| Alien Anthology Features List and Comic-Con Experience |
 |
IGN.com has just confirmed a ton of new details
on the upcoming Alien Anthology Blu-ray box set.
You've heard the rumblings and rumors, but now we can officially confirm it: The Alien Anthology is coming to Blu-ray domestically on Oct. 26. The U.K. will get it one day earlier on Oct. 25 and Australia on Nov. 3. Read on for more about the all-new bonus material and Fox's special plans for Comic-Con.
Pretty much since the launch of the Blu-ray format, fans have been wondering when Fox might bring the kickass Alien Quadrilogy box set to high definition. It has consistently made lists of most wanted Blu-rays, including IGN's own. But now the wait for the announcement is over, and the real waiting begins.
According to Fox, the four Alien films have been "reinvigorated for an intense Blu-ray high-definition viewing experience." It will take advantage of Blu-ray technology by incorporating the MU-TH-UR Mode, an interactive feature that lets you access the special features on all six discs and provides an index of all available content. And what does that content include? About 60 hours of special features and over 12,000 images, including material from the legendary early '90s LaserDisc release, the "Legacy" release and, of course, the Quadrilogy.
There will also be new, previously unreleased content, such as original screen tests of Sigourney Weaver prior to filming the original Alien, unseen deleted scenes, the previously unseen original cut of "Wreckage and Rage: The Making of Alien3" and more.
The Alien Anthology will be available for a suggested retail price of $139.99 U.S.
As for the studio's Comic-Con plans, Fox Home Entertainment will have a display in their booth featuring a life-size replica of the Nostromo's hibernation chamber as seen in Alien. Fans will actually be able to get inside the pods and have their picture taken (underwear-clad Sigourney Weaver not included). Fox provided this mock-up to give us an idea of what the display will look like (although there will only be four pods in the final version). If you can't make it to Comic-Con in person, check back with IGN after next Wednesday night (July 21), when we'll have a chance to see it ourselves and post our impressions.
Continue to the original IGN article for a breakdown of the special features, disc by disc, as well as a look at the awesome box art and special limited-edition packaging.
Before we get into the massive amounts of bonus material, check out the packaging for this set (and try not to drool all over your keyboard).

| Aliens Inspired iPhone Ap |
 |
Click here to check out Alien Horde for the iPhone!
You are the last surviving member of a UNMC rescue party. Your whole squad murdered by hostile alien life forms. Surrounded, they are
attacking you from all sides. The only option is to fight, take as many of them with you as you can.
Turn the marine with the on screen controls, the accelerometer or the compass to get an alien in your sights. Wait for the scanner to lock on, press shoot and boom! No more alien
Your shotgun shells are your life, run out and you won't survive the next close encounter. When an alien gets too close you use up one shell defending yourself. Every 500 points you get an extra shell, if you can survive that long
Alien Horde is a frantic arcade shooter. The aim, kill as many aliens as you can before they kill you. Every time you kill an alien the rest get smarter, quicker and more cunning making the game progressively harder as the assault goes on. Compare your scores with our online database to see if you have what it takes to become the best of the best.
You can play in both portrait and landscape mode, including being able to switch between the two modes in game. Alien Horde utilizes the full capabilities of your hardware to bring a unique set of controls for your iPhone or iPod Touch. If you have a compass the game will let you simulate the real world actions of the Alien Horde monition sensor, although we recommend this is used only for fun or in combination with the on screen controls. We don't want you getting dizzy playing the game!
You can also use the accelerometer to play the game, tilting the device left or right to move your marine and aim at the hostiles. Finally there are on screen buttons in both portrait and landscape mode which allow you to turn, shoot, mute and pause the game.
Quit the game and Alien Horde will save your progress allowing you to pick up the fight exactly where you left off.
Good luck solider, you'll need it!

| Tracker Tube Replica |
 |
SD Studios has started a joint-venture project with Stephan in Germany for creating a run of electronic Locator Tubes from everyone's favorite film... Aliens.
These will feature sound and light functions identical to that seen in the film. Please note however, that it won't actually "track" anything using micro-sonar...
we can't exceed the world's currently available technology/ size limitations.
Click here to check out a video of the prototype electronics model. Here is a brief rundown of the electronics functions:
Switch position 3 = press and release
The electronics have two, push-button functions which are selectable through the end cap knob:
Switch position 1 = press and hold
-Press and hold the push button to count down until you release it -Press the push button momentarily to count down in 1.0m increments (so you can set a specific range like "35.00").
This option is designed for using the prop in your hand. You can secretly press the push-button while walking - it will look like you are counting down distance to the target.
Switch position 2 = off
-The locator won¹t do anything. It is off. What did you expect?
Switch position 3 = press and release
-Press the push button momentarily to starting the count down automatically -Hold the push button while it is counting down 1.0m for pre-setting (like above)
This option is designed for using the tube taped to your PR. Just start the auto-count-down and move forward with the rifle- ready to blast aliens (or Newt...someone needs to do it, right?).
Counter and beeping sound will start at "99.9" and beep tone will go faster as it counts down.
They have used the same beeping interval as you can see in the movie at "49.4", "22.8" and "00.0"
After reaching "0.00", you will hear a continuous "beep" tone.
Toggling the tube off will reset the beep tone and counter to "99.9"
Click here for a pic of the parts.

| More on AvP 3 |
 |
Now even more info and pics of Rebellion's THIRD Aliens vs. Predator can be found at
Kotaku here!
Most exciting is that the Predator class is now no longer just a Marine that can turn invisible. More in line with the species' abilities in the movies, you can now jump and glide between ledges and branches. Think Zelda's Hookshot, or the zero-G sequences in Dead Space, only it's now more suitable for you to be gurgling "motherfucker" every time you do it.
The aliens have also been tweaked, and will now move more slowly than they did the original PC game (which is fine by me, as they were too fast in that game). They will, however, retain the ability to scale any surface, meaning you can still run all over the walls and roof.
The game is also being pitched squarely at an adult audience. A report describes the Predator's signature move being one where he picks up a marine, snaps his neck, then tears his head off, which is followed by his spinal column. Once off, the head will continue to blink and gasp, and...well, yes, you get the idea.

An amazing selection of pictures from the A L I E N model shop have shown up on the web recently, so we thought we'd gather all the links in one place and post them for you here.
First up is
Martin Bower's World where you can see amazing pics from not just A L I E N, but Thunderbirds and many other classic properties.
Next we have A L I E N model maker Dennis Lowe's site with some stunning, never-before-seen pics!
Then we have this incredible thread at Eagletransporter with killer pics from A L I E N model maker Phil Rae.
And finally, here's a small selection of pics from back in the day when the models were sent from the UK to Fox studios in Los Angeles.

| Aliens #1 @ Westfield Comics |
 |
Dark Horse's all-new relaunch of their Aliens comic series starts with issue # available at Westfield Comics.
A group of wildcat planetary prospectors plant their flag on a distant new world, rich in land, resources. . and mystery. Within this seemingly uninhabited planet lies the greatest archaeological discovery in history, an ancient, abandoned complex of impossible proportions carved deep within the living rock, a mind-numbing labyrinth of passages, ramps, bridges, and galleries that seems to extend limitlessly. But as the exploration of the leviathan dead city proceeds deeper and deeper, the members of the team slowly begin to lose their grip on reality. But madness gives way to fear as the explorers begin to disappear one by one. Something else lives within the necropolis, a faceless horror as deadly and merciless as space itself, a lethal terror that has waited centuries to awake. . and destroy. At long last, Dark Horse Comics heralds the return of the heavyweight champion of modern science-fiction/horror, Aliens! Aliens #1 is the first act in the relaunch of all three classic Dark Horse/Fox comics series. The release of Aliens #1 will coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the Ridley Scott-helmed film masterpiece, Alien, and will be preceded by an Aliens/Predator special for Free Comic Book Day! Featuring the top-flight creative team of writer John Arcudi (The Mask, B.P.R.D., Doom Patrol), penciller Zach Howard (Sean of the Dead, Outer Orbit), and inker Mark Irwin (X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, Batman, Amazing Spider-Man).FC, 32 pages Miniseries.

| Sideshow Predator Prop Replica |
 |
improving on the old Master Replicas Predator Spear, Sideshow has teamed up with Amalgamated Dynamics to bring out an all-new extended
version. Click on the link to the left to check it out and pre-order yours todays.
Sideshow is proud to partner with Amalgamated Dynamics Inc (ADI) to bring you the Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Prop Replica line, featuring some of the most advanced weaponry and armor ever conceived for the Predator arsenal. Each prop replica is an exact 1:1 reproduction of the original screen used prop, as created by ADI. The Predator Spear Prop Replica is cast in heavy-duty polystone with fiberglass and metal elements, hand-finished and hand-painted to exacting standards, then individually hand-numbered.
The Yautjas species was first encountered in Fox's 1987 release Predator, hunting humans for sport in Central America. The alien warriors use highly advanced weapons and technologies and live by a code of honor, marking themselves in the blood of their kill. Continuing the story of these Predators' ongoing war with the Xenomorph alien species is the 2007 film Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. The two species go head to head using a small, rural town as the battlefield.
From highly advanced technologies to basic weapons and tools, the Predator arsenal includes an impressive range of weapons and armor for effectively stalking prey and engaging in hand-to-hand combat. The Predator spear is able to slice or stab through layers of flesh with a single blow and can withstand the acidic blood of the Xenomorph alien.

| New Colonial Marine Model Kit |
 |
Just got the following message from Dave Espi:
I'm the owner of the resin kit company ESPI PRODUCTIONS I have been away from the resin kit market for some time, and have decided to make a resurgence as the fan base and calling for my kits has become overwhelming.
In 1998 I produced a resin kit of a 1/8th scale Colonial Marine and 1/2 alien figure sculpted by Ian Coulter and myself.
Now in 2008, I am re-releasing the kits in three versions:
1) The marine. (50 numbered castings)
2) The marine and torso alien. (25 numbered castings)
and..... to mark my 10 year anniversary of the kit,
3)The "Vignette" A brand new 10 year anniversary edition with a 360 degree viewable base diorama. On it is a destroyed wall section with 1/2 emerged alien and USMC Colonial Marine.
Hand poured in our trademark Bronzecast Durathane resin, the kit will be strictly limited to 80 castings. Twenty parts to the kit as well as extras and wire sections to complete it with a more authentic appearance to the wall. Certificate of Authenticity, and color boxart and instructions are also included.
As I am unveiling the prototype of it here on [b]The HIVE [/b] for the first time to anyone in the world,
I am offering a pre-order price of 76.00 including shipping in the continental USA.
Initial castings are available September First of this year, and will be in full production availability as of October 1st 2008.
One month special chance to Alien and Predator fans here in the forums before available to the general public.
Final version of the kit will be a slight variation of this, but is 99% completed as shown.
Please feel free to reply here with comments and PM me if interested in one of these. They will go fast, and once gone, they are gone again!

| Dredd vs. Alien Bust |
 |
Got a press release from the folks at First 4 Figures who wanted to share the
following info and pics on their upcoming Judge Dredd vs. Alien Bust.
In a battle that brought Mega-City one to its knees, Judge Dredd, the gritty hero of Britain¹s award-winning anthology 2000 AD, faced off against Fox Film¹s Alien in one of the most memorable comic book cross-over stories of all time.
First 4 Figures and Dark Horse Comics are proud to present a truly unique sculptural treatment inspired by this masterpiece. Rife with special features, this limited-edition piece is the perfect collectible.
Starting with a spot-on interpretation of the classic illustration by Henry Flint, painstakingly built up and re-created as sculpture, with every detail intact, the transmogrifying heads of the protagonists blend together as one.
The otherworldly skull of the alien is visible through a blackened translucent surface, creating an eerily striking effect. A hidden lighting element in the base creates an otherworldly glow that seems to pulsate with evil. Alien eggs surround the base, with unusual resins used to create a viscous pool within these pods, as face-huggers slowly emerge.
Comes in deluxe full color packaging, hand numbered base, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity which allows you to purchase the same number of the model next in the series. Strictly limited to a highly limited 1000 units only worldwide.
Dimension: 12 inches tall
Available: August, 2008
Price $249.99
Artist(s): Jiang Di
Limited: 1000 pieces worldwide
For more pictures and to place your order, click here.

| Alien Cinemaquette @ Big Bad Toy Store |
 |
The Alien Cinemaquette is now available at the Big Bad Toy Store
here.
The 1:3 scale statue, constructed from polystone resin, is an exact replica of one of the most famous and frightening horror icons, the Alien, from Ridley Scott's sci-fi/suspense masterpiece. The Alien Cinemaquette is authentically detailed to match the creature's unique, intricate and horrifying appearance. The Alien Cinemaquette is limited to a production run of 1,000 pieces, and each Alien is individually signed by the Alien's creator, artist H. R. Giger.
In order to create the most accurate representation of the Alien possible, Cinemaquette designers went straight to the source, having been given full permission and access to the materials used in the making of the movie.
Approximately 24 inches in height.
Highly detailed display base.

"From thedigitalbits.com: Also today, our industry sources have sent us word that Fox is quietly planning to release at least some of the Alien films on Blu-ray Disc in 2008.
One of the most reliable sources of info I've found on the web. If so, GIDDY UP! Predator comes out in early April."

| The Loss of a Good Friend |
 |
As most of the online modeling and Aliens community knows, we lost one of our last week, Chris Chulamanis to an
unexpexcted heart attack. Personally I am still in shock, but wanted to say that Chris is one of the very first people I
befriended online. I'll never forget how my heart raced when I first saw his custom sculpt for the 12" Aliens: USCM armor.
After years and years waiting for a decent interpretation of my all-time favorite movie characters, here was someone who's work put Kenner,
Hasbro, and all other previous attempts to shame. Within minutes of seeing his eye-popping work, I shot off an email and an over 10 year
friendship was born.
Chris had to be one of the friendliest, most gregarious, fun, and enjoyable human beings I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. When
we met in person for the first time at Comic-Con several years ago, he greeted me with a tremendous hug and the enthusiasm of a long lost relative.
Chris also made me a custom "Aliens USCM" figure with the word "Goldman" stenciled on the armor - which my friends still love to rib me
about. That figure has been, and will continue to be at the forefront of my personal collection, and will be proudle on display long
after all the other stuff is gone.
Chris, I'm going to miss your talented creations, you're incredible skills, our hilarious conversations, but most importantly, I'm
going to miss you.
Rest in peace and we'll see you soon.
For more info on Chris' passing, click here and
here and here

Collector Marc Cawiezel just shot us this info on the latest issue of Tomart's Action Figure Digest:
"The new issue of Tomart's Action Figure Digest #161 is on the newsstands now and it featues Part 14 of the Kenner Legacy
article series. Best of all, it features 3 sets of photos of rarely seen MOCK UP figures for the ALIENS line plus 6 pages
showcasing the product that was released.
There are also pages on the following: a full page devoted to NECA's first 4 AVP-R figures, full page devoted to AVP-R
items from Sideshow and a cool full page devoted to HOT TOYS AVP-R releases. Well worth the $6 cover price for the ALIENS
or PREDATOR fan.
Thanks Marc!

| Fox Cancels Christmas |
 |
Forget what we said earlier. Fox has officially cancelled Christmas.
In addition to being dead on in claiming "no one knows anything," screenwriter William Goldman (no relation) calls sequels "whore's
movies" - which most of them are - but this? This is just shameless. Devoid of mostly anything except a need to cash in on what's
left of a name that once stood for quality, action, excitement, and original thought. Having a few guys in the Alien and Predator costumes duke it out the woods does not a good Alien or Predator film make.
Let's take a paper thin story, filled with disposable human characters, film it in Canada to save some money, dump all over series
continuity, not to mention everything Cameron and Scott laid the groundwork for, and release this turkey on one of the holiest days of the year.
Booooooooooooooooooooo!
The first rule of storytelling is this: show them something they've never seen before. And there was nothing, NOTHING, we haven't
seen several times and cribbed over and over again. In fairness, the shot of the Predator homeworld WAS cool, the Colonel
Stevens character was interesting FOR HIS THREE LINES IN THE FILM! What made Alien, Aliens and Predator so great was their
refreshing twist on Ten Little Indians. This? Well I don't know what this was supposed to be, but having hollow human characters
who only exist to be be killed? A new creature we only get mere glimpses of? An entry that adds nothing to Alien/Predator mythos?
Argh! Who are the Space Jockeys? What happened to the Sulaco? Why doesn't the Predator use his natural born defenses (his
mandibles) to tear apart a Facehugger? What about the Alien homeworld? What happened to LV-426? The recorded footage from the
Colonial Marine's helmet cameras? The merc team from Predator 2?
The wrist dart from Predator 2? How did Colonel Stevens know about the crashed ship? Is he part of the government agency tracking Predator
incidents? What is their relationship to the corporate sector? And how the hell does a Predalien go from burster to full size beastie in three seconds it takes
the Predator ship to leave Earth's orbit. Makes about as much sense as Hicks getting IMPALED by an EEV's "safety" beam.
Anyone know if there's a way to unsee a film?

| Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem |
 |
Your friendly neighborhood webmaster here is about to don shorts and a t-shirt and brave the warmth of Florida to head out and check
out Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Advance word has been mixed, but I'll wait and form my own opinion after I see it. I do have a
ton of respect for what the Strause brothers were trying to accomplish, especially as they've cited Aliens as their favorite
in the series. I *do* think that setting the film on present day Earth is a misstep, and further scrambling series continuity
only serves to alienate fans. That advance script posted on Ain't It Cool some time ago was pretty terrifying, and I can only hope
the story, dialogue, and characters have been worked on since then.
Fox, give the fans what they want: set the series in space and EXPAND the mythos - every movie since Alien 3 only closes it in.
There's an incredibly rich sand box to play in here, do it right and see what happens.
FYI, collector Marc Cawiezel just sent in this new clip
from the film over at the Fangoria website.
Thanks Marc!

| Alien War @ Haunted Attractions |
 |
Haunted Attraction.co.uk recently posted some info
on the return of Alien War at their site:
The Predator to join Alien War? Exclusive News
Not content with bringing back the amazing Alien War attraction it seems that Gary Gillies and the team may be about to add something special to the mix. The most recent film in the Alien franchise was called AvP (Alien vs Predator) and a sequel is due to be released in 2008. To tie in with this, the creative team are looking at the possibility of re-launching the attraction which will feature both Alien Xenomorphs and Predators. Visitors to the attraction will then get caught in the middle of the battle between species. The attraction will run as Alien War but on selected times they will put on a special show..... AVP Wars!
While discussions are underway we are proud to exclusively reveal this proposed logo for this new development..
Don't forget... we have two pairs of tickets and an exclusive Alien War embroidered jacket to give away as just two of the prizes in our amazing Halloween Fear Package competition.

| Sideshow Alien 3 Maquette at Action HQ |
 |
Sideshow's Alien 3 maquette is now available for preorder at Action HQ here.
Effects Studio ADI and Sideshow Collectibles have once again joined forces to transform one of Hollywood's most memorable monsters into a high quality collectible. Amalgamated Dynamics, INC. (ADI) was formed by Tom Woodruff and Alec Gillis, who first worked together on Aliens at Stan Winton Studios. One of ADI's first projects was Alien, in which Ripley crash-lands on Fury 161, a remote maximum-security prison planet. In the script, a face-hugger has stowed aboard, and quickly finds a nice warm host for the incubation of a full Alien Warrior, a pet dog. ADI was given the difficult task of giving the xenomorphic Alien a fresh look, re-imagining the beast as combining alien and canine DNA, while remaining as faithful as possible to the classic Giger alien design. The Dog Alien, as it has come to be known, is able to run on all fours, possesses the smooth clear cranial dome, similar to the original design in Alien, and sports a more complex brown-hued appearance, just slightly more organic than the darker designs of the previous films.
Tom Woodruff stepped into the Dog Alien costume, ensuring that ADI's concept and design was fully executed on screen, breathing life into the character inside and out.
Sideshow and ADI are proud to bring you the 1:4 scale Dog Alien Maquette. The maquette was created using castings from original molds from the original film sculptural and paint studies, reposed to create the most dynamic and display friendly collectible possible. The creature is captured in a crouching pose, with his whip-like tail held aloft and prepared to strike. The Dog Alien is cast in high-quality polystone, hand finished and hand painted to exacting standards, and promises to be the highest quality and most authentic Dog Alien Maquette ever produced.

| In MySpace No One Can Hear You Scream |
 |
While an "official" site os forthcoming, Alien War now has its own sanctioned
MySpace page!
In 1992, Gary Gillies and John Gorman had an idea after watching a double-bill of Alien/Aliens at a local cinema,
"Wouldn't it be a great idea to be somehow taken right out of your armchair and into the movie for 15 minutes?"
Well, that's what Alien War is all about ! For 15 minutes of sheer terror you are taken around in a group, on foot,
by a marine. He is armed and will open fire and try to protect you and the other members of your group inside a maze
of corridors, med.labs, lift systems, dark Smokey Tunnels, the public just play themselves. Alien Wars opened at
The Arches in Glasgow in 1992 and was an amazing success with articles appearing in Time Magazine, every newspaper,
CNN, BBC News, CBS News in fact all over the world! Glasgow pulled in 103,000 people back in 1992 and when it
finished its run went up to the Aberdeen Exhibition centre then to Bournemouth and finally it had to be taken to
London. Opened in London by Sigourney Weaver on 15th October 1993, Alien War was the first 'total reality'
attraction in the world. Housed in the basement of the Trocadero Centre off Piccadilly Circus, during its 3
year run it pulled in over 2 million people or a better term rather than people would beŠŠ.. victims! Alien War

 |
These badges are beautiful reproductions of patches worn by the crew of the starship Nostromo in the classic 1979 film Alien. The badges are metal with enamel inlay in red, white and blue, and measure 30mm x 26mm.
The triangular patches came in two versions. Notes by the designer state that they are commemorative, one inspired by the American tricentennial and one by the establishment of UK colonies on other worlds. This auction is for both versions. If you only want one, check my other items where you will find them sold singly.
The badges come individually mounted on a hand-numbered header card, in a polybag, and will be shipped in a padded envelope.

| Alien War is Back and So Are We |
 |
Sorry it's been a few weeks since the last update (hope everyone's been watching
Ace of Cakes
Thursday nights on the Food Network) but we promise this one will be worth the wait...
We just heard from our long time friend Gary Gillies that Alien War will be returning. Yeah, you read that right, but let me
type it again in case you missed it: ALIEN WAR is coming BACK!
Specific details are scarce, as everything is in the early planning stages now, but the plan is it to open this Summer back
where it all started, and then take the travelling experience down to London, France, Germany, Europe, Japan and then a full
tour of the USA starting in West and working it's way across the country.
Well keep you posted as we learn more details about this exciting development.

| Changes for 2007 |
 |
Please note this posting is "stuck" - regular entries continue below.
Wow, almost 2007 already - simply can't believe it. Got a few things I wanna run by you all, and then
we'll be back to business as usual. First off, I'm sure you wondering where all the old news went - well
no worries, it's all
right here. Trust me,
I heard all the complaints about the massive load times and long scrolling, and no one was as frustrated as
I was. As some of you know, it's been an incredibly insane year for me personally, and as the site is all
coded by hand, I simply just didn't have the time to do it properly. So again,
click here for all the
old news.
Speaking of hard coding long load times, and other changes, I think it's time for another site redesign. The site's simply
gotten too big for me to try and code and keep up with all the amazing new collectibles coming out. Especially with
AvP II and Predator III on the way (yeah, you heard me), it's time for the site to grow with the times. Here's where you
come in, if any of you have any web design skills and want to submit a proposed redesign spec, I'm more than happy to take a
look. I really like the clean looks of Alien Experience and
Predator Stuff - think along those lines and you're headed in the right direction.
The requirement is simple, java drop down menus under a graphic/header, two gutters on each side for the ads, and then a content
managed system for the news updates in the center. Again, Alien Experience does this really well, but the software used (Cute News) is PC
only and I'm on a Mac. Anyway, whoever submits the winning design and wants to work with me on coding will receive one hell of
an Aliens Collectible package.
Wanna say something really quick about those Darfur links I posted a few weeks ago. I know it's a little out of place, especially
on this site, but, well, this site is the closest thing I have to a blog, and obviously the situation in Darfur is important to me.
I don't know how many of you have had the opportunity to see the film Hotel Rwanda, but if you get a chance, please do. I was
fortunate enough to hear Paul Rusesabagina speak when he was in Los Angeles, and needless to say, it motivated me to think about
what tools do *I* have to communicate with the world? I promise to keep the links to a minimum, but if you have a chance over
the holidays, please drop by Save Darfur.org, and help
spread the word. (You can also check out the news about the coalition actor George Clooney organized
here.)
Okay, well, with a new film coming out near, Predator 3 after that, and the host of new video games
that was recently announced, we're sure to see even more amazing collectible in store for 2007. Right now
we're hearing news about new Marmits, NEW Hot Toys figures, new prop replicas, new books and comics, and the most amazing Dropship poster you have ever seen. As always, stay tuned to
alienscollection.com for all the latest in Aliens collectibles and more.
As for me personally, well, we're in the middle of production on season 2 of
Ace of Cakes, and will premiere
with 13 new episodes January 18th on the Food Network. Wanna say thanks to
ALL of you for your support and comments, means a lot and thanks for watching...!

| Original Dropship Tail Section for Sale |
 |
Well, those of you who've gotten an influx of cash for holidays may be interested to know the original tail section from the crashed
Dropship in Aliens is now for sale over at
Propstore!
The tail section of the Drop Ship used in the sci-fi thriller Aliens. The ship still has all of the original graphics applied to the body. The 'top' two fins of the tail section were missing and have been replaced by an industry model maker, creating a pair using photo references and matching the paint and finish to the rest of the body. These are comfortably, though not permanently, positioned in place using dowels (slotting into the original holes) they really add to the piece, but can easily be removed if required. Also included is a front intake engine and two small VTOL engines. Made out of a thin fibreglass and with a grey/green paint effect to resemble a space worn vehicle. The ship still has the fixings which allowed the guide wires to run through the ship as it was filmed coming in to crash. Even though this is only the tail section of the Drop Ship it is still instantly recognisable. The one thing memorable about the ship is the fact that it crashed so spectacularly, so these pieces are significant pieces of film history. The dimensions of the main section are: length 69cm, width 102cm, height 30cm, from floor to top of the tail.
