More alien merchandise i say!

nice patch belladonna, what site did you order from? my jacket is going to need one as well! :p

Great post and purchase belladonna! Would you mind including a link to your other, original post? I'd love to have a look around but couldn't find it right away. As for myself I'm the lucky owner of an 'orginal' Nostromo crew jacket. Original, as it is exactly the same British pilot's jacket used as a base in the Alien's props/costume department. A dear friend of mine then ordered the set of original patches and the Nostromo text for the back, applied them with love and passion, to then surprise me with it for my birthday. Unfortunately I 'grew out of it' a bit so I haven't got any recent pics. I guess I could take a few shots of it on its own. Will I manage to 'grow back into it' in time for the premiere?? Ha-ha, we'll see... Furthermore, I'm also a proud owner of a few model kits from Halcyon which includes the Nostromo, Narcissus, two Dropships, the Power Loader and the Sulaco. I could kick my own ass that I didn't go the extra mile and purchased the SJ, too. I had spent a fortune on that about 15 years ago but I don't regret it. A shame though that the company (Halcyon) went out of business a few years after. Hopefully, we will get collectibles of that same quality after the release of Prometheus, keeping fingers crossed.

I ordered a tshirt from cafepress with the Nostromo symbol on it, should be in the mail tomorrow! I am excited, hope the quality of the shirt is alright! I also got a Nexus 6 Tyrell Corp t-shirt! Woohoo!

@ Freeze Him!: do you mind including a direct link of where to purchase? Sounds interesting. Cheers!

Yes, I'd like to see your action figures. I remember a real cool Kane 12"with multiple helmets and face-hugger. Not sure if they'd made an Ash one with removable head. Speaking of Ash...... Did anyone notice what Ash goes for first when coming out of hypersleep at the bfst table? I thought it was a cute nod/hint to see him diving for the milk jug.

@ freeze at eBay!! they even have rank pins and id badges from the nostromo crew. [url=http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=nostromo%20alien&_sop=15]ebay nostromo stuff[/url] @ hal i would LOVE to see that jacket!!! i love model kits, would love to see those as well. here is the link to the [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/2805]action figure post[/url]

@abordoli: Ha-ha!! I never noticed. Next (probably 25th or so) viewing is due anytime soon, so I'll defo keep an eye on it. Wondering if it's still the same when he urinates though...

btw i got the night cougar alien a week or 2 ago [img]http://images.wikia.com/avp/images/5/54/NightCougar1-S2.jpg[/img] now im only missing the king alien and the arachnid alien and i have all the kenner aliens. woo hoo!

@belladonna: wow, that looks all pretty costly. But then u turn the penny on a patch?? ;) I'll see what I can do regarding pics of my collection. As I'm not exactly a star photographer I didn't bother yet to upload, rather embarrassing. Anyway, cheers for the links!

@HAL9000, I just did a search for Nostromo, I'm sure Alien would work too. Link below will take you straight to [url=http://shop.cafepress.com/nostromo]Link to Cafepress...[/url]

@BellaD, thanks for the link! Neat Night Cougar Alien toy!

Do those of you who collect figures, models and such, display your things somewhere in your house? I have some, but haven't displayed them, because without the stupid packaging, they're relatively worthless to other collectors.......and It makes the room look like a toy store when they're displayed "in the original wrapper." Boxed products can be removed, but anything in a blister-pack?.......not really. I don't know if I'll ever sell what I've collected, but like to keep my options open.

For the [i]serious[/i] Alien collector/fan: http://www.monstergalaxy.com/lifesize_alien_figure.php

@artyoh, oh wow! I'd certainly want to see how my dog's would react to having that alien in the livingroom! lol

@Freeze Him! It's a good one. They made life-size, fully detailed Predators as well.....but none of them are as cool as this, IMO: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/10921

@Freeze Him!: Cheers for the link, it goes straight to the UK version, clever! @artyoh: Thanks so much for sharing, that's a great link. I'm really am obsessed with the [url=http://www.smallartworks.ca/Gallery/Nostromo/Nostromo.html]Nostromo[/url] and I'm gutted that my model is in such bad shape (far too big resin parts, deformed over time). Maybe one day I'll get to it and restore it. Just like the guys from PropStore did with the original filming model. I'm sure you have all seen this. Well, if not, [url=http://youtu.be/9NoCsZvYeEQ]do have a look here[/url] and if you happen to be in the L.A area, give them a visit! ...as for great models, and in case you've got plenty of extra cash, it's always good to check [url=http://www.onesixthbruce.co.uk/hot-toys-2-c.asp]Hot Toys[/url] every now and then. Enjoy.

now thats a big toy!!! @ HAL i collected these guys since i was a kid, we were poor folk so i got to get one toy a week and i started picking out these guys. it took a while. i got the big queen in an antique store in new mexico for 20 bucks still in the box, i only take her out for pictures. id like to start getting them all over again still in the package so i can nail them up on the wall with my other figures. @artyoh sometimes if i need room i put the figures in a large storage bin in my closet but i try to keep them out on display. i recently moved so im going to put some shelves up on my walls in my bedroom and display all of them more neatly. i had the flying queen in her original packaging but during one very hot day the seal on the plastic bubble peeled off and she flew right out onto the floor from the wall. scared the crap out of me, guess she wanted out! we all know how hard it is to contain a xeno queen.

@artyoh Robby The Robot! Too classic! That'd be a pretty sweet coatrack! lol

As a model kit builder , l`m always on the look out for a per -order Prometheus ship

@ncc1701: good to know there are people on the lookout, I assume you haven't found anything yet? I'm worried that [url=http://necaonline.com/33284/blog/news-and-announcements/the-2012-alien-and-aliens-line-everything-that-we-can-share/]NECA[/url] will be the only decent stuff available, and apart from that we'll only get the crap ready-made, pre-painted polythureane models of RT-01's, etc.

LOL ,,,I just search it now , i hear you about the deatail of the model itself i wish polar lights would get the contract to sell it , but i would be happy with ATM

LOL, I can see the RT-01 released by PlayMobil or LEGO, in my wildest nightmares... ncc1701, you sure do know the old Halcyon models? I was mad enough to rebuild the interior + lighting for the Halcyon Aliens APC including the sliding door to be.. well... slideable. Had hardly any friends left after that, took me bloody months! haha Will go and have a look at Polar Lights now, never heard of it so far. But yeah, I'd go with AMT... or did you actually mean ATM?? I believe that's where you have to go first, before your purchase :D

ya ATM,,,,, ( l`m watching hockey at the same time ) The build l`m doing now is the Narcissus from Halcyon , just setting up led lights...... my wife just loves the dust collectors ...

Damn, my one is already done and dusted, too late to get LED's in. Honest, they just look better with a bit of dust and nicotine, far more real! Really should upload some decent pics of the models, would be nice to see some of ur's, too at some point.

will do ,,,but you`ll wait a while for the Narcissus to be done ,,, up next.... the 1/350 scale enterpise

OH!!!! which enterprise? i love me some star trek!

NCC-1701-A [img]http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/rob9401/NCC.jpg[/img] NX-O1 [img]http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/rob9401/NX-1.jpg[/img] Both will be a year build

ooooooooooooo! can you make a life sized lt. commander data model? hehehehehehe

@belladonna: clearly, there must be an inflatable or cut-out bilboard version for the time being!

hmmm..... sure ill take that >:)

@HAL 9000 Yeah, model railroader's call it "weathering." They use adhesive sprays and various chalk-dust colors, etc. to make their rolling stock look more realistic and enhance the sense of scale.

@artyoh: That sounds way too complicated, I decided to just live the life to the full right next to them, it will always look more natural, although I do sometimes have a problem with those way out of scale coffee spills...LOL

I want to see the finished product of said enterprise!

@belladonna, yes... i see meow what they mean, you do have some large hands there!

LOL what is up with the hand gag!? i have itty bitty lady hands! i see i will have to take some odd comparison photos today, any photo with me in it is odd after all.

love the toys. love the pics!
