Identify the Toy > Purple Kenner Gorilla Alien?
A reader sends this along: I need help! I just purchased this figure. It’s not any known color variant. I’m not sure if it’s a custom (it doesn’t appear to be) or a prototype. I haven’t received it yet so I’m not sure if it has any tm/manufacturing stamps. do you know any experts? Any [...]
Review > The Deacon (Prometheus, NECA)
Click on any photo for a larger version. Like Poe said a while ago, Prometheus really isn’t a very good movie. And yet, I own it. And watch it. It raises some interesting discussion, especially on the difference between the philosophies of Dan O’Bannon, who wrote Alien, and Ridley Scott, who wrote Prometheus. Another thing [...]

Some new pre-orders I jumped on

But [...]
NECA’s AvP:Requiem Alien Warrior: Still the best 1/12th-Scale Alien figure?
Bear with me here. My favorite “Alien” design is the one from Aliens. That’s solely because it’s the first film of the series I was exposed to, it’s my favorite, and because it’s awesome. Those who argue the more psychologically-creepy design from the first Alien is superior have a strong argument too, given its smoother, phallic-shaped head.
Sponsored Review > Engineer (Chair Suit) (Prometheus, NECA)
Let’s get one thing out of the way first: Prometheus is not a good movie. It’s a bloated, pretentious, incoherent mess of a film. However, I thought the aesthetic aspects of the movie were great, and that’s where this figure comes in. I had high hopes for Prometheus. I’ve been a fan of the Alien franchise since I [...]
