A company called Hiya Toys (http://"https://www.facebook.com/Hiyatoys") is making action figures of the aliens from A:CM.
They've been available for preorder on BBTS for those that care: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=180&company=1349 (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=180&company=1349)
Actually looking forward to these! Yet again, the figures and other merch end up being the cooler than the game!
How very true. I mean, if nothing else, at least we got some cool figures out of that terrible game.
Awesome! you know, say what you will about the game, but the alien designs in it are Awesome! I love that they are getting turned into action figures. how about the Crusher! or Raven?
I actually suggested they make a deluxe crusher figure or the like, and also more alien figures but with the different heads you can get in the game. They say they "may consider it," which is better chances than I could have hoped for. I also just now suggested the Raven as per your suggestion.
I've got all 4 of these little guys on pre-order from BBTS, apparently the Soldier and Lurker are ready to ship so I might tell them to ship my "pile of loot" now, haha.
I also just grabbed the two Play Arts Kai larger-scale Lurker and Spitter figures off ebay for a pretty good deal.
I'm pretty surprised that we're getting such cool merchandise for the game so long after the game actually came out, but I'm really not complaining, haha.
Indeed. It's good to be an action figure collector for the AVP franchise.
I asked on their Facebook page if they had plans for more Colonial Marines figures, and they confirmed that they do. :)
Excellent!
I got the Soldier and Lurker in the mail yesterday, the Soldier is really cool! The detail is good for the size scale, the paint looks good, there's some minor plastic "flash" I could trim off with some model kit tools and the joints are a little bit on the loose side (and it really can't stand up without the base, but I'm okay with that), on the whole I really like it!
At $20+ a pop I'd find it hard to justify "army building" with them in order to have them fight Star Wars or GI Joe guys or something, but I'm glad I dropped the coin to get one of them.
The Lurker is identical to the Soldier, but has a different head and a slightly different paint job. The Soldier has some brown drybrushing on it, and the Lurker is all glossy black. Unfortunately my Lurker was defective - it was totally missing the translucent dome over the top of the head. I'll be mailing it back to BBTS and getting a replacement.
Both figures come with a ton of alternate hands, but they're all so similar to each other that I don't really see the point. They also both come with a to-scale facehugger which is pretty cool, and the Lurker has a closed egg accessory and the Soldier has an open egg accessory.
I'm looking forward to the Spitter and Boiler, especially the Boiler. Based on the production photos it's not a straight "repaint with a new head" like the Lurker/Soldier are, it's actually got different limbs and stuff with the weird boils and growths and whatnot.
Defects are always a pain. It seems more than one company does the straight up repaint with few differences. NECA does that too. Personally, I don't mind, so long as the figures are cool. I preordered the spitter. If I had the money, I woulda ordered them all. Alas, I do not. Let me know how the boiler turns out. I think the spitter and boiler are gonna be the coolest ones.
I got in the Spitter and Boiler in the mail today, they're pretty cool!
The Spitter reuses a few parts from the Lurker/Soldier, specifically the upper arms (shoulder to elbow), lower legs (feet to first joint), and the abdomen. Everything else is all new, and it stands a bit taller than the Soldier or Lurker as a result. It's a bit top-heavy because of the head, but it's still super-cool.
The Boiler also reuses a few parts - the abdomen, the left leg from the knee down, the right leg from the ankle down, and the right forearm. Other than that, everything else is all new.
The Soldier is still my favorite out of the four, but all four are worth grabbing. I wish the price was a bit lower so it'd be easier for people to "army build" them, but I understand why they cost what they do.
If possible, can any of you who have the figures put some pictures on them with other 3 3/4 or 4 inch figures :-)
Hiya Toys announced on Facebook today that they're making a Powerloader in-scale with their Aliens figures.

Do you mind asking if they plan to jump on over to the Predator series? I think Hiya Toys could make excellent Predators. These Aliens all look wonderful. Considering getting a few myself.
I'll ask them, but right now they're working with the "Aliens: Colonial Marines" license so it doesn't seem likely.

You may not have to. I saw on their Facebook page, that people are already asking for Predators quite frequently. Hiya Toys has responded with "not yet". But they also said they're pursuing more licenses step by step.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see 3.75"-scale Predators from them.

Me too, I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet, properly at least. I'm hoping Hiya Toys will secure the license in the next year.
Time for a bump.
Hiya Toys showed a Raven and Crusher Alien prototypes that will be added to their Colonial Marines line.

Hiya Toys mentioned in an interview with Pixel Dan a couple days ago that yes, they've secured the Predator license.
Gotta say, love that they are doing the Colonial Marines stuff. The figures will be much better than the game. Although the human figures look rather plain... Love the Crusher and Raven.

It's kind of remarkable how the merchandising for Colonial Marines has been pretty stellar, even several years after the game's release.

Go figure (did I just make a toy pun?).
Game completely trashes Gearbox, Colonial Marines reputation as a title and is not accepted as canon by anyone and is generally disliked... but give it a little time and use the interesting bits from it and *tada* rekindled interest and sales. Again, I would rather NECA and I am sure they will in time but these will do nicely for now. Surprised that Square Enix didn't tackle them since they did Spitter and Lurker.
When I'm able to find the marines I plan on picking these up with some of their xenos. Their APC from SDCC looks sick.
If only the HT snap kits werent so damn expensive, I'd pick them up to use with these guys.
The Hiya Toys APC just went up for preorder on Big Bad Toy Store. It's $250 which is pretty damn expensive, but it also looks completely incredible. It's got working interior and exterior lights, and it seats a dozen Marines.
Time for another bump. They've shown at this years New York Toy Fair that they're expanding beyond the Aliens: Colonial Marines license. Some Predator figures are in the works.

I remember them announcing that at an earlier show last year, nice to see they've got some prototypes now.
Also their Raven and Crusher from Colonial Marines are up for preorder on BBTS, I think they both look pretty neat.

All four are up for pre-order at the usual sites, including their own official site. The rest of the
Los Angeles Hunting Party has been confirmed, as well.

Like their ALIENS figures, these are 1/18th scale, the same as the G.I. Joe: Real American Hero line.
It's a Predator action figure avalanche.
http://news.toyark.com/2017/06/27/new-hiya-toys-predator-2-figures-available-pre-order-257784
I don't own any of these brands of figures, but I'll like to see how those Predator 2 versions turn out still!
Alien Covenant figures are in development at Hiya: http://iearths.blogspot.com/2017/10/exclusive-hiya-toys-to-produce-alien.html
That's cool. I have no time for toys, though. They just collect dust.

Christ that APC is fantastic.
I really want to get their Power Loader, but $80 feels too steep. $50-$60 and I'd likely consider it.
Yes- the APC is sweet! I would have done anything for that back in '93. Depending on price I feel this may be in my future...

Given the size, complexity, and the fact that it lights up and is essentially film-accurate at 1/18 scale, I'm actually not that bothered by the price.
Yeah, if I was collecting the Hiya stuff I could easily justify the price of the APC. If you're collecting the Hiya stuff at least you'll be getting an APC, I'll never see one from NECA :laugh:

That's actually the reason why Star Wars toys are 3.75" - back in the day, it was prohibitively expensive (both to produce, and for people to purchase) vehicles at the then-common 6" figure scale. So Kenner literally invented the 3.75" scale, because it allowed them to make vehicles to go with their Star Wars figures.
Some packaging shots of the City Hunter.

Great pics JungleHunter87! Thanks!
I agree on the Elder Predator looking like a good pickup when it comes out. I also like the Lost Predator look as well.
Finally got my City Hunter today. Very happy and I really dig everything about this figure!
My only issues were: the smart disc wouldn't click into the side holster very well but a little glue fixed the hold and I can still remove it. And my figures wristblades came flipped/opposite? So I had to crack open a side of the gauntlet, flip the wristbaldes and glue it back in place but it was a smooth fix and everything is well :)

QuoteIn a short update from Hiya Toys, they have announced releases for a few items that have been in limbo for a while. The big news is that the Aliens 3.75″ Scale APC (Armored Personnel Carrier), which was put on hiatus after lower than expected pre-orders, will be released! The massive carrier is set to be released in August. The vehicle will hold at least 10 Colonial Marines figures, and includes LED light up functions.
For fans waiting to add to their 3.75″ scale figure ranks, it looks like June will be a big month! Anyone who has a number of Hiya Toys items on pre-order will finally see these long delayed figures hit shelves. In the update, they announced that five Aliens: Colonial Marines 3.75″ Scale Figures will be released. Those include Colonial Marines Bella Clarison, Jeremy Cruz and Jennifer Redding as well as the Crusher Alien, and the Raven Alien.

Nice update, thanks Hicks! The APC will be a great item but way expensive for sure I bet.
I'm hoping Hiya releases a preview look at the Neomorph figure if they're still doing any covenant items?
I hope they go with the designs that were present in the final film.
and go easy with the translucency on the domes.
How do these compare to the NECA figures? I know they are about half the size but what about the detail and posability?
I reviewed Hiya Toys' A:CM Boiler figure (http://www.hideousplastic.com/?page_id=2689) some time back.
I expect the quality of these upcoming items to much the same. Which would be a good thing, actually.

Neca's detail is much better for the price imo. The armor is more accurate and so are the faces on NECA's stuff. Hiya's isn't bad for the scale, but leaves a bit to be desired.

Got it. Won't be jumping over from Neca to Hiya any time soon then. The Colonial Marine game figures are not much of a draw either. Neca was supposed to make them at one point but dropped out probably because of the quality of the game. The APC seems nice though, would be great if Neca made one.
As you could probably guess, I'm quite hype about being able to buy one of my fav xenomorphs c;
I mean yeah he came from a sub par game but The Raven was one of the only stand out sections and I quite like the design/Potential - either way I'd love to know a potential release date if anyone knows round about when that is.
otherwise I just need to buy a grid alien figure and I'll have all my boys (I have 'kane's son' already) kinda sad I'll never see a Six figure, unless there was one I missed aha.
I'll buy raven for sure because I do like him even if the detail is not as great as Neca's
he can sit with my Giger alien, my warrior drone and my red xeno's c:
Hiya just dropped this on Facebook. Can't wait, just hope the face is good up close as well.

Looks great! Hopefully the joints have a little more durability then what I've seen on past reviews for alien figures. Still, looking forward to the Neomorph as well :)
New pics, Neomorph is a bit of a letdown. Wish it was more screen accurate.
Also, they totally recycled the hands and used them for both figures.

For those of you guys that have both NECA and Hiya Toys Colonial Marines figures, which would you say is sturdier?
I have both versions of Hicks still in the package but just curious because I've read mixed reviews of NECA's quality in terms of figures breaking.

Thanks for the share bobby brown! I agree the Neomorph is eh, not the best. I would have preferred an open mouth version, but I will wait to see some actual product pictures before making the final say.
The Hiya Toys Neomorph will ship with an alternate set of hands as well as a different head. Presumably, with the mouth open and/or maxilla extended.
-Windebieste.
Some additional pics up at big bad toy store.
Got the City Hunter from Pred 2. Can't wait to get Jungle Hunter. Amazing figure, even if it's small. If only there was the Dutch special forces G.I. Joe sized team to go with.
Just scrolling through random Hiya pictures online and came across a few of these from the Toyark webpage.

The Xenomorph looks great in this shot! & I like the facehugger/egg accessories too ;D
May have to pass on the Neomorph when these finally come out though...

Gorgeous sculpting. Especially for such a small scale.
They almost look like they're made of glass.
Just got a notice that my ACM Raven Alien order is ready for shipping, that probably means the Crusher isn't far behind.
I saw the Raven and Crusher up close at my comic shop. They looked great, and if I collected Aliens stuff in this scale I'd totally pick them up.
Here's a real good in-depth review of the Raven:
I got mine and aside from some issues standing, it's a really cool figure. It's much more articulated than I expected.
Video review for the Crusher as well:
Would you mind posting a photo of a size comparison of the Raven and Crusher with a NECA Alien and Predator figure?
I don't personally have the Crusher (yet), but I could do the Raven, sure. I'll include a couple other figures from different lines and scales so you can see how they scale with each other, as well.
Definitely plan on getting a few of these in the next week or so. I will make sure to share my impressions, and post them next to other 3 3/4 scale figures.
My Crusher Alien figure just shipped, really looking forward to getting it in hand.
APC's are shipping this week.
Oh the temptation...

I'm willing to give any company a pass and make 1 Big Chap (since it's Big Chap), but yeah I'd like to see more random stuff from them. Hiya Toys' Colonial Marines stuff was actually really cool, I really like their Crusher and Raven.
Hey remember the power loader that Hiya Toys made that was, like, $100 or something stupid? It's currently up for preorder on BBTS for $40 (https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/21113), which is a lot more reasonable.
I had the covenant alien, it looked good and was movie accurate but the joints got loos and wouldnt stay together and the hand broke off. I ended up gluing all the joints so now its just a statue on my dashboard.

I doubt it. All of their other Alien figures have mouth articulation. But you'd think they'd have some closed mouth pics.
these are slightly cheaper than the neca figures but I wouldn't say they are worth it, however, you get more with them, which is why I bought a few, looking forward to a wolf someday :P
Word to the wise too, if you want the jungle hunter design from Hiya for a display, don't get the one actually labeled "Jungle Hunter" because it's all reuse of the elder predator body, so you get the straps around the gauntlets etc. Get the "armored captive predator" from "Predators" he looks much more like the original costume and serves me well in my display.
Happy hunting! ;D

Ill probably stick to my Neca Queen, but I love the personality Hiya brought to it.
It looks cool, but the flange on the sides of the head bothers me.
I wonder if she'll cost as much as the neca one. Not big into the queen but id pick this up and have my hiyas fight it on the shelf if it's like 30 instead of the neca price, can't splurge that much these days :D
It seems quite affordable, like around 40$ mark.
I've never really found the Hiya stuff appealing. I've got Boar and that's it, and that's just because Wyatt Weed was kind enough to sign RidgeTop and I copies after we had the chance to chat to him. But I've got to admit I've really been liking the looks of some of the upcoming releases they have been showing off! If they look as good in person, I think I'm going to be snagging a few!

I really wish I saw more Hiya locally. They only ever seem to have the Colonial Marines stuff in my local Forbidden Planet.
I want the APC.
Yeah that apc is sweet. I have a tiny hiya predator and its pretty cool actually.
I'v seen them at a few places. Toronto is an hour and a half from me and there are several collector stores in Niagara as well so its not that hard to find this stuff. I like Hiya and are usually Around $25 but I find that the joints get very loose, it's hard at that scale to have alot of detail and articulation and still be durable, Hiya toys is about the same quality as the Hasbro starwars figures but are a bit more delicate (my covenant xenomorph's wrist snapped while trying to strangle a Jurassic world mercenary) and I have almost bent Batman's gauntlet blades several times.
I'm new to Hiya, there's a shop down the street that has the greyback predator for $25 but it seems like for $5-$10 more you can get a Neca Predator.

ya, they're around the same price or cheaper than neca. They're $20-$30 here in canada and neca is usually $30-$50s. It's funny how pricing works, last year I paid the same same price for a 4" and a 20' Batman figure.
I have the Shaman Predator, the sculpt and articulation design is very nice, but the assembly and paintjob are frankly awful. I might have a crack at fixing it, eventually.

You not throwing them up on the front page?
Does anyone here happen to own both any of the Hiya Predators and the Jazwares 4 inch Halo toys? I was curious to see how they scale with each other.
Has anyone ever ordered direct from Hiya? I placed a couple of orders a few weeks ago for in-stock figures and they haven shipped yet. Is this normal for Hiya?
I have not, though they send me stuff for photography and review direct.
If I'm purchasing my own I typically go through Big Bad Toy Store.
I'd recommend contacting them for a status update.
I came home to the order in my mailbox yesterday so they did ship it quickly but they either didn't send an email telling me it shipped or it ended up in one of my spam folders. All good now.
It's only me or runner feels weird? I mean - the head looks too short or shifted back.
The head's not long enough but otherwise it is correct.
There are actually two different runners coming, one meant for two legs and the other for four.

They still can't get the leg positioning right. I would've thought the point of doing a four legged version would be to accomodate the knees going forward, not down, but noooo.

It's most noticeable when it's found mauling a prisoner, but that's not in the above. Basically the thing keeps its chest low to the ground, so the legs mostly go forward and out, not down.
Fair enough :)

Probably pretty difficult to get a figure to be THAT posable, unless they were to use bendy wire, but yeah you'd think if they're making a version specifically for the four-legged positioning they could manage it. Would be nice to get another Kotobukiya statue of their excellent sculpt in that pose though.
Looks like Hiya is doing a similar thing with their Aliens warrior figures as well:
Aliens Alien Warrior: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/130574
Aliens Alien Warrior (Crouching): https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/145877
Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to have the range to go from two to four legs in that pose. But since they're changing the neck specifically for that posture, it would've been nice to see them change the legs.
Guessing it's a lot easier to just swap out the head sculpt than half the limbs.
These guys are kinda to scale with the JP legacy human toys.

I think ji goe, Starwars and spin master Batman are all around the same scale, I was using a generic Jurassic world mercenary with my Covenant Xenomorph but the wrists broke off. Hiya doesn't seem to be very good quality all the time and I think should be $10 cheaper.
What about the jazwares 4 inch halo toys? Do the Predators scale well enough with those? Anybody have both?

Since I collect in this smaller scale I'm always pumped for these things. The Predalien is a figure I've been wanting NECA to remake for awhile before I changed scales so I'm glad Hiya has done their own.
Hiya has said they're doing Rambo figures so hopefully that means some military figures we can use with the Predators.

There's a ton of great figures in the same scale from JoyToy and Toys Alliance.
Recently it was announced that Hiya will be doing 6 inch Judge Dredd figures, in addition to 4 inch figures. I wonder if that means they may do 6 inch Predators at some point.

Sounds like would conflict with NECA's line. But who knows.
Agreed - NECA has the license to do 6" scale Predator figures (even if they're doing f**k-all with the license right now IMO), I doubt Hiya would be able to do it.
It's the same reason Funko POPs for Marvel and Star Wars are all bobble-heads - Hasbro has the license for "figures" at that scale, and bobble-heads are a sort of loophole work-around that lets Funko make Marvel/Star Wars products at that scale without infringing on Hasbro's license.

NECA has stated that they STILL have the Alien license. But now with Disney owning the rights they've got more hurdles to jump to get approvals.

That doesn't necessarily mean it can't happen. Look at Marvel Legends, MAFEX, and SH Figuarts. All competing for the same market. Adult collector grade. Competition for more 6-7 inch scale Predators is good IMO. I'd like to have a few extra options.
Aren't MAFEX, and SH Figuarts Japanese companies? Maybe that makes a difference. Who owns the rights to Batman vs. Predator?
Mafex and SH Figuarts are a different "collector's market", they aren't mass market retail like Marvel Legends, which you can find at Wal-Mart.
I would love to see them create figures based on the new Xeno types shown in Fireteam Elite. Even their Drones and Warriors are different enough from the original Giger and Cameron designs to warrant a different or altered mold.

Gonna grab these two to hang out with my upcoming Hiya figs.
JoyToy 's Skeleton Forces....That shit is like...What?
Its pretty cool that a toy company could put out a toy line inspired by this and that. They did so with some 70s tvshow but updated it, some other exoskeleton stuff. Its a niche kind of cool.
I would love to see some of the video game Aliens/Predators made as well. Comics as well.

We had several from Colonial Marines (Raven, Crusher, Spitter, Boiler, etc). Nothing from the comics or games for Preds, yet. I'm sure they will eventually since they already set the precedent with CM.
I have the Raven and Crusher. Missed out on the rest and they are expensive now. I would love to see a re-release of them I'm not holding my breath.

One thing about Hiya is they seem to be active on their social media. Wouldn't hurt to let them know what what is want.

The Raven and Crusher figures are really, really good.
Say what you will about the quality of the game, Colonial Marines spawned some damn fine merchandise.
Took some pictures of the Hiya AVP Preds recently.

They look to bulky but that is movie accurate. I have ordered the AvP Requiem alien but I don't think uts out untill the summer. Every other hiya figure I,v had had either broke or had dome error like to left feet or thigh. I wish they sold them at more stores like Walmart and Toysrus because they expensive online and thr shipping. They cost over $30 Canadian in the end and I don't think itsvalays worth it. But I have seen some of the new Starwars figure cost over $30 at places like Walmart and there similar in detail and size so maybe everything is just going up in price.
Gamestop carries them in Canada, of you have one near you. $24.99. They have a few available to pre-order on their site right now. Also check your local comic store. They might carry them as well.

that's were I ordered the avpr alien but theres still shipping. I perfer to see them first instead of ordering. There arnt alot of comic shops in my area but I'm less than 2 hours from Toronto and Hamilton and it's no problem find pretty much anything there.
Review is up for the Hiya Predator AVP Hunting Trio & Alien 'Big Chap' figures. Check it out here (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/website/articles/hiya-toys-figure-reviews-big-chap-avp-predator-trio/).

I got the queen Hiya figure and it looks gorgeous. Better even than the picture, in person the flaps on the sides of the crown are not like in the pics.
However when I took it out of the package the right leg broke right off. So much for better QC than Neca..
Hopefully they will replace.
That sucks, sorry dude.
Not a big deal really, still excited for the replacement.
Really happy Hiya made an alien queen that is affordable. I didn't have a queen figure yet and Necas is too big, too heavy, and too expensive for me.
Also there is something very strange with the box too.
This is from Big Bad Toy Store so it has to be legit and not a fake right? However alien is mis-spelled on the box....
It says Aline Queen lol here is a pic
(https://i.imgur.com/JUryCL4.jpg)
Big Bad Toy Store is great, I order from them all the time.
I don't expect you to have any trouble with a replacement from them.
Yeah the typo is on all of them, it's not bootleg. Not sure how that got past QC.
Glad to see she doesn't have the wider head flaps like in the marketing pics. They also have the Resurrection and AVP queens coming. Think I'll be nabbing one of those.
Is there a list of all alien figures they have released so far?
Would argue revoltechs alien queen is better and necas at the top. Have 2 of them xD This one is too cartoony in its design so rank it 4 with mclanes. But that is just my preference :P
Hmm alien resurrection one, any pictures of it released yet? :)

Looks like Hiya may be moving into 1/12 scale:

Hiya Toys announced their 1/12 scale toyline. Called Exquisite Super Series. No sign of Predator or Alien yet though.

Thanks for the info, I can't believe they spelled Aline on all the boxes. Someone got fired for that one I bet. BBTS is going to replace and I can keep the broken one also. I just noticed the crown can slide down to sheath the face like in the film, neat.

I can't see how this appears cartoony in any way. It's like a smaller neca queen and looks pretty movie accurate as far as I can tell.
Not a fan of the Revoltech queen at all.
The typo is just on a few Aliens Xenos not their other figures. They're a Chinese company so English probably isn't their strong suit. Their older boxes had a few typos as well. The way I look at it their English is better than my Chinese so you can't be too hard on them.
Got my replacement today. Soon as I touched the arm it busted off at the elbow joint... Thankfully they let me keep the original broken one so I used it for parts and replaced the arm on the new figure.
In the end I'm a little less than satisfied with everything. but I'm also super depressed so hard to get excited about things.
Anyway..

Sorry you had to deal with the hassle. In any case, she looks good!
Yeah it looks I pretty good imo.
Also I can use the broken one for parts and for cool poses anyway.
(https://i.imgur.com/Hl55AcG.jpg)
Visually it looks really cool, but it sucks to hear you suffered from the dreaded quality control issues.
Why can't figures just not break?
That's the issue with the Hiya figures, they can be a scary to move around. The Predators are pretty solid now with the joints but the Aliens feel fragile. I've only had one break on me but broke the instant I touched the leg. Luckily it can be glued but it still shouldn't be breaking.
It's fairly easy to pose, so I like that. The Neca Queen looks heavy and not really easy to change poses based on what I've seen/heard. I was always worried about that when I thought about getting one. I'm pretty happy to finally have a queen figure, for me it's been a long time coming.
(https://i.imgur.com/lgZTlnD.jpeg)
She's gorgeous, congrats !
She is indeed a thing of beauty.
I finally got the 'Aliens' Alien Warrior (or as the packaging put it, "ALINE WARRIOR") and so far I'm actually not that impressed. It feels a little delicate, especially compared to other Hiya stuff I've got, even compared to their old 'Colonial Marines' Alien Warrior. The mouth doesn't actually close and looks a little goofy, the alternate set of hands are almost identical to the regular set, and the head articulation in general is kinda questionable.
Maybe I'm being too hard on it, but I was really looking forward to this one, especially since I really like their Colonial Marines version. I figured years of advancements and experience plus being faithful to the movie design would make this a slam dunk.
The Avpr Warrior alien was delivered yesterday.

I got their wolf predator (since neca will never release theirs..) and although it's pretty decent, it's super annoying that you can't put his arms straight down (like their other figures do).
I swear, what does somebody have to do to get a perfect wolf?
And please nobody tell me to get a hot toys. I don't believe in dropping a half of a g on a stupid figure

Depends on the quality of the figure, Hot Toys stuff can be totally goddamn fantastic sometimes. $500 is
a lot even for a Hot Toys, but it's not unheard of (especially on the secondary market).
I'd like to see Hiya Toys do AVP 1/12th tbh, just to see what it's like.

The AvP 1 figures had this problem as well, though their other Predator figures didn't. Very strange given Wolf is much thinner in the chest than Scar and the rest.
While they're not really new anymore, I picked up some Hiya figures and did a review.
Nice lighting.

Outstanding review!
Fun and charming review as always, Mike.
Also put together a little unboxing video of the Dog Alien variations from them:
Look up doesn't really live up to it's name sadly, kinda not a great look when the NECA AFE Runner can do all of the above and more, a gorgeous sculpt though.
Nice one! It's so good seeing the website with constant news from both franchises. Makes me so happy.
Man I really need to get a Hiya to open and handle! These reviews are really making me want to dive in.
If I got one in particular, I'd have to say it'd be the above.
The Dog Look Up is a great figure. My second favorite of the line aside from Big Chap. Predalien and the New Boen are really nice as well.

Works fine for me too. Could they have been doing maintenance when you checked?
https://www.hiyatoys.com/
Could be, I'll check again later today.
Just picked up my second Hiya figure, battle damage Celtic. Still in the box for now cause I want to do a display with all the AVP figures. Really the only thing I dislike is the scaling. Annnnd that it's the only way I can get a Celtic figure without spending out the nose for Neca or Hot Toys. Kind of annoying really. Seeing as Hiya has a Grid that's next on my list along with Chopper.
Ordered a Hiya Toys Big Chap on Thursday and it arrived today. QC is horrible. The dome sits crooked and off to the side, and the inner jaw is sideways. Also, extremely loose leg joints.
He's going back, for sure.
I wanted to try out something from their Aliens line, but that was certainly a disappointing first attempt.
I feel like if I try to load too many tabs or something it instantly crashes the site and I can't do anything, I don't understand.
Like the site was working okay for me a few minutes ago but now it's down.

Oh don't worry, you can't hide, I can smell your fear.
No new announcements from Hiya in a good long while. Hope they didn't lose the license.
They did.
Shame, but they put put almost everything from the films, Prey and Prometheus aside so at least we got that.

indeed. Would kill for a Hiya Working Joe or Isolation Alien.
Just discovered Hiya Predators but now I hear they lost the license...Is anyone else new getting the license then?
Scored a Hiya Aliens: Colonial Marines power loader for $50 today, I'm stoked.
Any chance they regain the license this year, considering Romulus?
There's a chance for anything, but I can't see this one happening. They let the license go and didn't really show any signs of extending or renewing it. Hiya doesn't seem interested. But that could always change down the line.
