IIRC, didn't someone say that the actor who played Apone didn't want to sign off on his likeness (which would be a bummer)? Anyone?

Randy's said it a few times. They've tried since 1st Marines assortment. My guess is Drake is the other Marine we're getting.

So all of Series 9 is goign to be shown off on Friday. We'll see Vasquez, the other new Marine and the mystery 3rd figure in the assortment. I don't imagine it will be a 3rd human. Maybe a re-release of the Warrior Xeno or a new battle damaged one or something along those lines.

Looking good. Can't wait to see it up close.

I imagine the center of gravity is thrown off by the smartgun. Wonder if the figure can stand upright without support.

As long as the hips have good range of motion, shouldn't be a problem. I thought the Devil May Cry Dante would never be able to stand with his coat flowing to the side, but I never had a problem.

Want!

Edit: So the eye-piece is on a hinge right? It looks like it is but that could just be an aesthetic point. I'd sure like it to be possible to not have to always have the eye-piece covering that side of her face.

So Rico Ross (who played Frost in Aliens) busted the news first but NECA confirmed that private Frost is one of the other marines getting a figure! NECA also shared this image in relation to the news.

Stay Frosty!

I'd imagine the eyepiece is movable just like in the movie, yeah. It wouldn't be like NECA to cover up that spot-on sculpt by not including that.

Nice. Hopefully he comes with a real "AAARRRRGGGHHH I'M ON FIRE AND TUMBLING DOWN A SHAFT" action feature!

Well, then they really need to give Vasquez a hand holding a M40 grenade.

I just noticed that pre-orders are up at Ark sponsors:

BBTS
- Vasquez
- Complete wave: Vasquez + Frost + Albino Alien

EE
- Complete wave
- Wave Case

And for collectors like me who accessorize their figure collections with relevant props, Vasquez Dog Tags:
- BBTS
- EE

Wait a minute it was Gorman who pulled out the grenade, not Vasquez! At least they went out on their own terms and with a bang, alternatively poor Apone probably got himself a new hole in his chest.

True! But they push the button together, so until NECA makes a Gorman with a grenade in hand, Vasquez will have to re-enact the scene on her own.
