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!

I was just thinking about him the last few days. Reflecting on him as a character. Too much of the team gone too soon.

That is a real shame. He was looking pretty frail even a few years ago when he was still on Facebook, so this is hardly a surprise but it is still very sad news. I wish I had gotten a chance to meet him.

At risk of thiss ounding morbid or disrespectful....
Al Mathews never sold his likeness license to neca. So there was never an Apone figure.
Perhaps his family would allow neca to use his likeness and they could do a limited edition figure
to benefit a charity of some kind. And for us, well we would honor his memory by putting the figure in a
place of honor.

My turn to bump an older thread, as it seems a proper place to put it.
Maybe this is old news to most. I either never knew or forgot it was out there.

But, " In 1975 the hit song "Fool" reached number 16 in the UK charts."

"ooooohh girl, donchu knowww.... uma jam that rifle down yo throat, keep ya finger off that triiiiigger, ya betta secure that shit!"

This is awesome. Every molecule of Al was talent and bravery.
When I saw this pop back up I just reacted to the post title like it was new news, I got instantly depressed, then saw my old post and remembered, and was like "hell yeah 4th of july we are gonna bang this song and party in Als memory"

I'm gonna pour out one of these IPAs in a minute for AL.

Thank you for bumping this, we need more thread bumping and maybe even a section to honor our fallen heroes and friends.
