The latest and final Space Marine to join the current ranks of the growing Prototype Gallery is Corp Hicks.  The good corporal is accompanied by his exact duplicate making this entry into the gallery a double header.  They’re very difficult items to distinguish from each other but, yes. There’s definitely a pair of Corporals to be found in this section.

You can check out both Corporal Hicks prototypes on their gallery page.

I’d like to thank Scott Morrissey for his kind permission to use these images.

For today’s never ending update to the Prototype Gallery, it’s Private Drake, one of two Smartgunners of the ill fated rescue mission to LV-426.  The Kenner Drake figure is somewhat more accurate to his screen presence than some of his Space Marine companions and it shows in this hand painted hard copy prototype of the character.

Check out this prototype Drake figure in his surly glory right here!

Thank you, Scott Morrissey for this contribution.

Human characters may not be as popular as the Alien items, but no one can deny the memorable lines peppered with assertive tones delivered by Al Matthews in his role as Sgt. Apone in ALIENS.  Too bad the Kenner figure completely ignored the on screen character for their version of the action figure.  The only semblance between the two are the name, and a quote from the movie on to be found on the back of the ALIENS figure’s packaging, “Move it, people…”

Nonetheless, it’s a cool figure even if it shares very little with the source character it is base upon.   Here’s a few images of an incomplete prototype sample for Kenner’s 1992 Sgt. Apone figure.  Enjoy!  More coming.

Kenner took a lot of liberties with their version of Bishop for their ALIENS series of action figures.  Hey, it’s really the character in name only.  At least it looks like a robot.  It’s more like one of AvP2’s Combat Synthetics – but that game was released a decade later.  Maybe AvP2’s Combat Synthetics were based on this figure..?  Who knows?

Anyway, here’s a gallery of images of a prototype figure for Kenner’s Bishop Android.  Complete with a gun that looks like it resembles a gearbox pulled from the underside of a Ford F100.  Neat.

Our third Kenner ALIENS prototype added to the Gallery this week is the wonderful quadrupedal menace, known as the ‘Rhino Alien’.

Check out the images of this curious ALIENS Series 2 test shot of the figure on its own gallery page.  You’ll love it!

Once again, thank you Scott Morrissey for the image content on this page.  Too much wonderful stuff; and we can all be grateful for his preparedness to share it all with us!
