Neca have said on their twitter that they will reveal a tease of the their Prometheus line next week and will have a major reveal at SDCC. they have also said that the first two figures from the line will be launched around september.

May consider getting me some engineers! :)
I'm hoping Hot toys will release and engineer 8) Then i'll definitly buy one. But i'm quite interested in what neca has to offer :)
...David figure.... i'm calling it now. :laugh:
this is awesome news! can't wait it up to be "teased"!!!

long time lurker. someone on deviant art already made a snakehugger for 1/6 figure. i think on there is call xenocobra. i think neca will making one of snakehugger/xenocobra because it is small can be accessory
Okay.. wishlist?
Engineer
Snakehugger
Protoxeno (with a fully working inner mouth) :laugh:
The SpaceJockey seat and suit :P
One Prometheus and one Juggernaut.
I think that'll satisfy everyone :P
Oh and one Shaw (with a mini squid) and one David with a removable head. :laugh:
i hope if neca makes engineer it will be 12 inches tall, so it can look good next to 12 inch figures. i hope neca also does 18 inch engineer for correct 1/6
the first video sneak peak from NECA is online under the spoiler tags. for those who haven't seen the movie should be aware of the fact that they'll may get spoiled ...
Spoiler
http://youtu.be/WYpo3GVJ3f4
I'll def buy them.
I like the guy with the full suit. The head sculpt on the first figure.... erhmm... not so keen. :/
Here's hoping for more figures :P
well since both are "just" prototypes we'll see what the final result will look like, especially color wise. Curious what still awaits us at NECAs SDCC stand.
Id get the engineer with the suit on.
Ditto, I like the "chair suit" one. The other one... ehh....
I'm so going to buy this thing!

Prometheus has landed!
The wait is finally over! Prometheus is now playing at a theater near you and we are proud to reveal the first of many figures we have been working on over the past 3 months.

oh SHIT. I just ejaculated all over my laptop screen!
I am getting the pressure suit engineer and maybe the chair suit one too. Maybe.
They both look immensely cool! Particularly the chair suit! Verrry impressed.
Awesome.... I really like them.... never thought I would buy action figures again at my age..lol
If I have enough money (I hope I will) I buy the suited one.
I'm so getting both even though I'm too old for toys.

never too old for toys :P "Collectables" ;)
Good point
They should have had these things ready to sell the week after the film released. That way they could have capitalized on the initial excitement before things cool off.
Looking forward to 'that other toy companies' attempt at an Engineer as well. ;)
Wasent the Predators line released about a week after the film came out?
Missed marketing oppurtunities.

David can't read Space Archeologist Barbie's dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.
Sharp Sticks, where's the Milburn-brand Gazpacho recipes Food Network was looking into sharing in time for Prometheus?
God if I know, although the current rumour is that Wolfgang Puck sampled some of the recipe and then shattered Rafe Spall's spine with a fire axe.
Nice!. i'd probably buy both of these, i normally buy one figure per individual (for example One city hunter, not two). but since the pressure suit version is clearly the Engineer character we saw awake, the Chair version could just be any Engineer on the ship. and i like both ;D
Any idea if neca are going to make these the correct scale in compare to human figures (and aliens/preds) like the colonials and possibly shaw, david etc etc? or are there a risk they will be underscaled?
Any speculation on series two?
Personally what I would like to see is
- Proto Xeno
- Sacrificial Engineer
- David
- Shaw in space suit
Trying to keep it realistic as to what NECA would be prepared to make.
Mutated Fifield somewhere down the line, perhaps?
I'd be surprised if they were scaled right. The Super-Predators from the 'Predators' line aren't scaled right with the "classic" Predator from the same line.
Guys I remind you about spoiler tags. This is not Prometheus section and some of us haven't seen film yet. Don't act like dick >:(

Ok, changing my post, since are spoilers after this point:
Spoiler
Yep.
I like to have David and Shaw in space suit. And, with the same male body, they could make a Holloway too ;D
Proto Xeno from the final scene of course 8)
Sacrificial Engineer... too little time on screen and not as much cool as the others (it's just a naked man, after all) :P
Maybe Vickers and the Captian, they are important characters to the movie, but since NECA doesnt like to make human figures, it's just a "maybe" :-[

was the proto xeno really large enough to be it's own packaged figure? isn't it just like a larger more evolved chestburster just like in Alien 3? maybe include it in a double pack with the squid hugger?
and as long as the scaling of the figures are as-pred or taller, it's no matter, what's most important is that they are taller than the Human figures. so if the marines and prometheus crew are scaled as most other neca humans, it'll be fine
C'mon guys for Masters sake don't talk about any spoilery things.

Well, the sacrificial engineer did look pretty cool, with his perfectly sculpted muscles and what not. But I know what you mean. By the same token though, I doubt Vickers or the captain will be made.

I think the proto xeno completely skipped the chestburster stage. What we saw in prometheus wasn't exactly the normal alien life cycle.
The proto xeno will most certainly be in its own package. Its probably going to be one of the most popular figures in the prometheus line.

C'mon guys for Masters sake don't talk about any spoilery things.
I dunno the thread title is "Prometheus", frankly if I hadn't seen the movie I'd be steering clear of this thread. I mean obviously we're going to be talking about the figures and posting pictures in this thread, and obviously the figures are based on the movie. What did he expect when he clicked on this thread?
That you won't be posting huge chunks of fable, especially cause this is not in prometheus section. As far as I'm concerned there is another topic there for more spoilerific discussion. Use spoiler tag, or is it beyond your abilities?
Agreed.
Damn so it's september thos cool Engineer models come out.
I've got big plans to get both versions.

He's right.
If we are going to talk about spoilers then put "Spoilers" in the title. But if not that then use spoiler tags because some people still haven't seen it.
I guess I'd be curious what non-spoiler stuff people expect to read in this thread, then.
I came here to look at engineer figures that we seen in every trailer since day one. I want to know opinions of other fans, not to read what and where in the movie had appeared.
spoilers aside, what accessories should we expect the Engineer figures to have?

hmm. the chair suit version is for when in-chair. but, all the other dead jockeys also had the helmets, but where their bodies any different from the chair suit?

I think all the engineers had suits like the unhelmeted NECA figure. They just all had helmets.
I think that the engineer in normal suit should come with a helmet that you can take on and off.
Nope. Look at the stills with the statues. They are a different suit than the one we see the helmetless jockey with. Actual ribs, arms that RESEMBLE the Jockey from 1979, and boots.
I want a naked Engineer with an actual cloth robe.
Then the variant is
Spoiler
one that comes with decaying body parts, maybe you could even pop the arms and legs off.
That would be cool.

But isn't those identical to the chair suit?. to me the chair suit figure looks like all the other dead jockeys, i dont think that design is exclusive to just the one in chair, but a commonly used suit. the helmetless jockey seem like having a undersuit type of thing, that goes under the chair suits. it seems to have grown into the jockeys neck, dunno if it can even remove the pressure suit?
So is the pressure suit only seen on one Engineer? And the rest are pilot suits?
Quote from: samoht on Jun 11, 2012, 11:27:09 AM

yeh. i'm not sure if they are exclusivly pilot suits, because plenty of jockeys had them, i guess it's a exo-suit in general, that works with the chair. i can't se the ship having that many chairs. i checked the screenshots with the two suits in the background and they looked identical to NECAs chair suit figure, so i guess this is the case.

its not proto xeno, xeno already exist! :D
it is new xeno (or jockey xeno)

Can they make a hole inside an engineer and sell the protoxeno as an acessory to fit into that poor guy? The engineers are big figures lol
this is awesome news. judging by the two prototypes we have seen from the neca line so far, the neca Prometheus line is shaping up to be one of neca's best ever imo. any speculation on what all these guys will be releasing? i.e the six they have mentioned revealing at sdcc?
Im thinking the following:
WARNING! SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spoiler
1. Engineer
2. Engineer in jockey suit
3. the alien
4. Mutated Fifield

Yep, i would love to have that Lovecraftian body-hugger in my collection, but i thing its too big (even more thah engineers to NECA make it :-[
And what about the battle damaged Engineer? What is this? Just an engineer with the chest open?
Spoiler
I was thinking battle damaged engineer could potentially be the engineer from the start OR the engineer from towards the end of the movie just as he's going after Shaw and has half of his face damaged.
Spoiler
They could include an alternate, burned/battle damaged head for the suited one, and a naked engineer from the films opening could be another figure, perhaps?
I wouldn't mind a naked sacrificial Engineer. He was cool.
I also want the Engineer alien.

Let's call it "Enginalien" by lack of other names :P following the trend of creatures such as Predalien. and i too want to see the squid/body hugger, i think it'll be fine if they made it fit in a regular package tho, it's not THAT big, altough big, the tentacles enhances its size and they can be bendable just like alien tails. a nice accessory would also be to include the "burster" sized squidhugger, unless they include it with shaw

Figures of
Spoiler
Mutated Fifield, the Deacon, the Hammerpedes, the sacrificial Engineer, and both stages of the Trilobite would be cool to see as well.
Though I'm not sure I will ever buy any. I've been wanting the original Alien figure for a while, but every time I see it, the price scares me away. These
Prometheus figures will probably be up there in price as well :-\

I absolutely love the suited Engineer figure, and the unsuited one looks pretty cool, too.
Figures of Spoiler
Mutated Fifield, the Deacon, the Hammerpedes, the sacrificial Engineer, and both stages of the Trilobite would be cool to see as well.

It depends how much you are willing to spend. I got my ALIEN figure for $40 AUS. 30 for the figure and 10 because it shipped all the way from the USA. Its more than I wanted to pay but I really wanted that figure.
See, I guess they're not too expensive if you're a collector (I usually see the Alien for around $15-$20), but I just can't brig myself to spend that much on something like this, no matter how great it would look on display.

Well 15$ - $20 is pretty good for such an awesome figure. Ones in Australia are sold for $30 or more. Still not a bad price IMO.

here we go, Engineers, both the versions we have seen plus the demaged one. DAVID! and another guy, hollaway?. also there is deacon and trilobite!.
and.....DUTCH!
now i wonder how the deacon will be packaged because it's smaller, maybe a double pack with the trilobite?
Trilobite is going to be double-packed with an Engineer, I think.
Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 12, 2012, 11:28:50 AM
Trilobite is going to be double-packed with an Engineer, I think.
ok, i was hoping it was not because im not sure i want both variants of the insuited engineer (i'd buy two or more jockey-suited ones though). but i can always sell it on ebay and keep the trilobite :)
any idea how the deacon will be packaged? it's a bit small to go alone isn't it? unless it gets some neat accessories.
and which figure will have the head accessory? and the hammerpedes? i think hammerpedes would go best with a fifield figure...and will we get Shaw?

Shaw & Vickers are still being sculpted but are coming.
I believe Randy said the Engineer w/ the battle damage is packed w/ the squid thing (Trilobite?)
B/c someone asked him if it was the Engineer that sacrificed himself at the beginning of the movie and Randy pointed out that that one didn't have the suit on & he was in fact the figure based on the final battle.

Hm. I was hoping that Vickers would have a flamethrower or something (when she wore the blue piping suit), but since it's a orange piping suit, I guess that wouldn't be so?
I think the unmasked Engineer will be my only purchase from this range.

These look great! The David and Holloway figures look fantastic, as do the rest! Really excited, NECA has got some amazing stuff planned for this year!
YES!
The Deacon figure does stand up!

I just wish they'd sculpted it without the inner jaw extended. :(
Edit-- just tweeted them to see if they're going to do any variants for it, so I'll know whether or not to save my money for a later release so I don't get burned buying the same figure twice or something.
Edit again-- got a response (https://twitter.com/NECA_TOYS/status/230105815804166144)!
Quote@Xenomrph it's articulated so you can pose it in or out. Your choice.
I like it!
Yay!
On one hand..
i'm glad for the articulation and the ability to extend/close his inner mouth :)
..on the other..
they made his neck too thick :P ..and i dont think you can close his mouth at all :P ..and his feet seem to allways have the toes sticking up :laugh:
The head seems to be on a balljoint... so they can make another head sculpt with a closed mouth. :P (and then you could change the heads at will)

His toes aren't sticking up...what you think is the "heel" of his foot is just a joint (like a dog's leg)...so he should be posed standing on his tip toes.
oh i see.
d'oh.
there are holes in his feet to aid him in standing up by putting him on a stand.
it'll be interesting to see how well he can stand unaided in the normal pose for the dog legs. :P

I think it has a heal, its just on the ball of his feet. and dogs don't have an extra joint on there leg, there reversed knee is actually the heal on a person.

It doesn't have a heel...
And I never said dogs have and extra joint...your explanation was just the same as mine...only not as well worded. ;)
You can see from these pics that the Deacon has the "dog" leg and was sculpted that way...

nice to finally see some more updates on the figures, it's quite a wait otherwise
Even more good news about the Deacon figure...
Blacklabel @BlackoutSounds
@NECA_TOYS Very cool! Can the Deacon close/open his mouth? Or will there be a second head sold with the figure? :) (with the closed mouth)
NECA @NECA_TOYS
@BlackoutSounds it's articulated so you can open close/extend
Awesome!! Definite buy.
i hope they include the young trilobite as accessory with shaw, if they do we have every creature from Prometheus available in all their stages :) i really hope they do as completed lines for the remaining alien films, including avp

Dave @PredAlienFreak
@NECA_TOYS will you make the engineer chair? Will there be urns as accessories? what are plans beyond prom - dog alien maybe?
NECA @NECA_TOYS
@PredAlienFreak maybe, maybe & after Prom it's Cameron's Aliens in 2013
I don't want Cameron's aliens I want DOG ALIEN!!!
Would be cool to have the Engineer chair..... :)
Urns and an Engineer chair would be cool, but I would rather see an Alien 3 Alien than an Aliens one. Didn't they already do an Aliens one?
And about the chair, I would love f whoever is putting out the Blu Ray collaborated with NECA to make an Engineer chair with a base that stores the Blu Ray disc(s). Would make for an amazing special edition.

thats a massive box if they are all 7". i want it scaled with the 7" figures so that i can make a display, i donät mind if its scaled down to the "prometheus size" which is smaller, slightly. aslong as it looks right, i can place the prometheus enginners around it for a ultimate connection display

judging by the pics of both together, the suited version is even more bulky and massive than the regular engineer, a really good thing. i wonder how much bigger than the preds they are? preds should be a slight (but not much) bit smallert han a engineer
The recent Predator figures have been roughly 8 inchs tall, NECA stated that the Engineers would be roughly 9 inchs. These things would tower my Predators and even my collection.

Even at 8 1/4 inches, I think that the Engineers will still tower over the Predators that NECA has released so far, especially the ones from the first three serieses.

to be honest, i'm not that picky over it. the main point regarding both engineers and preds, and aliens, is that they are taller than the humans, that's all that matters to me
but it would still be nice to have more accuracy in that, they should be 9-10 inches, these guys are suppose to be huge

i'd consider it a nice bonus if they are notibly larger than the preds. they, at least the suited one, looks more massive than the preds anyway, it's pretty garanteed to be bigger. the chair suited one looks bigger than the unsuited one for sure
Here's hoping for a kickass Elizabeth figure :P

The suited Engineer looks so cool... I didn't even notice that the "trunk" was connected to the chest before this.
In the movie, when he sits on the chair you can see it in the last second of "suiting up"
my hype is renewed!. i wish neca could post a pic of a engineer next to a pred and the giger Alien

Face on the right needs to be a reaction picture.
This is BULLSHIT!
The only figure I want is painted like shit. I didn't want to have to do a repaint but it looks like there's one coming up.
These look very good for the price tab they have.. 19-20 ish euros... do keep that in mind :P
Pretty damn affordable :)
True true. But surely they could have made the suit just a little bit darker.
Can't tell if I like the jockey or not. There's still something off with the wide face and trunk.
The colour of the masked jockey is what is off. Both jockeys.

the jockey suit did look somewhat metallic when he suited up though, but i still prefer the more bone coloured look of the dead ones. i really hope these look better in person though, they usually do.
Still not planning to get the pressure suit, definitely still getting the chair suit.
What is the exact date of their release?
Late September or Early October.

No, it's just one set of legs ;)
Trilobite has 7 legs, 4 of them are hugging the engineer, the other 3 are below. You'll have to put them in the figure 8)

Ahhh yes, my bad. Now I see it.
I love how they packaged the "proboscis" seperate...so you get a REALLY good look at it.
Parents are going to love that. :D
nice. i can see the engineer is unpainted, but i really hope that isn't the final colour for the Trilo, its too dark in that case
;D ;D ;D

i would love it! if it was released in 18 inch scale it would fit with 1/6 figures
if they do release an 18" i would only be interested in the suited version, as i'm not buying every variant of the 18" but only one variant per character

Dat ass!
the unsuited engineer is still not dark enough. but it still looks nice, and i still like it. what alien is that on the chair suit comparison? it looks like it's not the neca one, head looks different.
I still love chair suit version, but "normal" engineer is just too bright. His suit really looses "giger" feel to it: http://cdn.wegotthiscovered.com/wp-content/uploads/prometheus_11.jpg (http://cdn.wegotthiscovered.com/wp-content/uploads/prometheus_11.jpg)
I was really looking forward to getting the unhelmeted engineer but he just looks so crap now. The prototype was awesome.
I'll still probs get him and give an awesome repaint.

as much as i'd like to repaint mine, i'm an strictly as-is collector. i hope they justify it on the trilobite 2-pack engineer
I think he will need more than a black wash. There are some colours in the movie version that just aren't in this figure. I have painted small figures for years so this shouldn't be a problem.
I questioned Neca on twitter about doing unused concept art toys, they said that it's unlikely and they tend to stick with what's in the movie.. they did use "maybe" about deleted scenes stuff, though.
Alternate Fifield toy anyone? :)

I am undecided about that cut scene,
but as a figure the alternate Fifield would be way more spectacular.

Totally with you, thy design is sick! (fom what I've seen of it)
The Biosuit looks awful from the front. It looks so squat and chubby. Looks fantastic from the side and the top but so bad from the side :/
Are these out yet btw? I'm a bit out the loop.

But, if NECA release a figure of him, they will have to make a whole new body, more skinny, like an alien, and he would have to be able to make a pose like this:

omg!, now i start to feel like..what was the point of the other cut of the scene? c'mon ridley what was wrong with this one!?. i agree this one is alot better, more alien feel, more as the goo is supposed to be. in my opinion even the theatrical fifield would continue and mutate more like this later, but he just happened to die by a heavy car.

LOVE IT!
Ok. that looks cool, this figure might look much better then Deacon in film.
A shame that he's got his teeth permantly showing up :P
Still a cool, very poseable figure, though.
Bought on sight :)

all new tooling is not possible. well how did they make all the other figures they are making??? oh yeah, new tooling for engineer, trilobite, david, deacon, shaw etc.
the subtitle to their answer should read: 'its not gonna sell well enough to justify costs, unless that scene gets more exposure and demand rises its gonna sit on the back bench for when we run out of ideas and need something keep fans interested'
Maybe if the first mutant Fifed fails in sails (which it may) they'll do this version? Or maybe theyr just saying it won't be done because they wnt people to buy the first 'redneck zombie' edition :/

They're both fantastic figs, well worth the purchase.
While the flash in most pics does make the pressure suit look extremely light, in normal light it still is lighter than it is in the movie.
My only complaint is the leg articulation in the pressure suit fig...not sure what NECA was thinking there. ???
i own both figures and will def be collecting the entire series, these two are among the best work neca have ever done imo. have them displayed in a glass display cabinet along with the art of Prometheus book.
I have the Chair Suit and I like it quite a bit, although I'll admit that it's the head and torso that are the best part of the figure - the arms and legs, while screen-accurate, aren't nearly as detailed and interesting.
Passed on the Pressure Suit for now. It's not a bad figure, I'm just holding out for the Trilobite/Engineer 2-pack version.
any news on when the next series will be released along with the engineer vs trilobite set?
I remember reading that the ETA on the Engineer/Trilobite set was "November". Seeing as how the ETA for wave 1 was "September" and we didn't get it until October, I figure we'll see the 2-pack sometime in December.
NECA released this photo today. A look into what's in store for Wave 2 and beyond :P

Fifield is essentially just the basic body for Holloway and David 8 with a different paint job and a new head. Doesnt seem to have elongated limbs... :/
Some of my money is already on the side to buy the deacon, though :P Instabuy.
Holloway.. really? Why do a figure of "that" guy?
Fifield wouldn't have elongated limbs. Only the alternate version has those.
Eh, ill get the chair suit and deacon. No humans (or bots) for me.
Getting ALL of them!
NECA has outdone themselves with this line.
Definitely getting David and the Deacon (and the Trilobite/Engineer 2-pack), passing on the rest.

Thanks dude. Hes mainly where my interest goes. I like this 2 pack somewhat, but I'm not 100% digging it. IDK maybe its the engineers WWE wrestler expression. Still I'll save it as a maybe to purchase idem
i need the trilobite, the extra engineer is just a bonus. but a nice correctly coloured bonus. i could swap his head with the none-burnt engineer
Can't wait for the Deacon -- only figure I am going to get.
Wuld have picked the Trilobite up too, but it comes with hat ugly bald guy.
Shoot, not sure what to choose from - 2-Pack or the Chair Suit Engineer? Any advice?
Get both like I am!

It's an "Only At Toys R Us!" sticker which is hilarious.

Rape.
it's fun how they sold toys to kids, of a film that they where not even allowed to see!.
and the toys'r us sticker is indeed super funny as these 2-packs are sold at alot of online shops later. it have happened to all pred 2-packs so far
Picked up both the NECA Engineers tonight (on the edge of a hurricane!)
Came home and snapped some pics of the Chair Suit ...

Hell, do it with adults, that sounds hilarious.
I'm really impressed with the Engineer's paintjob on this one. It's exactly how it should be. I don't understand why the two Engineer's vary so much. Even pictures of their prototypes from SDCC show them with different shaded suits. Don't understand. ???
there is a dude/page on facebook called Uruk's Customs & Figure Painting he did a paintjob on him u should look at it, its an awsome job!
Dude, Uruk is frequent user of this forums...
ohh dident knew that but still the pain job is awsome!

I have a theory. Realistically, most people are going to want to get the the series one pressure suit engineer instead of the two pack burnt pressure suit engineer. If people are unsatisfied with the paint job on their first one then they may be more inclined to dish out the money to get the two pack one just so they can have one with a better paint job.
This may not be the case but who knows.

I wouldn't be surprised. It comes out of the same factory I'm sure. Maybe they painted the burnt Engineer properly and they just used the left over paint in their airbrushes to do the Series 1 Engineer after.
I do love the figure, but I just thought to myself "the suit is basically small variations of one dark grey, they can't mess this up."
And... :(
so close.
I just saw the Jocks in Toy R Us today and their colors were off to me.
The masked one was basically black and the one without the mask was basically all white. They dont match the movie colors at all.
my masked one is a combination of black and grey, and he looks great.
Look at the unpainted Deacon :) Love the Hammerpedes! :) And there's the little head, too! :)
This is for early 2013 via Neca's twitter feed :)
(And folks, dont hate on the Deacon, his mouth can be closed and the inner jaw can be extended, posed at will.)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A7xN8fcCEAACt4z.jpg:large)
The neck area looks a bit weird, but I'm still really looking forward to picking this one up.
They should have tried the crucified pose for the blister, awesome accessories tho!
I asked if the Hammerpedes are very poseable and the answer is... Yes :) They have a wire inside them, so you can pose them as you wish :)
i was wondering how they could fill out deacon's package for the value because he is smaller than a human. but i got answered by this pic. my first idea was that the jockey head and maybe even hammerpedes would be packaged with the humans, but i don't mind this at all. really looking forward to get this one!

that's caused obviously by the long neck. this looks really dull right now, but it makes sure you'll can pose it like in the movie.
still weird tho' ;D
He's got a pretty mean overbite, but I'm still planning on picking him up.
Just look at that stupid grin on his face.

Oh no please don't tell me the colors on the Engineer were that mismatched! I may have to pass on the set if this is the level of quality for a lot of them...

Exactly what I wax going to say. The torso looks fantastically painted and the we get down to his lower half and the paint job is horrendously matched. Sigh. I'd love go buy one of your Prometheus line, NECA.
NECA, NECA... invest some in quality control. I love your figures but don`t want to improve every one of them.

Oh wow the head-seams on the Hammerpedes are bad, I'll probably get it though, if only to use the Jockey Head as one of the Predators' trophy skulls (seeing as how I probably won't get the latest Predator 2-Pack)
And wow, this prototype almost, almost makes the Deacon look good.
The unpainted hammerpedes didn't have such bad seams: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A7xN8fcCEAACt4z.jpg:large
Oh well.
Scored the trilobite two-pack over the weekend, I'm kind of ambivalent about the Engineer but it was worth it for the Trilobite (and his erect alien penis) alone.
I wonder if the upcoming Shaw figure will come with the newborn trilobite squidbaby.

I think she'll come with a David's head (decapitated, of course) 8)
Oops duh hehe. More logical I suppose. Maybe both?
From twitter:
Q: What are the chances of the upcoming 'Prometheus' Shaw figure coming with the newborn Trilobite squidbaby?
A: No chance, she comes with the axe and David's severed head and spine

SWEET.
Could do without that silly severed head and helmet, but oh well. Deacon and Hammerpede are certainly worth a buy. Love the paint job on both of 'em.
How much are these going for again? 25 bucks?
Better not be 25 bucks. Should be the same as the Predators line. $16.99.

And the holographics, the dead jockeys, the elders, weta-fifield and the slightly decomposed engineers in the other pods. ;)
Actually the holograph jockeys could loo really cool if done right. Maybe even light up? Never thought of them before.

Haha I'm the one who tweeted that question to them.
Also I thought David came with his own decapitated head? I guess they changed that?
And NECA already confirmed that they're doing holographic Engineer figures.

Holograme aside, the holo-jockeys are just the same as the Chair suit, its the same suit, the suit figure works as a "generic engineer". unless you meant a transparent version with holo-effect paintjob?, it could be cool but dunno about "another stealth exclusive to cash in"
what i do want is a version of the chair suit in a decayed bone colour, like all the dead ones had. that would sure enhance the jockey feel to it and i would buy a bunch as dead jocks for a display

Yeah a clear holo-effect paintjob. And "another stealth exclusive to cash in" is a phrase u should be careful with. There are people here who will thrash about at the sound of NECAs evil ways :laugh: I agree with u but its a stealth figure I actually wouldn't mind picking up if done right. Especially if they put more effort into it and made it light up.

if it's nice enough i'd agree and buy it too.
i do not collect variants normally, only "one figure per individual", but since the holo engineer actually are a different individual, it's actually fine!. i did actually order two chair suit engineers, because the individual from the film is my unsuited one, the chair suits standing i was thinking as the two in the corridor :)
To those who have it... can the trilobite stay on this position?

I'll see if I can try messing with it later and see what I can do.
Also interested if it can do so since I also was planning to pose it like that once I get it.
At least it can do this...

I know. just waiting for ebay prices to drop a bit... :laugh: because those prices.. hugh..
btw in the trilobite's "face".. is it possible to remove the tinier tentacles?
I'm not sure, but I doubt it. I haven't tried with mine, and I don't plan to.
When did you hear that shaw is going to be revealed in feb? haven't heard that! can't wait to see shaw and really hope fifield is still going to be released. so far Ive got the two engineers plus the bd engineer vs trilobite.
Shaw will be "revealed" in February during the Toy Fair... release will probably be during the summer or after...
cheers buddy, dont remember neca announcing this, do have a source? quote?
they said that on twitter.. lemme find it...
here:

excellent, thanks for digging out the quote, can't wait to c shaw, fifield and hopefully vickers too
Here are some new pics and info on Series 2.

Cool. are holloway in series 2 too?. and i really hope the Deacon have a base or else it will not stand on those feet without a supportive tail :(
It looks like each "series" is 2 figures. Series 1 was the Engineer x2 versions, Series 2 looks to be David and the Deacon, series 3 looks to be Fifeld and someone else.
Hopefully Shaw :P

The Prometheus line wasn't a big sales success, so NECA still doesnt know if they will make a series 3 and 4.
The Series 2 is only Deacon and David. If it sells a lot, they're gonna make a series 3 with Fifield and Shaw. And MAYBE, a series 4 with Vickers and Holloway.
wasn't a big sales success?....I own two of each of series one....one opened...one hanging on my wall....same thing with the trilobyte/battled damaged engineer...don't speak for NECA dude....

I'm not speaking for NECA. But Randy said this many times on twitter ::)
Series 3 and 4 are planned but not confirmed. Randy said that sales for prometheus series 1 (engineers) were good, but not great.
Update:
I asked him again, just to make sure:
Q: The Prometheus series 3 and 4 (Shaw, Vickers, Fifield and Holloway) are confirmed or just planned? Is it going to happen?
A: planned, nothing confirmed. Depends on sales & retail support once Series 2 is out. 50/50 at this point
They can't leave us high and dry though. Especially when they've showed us prototypes.
I could do without Vickers, but please NECA, Fifeld, Shaw, and Holloway is all I ask of you.

Unfortunately, this happens a lot! Gremlins, Borderlands, Bioshock... when a series doesnt sells very well (it doesnt matter if they already show the prototypes or not) the figures get canceled :(
Spider and next series from gremlins maybe will be canceled because they doesnt sells that much:

My heart sank a little bit. That is really unfortunate.
I'm quite surprised. I see fans posting their collections on NECA's twitter all the time and pretty well all of them have both engineers.
My local comic store was out of suited Engineers the first week so they instantly had to order another 50!
And that in the middle of Germany.
If we end up with David as the only human we get from Prometheus i'll be sad, i want at least two humans. and as said before, i can too do without vickers but i'll gladly have shaw and fifield, even holloway.

In den 90ern bin ich öfters mal auf den Filmbörsen in Neu Isenburg gewesen,

Strangely it doesn't have a Toys'R'us sticker over its thingy. :D

I guess it is because it's an official import to Europe not bought at toys.
So they aren't really Toys'R'us exclusive at all.
Ebay?
Or another online store?
i'm glad online stores have them, because if it was totally exclusive to TRU it would suck because the TRU in my country never have any alien or pred related stuff because my country sucks.
Quote from: Blacklabel on Jan 30, 2013, 12:04:14 PM

From an eBay-store in Germany.
I've heard that there is an official importer of that set in the UK.
I guess that's where the european handlers are getting it.
German Toys'R'us do not stack
collectors items or
"alternative toys".
It's all just for kids stuff here and many toys don't ever reach the european market anyways.
And most stuff costs almost twice as much as in the USA.
Might also have to do with the fact that kids are under no circumstances allowed to enter a movie rated above their age.
I guess the situation is similar in most EU countries.
Selling
Evil Dead figures might even be illegal since the movie is basically forbidden in Germany.
From twitter, for those who still think that prometheus series 1 sells a lot:
Q: how bout a 1/4 scale Engineer?? Any of them wud be sick. Like the chair suit.. Ohhhh myyyy!!!!
A: no chance, the regular line is marginal. no way to justify 1/4 scale. The sales just are not there
Q: honestly, it just doesn't make sense to me why there not selling!! They're just beautiful pieces.. I'd buy all of them
A: license just isn't as popular, Gremlins is another good example, great figures & great designs but marginal sales
Q: what I don't understand is why having so many fans they aren't selling!! I'm buying those lines & I'm a great fan :(
A: they're selling just not as well as some other brands, if sales are slow retail drops support & wants more of what sells faster, it's about turn over, they dont want stuff hanging on shelves, fanbase is small compared to Pred & Alien
:(
On the subject of planned figures that never see the light of day because of under performing standards ...
There should be some sort of middle ground. Perhaps releasing a limited number of figures in upcoming series? Cut the production, say, in half? I won't even pretend I know the inner workings of production prices and logistics but there has to be some kinda way they can figure that shit out.

From twitter, for those who still think that prometheus series 1 sells a lot:
Q: how bout a 1/4 scale Engineer?? Any of them wud be sick. Like the chair suit.. Ohhhh myyyy!!!!
A: no chance, the regular line is marginal. no way to justify 1/4 scale. The sales just are not there
Q: honestly, it just doesn't make sense to me why there not selling!! They're just beautiful pieces.. I'd buy all of them

That speaks volumes about the film itself.
it feels like we should expect the line to end with David and Deacon :(
At best we'll get Shaw and Fifield as well... :P
Maybe they could just put those 2 up on an online store? .. :P
They will most likely end it at series 3 since there is some interest in series 3. I can see deacon being a seller but not a huge sell. As for David I believe that figure will sell then make its way towards the dusty clearence bin with neca hunger games figures. Mainly as neca has always said human figures don't have much demand. I understand Davids a android but still....
so basically David and the Deacon sells just well enough to do series 3, then series 3 sells bad and ends it all. if shaw and fifield is series 3, when the **** are holloway supposed to fit in?
I dont think most people will be sad if Holloway "bites the bullet".
No Shaw or Fifield release will be a problem, though.

im mostly trying to organize what we know. because holloway was a finished prototype previewed already before the fifield sculpt was shown, so i was kind of thinking he was together with david, which he isn't

I thought it was 'OK'...at best.
Some of the designs were interesting, but the plot was all over the place.
They chopped the hell out of it so much, it just didn't flow at all.
It's just not a game changer like ALIEN or ALIENS was.
I find that I even prefer ALIEN3 over PROMETHEUS.
With that said, I'm excited (and hopeful) for a PROMETHEUS 2.
if they cancel it all after David and the Deacon, someone needs to break into Neca and steal the molds and sell that shit on ebay.
Here's a look at the production pieces in package.
It's also nice to see just how big the Deacon is compared to the human figs.
It's actually much bigger than I thought it was going to be.

I'm definitely going to pick that thing up. Looks lovely.
GIMME.
I'm not the biggest fan of the Deacon's design (especially with the inner jaw extended, christ that looked bad in the movie) but I'm still buying both of those on sight.
Oh man I want the Deacon.
Images! Fifield and Shaw for series 3! :)

Im not into Prometheus figures but goddamn are these spot on. Shaw looks great.
These are amazing. I am so excited for them.
I see they have already labelled Series 3 as TBD(To Be Determined).
We must have Shaw and Fifield! Buy Series 2 people!
Totally picking up Shaw and David!
I bought the TRU 2 pack with the Engineer and Trilobite. Freaking cool. Haven't gotten any others yet.
I bought two pack, definitely will have deacon and suited engineer. I'm not interested humans.
Shaw looks great, passing on Fifeld.

Is it possible to close Deacon`s mouth? I was under imperssion we can close it totally but I`m not so sure now.
It's possible to close his mouth. A few of the teeth allways show up, though. I can live with that.
They are available on ebay right now...
but the prices are too high.. i'll wait a while till we get sellers with fair prices ;)
M`ka, good I`m releved.
The upper teeth are "sticking out" a little in that guys review.. in some of the promo shots they dont stick as much...
maybe we can actually tuck the teeth in.. enabling us to close his mouth completely?
That would be nice. :P
got my deacon on the way, the only figure i'm getting from this line.
Ebay? Or another online seller? If you dont mind saying.
I think I might grab the Deacon and David on eBay.
It takes forever for figs to make it to my TRU.

Hmmm...NECA is able to give us multiple heads (helmeted and unhelmeted) of David, but we have to buy multiple versions of Hicks and Hudson for helmeted and unhelmeted?
Come on, NECA...if you released a super articulated Colonial Marine with a removable helmet, customizers would buy them until the end of time. But very few customizers are going to want to hollow out a head every time they want to make a new Marine.
Got my Deacon figure today.

According to NECA we won't.
No Stickman...no original Pred design...and no Harrigan.
Shame, I`d love to see those. Then again thay said no about AvP Preds, and now they are happening. I think OP with Stickman could be relesed in two pack along with original (also never see in any film ) troophy. I`d kill for those.
Quick observations on the Deacon figure:
Just the "dislikes" for now...
- The neck joint...UGLY AS FOOK!
- No shoulder rotation...NOT COOL NECA!
- Not quite the right scale...it's as tall as the human figs, but was only about 4 feet tall in the movie.

Actually I'm pretty sure it was closer to five or even six feet, I think so many people think it was so short because of the enormous engineer it came out of wich probably dwarfed its appearance, and also the puppet was made to match the size of a scaled down engineer body, so the set images make it look tiny. Though I may be completely wrong, I'm still getting this thang :D
got my deacon today, and i'm very happy with it, looks good with my other alien figures.
Got my Deacon and David 8 today as well, life is good :)

No way...it would never have fit inside the Engineer's chest cavity.
Four feet...max.
i think the engineer was already dead. It probably took up his whole body.
For those who have the new Prometheus figs, did you guys order them online or are you finding them at retail?

Ordered them online from Superhero Toys via Amazon. They shipped out the day after I bought them. 4 days from order until arrival. :)
online,amazon.com.
I think superherotoys must be closet to neca's warehouse, because they always get neca figures before retail stores.
My favorite seller in Ebay got the series 2 this same Thursday.

Hmmm...NECA is able to give us multiple heads (helmeted and unhelmeted) of David, but we have to buy multiple versions of Hicks and Hudson for helmeted and unhelmeted?
Come on, NECA...if you released a super articulated Colonial Marine with a removable helmet, customizers would buy them until the end of time. But very few customizers are going to want to hollow out a head every time they want to make a new Marine.
But they will do it...and they'll pay to do it.
Ergo...NECA makes more money...and that's what business is all about.
Oh yeah, I own a small business, so I understand the business reasons. But they would have a pretty good return from customizers with an easier mod. Hell, I would do it if there was a removable helmet feature, but I won't do it if I have to start coring out a head just to make it work.

Im one of those customizers who would buy a lot of these ;D idk I waited to long for these to come out. So im ready to drop money but the only thing that sucks is waitng for the damn helmeted ones to come out.

The jaw articulation is both good and bad.
While it's open, it looks great...when closed, it makes the Deacon look like it's mentally challenged.
Why NECA couldn't have gone with a traditional jaw/neck articulation is beyond me. ???
And the neck articulation just plain SUCKS and the neck itself is WAY too long.
Here are some quick pics to show you what I mean:

And here are some pics to show what it should look like.
Like I said, when it's open, it's pretty spot on.
But when it's closed it doesn't flow into the neck right and looks silly.

I wonder if we can mod the mouth to close completely...
It doesnt really look like it would be too much work to create a fully closing mouth for the critter... but alas :P
god damnit neca lol
VERY glad I didn't get this figure :laugh:
Something about it just isn't right to me.

ERMAHGERD
I AM DEACRERN
Thanks for the information Sabres. Looks like a pass for me, definitely not going to get this one now. Bah!
Hope the upcoming ED-209 does not follow the same fate...
The Deacon would have been an amazing figure if they'd just gone with traditional neck and jaw articulation. :-[
That's what it must be. Something about it looks off. I have a feeling if it was made in 1/4 itd be MUCH better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWs0cHP8ko0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWs0cHP8ko0)
It looks shitter with each new picture I see.
it's sad that the neck is shit. i still need to get it to complete my collections, but im not as hyped anymore. and why the f**k are Holloway on the package if he risks not being released at all???
Honestly for you customizers who else is goin to attempt to make a x men first class magneto using davids head, I know I am ;)
Anyone try affixing the severed engineer's head to the chair suited body and make it a removable helmet headpiece? Haven't bought the retarded alien set yet and wonder if that works ???
Thx
Never thot of that huum ..

Was thinking of that just today. It would be excellent if you could somehow remove the deceased head and put the other Engineer heads in there and simply glue it to the chair suit neck.
I got series 2 yesterday from bbts. ^The severed Engineer head that comes with David 8 has no peg hole in it, so you would have to drill it out. The helmet fits on and off of the face like in the film, which is very cool 8).
Deacon comes with a clear stand with pegs which is interesting I guess, (since I don't know of any NECA figures having stands yet) I find he falls off it and stand up better without a stand.

Got mine yesterday too and I really love Deacon and all the extra stuff that comes with it. I prefer to keep him on the stand, alows more "crazy poses".
On the other side I'm not really happy with David 8 to be honestly. His waist is kinda loose and I had hard times on putting the other head on. Second to that I almost broke the ScanningDevice/Flashlight when I put it into his right hand and it didn't really fit, even my girlfriend had trouble putting it into his hand. Maybe it's just my figurine, don't know if anyone else has this issues too.
As for the severed head: it has indeed no peg hole, doesn't need to keep you from having fun ;D

And here are some pics to show what it should look like.
Surely there is a way to fix this? :[ I really want this figure, but man, that's ugly.
I just got Deacon today. That neck articulation is questionable. However I have found ways to mask it by putting him in poses that make it less apparent. On a side note, he looks like a reject Alien with down syndrome compared to the Aliens. I love the Hammerpedes and I'm glad they did not include them with David just to boost sales for him. I can't say I take interest in Series 3 or whatever the future holds beyond series 3 or 4, but I'd like to see a figure of the Engineer from the intro of the film.
Some custom work I did last night. Hope you likey ;)

i think it looks neat. i wish NECA could release a "decayed" repaint of the engineer that i can use as dead engineers and /or for the classic jockey look. it's not that i can't paint or anything, it's just that i'm the type of collector who collects figures as-is and i do not repaint them unless paint are missing totally

Personally, I'm thinking they will. Knowing NECA they'll do every variant possible before the line dies. Maybe they'll even do an Alien version of it and fill in the 'pegwarmer/paint tweak' slot for a future Alien/Aliens wave.

I know, it's damn near un-heard of. Legend. Myth. Belongs in fairy tales.
Checked my local TRU yesterday, no new Prometheus figs. :(
The Series 1 figures (and the Trilobite 2-pack) were on sale for a couple bucks off though. Maybe they're trying to clear the pegs for series 2.
A custom posted on their twitter:
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BFnEfnuCYAAe4GT.jpg:large)
This is extremely Awesome!
NECA should release this once more and I am sure I will buy one!
(Not to ruin the pressure suit body with no head)
Custom bases for sale. Made from solid resin. Goes well will the Prometheus figures
Will post these up on the to buy thread:
Picked up the Deacon at TRU, All Prometheus figures, sans Trilobite 2 pack were on sale for 15.99.
The neck and mouth is rather distracting, but the paint is far better applied than I expected, also pleased I didn't need to pick up the future Holloway to get a Hammerpede, the severed Jockey head is also another nice addition, with the more fossilized appearance.
Oh shit, I might have to check my local TRU tomorrow or something and see if they have the new figures in yet.
My neighbor is a fan of toys and likes to modify them, so I showed him a picture of the current Deacon Prometheus toy. He says he can pretty easily fix the disjointed neck and make it look show accurate, so I'll be buying one of those soonish.
Pretty excited! My neighbor is one of the coolest nerds I know, which is kind of an oxymoron but oh well :P
Woop woop, scooped up David 8 and the Deacon at a local TRU today for the $12.99 sale price, last ones they had too. :)
I definitely like David 8 more than the Deacon right now, and the likeness is good and he doesn't have "sloppy face paint" syndrome where his eyes are looking in different directions or something, which was the main reason why I didn't order him online. I wanted to see him in person to make sure I didn't get a dud.
The Deacon is cool, and I don't know that I mind his neck too much so far, but he's a pretty sad shadow when compared to literally any other Alien figure NECA has done. It's not NECA's fault - the design just isn't as good as the classic Giger Alien (or any other Alien design for that matter, even the ADI ones like from AvP:R).

I picked them both up as well. Deacon I ordered off TRU's site, but I stopped into TRU this morning in search of the Rocky 3 figures and found plenty of David-8s. Surprisingly, all but one had amazing paint. Haven't opened him yet, but I think I'll like him more than Deacon as well. I really don't like the design of his shoulder joints. Dunno what they were thinking when they designed it.

This isn't a knock on the Deacon or at least, I'm not trying to make it sound like it's one, because I don't completely hate it, but it sort of looks like the AvPR Alien inbetween chestburster and full grown stage.
How long is the 12.99 sale going on? I thought the 15.99 one was a steal.
Shame how they sculpted the deacon. Neck is ugly long and he has a clown mouth -_-
Going to but the engineer/trilobite package and the engineer suit figure though ;D

Just picked up a David-8 @ TRU on sale, gotta say its a really impressive likeness in person. I'd really like to see a deleted-scene Fiefield after the 'captain caveman' film-accurate one gets released.
I got in on that sale as well. But I had get into a "They Live" fist fight with the cashier in order to get her to go look at the sale price sign.
The things we do to save 6 dollars.
Shit, you should have done what I've done sometimes and gone and gotten the sale price sticker yourself and brought it to the register. Either way they have to go back to the pegs and put the sticker back. :P
I offered to go back and get it after I saw that it was becoming a problem. She called someone to check the price and kept the line (that instantly forms behind you when there is any kind of snafu at a register) waiting.
After an uncomfortable 4 and a half minutes of feigned interest in the consistency of our fingernails, someone called back and told her there was indeed a sale tag back there. She hammered the register keys as if she were squashing carpenter ants and practically threw the receipt at me like a Shuriken.
Next time I'll bring the tag with me.

Some info on Series 3. I'm a little vexed about these plans.
If this has already been posted, I apologize. Seeing as how NECA has teased a Series 3 accessory, this pertains a great deal to it.

not buying any "retooled" series 3 anything
Either put the line out you intended to, or can it NECA :)
I'm not seeing things from the business side like they are, but this doesn't seem to be a smart move from a business standpoint. Let me explain...
If sales of S1 and S2 are only moderate, you think releasing "retoolings" of these same figures will make up for slacking sales? If consumers didn't find a huge reason to purchase these figures the first time around, they won't bother getting repaints. Your chances of making more profit are now slimmer because collectors don't need to buy the same figures again. Unless Holloway is in the series. That way we'd be getting a new figure with a previous mold.
I say take the time and money to do your retoolings of Shaw and Fifield because at least that way you are giving us brand new figures and a good reason to buy a whole other series. If Series 3 doesn't yield a huge return then the line is done, but at least we got our main characters. The future of Shaw and Fifield just got a whole lot shakier by doing this, and these are the two figures us Prometheus collectors must have.
Well, holograph engineer , I will buy that.
But shaw and fifield? I will have a pass to them.
See why they choose a reboot to the Series one?
I am sure i am
not the only one having the idea. Series one sold out immediately in Hong Kong and series 2 , now still have plenty of them selling $25USD a pair right now right here.
Sneek peek of the Holographic Engineer figure...

It's NECA. Does it really surprise u at this point? :laugh:
If people like and buy the holographic Engineer, more power to them. I'll be passing on it, though.
One way I think they could have made it *really* impressive is to have made it out of translucent plastic, but with specks of light blue mixed in with the plastic. I don't even know if this is feasible or even possible, but in my head it would have made for a really cool (and much more "holographic") effect.
I might have even bought something like that, just because it would have been so unique and unlike any other action figure I've ever seen from them.
I think that's what we all thought it was going to be. Not a sky blue-dipped sparkle repackage.
Maybe he'll be glow in the dark.
Now that would be awesome.

I thought the same thing and asked Randy on twitter, but no answer yet :P
Hey. Just thought I'd share this bizarre little tip. Maybe some people will like it, maybe some will think it's kinda funny.
I bought the David 8 figure and Deacon, recently. Noticed others commenting on videos, about being disappointed that there was no jar or ampule included with the David figure. I see now that NECA is planning in releasing a jar with one of the future figures, but, before that, I was browsing stationary stuff, arts and crafts stuff, and other small objects. Plus, I'm not sure if I want any more Engineer figures. Even if I do end up buying it, it may still be cool to have additional jars on a little display base...
Well, I was looking through a makeup bag and noticed that the Maybelline SuperStay lipstick containers look like the Engineers' jars and are a fitting size for the figures. (All that the container needs is trimming of the lid because it's too long at the top, and then covering the lid's hole at the top. The lid is soft and easy-to-cut plastic. Then, painting it with some model paint or whatever.) The lipsticks are a little over five bucks at places like Wal-Mart and Target.
^ Genius! That can work, yeah! X)
Maybe it's an ancient alien super virus. Maybe it's Maybelline.

Lol I know it isn't perfect. I just wanted to see if I could try a different head. I used oil based clay. Painted in acrylics
Not my best work I know :-[
Bri
You'll get better if you keep at it :P
oil based clay... Tried using that to sculpt with bad results :P The material kept falling off as it got more solid :/ bought a batch of really bad quality :P
Lately i've been using paper and modelling glue to do mini sculpts with better results... built a mini deacon and a trilobite :) Still need to finish a lot of skin details on the deacon but i'm quite happy with the results so far :) next i'll try building Giger's Sphinx :P
Very cool stuff! Keep the pics coming. Custom stuff is always respectable.
Sad news about Series 3 in limbo... not surprised but not happy either. Fortunately, more excited for future Aliens toys.
LOL@ Poot: Because repainting strategy is best strategy.
From a company making money standpoint yes. From the customers (and fans) side, it's abysmal and annoying.
from twitter:
Q: Your sdcc exclusives are killer so far, all we need now is a Holloway ;)
A: Thanks, sorry no Holloway for SDCC
:-[
Well, one could assume that perhaps Holloway will be in Series 3 considering NECA's "retooling" approach. That might be their plan and decided to skip on an SDCC exclusive.
So mutated Fifield is the sdcc exclusive? And series3 will be hologram engineer and the Sick holloway?

I doubt we'll get mutated Fifield, if we get any Prom Ex. item at all.
As with any NECA studio tour, there are loads of easter eggs if you look hard enough. At the top leading off to the left corner we see the Prometheus prototype lineup. Most are familiar, but there is definitely a Vickers there.

That is just one assumption. My last theory about Series 3 is that it will have hologram Engineer(chair suit) and hologram Engineer(pressure suit). Makes good sense, the Engineers appear that way in the movie, why not? NECA doesn't need to spend a dime on new sculpts, just translucent versions of Series 1.
It´s probably its an old news but it´s that true that originally series 3 would consist of Dr. Shaw but later it was cancelled?

Well, most important figs (monsters) are already out so no big deal for me.
So no Dr. Shaw? :( :( Well, I guess I´m one of the few that are dissapointed with the cancel and no one gonna miss it.
If that is true, that the line is finished with Series 2, I'll be very disappointed. Fifield and Shaw were a must for my collection. I really hope they follow through. Time will tell.
P.S. NECA hasn't given too much time to marketing the Prometheus figures to begin with. A little more promotion would go a long way. Stir up some more interest in the line.
My custom decapitated David. what ya think? !

Hilarious that they are calling it "Series 3" :laugh:
I actually like the concept and if it ends up semi translucent I'll probably pick one up when they come down in price.
Sucks that we won't be getting Shaw and f**kedfield.
But hey, at least you got Holloway and the Deacon--with sooper scary squat thrusting action!
Holloway (with varicose veins action) is still on? What a waste.
Deak is dope. A little goofy in the neck region, but hey ... whatevers. The little bastard makes me smile.

But the deacon mouth IS NOT in nature. :P And the "Goblin shark mouth" idea on the final deacon was done in a much different way than the one intended by Carlos Huante. :P Dont have the concept art at the moment, but Huante's idea for the mouth opened up in a much more "natural" and logical way.

The uppermost jaw has incisive human teeth and it works in conjuction with the bottom jaw when it's not extended... I dont think it's THAT impractical... just really odd looking. :P

The chest burster was fantastic. They ruined it in AVPR though.
The Deacon looks like shit. Out of all the talent they had working on prometheus and all the concepts they had to choose from, they decided to go with the Dolphin Raptor design. Such a disappointment.
Out of all the concepts I've seen I don't know why they went with the Deacon and the "squid burster"
The original concepts looked a lot creepier, and would have made for more interesting figures.
Probably because Ridley is a bazillion years old and his mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. Also u have workers who wont say no to him because of his god-like reputation. The combination was a deadly mix.
It's known as The Lucas Effect. To see it in action, check out the Star Wars prequels (and read about some of the behind-the-scenes stuff re: all the yes-men he surrounded himself with).

The new figures would look so awesome riding into battle on top of bronies.
My local TRU's are over stocked with the originals.
For the people who have series 2 What figure is better the deacon or david because im not buying them both at the sametime.
Get the Deacon. Better looking than some human. Or in this case human-like robot.
I'm actually rather pleased with both of them. They did a good job on the pixelating effect going across their image.
I've decided I'll buy doubles of both to recreate some of those scenes in the film. I would also like to try my best to support it, because I'm still holding out for Shaw and Fifield however dead that dream may be.

plan is to, when i got all figs and the time to spare, i will build diorama sets for the collection. one set representing each film. and for Prometheus i am considering the chair room. for Alien a nostromo set, Aliens a hive set, predator a jungle set, etc. with space for each figure

Gonna disagree there - Deacon is neat, but I like David a lot more. It helps that he was a great character in the movie, while the Deacon, uh, wasn't.
Also those Holographic engineer figures look better than I expected them to, but I still won't be buying them.
I would still like to see them release like spacecrafts on a mini scale of course, this would also have to include aliens/alien/predator/predators/avp/predator 2 and all the cool ships
some online shops in China already receiving orders of the mutanted Fifield and Shaw, they said those would be released in the third quarter this year. Don't know where they got the info. , but i am not interested anyway.

I doubt NECA would do miniature vehicles, but there have been some other companies that have done miniature Alien-series vehicles over the years.
True, but still that would be neat since neca is getting better and better at their stuff.

I rather like NECA's new Holographic Engineer figures. They come with a really neat accessory and it helps a lot that I'm a complete sucker for toys that have interesting colors or materials.
That looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
What accessory do they come with?

One of the little jars of black ooze. Pretty neat, would be cool if it had some little Symbiote sludge oozing out.
And the jar does open up to reveal removable vials of the black liquid, just like David does in the movie.
Sooooooo, any news on whether Shaw and Fifield are happening or not?
Not gonna happen.

This. I saw on Twitter that Neca has no future plans for Prometheus. Good riddance imo, my TRU STILL has chair suit engineers and trilobite two packs.

Lol unfortunately, I agree. I still intend to have all the Prometheus figures, and I'm missing David and these two new ones. And yeah the TRU near me, same problem. Only they ran out of Engineers and seem to have a few Dutch figures lying around. And like 5 Trilobyte 2 packs.

Same here. They should have made models of the ships from that movie or a statue of the Space Jocky.
No need to just copy and paste the same comment, man.
Actually, I just looked over your profile, if you keep spamming like you do on other threads, with one word replies or just repeating yourself again and again, you'll probably be banned. So quit it or leave.

One word replies? I haven't even done anything like that lately.
And what do you even mean by repeating myself?
I don't think it was meant to you, but to Huntres something something. She deleted her comment though...
No, it was some other person who's posts have apparently all been deleted now.
It was directed at some idiot who got banned. Sorry for any confusion.
Hahahahahahahahahaha I knew this would happen! For those who are disappointed, I suppose there's always the possibility that the second film will be sufficiently Alien-related to justify a decent-selling toy-line, which could justify sneaking in Shaw and Fifield.
Hi, is this where I should talk about Prometheus figures? Or should I find a different thread? :)
I bought the engineer and trilobite pack last Saturday, I can't wait to receive them in the mail, to make it less painful of a wait I am watching a ton of review videos!

We have a Prometheus figure thread but it's probably buried. I'll find it and split off your post and merge with that one. :)
I picked up a David at the convention I went to a few weeks back. Twas my first Prometheus figure. I never got around to it when they were released but I'm interested in getting some of the Engineers.

I got the Chair Suit figure to open and it looks great. Also had the 2 pack vs. Trilobyte and it makes for a good mock up battle between my Ahab Predator and the Engineer ala Fire & Stone! Would recommend those two over the Pressure suit.
I got my Trilobite/engineer two pack in the mail yesterday! I love them! So much articulation! I love that you can bend the legs of the trilobite to make a ton of different poses! Plus the trilobite is much bigger than I expected it to be! :o
And nice, I need to buy the David figure!
Speaking of "resurrection" (but not that Resurrection), NECA just revealed that they're finally going to be releasing "The Lost Wave" of Prometheus figures next year!

Apologies if there's a NECA Prometheus thread around here somewhere. I looked but couldn't find one, so I figured this was as appropriate a place as any to post this. :P

Hell yeah! I remember NECA showed Shaw and the contaminated Fifield for series 3 but they were replaced for the hologram ingenieers due poor sales and costs of the past 2 waves.
Great news! Definitely this coming 2017 is the Alien year. :D
Great to see these figures finally on sale, its a shame there isn't a figure for the alternative CGI mutant Fielded which more closely resembles a Xeno.
Surprisingly good facial likenesses.
Nice. That Fifield is mine. I wonder if they'll make an alternate head available since there were technically two versions of the character.
sorry but as much as i love prometheus, and alien franchise, i cant stand neca
So out of curiosity, who all is actually planning to buy these figures?
I'll probably just get the Fifield and that's it.

So out of curiosity, who all is actually planning to buy these figures?
Myself. If job goes well, I would buy the entire wave 8)
ill probably buy Vickers for the head. Put it on an Aliens Ripley and get a robo hand to make Furiosa.
Not particularly interested, although I find them really well crafted, I got a crush on Fifield.
The likenesses are top notch.
I think it's great NECA are putting these out. I know folk have been asking for a while. The upcoming release of Covenant seems like a better time than any.
I'll likely not get them though as I'm not a massive fan of the human figures. Might get the Fifield one though - that looks pretty cool.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 13, 2016, 12:29:48 PMThe upcoming release of Covenant seems like a better time than any.
My thought exactly, since Prometheus now has officially a sequel.
Any guess as to why NECA is even releasing these at all?
I wonder if these will still be packaged under the Alien: Covenant banner and be the first series of the line. Considering when they are scheduled to be released, I am thinking NECA wants to hide their Covenant creature figures until the movie has been out for a few months so as not to spoil anything. That way they can use the hype of Covenant to push these figures first. Just a wild guess.
I'm actually excited for the aliens/creatures from this. More so than the human characters.
I wonder if Neca will release an egg pack feature these new egg designs?
They're always asked about the possability. I guess the renewed interest in Prometheus via Covenant has them convinced the line will turn a profit.
I couldn't be happier. I desperately wanted these figures to hit the shelf. I even bought that throwaway series 3 hoping it would help these get produced. I'm glad NECA has seen fit to release them finally.
I am so looking forward to seeing these released. What a great way to round out the series. And yes. 'PROMETHEUS' Series 3 was a little uninspiring.
Looking forward to seeing wot NECA's 'Covie' figures have to offer. A quarter scale neomorph, maybe..? Oh, my! wouldn't that be fun!

They're coming soon.
Randy posted a pic of Vickers in final packaging today.
Nice. Thanks for the heads up on that one. Posted on the site now.
-Windebieste.
I'm dying to get my hands on these. I remember seeing a prototype of Holloway on display at Comic-Con years back.
I don't know if Holloway will be available. The backing for the David 8 and Deacon figures certainly list him; but I think Holloway has since been cut - unless The Lost Wave Series 4 contains 4 figures - and that's outside of NECA's usual release strategy.
NECA stated at one point the humans don't sell as well as the monsters. We're lucky to be getting the Lost Wave stuff largely due to expectations from 'ALIEN: Covenant' will boost sales.
I'm also expecting quite a few figures based on the new movie. Maybe Holloway will appear in one of the upcoming series during the next year or so...
-Windebieste
There will be no Holloway figure.
Yeah. That's my understanding.
...on the other hand, a re-purposed NECA David 8 body with a fresh Holloway head sculpt. NECA do it all the time.
-Windebieste.
Not really a fan of the movie and didn't pick up the original waves, but I might get that Vickers figure.
Would totally fork out cash for a Vickers inflatable love doll; NECA action figure is the next best thing.
-Windebieste.
these are on neca's calendar for june 16th!
i cant wait
Toyark gallery of the Lost Wave is up.
They look amazing.
http://news.toyark.com/2017/06/05/advanced-look-prometheus-last-wave-neca-toyark-photo-shoot-254770
The fifield looks absolutely fantastic, Shaw looks good too. I Have these on pre order. Hopefully they will arrive soon.
they do look awesome
really wish they could've had them each come with a couple black goo canisters though...
I'll only try to get Shaw, she looks pretty good on Neca's standards.
This series is now available from Neca's amazon and ebay stores 8)
got the lost wave in today!
got 2x of each with the intent to make vickers out of suit, and shaw out of suit (dont have a body chosen for shaw yet), and to make ford in suit (the medical officer on the prometheus), but do not have a head for ford yet
for now, i headswapped and made 2 extra prometheus crewmembers (even though i'm fairly certain shaw, vickers, and ford were the only female officers on board)...anyway
THINGS TO BE WEARY ABOUT...
the flamethrower...it looks like its held by 1 hand on trigger, and another hand holding the top of the gun - DO NOT TRY TO DO THIS, the area they hold on top will break immediately do not even attempt it!
putting shaw's helmet on...be really slow, and gentle, its really hard to get on and off...you have to gently twist and turn if you just pull it off you'll rip the paint off her hair...just very gently wiggle it around and it'll find a way off
fifield - omfg his helmet...its almost like it was not meant to fit on him...you have to like stretch it to fit it into place...and putting it on and off...it takes a long long time...it will mess him up over time...i cannot seem to get it off or on smoothly at all...i wasnt even convinced it FIT at first...his beard and weird hair on the back make it almost IMPOSSIBLE to get on/off w/o ruining him
that being said...nice figures
still trying to find heads for holloway and old man weyland for customs on david's body...
and a ford head...
have custom fifield, janek, and milbourne
i want that holloway now more than ever...
i will find some other crazy messed up head for the extra fifield body...another person mutating...
here is my entire prometheus collection

Awesome pics, Celtic and Sabres!
I went to a convention yesterday and saw some of the earlier Prometheus lines at inflated prices. £40 for the Engineers, £60 for David, £120 for the Deacon!
Luckily I got David earlier in the year for £20!
Yep, the old Proemtheus figures are getting "pricy", fortunatelly I bought when they were released just in time! Sadly Shawn´s figure is getting pricy too :(
I really want people to reenact scenes from Spaiht's draft of Prometheus using the Neomorphs and Prometheus figures.
I just had flashbacks to the heyday of action-figure fanfilms. :laugh:
There were more but I can't really remember their names.
Man, I loved those videos. Brings back memories.
Here are some more Neca Prometheus and Alien Covenant pics.

Damn, the first one is so intense ! Looking good as always, Sabres.
I really like the Neomorph on the ceiling behind Shaw. They're more or less evenly match. The Neo has the element of surprise but if it makes so much as a single sound, Shaw could turn around and it would end up wearing an axe in its face. That will knock it off its perch. A few more blows will finish it.
Great sense of ambiguity as to who is going to win this encounter and keeping the viewer's gaze upon it, attempting to work out who the victor is going to be. Despite the Neo having an advantage, it's not as strong as a Xeno and we know Shaw is no helpless Princess in distress.
The other images are more or less foregone conclusions. Nice compositions, poses, diorama sets and lighting, too. In all of them.
Regardless, you're getting really good at these. Huh. :)
-Windebieste.
Where'd you get those sets Sabres?
Also, here's the rest of the ol Prometheus line.
