Will Alien ReAction from Funko continue?

[palitoy]

The gentleman who oversaw the whole Super 7 Alien project, did not join Funko when they took over. It's kind of obvious to me that he had big hand in why that line looked so good.

They got it right with Alien because they scanned in the original prototypes. The rest of the stuff they've shown looks like someone sculpted them as a joke.

Actually that's not true, at least not for 3 of the figures. The sculptor I'm using for wave 2 of the Six Million Dollar Man figures sculpted three of the characters from that line, which were Ripliey, Dallas and Ash. The only reference material he had to work from were images of the original prototypes.

I've worked with five different sculptors who were/are doing work on these type of figures. Trust me when I say that capturing the classic Kenner look is not easy, there's been a lot of trial and error involved with the process.

Maybe they are going after the Kenner prototype look where they used FP adventure people for the base.

FP Adventure People look 1000 times better.

That's probably it.
Snake Plissken? Generic guy with brown jacket and beard stubble. Why make any more effort?

I would like them in the retro Kenner style, but not in the "let's do them in a crappy and unrecognizable style" that we're seeing for Escape from New York, Back to the Future, etc.
Funko needs to learn the distinction between "retro" and "poorly made".
They got it right with Alien, so it's possible.

movie accurate in a Kenner sort of way?

[samurainoir]

I would love a full set of movie accurate marines.

I'm not too crazy about the upcoming lines, but the Alien figures are great.
I was wondering: would they ever consider making the three remaining crew members (Parker, Brett and Lambert), and how about a follow-up with the Colonial Marines?
