The alien is a hit!

I took some pictures of my new Flight 19 Avenger and sent it to a few of my friends. I got more comments on the cool little alien than I did the plane. I took a picture of the crew beating up the alien, and my best friends kids loved it. He also asked me if 21st Century was going to sell just the alien. Looks like my Avenger took a back seat to the little alien.

21st did a great job with the alien. I was REALLY skeptical when i first heard about it, but it turned out pretty great.

I have a really cool picture I would like to post, but I am not sure how. Can I email my picture to someone and they can post it here for me? Thanks.

At least you don't need a license agreement to do aliens and their craft.

Be interesting to see if the gov stepped in...

I make models of spacecraft from science fiction movies and television shows I always thought it would be great if they made 1/18 models from some of the older classic shows like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, or Space:1999.

I have the 1/72 unbuilt kit of the ship from "Forbidden Planet" Cool with full interior.

Well with tv shows, you'll need licenses and junk to reproduce it.

I always wondered "how come companies don't just make up their own line" But the toys's need some sort of show/movie tie in do good.

I really like the dark gray paint on the FT 19's.

True, but you know with the experience that the manufacturers have they could make up thier own line of spacecraft that look functional and yet appeal to kids. I'll bet they could get the license for some of these games out there. I remember one called "Free Lancer" that had some cool designs out there. I remember hearing a study done about Science Fiction model kits based on TV and Movie tie ins. They showed the models sold more in places where the show or movie never played then in areas it did. The kids were buying them because they thought of many more ways to use them rather then just the way they were portrayed in the movies.

Here's some pictures Saberfan wanted to post, highlighting the Flight 19 Avenger and the alien figure. Looks cool! Enjoy

Thanks for posting the pictures Tristan. I really like that little alien. As you can see in one picture, the crew kind of beat him up good.

The first crew figure in the picture is a BBI Corsair pilot. The middle figure is a figure that came with the Avenger with the head from a BBI Mustang pilot. The third figure is a stock Avenger crew figure.

Does anyone think 21st Century will sell the alien figure alone? I think they could sell quite a few.

What is the alien holding in his hand? Is it a probe?

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 10:18 am

Yes the llittle allien is holding a probe. Looks like he has bad intentions.

Yikes !!! That sure is a dirty little allien. Somebody needs to put one of those black censer bars on him

That is too cool. I wish they sell the alien by himself as a limited edition or something.
