My TRU finally got in the Predator 30th anniversary figures and the Alien Covenant figures so I made some pick-ups. I was having a little internal debate about whether I would go with "patrol" or "encounter" Dutch but I went with "encounter" because that's the more iconic between the two for me, mainly because of the "get to the chopper" line. Anyway it's an awesome figure and both ones in the store had pretty great paint. The jungle disguise Dutch is the most unique Dutch offered in this assortment and it represents the point in the movie when things are looking up for our man, he's his most macho as he sets up those last traps out of scratch. The paint and sculpt work on the figure are stellar and his accessories are pretty much ultimate level for the look, if they had thrown in a screaming head from when he called out to the Predator that would have really made this an ultimate figure.

I have not seen Alien Covenant but I am too big a fan of the xenomorphs to not get this. It's a cool toy on its own right and thankfully it is nowhere near as blue as the initial promo pics showed it being, specifically regarding the veins. It has an impressive full standing height of 10.5" but I needed a base to do that. I'm still not a fan of how the design on this one steers away from biomechanical but it retains enough of the original elements for me to like it.
