Debating whether ALIEN or ALIENS was the best movie out of the franchise is like debating who would win in a fight between Batman and Superman (it’s NOT Chuck Norris). Personally, I’d give it to the sequel, since Cameron did such an awesome job developing characters that you gave a damn about. Plus, it had badass marines.
Sideshow must have liked the marines in the film as well, since they’re set to bring out 3 12″ figures based on the bug hunters. Set to ship late 2006 and sculpted by Hot Toys, the 3 figures will set you back $85 each and will have a limited production (no number has been set at the moment). So who are the lucky marines? Hicks (Michael Biehn), Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein) and Apone (Al Matthews) are the ones to look for (what, no Hudson?).
Each marine is 1:6 scale (some assembly required), and each comes with their own unique accessories. Click here to get to Sideshow’s website, click on the menu on the right for the preview of each figure, and get ordering.
