They said they are doing the GAME colors not the movie colors though... This is the same group that did the Our War figures a while back as well..

Except the game colors more closely match the film colors. The figure decos don't really match either....

Looks like they are also planning to make an APC.

Looks good. I hope it's a darker green, and price will be interesting.

I already have a 1:18 scale Hollywood Collector's APC, but as long as this continues to look good, and isn't too ridiculously priced, I'm sure I'll probably get a couple.

...first the Minimates scale APC now this .

Well at least I'll have options .

My Power Loaders showed up yesterday, and I must I am quite pleased with them.

Articulation:
Ball shoulders with an additional hinge.
Hinged elbows.
Hinged wrists.
Swivel 'hands'.
Sliding clamps.
Ball hips.
Hinged knees.
Rocker ankles.

I do kind of wish that the ankles could toe-up and toe-down, but it really doesn't hinder putting it in some nice poses, very much, and may help with stability in the long run.
Scales rather nicely with the Revoltech Alien Queen.

Not a big fan of their figures, but their Power Loader is f-ing awesome.
Looks like these are getting the majority of my second quarter spending money.

I don't have any of the figures but I preordered the "LASER BLAST" out of this beautiful hunk of plastic.

I wonder which Marine will come with it. Who was the original driver before Ripley drove it like a woman a wrecked it?

_________________

Bishop drove during the drop, and Frost drove them to the hive.

A feature on this one that I didn't know existed is the driver side door. They never used it in the movie so I assumed everyone entered through the sliding side door.

Have you ever seen the extended special edition of Aliens?
In the added scene where the APC pulls up to the colony and Ripley, Burke, and Gorman get out, to enter Hadley's Hope for the first time, Bishop uses the driver's hatch to get out.

I haven't watched it in years. I'll have to revisit it soon.

Frost is the obvious choice as he'll only need a new headsculpt instead of an all-new figure, but I dunno if Frost was in the game.

Didn't Hiya announce they now had the movie license as well as the game, when they first announced this APC and that they'd gotten the Predator movie license? If they now have the Aliens movie license, I bet they stop doing the game versions and redo Hicks & Hudson with better headsculpts.
