2017 SDCC thread

That video, with the romantic music in the background... I'm guessing you have little hearts dancing around your head whenever you see that maquette, Hector.

And I don't blame you in the slightest. She's gorgeous and I hope you two will be very happy together!

My three favorite movie female characters, Ellen Ripley, Wonder Woman, and yes, the Alien Queen...

[Hector]

I've ordered a bunch of Hot Toys and Sideshow Alien figures, the last one being Ellen Ripley herself.

But I'm still on the fence on the Alien King (debuted in last year's SDCC, and now available on Sideshow). I mean, it's an awesome maquette...but it's not part of the movies...it was created for the comic books...

Ok, some of you guys know I'm a huge Alien fan (Supes too)...should I go for it? Should I pass?

Again, the Alien King is not part of the movies...only comic books.

Should I just pass and save my money for the upcoming Queen? Or go for both?

What says the masses?

[Hector]

BTW...in the comics...the Alien Queen rips apart the Alien King...in case you wanted to know...

The 7 inch Blade Runner figures by NECA are very exciting. Couldn't tell whether they will have the flesh colored molded plastic like the Predator Dutch and Matrix Commando figures or if their flesh color will be painted on like the earlier human figures from a few years ago.

Sounds like your typical woman-in-charge scenario! LOL!

HEY! Graphic depictions of Xenomorph mating practices do NOT belong on a family friendly toy collecting site, my good man!

Anywho, if you have the means, buy 'em both. OK, the Alien King is not movie canon, but eventually you'll scratch your movie itch and will need to look beyond to keep your Alien collection up to date.

Is the 3 3/4 inch Marvel Universe line dead? Other than the rainbow Deadpools, I didn't see anything new shown.

Very disappointing that nothing much was shown. There's the next wave which includes Spider-Man 2099, Jessica Jones, etc. due soon, but the overall lack of 3.75 inch SA Marvel announcements was discouraging.

I was really hoping Mezco would reveal some figures of Green Hornet & Kato, Adam West Batman (with interchangeable Bruce Wayne head) and Rambo from First Blood Part II and Rambo From First Blood in their 1:12 Collective line.

My full coverage is here - and yes, there were some great items, but I have to say that this year I was less impressed overall by the product.

About the only new thing I saw that I will buy in the One:12 Collective Michael Myers. The only other stuff I saw that I am interested in, Super 7's 3 3/4" Planet of the Apes and the One:12 Collective, Dawn of the Dead, were previously shown at Toy Fair.

Nice coverage. Like you I wasn't too impressed by the offerings. I knew retro Sofubi's were cancelled but Gentle giant not doing Secret wars and Super Powers anymore is a big let down, especially that they left off the rarer figures done near the end of those lines.

Mating...

Read on the history of the Alien King aka Rogue Xenomorph...

Anyway, you are coming close to convincing me, but then this just showed up on Sideshow...





My Alien collection desire is going to have me eat crackers for a few months, lol. I also commissioned a 3D designer to make me a huge 30" Nostromo ship...it's as expensive as the Alien King...but it's going to be one of a kind...
