AvPGalaxy Forums

Some new high-res pictures of an AvP2 alien figure have been uploaded to Figures.com. This figure is made by NECA and was shown off at Comic-Con at the weekend.

I guess this is the first time, the AvP2 alien has been shown in full (unless you count the stolen alien suit). Check the pictures out. Thanks to Pred weapons and tech for the news.

Drull    :P   I want

Wow.. love the head design..

sweet!!!

What's with the neck? It's huge.

oh... this alien is looking great i think... maybe his teeth should be littlr smaller but is not that big mistake...

Wow. Looks great. Although it looks not articulated? Isn't that weird coming from Neca?

I like it...but I hate how ADIed it is....why are they so obessed with the crappy tail, and the fleshy shoulders? Ah well...

Wow   :o  , great alien, i love it.

CelticP -  Was just about to say that. The neck and shoulders are very wierd.

AVP Alien with ridged head.Dissapointing tail.

I think that is a GREAT desighn. I love it, so much better than Andersons smooth headed Aliens.   ;D  

  :-\   teeth and neck. but hey, it will look a lot better on screen.  actually, that neca thing probbably isn't perfectly sculpted and the teeth don't look so oversized like 'hurr hay guyz'

Take a look at the only photo of the movie, the teeths are smaller, i´m not sure about the neck, everything else is great

Hicks: Its ADI...they have a hard on for that design....  I do like the articulation, its very nice.   I hear by call this alien Ruffles. Cuz he's got ridges.

Have made my comments on the relevant part of the forums. :)

Overall, I like it. It's a good design, it's just that...neck.

Yeah I agree.  I like it, but that neck and shoulders...  I thought Colin and Greg were supposed to keep an eye out on ADI making sure they making the aliens, look like the ones from "Aliens", because thats the said design the Strauses preferred.  I mean, if they make the neck crappy, just go "no no no" *hand picture to ADI of alien from Aliens* "THATS what it should look like."  ADI: "Silly US!" *group laughter*

I also noticed the inner jaw, looks exactly like the one from Aliens. Just the neck/shoulders....eh, screw it. The ridged head is back!

Its okay.  I agree with celtic p that it still retains to much of the Res alien in its build.  We had three straight designs that were different concerning the Aliens franchise, now we are stuck bastardizing the Alien Res design over and over.

Brill, i dont mind the teeth .. the head is cool and the penis bit at the back is ok overall design looks mean and interesting!

Dear Strause Bros.  Loving your idea of 'going back to the roots'. I totally remember seeing something remotely like that in one of the movies. I think it may have been Alien vs. Predator.  Keep up the good work,  SiL

I was expecting that, lol.    ;D  

Very nice. The ridged head is great. Well done !    :P  

Well, like I thought. ADI used the same Alien body as in Alien Resurrection and the first AVP, only changed the dome head(that used in AR and AVP) to ridged head and the same blackish-silver. But overall I'm happy that ridged head is look very wonderful! except the HUGE neck...   :o  

Wow Wow Wow    :o     :o  

Wow, this alien looks like a buck toothed beaver with those huge teeth. Dont like the fleshy shoulders either, and wat up with the huge ass neck?   ???  

I hate when people tryes to call the atention by posting allways the same sh*t posts    ::)   if you really think this movie will be like AVP maybe you can spend your time in other place SIL

very very cool !!! ooouuuuuaaaahhhh !   :o  

Sil = Some illiterate Loser. I am not sure how your eye's can see whatever it is you see when you look at the Alien. It very much resembles the Alien in Alien and Aliens with small additions.

Everyone wants to add there own bits to the Aliens.

I'm not illiterate, Invisible Darkness; I can read and write just fine.   ;)    If you think it 'very much resembles' the Aliens of the first two movies, you need to go back and re-watch those films. It looks like the recent Alien Resurrection/AvP design with small additions, not the other way around. It's still the old flesh-bags, but now with a new head and neck. That's it.  And Slipknot, where did I say this film would be like AvP? I said the Alien looks closer to those in the previous movie, not that the film itself would be the same.  And people call me illiterate!   ;D  

Don't attack SiL. He's entitled to his opinion.

You people must be blind or something.This kind of an alien is the same like resurrection and avp.The only different things are the dome and the neck(it's worse).My hope is that the aliens in the movie will look much better than this and the pic from adi's book about avp2 gives me hope.So get over it,the creature from the pics is a res/avp little changes design.I hope Colin clears this up and says that the xenos in the film will look less fleshy,the tails will look normal and the hands,the shoulders and the neck will look better.

I apologize Sil. My mistake for getting personal. I Should not have refferenced your name like that.

He's something to think about. That is a figure of 1 Alien. There are many Aliens stated to be in this film. This could be one of a few different looks. This is also the 1st anything of the Aliens for this movie that has been posted.

Colin please we need your opinion.

The neck and teeth are a little bit too big but I can see how it works because it makes the alien itself look scarier.....kind of when you piss a dog off and it pulls its "lips" back.

No...no, you don't. That's a picture of the Alien...deal with it.

The neck is different, but the ridged head is from Aliens. As explained, the ridged represent the age.

I can fill in for Colin!  "I like it"  There you go   :P  

Hicks, I'm not sure who you are responding to.

god we're nerds but I must add to it, I love the head design, neck a bit big, I wish the shoulders weren't so big that appeared after alien resurection, and the hands, the idea of two middle fingers being longer is cool but without CGI they look to rubber suitish, I think they should go back to ALIEN and have the six fingers instead. Still loving this alien, I want to see the pred sculpture as well because I own like 5 aliens as it is and aside from the head the design is the same. I thought the AVP 1 Preds were rushed and thats weird coming from Mcfarlane, lets hope these ones aren't just the same predator 2 body with new armor again.

Well ... imo the Alien looks great, like in AVP too.  The only one, i dont like is Alien Res, too slimy ... and .. i dont know ...   The teeth is a little bit big but on the one pic from the movie it looks fine so i dont care. I want the trailer -.- ...  greetz

Something Colin MUST answer is the alien sounds, they sounded badass in alien resurection but in AVP 1 they were too high pitched and I even heard an elephant sound in the pred shoulder shooting scene...why? I hope the hand to hand fighting is better that AVP 1 which I thought looked like to old men in suits fighting. MORE CGI

Neck looks retarded   :-\  

More CGI?  ..........

That's the only cure.Bring it!   :-X  

looks pretty sexy.

Quotelooks pretty sexy.  

Thats awesome. How about getting a room with it in my new hotel, I could use some customers. :)

So you want to film Adam and an action figure have sex?   :-\  

QuoteSo you want to film Adam and an action figure have sex?

  :D  

Well, it looks pretty much how I expected it would, so I can't say I'm surprised...just a little disappointed.  Like it or not, we're stuck with the modern ADI Aliens again.  As I've said before though, it'll all be in how they're filmed.

i dont like it

"Something Colin MUST answer is the alien sounds, they sounded badass in alien resurection ..."  ARE YOU KIDDIN ?!?!?!?!  Aliens in Resurection sounded like crap! This was so stupid ... omg ... cant hear that anymore -.-. Like stupid animals  .. whaaa  Best sound was in Aliens, hope in AVP2 they get the same sounds.  In AVP the sound sucked as well.  greetz

The only problem I have is the shoulders. I really like the back of the head. I would agree that it is more AVP than Aliens. But it may look a lot different on screen.

like the fact that the alien has only 2 joints to its legs (ignoring the fact that my fav desig is the alien '3 joint' (DOG/BULL OR QUEEN) design. the 'man like 2' joint aspect is scarier in my opinion... tho 'scarier' doesnt mean i prefer... not quite sure what to make of the end of the avp2 skull...it seems to be too layered. i'd be over the moon if there was an 'alien 3 dog' involved in the movie but kinda know theres no hope... fingers crossed tho... the film seems to be goin in SO the right direction in my opinion ...so far...  THO AS A LONDON/IRISHER... I CANNAE WAIT! please bring out the trailer asap.... LIKE NOW ALREADY PRETTY PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Predator toy from SDCC.   http://www.scifi.com/comiccon/gallery/index.php?p=18&cat=saturday

Oooh, Predator 2 Elder. Nice.

I have been reading what all of you have said. What's wrong with the neck, yes I agree cooler sounds are needed, The teeth aren't that big and they will look better on the screen, the ridged head is more original and I like it! The adam sex thing, um, no comment   :-\  

Wait wait wait...what kind of sex are we talking about?...I mean, yeah, cool alien...   ::)  

So the Aliens in this movie have supertails, clawed fingers, bulging necks and fleshy shoulders. As well as the Strause Brothers for accepting the awful design.  Looks like the only thing they got right was the ridged head, but it's not enough to redeem the crappy look.

So the Aliens in this movie have supertails, clawed fingers, bulging necks and fleshy shoulders. ADI fails again, and so do the Strause Brothers for accepting the awful design.   Looks like the only thing they got right was the ridged head, but it's not enough to redeem the crappy look.

it has four fingers what ever happend to the six fingered Aliens like the ones from Alien Aliens  the comics and the 1990's kenner toy line

I for one absolutely love the look.  It's very crappy that some of you are asking Greg and Colin to answer to these criticism which are baseless for the most part.  Why don't we wait until we see the trailer anyway?  That would be the fair thing to do, since toy replicas are hardly indicative of what we'll see on screen anyway.

So Im guessing McFarlane Is not doing the figures this time around?

Perhaps not, he released his 2008 line-up and no AVP2. I can't recall for sure but I'm sure McFarlane released the AVP line-up before the movie release, so if he is doing them, he is cutting it close.  He is trying to fund his next SPAWN film. He is doing it independantly from a major studio, so I would think he needs the cash.

I really liking this new design. Lov'n the new ridged head design (especially the back end) and I'm glad they kept the tail. I like the design for the neck, but it does appear a tad large. The two top incisors really should be scaled back a bit if it's any indication of what they're suppose to look like in film. I see the new warrior and the first thing I think is vampire. lol The early pre-production photo didn't look like that, though. So hopefully they didn't change that aspect.   Personally, I rather like ADI's design. Not quite as much as Cameron's vision but I still think it's pretty damn good. I think a lot of fans need to lay off ADI and Anderson. lol   :D  

I might have just confirmed my last point. I went to SPAWN.COm and looked under thier Intellectual Properties and ALIEN and PREDATOR are NO longer listed there.  So there you have it. Not really confirmed by McFarlane, but it would appear McFarlane Toys no longer has the rights to the Alien and Predator franchise.

If it is set on Earth why not spice it up and throw in a dog alien. I think it would be creepy to have the local pound with all the cages ripped open huh? but i know that won't happen. I don't know what everyone is getting so worked up about, its the same alien they used in the first AVP with a bumpy head instead of smooth. plus this is just a figure not a screenshot of the film. I had ideas for a good script idea, some are someone is locked in a room and can hear the face huggers in the airducts crawling around trying to get in. A way to get the human in the picture while they fight is having someone under grating like Aliens with less space kind of like newt in the ship where you can crawl while and alien and pred fight up above, maybe some acid can spill on the person. the dog kennels but I was thinking on an off world planet.

As long as the Strause Bros. don't have the predator doing flips, cartwheels, spins and human martial arts (i.e. the comics) I'll be okay.   ;D   lol  Fighting performance arguments aside, Iun White's portrayal was very much in line with Kevin Hall's. The body language and movements were very close. Albeit he was portraying much younger Hunter's.  Oh! And for the love of God, Strause Bros. PLEASE no praetorians!    ;)  

thats a shame about spawn.com, they make great stuff but did a sloppy job of AVP 1. I hope they get somoene with skill to make the next line. Spawn the movie? with luck better than the first but I'm not here to talk spawn. I always loved on the AVP 2 game how the doctor was forced to lock himself in a room while aliens were killing everyone outside and so he was forced to eat bodies in the room with him until mariens came. creepy and shows that he's got as much revenge in mind for the alien as ripley did. next avp should be a dead clone of the AVP and AVP2 games, they had a perfect atmos with the lighting and noises to distract you.

Can't wait to see this Xenomorph in action.    :P   Looks very aggressive and dangerous.    :P  

I was also pretty disappointed with the AVP1 toy line.  First off, they were a bitch to find in the US. Second, the Scar Pred can barely stand and the mask doesn't remove on mine.  Third, they have those huge chopper blades on their forearms.  Predators have enough blades on their arms.  And the plasma cannons are so huge they would probably fall over backwards in reality.    Are there any other companies making figures for the film?  Also, I feel alone on this, but I actually like the smooth alien style more.  This alien seems to bulky and ridged for me, even though that is the original design.  The neck is huge, but I like the tail

I would like to see a more slender Pred in the film in comparison to AVP.  They looked like WWE guys, hopefully they are more agile and stealthy.    Are the dreadlocks supposed to be longer like in AVP?

MrJ and whoever it is begging Colin for random questions, this has to stop now. I find it annoying and I bet Colin does too.

Whats he gonna say? "Uh...its an alien...toy...ok.."  Yes, its very Res/AvP, but dont blame the Strauses, blame ADI...they love that look, thats the only kind of alien they can do...so...

SO talking about alien/adam sex isn't annoying?

Hah, guys give it a rest,next time I will just say I like the design.

ADi has did it again. I have to agree with all disspointed people. Big teeth (maybe the figure is a bad sculpt). Fleshy looking (look ant those shoulders, even the tubes on the back) And the tail...  But the worst rhing ADI ever do has been the predator faces. Following the alien design, I am afraid we will see the ridiculous faces we have seen in AVP.  It lok like FOX doesnt want to spent the money in Stan Winston. They do not understand that the creatures are the main characters for most of us?  Just a coincidence...Decadence on the series have started with ADI since Alien 3 (Their best design), and now with the AVP predators

You Guys are something else, that thick ass neck is from the 1986 design of ALIENS, yes as in Alien 2, dont belive me, google pictures of Aliens and see what i mean

I think the design is perfect and some people should stop complaining so much about this movie.  we really know nothing about the film (this is an action figure people) not to mention we are lucky this movie is even being made.

Not to mention ADI is every bit as good as  Since Jurassic Park 3 and Terminator 3, Stan Winston hasnt done much anyway. not to discredit him, as he did create the predator, but still, ADI is full of way talented people, I think from what we have seen so far they have learned from their mistakes in the previous AVP film that were mostly the fault of Paul Anderson.

I said "Not to mention" twice... sorry.

looks realy like an alien from Aliens movie. Realy good designe. But i liked the alien from AVP first better.    ;D  

Could be better....not keen to be honest but i'd still like to see how they are in the movie itself before i can give proper judgement.

Well, my fave alien design is ruined forever, not even a damn biomechanical look, great.    :'(  

cmon.... its not that bad.... (personally I think it looks awesome) , design is very similar to Aliens design (at least head)

That's what I mean solid snake, the head, of course is awesome, but they are using the avp organic bodies, which is lame.

eaven tough it is the same or almost same body from AR I love it!!! arent the aliens suposed to be blackish silver?

HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT THE FEET OF THE ALIEN THEY ARE DIFFERENT

Tolerable - but less than impressive. I hope ADI's suits reflect how their Alien is supposed to be this time. Tall and slender as opposed to short and bulky.  Looks like the ridges keep going even at the end of the head, don't like it - ruins the dick look. Seems they fixed a mistake only to make another. At least in shadows where you can't see details it will look like the old head.

I think the dark atmosphere of the film will help with its design, like in Aliens. Cameron wanted more movement and flexibility with the suits to make sure they could BE scary, not just look it.

I'll have to double check, but I don't recall the necks being that thick in Aliens. As was said before, this might just be a bad sculpt.  Regarding the Predators looks in AVP, I liked it. First off, the body type WAS quite slim. It just doesnt look like it with all the protective armor and weapons equipped. When Celtic was stripped, he's far more slender looking. The mandibles, "lips", forehead and such moved much more realistically, and considering they were young adults, the shorter mandibles and extra teeth made a lot of sense. The only problem was the elder. Maybe ADI's budget ran short when they got to him. lol

You can't be too upset with the body design, it does look similar to a res body.  which i liked.  As long as it is not the weird alien from the end of Alien Res, then I am pretty thrilled.

Looks cool. More humanoid than the more recent movie designs, the leg joints for example.

I guess they were heavy armor preds, that would make sense.  And he does look slender when he did the ninja spin attack at the end.  I laughed my ass off, but it still looked cool.

Corporal Hicks | 31 Jul 2007 08:3576 MrJ and whoever it is begging Colin for random questions, this has to stop now. I find it annoying and I bet Colin does too.   what are you talking about? I'm not asking him about stupid little things, I think we all would like to know more about the sound effects

I hate it when people speak on behalf of film makers, like they're personal friends or something. 'has to stop now'?? this is a forum isn't it?

I do believe we will see other alien types considering the rural small town setting which contains many animals such as dogs, horses, bears, etc.

Personally to me, dis alien looks like da 1 from ALIENS n da body looks like a fusion of ALIEN RESURRECTION n AVP. I like da big neck n trust me, da neck is from d alien in ALIENS. Neways jus to say, D ALIEN FROM DA NECK N UP LOOKS LIK DA 1 FROM ALIENS. YES ITS BCK TO DA ROOTS! i m satisfied wit da alien except i jus dont like da leg designs, reminds me of AVP which sucked ass.

Sry 4 postin twice, but i jus can't watch da movie cause of my thetre which sux! i hav to wait 4 1 fckin hr n my dad doesn't allow me to do dat. Neways, there is an image of da predator unmasked 4 avp2 as seen in SCIFI.com/comiccon/gallery there is an image of da predator n he looks awesum. Looks like an elder predator cause of da blue hair but dont wry da head looks like da 1 in PREDATOR n da jaws look BCK TO ROOTS! Gd job colin i knew u were a pro aliens n predator fan! ima get da DVD can't wait 4 da trailer. Colin if u can reply to me, wad is da budget 4 da movie?

MrJ...in a news post...about figures.   :-X  

Head - 5/5 (ribbed for her pleasure   :P   ) Neck - 3/5 (too bulky!) Tail - 3/5 (prefer the old tail - the new one looks too much like an amphibian) Arms - 3/5 (too fleshy and muscled) Hands - 2/5 (two longggg fingers and two short ones looks stupid) Feet - 3/5  (dinosaur feet but not as bad as AR) Spines - 2/5 (too long, rubbery and thin) Torso - 4/5 - (skeletal design looks nice but less biomechanical than the first one)  Overall - better than the AR and AVP designs, but not by much.

Actually make that 1/5 for the neck - very distracting

Hmm, the hands and feet are smaller like in the AR version, not the giant ones of AVP.  The pelvic bone area is much smaller (not missing alltogther like in A1 and A2), reduced from AR and AVP.  The bumps on the back of the fore arms are now gone (again an improvement), and other than the shoulders, the skin looks less fleshy, and slightly more of a move back to the biomechanical.   Some here have mentioned the neck, yet it does look lessfleshy too.  Better than in AVP and AR, not 100% back to the A2 look.  I would have said the skin should be even less fleshy, get rid of the pelvic bone, which is now a hip protrusion alltogether, make the feet smaller, and have there be NO raised ridges on the tail, but it is not exactly like the AR or AVP design, simmilar, but not exectly.   THe minor differences are at least in the right direction.  I would have added the fore-arm guards from A2 back as well.  If the A2 look is what was intended.

scrath that, the feet are still too big, but not as bad as in AVP I meant to say.

Well, the size of the hands were the same in AR & AVP and they look about the same size here. Same goes for the feet, just different design (including the return to the humanoid leg design). The whole two elongated digits, thumb and such was first introduced in Aliens.  Although I kinda like the partial-fleshy designs that have been prominent in the more recent films, I agree that the pure bio-mechanical look is superior and needs to make a return. I'm suprised Colin & Greg haven't brought it back, what with all the hubbub about taking the alien back to it's "roots" (with part 2?).  However, were not going to know for certain one way or another until we actually see them in the film. This is just a sculpt, so we can't derive any legitimate conclusions until we see "the real deal".    ;)  

Yeah, for all we know this sculpt could look very different from the final version on film.  Especially if there are multiple designs in the film.

At the endo of the first AVP, when the alien popped out of the predator, it had the predator like jaw split thing going on...it would be cool to see that continue..

Corporal Hicks | 01 Aug 2007 08:12103 MrJ...in a news post...about figures.    get off my back already, I've seen alot more rude and insulting stuff on this forum than anything I've ever put on.

  :'(     :'(     :'(     :'(     :'(   Trailer please   :'(     :'(     :'(  

Really like this design. Colour's really good too, the closest we've had to the first Alien...    ;)  

The Alien looks good but you no wut the PREDATOR is gonna fuc* them Aliens up..I cant wait to see the predator tear thru them aliens with his new weapons and gadgets..I hope they look good..But the predator is by far superior than the alien and many people argue but only cuz of there interest in either film..The predalien should have dreads i dont see why not who cares about traits and like i said who is to say what traits it will take on, its an unknown alien species.xeno to be correct..Plus it looks better..The alien franchise had its day...The Predator franchise is what is going to keep AVP 2 going guarentee..The predator this time im sure will come out victorous..hahaha i cant wait to see the look on the ALIEN fans..lol..our turn..

f**kIN COOL !
