I'd love just to buy the eggs and facehuggers in a cheaper accessory pack as well! Awesome extras.

Will there be an assortment of Aliens, or just the one figure?

I saw the prototype pictures of the powerloader, and I am impressed. May I ask an ETA?

Nothing's been said on it coming out for sure even, but I think it's a lock. Someone in the company let me know they wanted to get this out, then work on USCM's to complement the line. If we're lucky they continue this thing full bore. I'm not counting on vehicles, but one never knows. Good USCM's would be enough for me once the Power Loader is out. :)

I recently saw photos of some prototype Colonial Marines on Facebook. They looked really great.
I looked at the trap, Ray.

Yeah, they're working on a few USCMarines, and a Power Loader... Can't wait! Their Aliens themselves are absolutely exquisite by the way, and the USCM looked so much like a GI Joe or Acid Rain figure that I was simply giddy. I think they learned a lot from their Our War and German figures.

I'm curious to see what they have in store for future WW2. I've heard their Germans didn't do as well as they'd liked, and they want to do more (US, Russians, etc.) but are wary of jumping in. Huge investment. Would like to have an outlet first.

I ended up buying some of their Germans, and I was actually rather pleased; they weren't as glossy in hand as they had appeared in some photos. Regardless, I feared that this might happen, and that despite all of their gumption, that they might get shy when I came to doing a second wave (Russians, etc). Maybe a successful run of Alien themed figures will help nudge them along.

Unfortunately apples/oranges for them... WW2/military stuff they're fearing doesn't have the traction the Aliens stuff does which sort of has a built-in audience, just not in this scale. Even with some licensing issues between there and here, regarding those Aliens figures, still seem like a more palatable option for them. Hoping they're interested in doing more WW2 though. Sounds though like US Winter may replace Russians, even if they do go that route.

Sorry to keep nagging, but I am ready to chomp on the bit: Any word on the USCM figures?

The latest facebook pics look enticing, as does the Q3 delivery date. Hoping for a Drake or Vasquez figure the most!
