VIDEO REVIEW: Eaglemoss’ Amanda Ripley.

My favourite French Facebook friend, Baptiste Coudert, has released a new video review for you to enjoy.  This time he takes a peek into Eaglemoss’ figurine release of Amanda Ripley, the main character whose shoes you fill in the video game, ALIEN Isolation.

I love ALIEN Isolation.  For a video game, it succeeded in ways movies just can’t.  Scary movies are one thing, but I can chomp ’em down without so much as a tremor coz I’m so Manly.

Now, this ALIEN Isolation game, thingy?  That’s a different story.  The interactive Creative Assembly title had me squealing and whimpering like the pathetic little Girly Man I really am.  Yep.  I’m scared of a video game.  Shameful, I know, but true.  Love Amanda Ripley and Eaglemoss treatment of her looks sweet.   Thank you, Baptiste.

Post ALIEN Day – Eaglemoss Facehugger.

As often happens, some announcements slip by unnoticed on the day, so a few late additions are inevitable.  Here’s one such item that scurried away unseen.

The new facehugger has been afforded the ‘Bonus Edition’ treatment by Eaglemoss.  No.4, actually.  This large scale 10 inch long figurine is now available for a discount price from their online store.

Heres’ what Eaglemoss have to say about it.  Need a hug? Eaglemoss Hero Collector proudly presents its first full, the latest eerie instalment in the Alien & Predator Figurine Collection.  …  The figurine captures every aspect of this perfect organism it all its disturbing detail. This hand-painted polyresin Facehugger figure is almost 10” long and makes an essential addition to any Alien collection.  Looks like love at first sight to me!”

Looks great to me.  Grab yours now.  Or be grabbed.

Eaglemoss Tusked Alien and Resurrected Ripley.

Pre orders are now live on BigBadToyStore for Eaglemoss upcoming latest additions to their ALIEN & PREDATOR figurine collection.  Coming soon is Ripley 8 from ALIEN Resurrection and an Alien I have no idea what it’s from.  A comic..?  or video game, maybe.  Dunno.  Not familiar with the origin of this figurine.  Anyway, the Tusked Xenomorph makes it item no.40 in Eaglemoss popular range of figurines.

Pre-order for each of these items is US$29.99.  They are estimated to be released in November, 2018.  More information is now available for the Tusked Xenomorph and Ripley 8.

Unfortunately, the usual terms and conditions apply – The same old “Blah, blah blah…” that informs you the contest is only available to residents of the US, “Blah, blah, blah…”

Australia deserves ALIEN Day goodies, too, y’know.  lol.  Oh, well.  It’s no big deal, I guess.
Mind you, it is April 1st today.  So, is this an elaborate April Fool’s Day gag on behalf of Eaglemoss..?  Probably not.  All the same, good timing there, Guys.

Eaglemoss Neomorph Pre-Order Now Available.

I loved ALIEN: Covenant and the new hostile creatures it brought to the ALIEN universe were perfect.  The pallid Neomorphs were a highlight of the film, regardless of what anyone thought of the movie.  It looks like Eaglemoss will be adding one to their great range of ALIEN and PREDATOR figurines.

Estimated to arrive sometime in September 2018, the 1/16 scale figurine is made from specially formulated metallic resin and includes an information packed character pamphlet.  Nice.  If you want one of these pieces of ugliness in your life (You do, I know you do – otherwise you wouldn’t be visiting this site, right?) then it’s available as a pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store.

Eaglemoss Xenomorph King Pre-Order.

Eaglemoss have announced pre-orders are now available for the 3rd figurine in their Special Series of large figurines.  The Rogue Xenomorph King is 24cm (9.5 inches) and expected to ship sometime in April, 2018.

Here’s what Eaglemoss have to say about this upcoming release, “Inspired by the acclaimed Aliens: Rogue comic book, the latest Special Issue in the Alien and Predator Figurine Collection is the imposing Xenomorph King.

Standing a massive 24 cm tall the Rogue Xenomorph King Figurine strikes a pose of determination emphasised as he rises to watch over the six detailed alien eggs that swarm around his clawed feet. Features his distinct pinkish hue skin, although this creature displays a more weathered look and different skeletal flourishes to the Alien Queen, he shares her uncontrollable power and ferocity.

More information and ordering details for those of you who want this item.

ALIEN Covenant Figure by Eaglemoss.

I don’t have any information on this item just yet, (The Eaglemoss site redirects me to their castrated and underwhelming Australian site. Which is useless in the extreme.) but here is an image of their upcoming ALIEN: Covenant figure. This looks absolutely bad ass!  Such a great movie and this is the film’s signature Alien in it’s definitive stance.

“The beast is back! Inspired by the iconic creature’s appearance in James Cameron’s celebrated sci-fi masterpiece, Aliens, The Alien & Predator Figurine Collection is proud to present the mega-sized Alien Xenomorph Warrior Figurine.”  is what Eaglemoss have to say about it.

Pre-Order Eaglemoss Fifield and Ripley.

Looks like pre-orders are open for Eaglemoss ALIEN & PREDATOR figurine collectibles of Fifield and Ripley.  Mutated Sean Fifield (Issue #31)  from the ill fated Prometheus expedition and ALIENS version of Ellen Ripley (Issue #32) are heading our way.  One of these figures is super sexy and confronted some nasty alien thingy – the other is an over rated wench from last Century – you figure out which one is which.

Seriously, though.  It’s great to see Ripley finally being represented in her ALIENS garb, ready to confront the Queen; and the alternate version of Fifield Eaglemoss have gone with here will contrast well with the more screen accurate version NECA released some time back.

Honestly, though.  Fifield is the sexier one of the two items on offer here.  The raging, out of control pigeon toed mutant going ballistic wins my vote.  Either way, it looks like these will be available 0n 25 April, 2018.
