They're really well done. The set for Lootcrate looked good in hand, and the glow effect is surprisingly strong.

Oh, just to be clear, I was talking about the collected editions of Batman/Aliens initially. BvP collected editions 2 and 3 weren't great compared to the original (one of my first purchases!).

TBH I didn't even know there were more Batman vs Predator stories. Those 3 issues above is the only one I've read.

They got pretty lazy, unfortunately. Right down to a one-armed Predator who somehow grows it back...

I just watched the Pixel Dan NECA interview video, NECA wants to make Overwatch figures which is a really good sign, hopefully they will get the license. They are also going to have more Heroes of the Storm stuff at Blizzcon in November, hopefully this might include unannounced figures, otherwise with 4 figures and a deluxe figure a year it is going to take a decade to finish the HoS current roster.

As far as HotS is concerned I'm still just holding out for Kerrigan and literally any of the Protoss characters. Kerrigan feels like she should have been made by now but hopefully they'll announce her soon.

The more I look at it, the more I need that Raphael quarter scale...
In other news... Randy has said that the third Predator in series 17 won't be from the films, so comic? Video game? I'd guess comic. Comic book Preds will have movie-look paint, not comic. 'Of course' to Golden Angel and Dachande. If they do an AvP accessory pack the Alien body parts are being kept in mind (wanted these for a long time). The Kenner Xenos will come with 'huggers like the old ones. 'We'll see' to Aliens leather jacket Ripley and Newt two pack - now that would be good! Weaver herself limits the expressions on her figures! I'll post more when I get the chance, I use these posts as reminders to me as much as anything lol.

It was missing the whole way through the book, then they just pretended that hadn't happened lol. Truthfully there hasn't been a good Bats/Pred book since the first (Awful multi-crossover with Supes and Aliens included). Something that will hopefully be fixed if the new Pred movie has legs.

I have part 2 I think of a Predator/Alien/Superman/Batman crossover book. It's not great. Lois has a mini jetpack or something. Yeah...
Oh man just imagine a crossover movie where Batfleck takes on a Predator though! Or if the guys that made Dead End got to make a full movie! I think I would squeal like a teenage girl. |

More news...
NECA t-shirts could be a thing in the future. New Iron Maiden stuff in the works. No more Aliens marines planned (I would never rule out Apone and Drake down the line though, actors change their minds etc) Current Konami Castlevania team doesn't get that retro look and current are two totally different things. How anyone can be that dumb in 2016... Two more Shredders are done but they're not discussing anything yet. News in September. Ali-Supes - 'more from that line'. Whatever that means. Batman Vs Predator? It seems the paint app helped them get round the licensing of Supes, so that bodes well for the future. Realistic Ali figure now possible. Gremlins and Robocop stuff next year. Previous teasers of EndoCop and Future Robocop from the Robocop Vs. Terminator comic are coming next year. 30th anniversary stuff for Predator and Robocop coming next year.

I liked Dawn of Justice okay. Sure they could have done way better but expectations were impossibly high for that movie. Justice League looks like they've learned from it too so that's a plus.

Oooh that'll be a nice treat, so a blue one with Gorilla and a green one with Mantis I'd guess.
I hope it's not just more mego style dolls, like if they do a Book of Souls Eddie it should be as a plastic 7" figure because that would look weird as a clothed 8" mego.

Oh damn I completely overlooked that part! Nice. I think I might still have one or two of the ones that came with the Kenner Aliens.

@snake5289
Randy made it sound like the current Konami team believe retro merch will encroach on the current series' standing. While anyone else with a brain knows it will draw people in. I have to wonder what decisions are being made by some brand gimp in a suit and the game's team, who would probably have more of a clue. @En Sabah Nerd Yeah, I'll take whatever Facehuggers I can get!

I would be all over Overwatch figures, the only downside would come from it also having a large character roster so many wouldn't get made for at least awhile (like Zenyatta whom I main). Tracer would be an obvious first if this line ever starts.
As far as HotS is concerned I'm still just holding out for Kerrigan and literally any of the Protoss characters. Kerrigan feels like she should have been made by now but hopefully they'll announce her soon. I was really surprised Kerrigan wasn't in this wave when it was teased at Toy Fair. Now that Raynor is on the way Ihope she gets announced in the next wave, or at BlizzCon if we do end up with more announcements then.

Yep, with 22 heroes in the roster right now I think assuming four heroes a hear like the HotS line that's 5.5 years just to get the current heroes nevermind new ones Blizzard add.

Kerrigan really needs to be in the next set of HotS figures or I'll have to grimace and complain some more.

take for example the PRED HOUNDs from PREDATORS or those six legged wild dogs things and that big black panther thing from AVATAR all those things had features of a dog/wolf/panther but weren’t actually a dog/wolf or panther but the cross DNA thing works either way that MANTIS sculpt is f- -kin sick and GORILLA with removable dome is insane ALIENS the ALBINO, FROST and VASQUEZ look good the VGA XENOs look interesting, well i’m assuming they’re VGA PREDATOR i’ll be picking up both Ultimates and a couple of those accessory packs … man a KING WILLIE’s severed head that CH could hold would be a cool neat accessory, please NECA the T-800(Police Assault), T-1000(Motor Cop), New Nightmare FREDDY and 3D JASON are awesome! major props to NECA |

The solid-ish blue Big Chap is a Kenner homage since one of the old Kenner Aliens was just the alien from their AVP two pack but in solid light blue (Warrior Alien). The pink and orange Aliens warrior alien does look a lot like the aliens from the Aliens arcade game (or maybe a home release version). I'm not 100% sure where the yellow alien is sourced from on the spot but it does tease us that we're getting an AVPR warrior alien since it's on the AVP alien body but it has the ridged head like from AVPR.

I've just ordered a Predator from eBay, that looks like some kind of factory Prototype or something, but I'm not completely sure what Predator it's meant to be.
The helmet looks to be that of Scar Predator, and the overall body could be of Scar, Chopper or Celtic, but it has the wrist blades found on Chopper and the Temple Guard figures. Can anyone tell me whether this IS Scar, or another Predator?? Thanks. |
