I'm really wondering who the next Colonial Marine is. The clue of course is in Windrix's sculpt.
Frost, Apone & Wizerbowski all wore their sleeves down and carried a flamethrower..... I will take any and all Colonial Marines. Including guys like O Neill from the game. |

I don't think NECA has any plans on doing figures from the game, though (at least the Marines) though I suppose it is possible. In fact, I am not even sure when we're even getting another geared-up marine. Wave 3 has Bishop, facehuggered Kain, and the Dog Alien. Wave 4 is supposed to be Dallas and Ripley (Alien) and Wave 5 is supposed to have Ripley (Aliens). The third figure in wave 4, and the other two figures in wave 5 haven't been announced, but I have a hard time believing they'd do a wave without a Xenomorph of some kind. So that probably speaks for wave 4. NECA has also said that they plan on getting to the Kenner-inspired Xenomorphs faster than they got to the Kenner Predators. Randy has said in past interviews that we could see Kenner Xenos as early as wave 6 or 7. Then again, it is all up in the air. They've pulled figures out of waves before, delayed figures before, and delayed entire waves, so who knows at this point.

The 2-pack with Hudson has yet to show up here in NC. I'm glad I went ahead and got one while on business in CT last month.
I really, really want Apone and Vasquez. Hopefully the actors will be willing to allow NECA to use their likenesses. I'd actually also really like Ferro.

When my nearest TRU put him out, he was labeled on the shelf as the Hicks 2-Pack. Even when he rang up and on the receipt it was as the Hicks pack. All the other TRUs I saw him at it was mislabeled as the same thing. Even on the website, they only had the Hicks pack listed until recently. I think they might have had the Hudson pack, but some problem caused it to be listed in the system as the same pack. Maybe there was some issue at some TRUs and they didn't even order them because they just thought it was the same thing. As as for the Marines, I'll take any ones they put out for us. It kind of sucks when they can't get the rights to the actor likenesses. It would have been cool to get more of Dutch's team too.

NECA figures are beyond hard to find here, I only have three Predators and two Xenos.

That's possible. It might be possible too that they were just giving us the sleeved body to do our own thing with. I don't think Apone's actor has even given up the rights to his likeness to NECA yet, though. Same with Vasquez's actress.

We were supposed to be in the thick of a bunch of new stuff right now (Predator series 12 was supposed to come out last month, Aliens series 3 was supposed to be out any day) but they keep delaying everything which kinda sucks... I think sometimes they get a bit too ambitious. At Toy fair they said they wanted to have Aliens series 3, 4 and 5 out by the end of the year, and they had like, 9 or 10 Predators that were supposed to be released throughout the summer, along with the Alien Queen, the Powerloader, and the Predator Blade fighter Most of the stuff went from early summer releases to late summer/early fall. It isn't really easy to pick up older Predator stuff either, since the prices more or less double or triple on the aftermarket... It would definitely be nice. I think the Xenomorphs are the big movers (especially army builders like the various warriors) I usually see the Xenos sell out before the marines. Good news is, since they now have the bodies ready all they really need to sculpt are the heads for the most part. So hopefully, once they get likenesses there won't be huge gaps between getting the likeness and releasing the figure.

Drake is my next favourite after Hicks & Hudson but he's an entirely new tool really so I wouldn't be getting my hopes up. |
