"This is rumor control, here are the facts:"

3 Figures in Series Two

1 Alien Queen
Those are the facts.
Honestly, I am pretty disappointed about how they did the helmet thing. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the way these figures look, they've been my two most wanted figures since I was a child, but this isn't exactly the way I'd want to have them. Since they aren't removable helmets, I think they should have the yelling Hicks head with a headset on, and give us an alt. head with a nuetral face &helmet. As for Hudson, him I don't mind as much. The yelling face will look great with the helmet, since that's pretty much how he was facing Xenos(When he actually had a weapon, anyway.), but I still hope they do another variant with his smirk and hopefully another Hicks. And Sexypoot, you can spare me the whole 'it's neca, of course they'll do the variants' speel, however, it would be reassuring this time.
