The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Cool idea but I bet that costs a pretty penny!

Maybe I should send them some reference photos of Hicks and get a good sculpt done of him. 8)

I am blown away by the Alien and Hudson but I think Hicks looks completely off. Not too happy about that.

Hopefully the McFarlane sculpt is the same scale, surgery will be my option :)

That crazy Moosh made a head for my custom NECA action figure! We're still waiting on the specifics (exact size, how the head attaches to the neck, etc), but I think this rocks and looks way more like me than the Dolph figure I was considering using. Thanks Moosh!

Also, with the correct paint job this head could be used to make a custom Frost action figure too!

Hudson looks perfect. Hicks...not so much. It still doesn't look like him to me.

Although that playset! I wish they would release that for the figures. :)

Hudson is a must-have, Hicks... hmm.. maybe.

I'd love that diorama too, looks great!

For those curious - A twitter answer to the helmet question posed by "EvilL_Ash" [just citing sources] was:
"(Helmets) require different heads. They will be offered later. Details at Toyfair".

So ...damn.

EDIT: OH, also, the Neca site confirms what was reported by Gamestop (in the game thread) as an April 30th release.

I'll be hitting ToyFair next week. I'll make sure to stop by the NECA booth and see what I can steal!

I've only read that the Predator/Dutch will be coming out this month. I'm guessing it'll be late though.

Same here! Vasquez would be awesome and I can just picture a neca version of Apone with a cigar. I wonder why some actors and actresses don't like signing off on toy rights. Seems like easy money.

It can depend on a lot of things:

-Its a separate contract not originally negotiated when the film was made. (See 70's & 80's movies)
-They think their likeness is worth more than anyone can afford. (Why no The Shining figures...)
-They don't understand that its not a "kid's toy".
-They don't do to religious reasons (don't ask...)
-They aren't informed by manager/agent that anyone wants it.

So, let's see if we can find out what the reason is and convince Mr. Matthews and Ms. Goldstein that it should be done.

Sounds like a plan! Need to find a way of contacting them. Anybody got any connections?
