those are petty sweet.
I would have told you , had I known aboot 'em... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Why, yes, I did. In fact, the very first AvP comic was situated around the Preds using a shipment of pigs as hosts to infect a human colony.Quote:

The scene with Miss Piggy got pretty ugly though.
Oh, hey, anyone remember which Pred made it to the end with the Queen? I wanna pick up the appropriate character. I have these choices: Scar? Celtic? Chopper?

Why, I'll show you the circle of life!

These little Hot Toys AvP snap kits are friggin awesome!!! I'm so glad there are crazy Asian malls where I work that carry all this stuff (aside from the Hello Kitty crap).
I think they are a perfect scale to the McF AvP Alien Queen and holy shit are they ever articulated.

I think I might skip out at lunch and actually get one of the Preds just for fun! At $13 CDN a pop they aren't cheap... but who cares!

Cool ! I am a huge fan of Hot Toys, but don't have those. Everyone buy something from them so they stay in business.

Yay! That means I grabbed the right one. I also picked up the translucent Alien which I wasn't going to do because I thought, man, that will look like crap, but it's actually the best of them all.
Me thinks I shall build an army...
(Pics of the new stuff to come later this evening)
Okay, here's the new additions....

The Pred is definitely the weakest in the set... he's started to get wobbly joints already and his posing options are now limited. Also, as with most Pred toys the head sculpt is absolute shit... I've glued the mask on permanently as it is that bad.
This new translucent Alien rocks the Cazbar! He's more brownish than black and he's been flecked with orangey-red paint (I guess they must have been reading the McF stories as to how the paint apps on the aliens are supposed to be). I love them. They get 4 alien thumbs up from me!
C'mon... I expected at least one "Ooooo" or "Aaaaah" for the effort I put in...

[img]wink.gif[/img]
the skills apparent in the photos are impressive, but i can't like anything that has anything to do with AvP... it was piss on film.
geez, those are pretty cool.
like I need another thing to be buying... [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
oh, would ya give a detailed list of the articulation, puh-leez?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Piss on film? Who would waste perfectly good piss? I pretend the movie never occured... I just buy the Aliens... and, well, the Pred was a curiosity.Quote:

The Aliens have (according to the box) over 15 points of articulation!!! Most are snap-in ball joints...
The neck. The shoulders. The elbows. The wrists. The chest cavity. The waist. The hips. The ankles. There are also 2 swivel joints on the end of the mid-leg bone? The tail is bendy wire.
I tell ya, if McF had done this on a large scale to their Aliens rather than the mid-thigh/bicep slice-joints I'd have peed my pants a thousand times over.
cool, thanks.
I might have to pick one up...or a few. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Here's some cleaner pics that you can see the articulation points...
I was wrong about the waist articulation... that's on the Pred. The Aliens have just the upper torso articulation.

sweet!
so, they're aboot 4" tall?
how much $$?
Yep. 4" tall and the place I picked them up they were $13 CDN each. I have no idea if that's good or not but I've not seem them anywhere else.
They also have a grid Alien and a cloaked Pred. I've seen on eBay there is a Queen Alien too but I've yet to see it in person.
$13, eh?
not too shabby.
come payday, I might get ya to snag an Alien and a Pred for me, if yer willin'...
Sure. No problem. I'm hoping they re-stock soon as they had mostly Preds left.
It'll be a good opportunity for me to ask about the Queen too.
I'll scan the back of the box at work tomorrow so you can have a look at the selection available.

thanks much!
Here you go...
http://pages.hosting.domaindirect.co...uff/avpbox.jpg
wicked, thanks!
if you could snag me a Scar and Warrior Alien (is that the one in your 1st pic?), I'd be your bitch forever. [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img]
and I'd pay ya for them too.
what store is this?
The place is called Toys2 (or Toys Squared) and it's in the Asian mall at Woodbine and 7... if you can find the food court in that building it's near the Sushi place.
Hey Peeks!
I picked you up Scar, but they don't have any regular Warrior Aliens left. All they have are Preds, the translucent Alien and the Grid Alien. Did you still want one?
if you can snag me a translucent alien to go with that Pred, that'd be the kit's tits. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
ahhh....... Toy2 was the NA distributor for Hot Toys before Sideshow took over.
