Anyone else think the marines and the Predator better start teaming up? :-P
What do you think? You can see the McFarlane 12" Alien in there.
IMO, these figures (or at least most of them) beat McFarlane and everything else. If you were into them back in the day (back before Aliens and Predators were cool to like!) you'll know why. The metallic painting on the original figures was awesome... so awesome that McFarlane should have used it. The idea of different breeds of aliens was also a wonderful concept (as were the figures' actions)... then there was the fact that they also came with those little face huggers, and those comic books. They also had awesome packaging. The modern day alien companies don't do it for me for some reason... they are hard to stand up and are very delicate. I was never too fond of the facial expressions of the modern aliens either.
Got most of these off ebay for great deals... and they still can sell for quite a bit. If you look closely, you'll see that I got extremely lucky as I have five Warrior Aliens, which are the classical casual aliens.
