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!

We saw the prototype of this back in February in the large press release (notice the position of the turret is different):

I guess that means HCG is also making the Power Loader we saw:

:shock:

Looks not much bigger than the Halcyon APC and that was 1:35.

It would be incredible if it was at 1:8 and they detailed the interior. Would drop a lot of cash for something like that.

I'm not great with sizes - I think it's around 22" or so - I'll get measurements in a sec.

It's a lot bigger then Halcyon's…

Their text seems to suggest that Space Jockey's blueprint is the original plans for the APC. :) :wink:

I hope Space Jockey is getting compensation! His blueprints are amazing and I know his work has been included in licensed products before, so I hope that's the case here.

The version without the xeno and blueprint is the same price?!

Who'd be stupid enough to buy that one?! :roll:
