that?
>>
>>5564761
Which alien? Big Chap? Warrior? AVP? Isolation? They have different joints, so.
>>
>>5564766
It's the Aliens Warrior from the Pack with Hicks. The one with the Splatter Head.

How exactly are the joints different with the versions?

>feeling like a massive newfag
>>
>>5564761
Brush the joints with floor polish or varnish, move the joint a bit and let it dry. You CAN use superglue but it's risky and honestly I wouldn't on a NECA figure as the weird gummy plastic they use could get damaged. That should tighten the joints up. Just don't overdo it, because if the joints get stuck there's a good chance it'll break.
>>
>>5564769
jesus fuck, be careful with the joints on that one. I went through 2 sets, both of them broke. I wanted a splatter alien, but the run of them at my local TRU are all shit.
>>
>>5564799
I've heard a lot of breakage stories regarding the two-pack aliens, especially the genocide red/black ones.

Hopefully this years Grid will be an exception.
>>
>>5564803
I used to collect the 3 3/4 inches Figures from Hasbro, never had Problems. Now I join the bigger ones and all I got is joint problems lol

At least my Hicks is good
>>
>>5564809
The Hicks from the packs I bought was fine too, I was so annoyed I just kept the hicks for myself and returned the packaing with broken alien. Nobody noticed. NECA wasted my time, and the store couldn't re-sell a broken 2-pack, so I just kept Hicks. He'd probably have just gone into the trash anyway. Although even his little backpack did break as well when I flexed the strap.

I have a red/black genocide 2-pack, and had no issues with them, nor any other aliens aside from the splatter one.

Man, I went through *two* sets, returning both of them and looking like a dufus at the return desk. Is keeping the figure from one set entitled? I guess it sounds bad, but if time truly is money, they owed it to me. Plus, like I said, it's not like it could be re-sold. The packaging is not re-sealable, and one of the main parts of the set was defective. No guilt here.
>>
>>5564821
Nope, especially since the sequel is moving forward. Ultimate Gipsy is happening and if that does well then Ultimate Typhoon will happen

My Amanda Ripley figure keeps coming apart at the waist balljoint. The figure was actually separated there in the package, but came together easily. However, that joint remains much looser than the rest, and has popped apart several times. Is there anything I can do to firm it up (short of gluing it)?
>>
>>5565733
Im not a pro at this shit at all but I'd imagine putting a light layer of rtv silicone may work?
>>
>>5565733
clear nail polish or a floor polish. You could also heat the socket up and push it together and leave it in a ice bath for a tighter joint.
>>
>>5565878
also be sure to have paper towels at the ready for the first two options.

'Prophet' (the black dude) is the main character in Crysis 3.
James 'Alcatraz' Rodriquez is the guy from Crysis 2, which is what the figure is based on.

Actually nevermind what I said. The knees are definitely confirmed but either those elbows are just faintly visible or he has none at all. I'll admit that could feel kind of stupid given how you see him move his arms a lot more than you saw his feet in the series.
>>
>>5566405
I think they took away from his elbow and wrist articulation in order to give the other 2 Ash's double jointed elbows

sucks cus now he cant put his hands on people's heads and kill brain cells or whatever he does
>>
>>5566593
>I think they took away from his elbow and wrist articulation in order to give the other 2 Ash's double jointed elbows

What? Why would they gimp one figure just to make the other two better?
>>
>>5566598
it's not anything surprising, it happens. They probably just really wanted Ash to have double jointed elbows, and since both versions use the same mold for the arms, they both have it.
Adding more joints = more money that's not in the budget OR they can take a little from the tooling budget for Eligos

One of the guys who works on Marvel Legends mentioned in an interview they do stuff like that a lot. He said something like "You just gotta push and pull, take away from one figure to give to another" or something like that
>>
>>5566598
I don't think that actually happened, but to answer your question: budget. Each line, each wave all have to meet a certain budget. So excess articulation or extra paint apps per figure can send things well over the line.

Again, I'm pretty sure that's not the case and we're still seeing an early shot, not the actual produced toy. Things change. Even the Figuarts Beerus lost some articulation between when it was shown and what we got. The original ED2 Ash figures got leg articulation added last minute, so things change.
>>
>>5566608
That seems like asking for trouble (or shelfwarming in this case).

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're putting so much effort into Ash's articulation, but he has enough popularity to sell himself without it. Eligos is a totally new character in the franchise, if he's not a good figure, people will skip him. And if that turns out to be true, hopefully the sales from Ash alone will be enough to fund a second wave.

>>5566613
If they're worried about the line flopping, they should have made Pablo and Kelly in wave 1.

>If they're worried about the line flopping, they should have made Pablo and Kelly in wave 1.
Ehh, I feel like Eligos would sell more cus he's a cool looking monster. That usually seems to be the main rule with toy companies, monsters sell more than people. Pablo and Kelly are normal looking people. I know Ash is sorta too, but he's iconic.
And if they made 3 different characters then that would be too much money for all the different sculpts and tooling. We're getting the 2 different versions of Ash now because they recycle the sculpt to save a bunch of money, which allows us to have the articulation we're getting

Has anyone here got any of the Hateful Eight figures? Are they any good?

I watched it last night for the first time and it was pretty great.
Not sure if I liked any of the characters enough to make me want to drop £30 on a figure though.
If I was going to buy any of them it'd probably be Kurt Russel or Samuel L. Jackson.
>>
>>5566616
You're misconstruing and twisting information. It has nothing to do with the line flopping or anything like that. Toy lines are budgeted, that is how everything works. It's why Hasbro doesn't paint the backside of some MLs, or why a plastic change happens, etc etc. It's not faith in a line or lack of, it's merely how much a company can put into something before it does more damage to them as a company than profit. That's why things get cut, paint apps, accessories, articulation, etc.
>>
>>5566702

To add to that, it's just like walmart and Pacific Rim. Walmart set the price point they wanted to sell the toys at, NECA went okay....and so the paint, sculpt, size, and articulation suffered. All because of budgetting for that particular situation.

Just found Ult Eureka Striker at TRU. Really liking him and he's certainly a better figure than the old Striker, but I still wish they had improved him a bit more. The knees and elbows for Gypsy were fantastic, but his are pretty limited. And his fins like to fall off easily. But I'm really glad NECA has been delivering on accessories and effects lately. The missiles are a really cool attachment.

Actually, all the clothes are bought. The hoodie and pants came in a lot I got off eBay and when I found them too big I rummaged around my toy bin and found the Nanosuit which I intended to use as custom fodder. Loved the look so much I kept him around as a big brother for my girls. He also looks great next to the Major.

Also, Grats on that Kroenen, it's a phenomenal figure.

So yeah, a change of clothes actually turned my outlook on that figure around. I have no attachment to the character (I never even played the games) it was an impulse buy at $6.00. But those clothes changed everything. I like to imagine his personality is a mix of Vin Diesel's and Dwayne Johnson's only more obsessed with video games and anime. So he meshes well with the shenanigans of his school girl roommates.

He did need a workout buddy though, so I bought Taskmaster, whom you can see is utterly frustrated with his innecessant gaming.

I ordered the Ultimate Striker Eureka. Is it essentially a down scaled version of the 18 inch? Are any joint placements or proportions different? Which one is better in terms of proportions and articulation?

I know the Ultimate is considered definitive due to the it being regular scale, having the same panel lines as the large scale and some with all accessories(missiles and bomb).

After Ultimate Gipsy Danger, I think the line will end. Just need a Slattern to go with the last two surviving Jaegers.

As far as QC goes mine is alright. The fins aren't super bad, but they just come off sometimes when I'm actually handling him. I was pretty worried about his ankle initially though. It looked like the barbell joint was glued in the foot. Turns out it was just quite a bit more resistant than the part that attached to the leg, which is a bit loose.

So guys, I was wondering, what exactly are the differences between the different Aliens? I haven't read the Comics or anything. I just know the movie ones.

What about Genocide and Isolation? How are they different?
>>
>>5568831

They mutate very fast and depending on several factors.
>>
>>5568831
You mean appearance wise? It's mostly the heads that differ, some have smooth domes whereas others have a textured ones.

Not sure if it's canon, but smooth/translucent domes are what I associate drones/workers with, warriors/soldiers have matured to a point where their heads have hardened and grown ridges.

Other aspects of appearance depends on the host creature. Like for example the dog/ox alien in Alien 3 was quadrupedal because its host animal was too.
>>
>>5568843
>>5568842

I was thinking about the Action Figures, but thanks for both answers, since I have no clue about in canon whatsoever

Neca's genocide aliens are repaints based off the 'Aliens' movie alien warrior design. The Isolation alien is a repaint of the original 1979 'Big Chap' with modified legs.

Ultimate Gipsy will sell well, Crimson NEEDS to happen.
The Kaiju on the other hand are complicated after Hardship, all of remaining ones are either too large or have very elaborate designs and there's zero chance to retool, I can see them doing Karloff as an exclusive and perhaps a new Leatherback but right now I don't think we'll ever get Slattern, see for example how long took for the Alien queen to get made.

Hi guys NECA noob here,

Do you have any recommendation of 1 Predator and 1 Alien NECA figure that is the most generic, recognizable Predator/Alien for my shelf and had decent articulation? There's dozens of NECA Predator/Alien out there, what's the consensus on which one is the best? (Also had to be kind of basic & generic)

Thanks
>>
>>5569311
Alien 3 Xeno

AvP preds.

Qualitywise, those are the best.
>>
>>5569296
Probably just a prop for the display of the Ultimate Jungle Hunter, but yeah, it would be cool if they sold sets with corpses.
>>5569311
I agree with >>5569320, unless you want to wait for the ultimate Juntle Hunter or City Hunter which will have better articulation than the original ones, but we don't know about the general quality of those yet, so right now the AvP preds are your best bet (and the look awesome too if didn't gave the impression of liking them).
Dog Alien and AvP Warrior are my current favorite Xeno figures.

Striker finally showed up and man, the hips are as bad as I feared, they literally feel more gummy than the ones on my series 2 striker. I don't know why they didn't use the same type of pegs they did for stuff like cherno and romeo.

Everything else is pretty great though. He's not perfect or anything, but he puts gypsy 2.0 and the original striker to shame. I'd buy ultimate gypsy in a heartbeat if it meant we got a crimson typhoon that was at least on this level.

>>
>>5576231

It's not the same at all. At least articulation-wise... The AvP alien is pretty incredible.

Big Chap is more limited, but it's true to how the creature was in the film...what with it being a large black man who didn't quiiiite crawl around like an animal all the time. Good figure, just be patient when moving the articulation. Use the boil method if you need.
>>
>>5576231
No where near the same figure. The AvP aliens look completely different than the big chap from the first movie. Also being one of their earlier figures its not as well sculpted, painted, or articulate as the later figures.
>>
>>5576263
>Also being one of their earlier figures its not as well sculpted

Uh...no, you're wrong there. The sculpting is great. This isn't the first Big Chap, this is the newer one with the better articulation. And the paint's good too...for a black xenomorph.

Super new at the Neca stuff -

I've been thinking about getting a predator, and I'm curious, are the masks molded on or do they all have faces underneath?
>>
>>5576378
>are the masks molded
on the movie predators and most of the Kenner predators (I believe)
cus really, its physically impossible to fit the predators face under the mask, the actual movie costumes couldnt do it.

Also, for best predator results, make sure you get the ones from the AvP wave and beyond, SO much improvements from the previous ones

If you want an ultimate Jungle Hunter from the first movie theyre gonna do that eventually with all new articulation too
>>
>>5576287
I guess the sculpting is great. But the paint could be better, should be more copper than black and the bland paint doesnt help wih bringing out the sculpt.
>>
>>5576378
Short answer--it depends. So far the only ones with removable masks look to be Nightstorm and Scavage, Viper, and a bunch that aren't out yet. Everyone else either has a static masked head or unmasked head.

I think some of the upcoming guys like Scarface and The Ultimate versions of Jungle and City Hunters (the actual guys from the movie) are going to have swappable heads

I got my Big Red bootleg!

The wrist blade is indeed reversed. One of the katana sheathes isn't glued all the way so it comes apart slightly. Some of his knee joints and his waist are stiff or possibly stuck and I haven't boiled him yet. Also the bubble and card are fucked but who cares?

I haven't got his hands popped off to use the alternates yet but they're on VERY tight. But nothing has fallen apart or broke yet!

Thankfully you can easily peel off the wrist holster and switch the blades around. Just trying to get those knees and waist loose and the hands switched now.

The top of the wrist computer can come off if you heat it up enough, once you take it off the wristblades can be removed. Obviously you're not supposed to which is why it's glued on, but it's useful if you get a predator with upside down blades, which can happen from time to time.

The new AVP Preds are reportedly great, I don't have any because I didn't like the way they looked in the film (looked like they were football players with big shoulderpads) so I'm waiting to get just one from the next wave. But they're great.

I like any with weird colours or unique designs, so I'm all over Big Red, Dark Horse, Kenner Preds, the video game figures, etc.

Skip the Predators (2010) film line, they're all outdated as hell
>>
>>5577118
Yeah. Luckily the plastic on the bootleg was rubbery enough to just carefully pull it off.

I got the fists off, also. Had to heat up the new fists to get them to pop on the first time but it's fine now. Shame they don't hold the swords well, but that applies to the real thing too.

Still haven't gotten the lower knees or waist to budge, haven't had time to boil it
>>
>>5577212
Can you take some clearer photos of it?

The paint looks decent but not quite as good as the real thing, but that could be your potato camera :^)

Its probably not even a real "bootleg", just a factory defect. Hence the upside down wristblade. So in reality you just got a NECA that needed a little love.

They're human swords. Of course they're going to be smaller compared to a Predator.
>>
>>5577997

I always thought that was a retarded explanation.

Give those katanas to Dutch and tell me those are in-scale with a human.

The katanas Big Red comes with look like they're scaled to a 3.75" GI Joe. Not a 7"~8" line of figures.

Which Xenomorph is best?

AvP version right?
>>
>>5578043
Blue warrior
>>
Which versions of Ash have fabric?
>>
>>5578043
In terms of design or figure? The best figure is the dog alien and the best design is big chap.
>>
>>5578043
I agree with >>5578084, Big Chap is my favorite Xeno design, but Dog Alien figure is awesome. I do think however that the new AvP Warrior might be on the same level as the Dog in terms of cool figures, both have lots of good articulations and look great.
>>
>>5578043
Gonna have to go with Dog Alien. I feel like NECA struck gold with how it's designed plus it (surprisingly) feels more durable than the AVP Alien.
>>
Which Guardian T-800 do most people prefer? I kinda torn between the two mainly because the "younger" one actually looks like modern Arnold while the "older" one comes with better extras.
>>
>>5578084
That's why Isolation Xeno is the best, you get Big Chap top with Dog Alien bottom
>>
>>5578366
Why do people say this? Nothing about the Isolation Xeno is Dog Alien. From the hips to the what would be the ankle is just straight-up Big Chap parts. The part below that (above the ankle) is a newly sculpted part, exclusive to the Isolation Xeno.

Other than the fact that it articulates like the dog alien, nothing about the actual parts is the same.
>>
>>5578401
I wish I could just pop human feet on that ankle. The figure is too heavy to balance on that extra backwards joint, so he just leans on the tail, it makes dynamic posing a pain in the ass.

Still love the figure to death, but I really need a proper '79 Alien.
>>
>>5578009

Well I'm sorry you're retarded then. And Arnold's a big dude, too.

If NECA decided to do a Big Chap/Alien Warrior 2.0, what improvements would you like to see?

Myself, in addition to any improvements they made for the AVP Xenos (which I can't recall off the top of my head) I'd like to see:
>Waist joint as well as chest joint
>Joint at base of neck
>Joint on "headrest" so you can angle the head further back without having to remove the headrest
>Swappable hands
>A proper articulated stand (like a Tamashii Stage but bigger)

Do not open them.

Leave them in their original packages and store them in an environment free from moisture and dust for the next 10 years to increase their value in the collectors market, stand looking at them all the time, wondering if the future money is worth more than all the fun you they could provide these figures if you had open now.

Just got my alien isolation figure in the mail today.... Or as I called him when he hunted me in the game "Bob" always made the kids giggle when I yelled at Bob to fuck off.

Any who the figure is very sweet and all the joints are mostly solid.... However he doesn't stand to well on his own... Not enough for me to trust it anyways and the included stand is so short it must be a joke.
Love the figure... Hate the stand

Neca doesn't use either scale, they're close to 1/10, Newt will probably be around 4 inches tall.

Honestly it's a shitty design for a stand. A better design would have been something like a Tamashii Stage or an Obitsu stand (so jointed at the base, in the middle and at the base of the claw).

Randy said to temper our excitement for Vasquez. It probably won't have likeness, or it will have her face covered or something.
>>
>>5580548
what is it with Alien movie likenesses and their actors, seriously?

Whatever, I'm just glad Weaver finally stopped withholding.
>>
>>5580548
Where did he say that? Looking on the twitter and not finding anything.
>>
>>5580551

Most of them are washed up actors/actresses who haven't been in anything else at all.

Look at all the ones who give their likenesses with no problems; Arnold, Bill Paxton, Micheal Biehn, Lance Hendrickson etc. And they've been in all sorts of movies.

The rest are practically nobodies, so they have to scrape and whine and bitch for every penny they can get, because they aren't getting it anywhere else.

But then you have weirdo hold outs like John Hurt and Weaver, where it isn't even about the money, its about stupid ass trivial shit.
>>
>>5580559
Jenette Goldstein isn't exactly a nobody, she at least has had pretty consistent work. She also had a hot toys, so I assume she let them use her likeness. I'm just hoping. God damn I want a decent Vasquez.
>>
>>5580562

Getting a Vasquez will be nice, but it'll be a little sad to have no Drake to go with her.
>>
>>5580548
If they mentioned her name in the announcement I'm sure they have her likeness.
>>
>>5580548
That would kinda go against NECA's usual schtick of going for as close as to movie accurate as they can get (barring Grid Alien which I think they purposely did that way so they can get more money back from the mold come the 2-pack).
>>
>>5580655
>>5580635
Check the twitter.

Someone asked him if it was all smoke and mirrors when he said they would never do Vasquez, and Randy said "not really, you'll understand once all details are revealed ".

So there is some catch here.

Well if anything if he said "Yes" it would kill any fanfare, Id figure.

Same anon as >>5580682 one thing I can think of that might "spoil" the fun would be if Vasquez herself will get made (likeness and all) but she won't come with the Smartgun due to certain issues. If that were the case, I think the best move NECA could pull would be if they put the Smartgun with Newt instead.

>>
>>5580684
I can see that. Or maybe part of the body will be really inaccurate and hidden under the smart gun rig, because they have to reuse Ripley parts or something
>>
>>5580735
The 2-pack Dutch is pretty cheap too.

>>5580740
I like him, just not as much as Jungle Extraction & Patrol.

Scene specific figures in general don't really do it for me.

>>5580744
If that were the case, then I wouldn't mind it one bit. Just as long as she has a proper likeness and you still get the Smart Gun in some way.
>>
>>5580548
Where did you hear this?
>>
>>5580669
Probably long negotiations over likeness rights or some kind of demand on behalf of the actress, maybe they they are saving it for revealing any more actually relevant figures from alien/aliens when it's closer to the AlienDay or something.

Kinda?

There are two ultimate editions of Jaeger's coming out. But it sounds like now new molds?

Which is sad, they scrapped a Brawler Yukon toy that the had teased they were working on. And after Mutavore and Hardship it sounds like now new Kaiju.

Which to me is the real bummer. We were so close to finishing out the movie line, but the last bits would have been tough to do I think, except maybe Raiju:
Oni-baba (no real retool possibility)
Raiju (maybe another heavy Knifehead remold)
Slattern (Heavy, heavy Otachi remold? Or just all new mold, and big as shit)

I understand why the line is winding down until the next movie comes out, it's business, but I really like the designs and would definitely like to own the kaiju.
>>
>>5582313
With how far this line has come, there's no way NECA isn't gonna pic up the rights for PR2

If it does go away, it will be back in a year or two
>>
>>5582368
I know, I am excited for PR2 toys, I just really really want a Scunner to hangoing with 2014 Godzilla.

Maybe they will do some of the remaining PR1 Kaiju/Concept Jaegers the year before PR2 comes out as a ramp up, build hype for the new movie line? Anything like that happened with other properties?
>>
>>5582313
When you say Brawler Yukon was scrapped, is that from a specific source, or just because we haven't heard about it for a while?

Maybe the Ultimate toys are funding the new mold for Brawler Yukon?
