I wondered if anyone is attending comic con this year. I have not seen any threads regarding this. Please post if there is any news.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hiya Toys displayed their 1/18 Aliens APC, painted/detailed, opened the top... It's all kinds of kick ass. They also had prototypes of 2 new aliens from the game I do believe, but also revealed they now have the full license (probably just for 4" scale) on Aliens figures, so they do plan to do a Ripley and other Marines I guess. Also they've acquired Predators I & II licenses... Kinda hoping they get more of the Predator movies too.
Either way they had a lot to show off ultimately, but were also showing off their Marines, Aliens, and the Power Loader which all just shipped this past week from BBTS if you pre-ordered.
Acid Rain World toys didn't have many prototypes on display like in the past (Not a clue why not), but they did have prototypes of their new figures coming, mostly looking like droids of some kind. "Bad Guys" I guess?
And they had a prototype of a Laurel Variation coming next year, we've seen it before, and of a MkI Speeder variation with what look like large water-cooled guns on it.
Usually they'd have scads of new prototypes to show, so that was kind of a disappointment to be honest.
Star Wars had a little something for everyone kind of... Lot of 6" coolness, some 4" 5POA stuff, Rogue One glimpses, and they confirmed SA 4" figures will remain a Wal-Mart exclusive (oh joy.
), but at least it continues.Hot Toys/Side Show 1/6 Star Wars is... just insane at this point. And insanely priced, but the quality, good lord.
Beyond that, me personally, that was about all I was into seeing at the show... I'll look forward to more Star Wars info in the coming month(s).
Yay toys!
