Tracker Tube Replica

SD Studios has started a joint-venture project with Stephan in Germany for creating a run of electronic Locator Tubes from everyone's favorite film... Aliens. These will feature sound and light functions identical to that seen in the film. Please note however, that it won't actually "track" anything using micro-sonar... we can't exceed the world's currently available technology/ size limitations.

Click here to check out a video of the prototype electronics model.

Here is a brief rundown of the electronics functions: 

Switch position 3 = press and release

The electronics have two, push-button functions which are selectable through the end cap knob:

Switch position 1 = press and hold

-Press and hold the push button to count down until you release it
-Press the push button momentarily to count down in 1.0m increments (so you can set a specific range like "35.00").

This option is designed for using the prop in your hand. You can secretly press the push-button while walking - it will look like you are counting down distance to the target.

Switch position 2 = off

 -The locator won¹t do anything. It is off. What did you expect?

Switch position 3 = press and release

-Press the push button momentarily to starting the count down automatically
-Hold the push button while it is counting down 1.0m for pre-setting (like above)

This option is designed for using the tube taped to your PR. Just start the auto-count-down and move forward with the rifle- ready to blast aliens (or Newt...someone needs to do it, right?).

Counter and beeping sound will start at "99.9" and beep tone will go faster as it counts down.

They have used the same beeping interval as you can see in the movie at "49.4", "22.8" and "00.0"

After reaching "0.00", you will hear a continuous "beep" tone.

Toggling the tube off will reset the beep tone and counter to "99.9"

More on AvP 3

Now even more info and pics of Rebellion's THIRD Aliens vs. Predator can be found at Kotaku here!

Most exciting is that the Predator class is now no longer just a Marine that can turn invisible. More in line with the species' abilities in the movies, you can now jump and glide between ledges and branches. Think Zelda's Hookshot, or the zero-G sequences in Dead Space, only it's now more suitable for you to be gurgling "motherfucker" every time you do it.

The aliens have also been tweaked, and will now move more slowly than they did the original PC game (which is fine by me, as they were too fast in that game). They will, however, retain the ability to scale any surface, meaning you can still run all over the walls and roof.

The game is also being pitched squarely at an adult audience. A report describes the Predator's signature move being one where he picks up a marine, snaps his neck, then tears his head off, which is followed by his spinal column. Once off, the head will continue to blink and gasp, and...well, yes, you get the idea.

Aliens #1 @ Westfield Comics

Dark Horse's all-new relaunch of their Aliens comic series starts with issue # available at Westfield Comics.

A group of wildcat planetary prospectors plant their flag on a distant new world, rich in land, resources. . and mystery. Within this seemingly uninhabited planet lies the greatest archaeological discovery in history, an ancient, abandoned complex of impossible proportions carved deep within the living rock, a mind-numbing labyrinth of passages, ramps, bridges, and galleries that seems to extend limitlessly. But as the exploration of the leviathan dead city proceeds deeper and deeper, the members of the team slowly begin to lose their grip on reality. But madness gives way to fear as the explorers begin to disappear one by one. Something else lives within the necropolis, a faceless horror as deadly and merciless as space itself, a lethal terror that has waited centuries to awake. . and destroy. At long last, Dark Horse Comics heralds the return of the heavyweight champion of modern science-fiction/horror, Aliens! Aliens #1 is the first act in the relaunch of all three classic Dark Horse/Fox comics series. The release of Aliens #1 will coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the Ridley Scott-helmed film masterpiece, Alien, and will be preceded by an Aliens/Predator special for Free Comic Book Day! Featuring the top-flight creative team of writer John Arcudi (The Mask, B.P.R.D., Doom Patrol), penciller Zach Howard (Sean of the Dead, Outer Orbit), and inker Mark Irwin (X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, Batman, Amazing Spider-Man).FC, 32 pages Miniseries.

Predator 2 Prop Replica

Hollywood Collectibles Group has joined forces once again with acclaimed special effects house Stan Winston Studios, to create the first ever screen accurate licensed Predator 2 Cutting Disc. Using their original molds, the artisans at Stan Winston have faithfully recreated the Hero Cutting Disc, or smart weapon as it is sometimes known, and have also designed a desk top display using the Predator's hand to hold the disc - again from the original molds! 

The disc also features working electronics! The cutting disc pulls apart slightly to "activate it" - just like in the movie. When in this open position the LED's strobe to create the same lighting effect as seen in the movie. Each piece is hand-cast, hand-finished, and hand-painted to exacting standards, then individually hand-numbered. Stands approx 17" tall, cutting disc approx 10" diameter (closed). This amazing life-size Prop Replica is available in a strictly limited edition of just 1000 pieces worldwide

Lifesize Alien Statue

Celebrate the holidays by ordering your very own lifesize Alien Warrior replica from Hollywood Collectibles Group:

In 1979, Swiss surrealist H. R. Giger created what is considered one of the most frightening monsters of all time, for Ridley Scott¹s masterpiece ALIEN. Since then, the ALIEN Xenomorph has become one of the most popular and Iconic creatures to ever appear on the silver screen. The movie was destined to become one of the most influential science-fiction films of all time, and earned Giger an Oscar for his vision.

We are extremely proud to announce our officially licensed 1:1 Lifesize Alien statue, derived from the original molds used to create the original Alien costume.

Standing fully 7 feet 8 inches tall on its display stand, this imposing piece is constructed primarily of durable fiberglass and hand painted to the finest detail.

Presented in the classic Giger Alien Pose, the arms are also poseable and can be positioned down by the creature's sides or reaching out to grab its next victim! The head features the fatal inner ³tongue², as well as the translucent dome covering the eye-less skull underneath.

This impressive display is completed with a themed ³floor grid² display stand, with concealed lighting which allows the Alien to be illuminated from beneath for added dramatic effect!

The ultimate Alien collectible and the centerpiece for anyone¹s Alien collection.

Sideshow Predator Prop Replica

improving on the old Master Replicas Predator Spear, Sideshow has teamed up with Amalgamated Dynamics to bring out an all-new extended version. Click on the link to the left to check it out and pre-order yours todays.

Sideshow is proud to partner with Amalgamated Dynamics Inc (ADI) to bring you the Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Prop Replica line, featuring some of the most advanced weaponry and armor ever conceived for the Predator arsenal. Each prop replica is an exact 1:1 reproduction of the original screen used prop, as created by ADI. The Predator Spear Prop Replica is cast in heavy-duty polystone with fiberglass and metal elements, hand-finished and hand-painted to exacting standards, then individually hand-numbered.

The Yautjas species was first encountered in Fox's 1987 release Predator, hunting humans for sport in Central America. The alien warriors use highly advanced weapons and technologies and live by a code of honor, marking themselves in the blood of their kill. Continuing the story of these Predators' ongoing war with the Xenomorph alien species is the 2007 film Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. The two species go head to head using a small, rural town as the battlefield.

From highly advanced technologies to basic weapons and tools, the Predator arsenal includes an impressive range of weapons and armor for effectively stalking prey and engaging in hand-to-hand combat. The Predator spear is able to slice or stab through layers of flesh with a single blow and can withstand the acidic blood of the Xenomorph alien.

New Colonial Marine Model Kit

Just got the following message from Dave Espi:

I'm the owner of the resin kit company ESPI PRODUCTIONS

I have been away from the resin kit market for some time, and have decided to make a resurgence as the fan base and calling for my kits has become overwhelming. In 1998 I produced a resin kit of a 1/8th scale Colonial Marine and 1/2 alien figure sculpted by Ian Coulter and myself. Now in 2008, I am re-releasing the kits in three versions:
1) The marine. (50 numbered castings) 2) The marine and torso alien. (25 numbered castings) and..... to mark my 10 year anniversary of the kit, 3)The "Vignette"

A brand new 10 year anniversary edition with a 360 degree viewable base diorama. On it is a destroyed wall section with 1/2 emerged alien and USMC Colonial Marine. Hand poured in our trademark Bronzecast Durathane resin, the kit will be strictly limited to 80 castings. Twenty parts to the kit as well as extras and wire sections to complete it with a more authentic appearance to the wall. Certificate of Authenticity, and color boxart and instructions are also included. As I am unveiling the prototype of it here on [b]The HIVE [/b] for the first time to anyone in the world, I am offering a pre-order price of 76.00 including shipping in the continental USA. Initial castings are available September First of this year, and will be in full production availability as of October 1st 2008. One month special chance to Alien and Predator fans here in the forums before available to the general public. Final version of the kit will be a slight variation of this, but is 99% completed as shown. Please feel free to reply here with comments and PM me if interested in one of these. They will go fast, and once gone, they are gone again!

Just because you CAN film a movie with Alien and Predator costumes in the Canadian woods because it's cheap and you can get a tax break, doesn't mean you should. Cash in on the fan's good will and soon there'll be nothing left...

Yeah, I said it.

Snap Kit Assembly Tip

For those of you having trouble assembling your Aliens Snap Kits (and other similar collectibles), here's a helpful tip: warming the plastic makes it breeze to insert the ball joints into place without risk of breakage. Simply warm a bowl of water in the microwave for minute, places the pieces in the water to warm them up for 30 seconds or so, then carefully take out (vareful not to burn your fingers), and finally assemble the male to female ball joints. The plastic will be much "softer" and forgiving - making the kits much easier to assemble.

Dredd vs. Alien Bust

Got a press release from the folks at First 4 Figures who wanted to share the following info and pics on their upcoming Judge Dredd vs. Alien Bust.

In a battle that brought Mega-City one to its knees, Judge Dredd, the gritty hero of Britain¹s award-winning anthology 2000 AD, faced off against Fox Film¹s Alien in one of the most memorable comic book cross-over stories of all time.

First 4 Figures and Dark Horse Comics are proud to present a truly unique sculptural treatment inspired by this masterpiece. Rife with special features, this limited-edition piece is the perfect collectible.

Starting with a spot-on interpretation of the classic illustration by Henry Flint, painstakingly built up and re-created as sculpture, with every detail intact, the transmogrifying heads of the protagonists blend together as one.

The otherworldly skull of the alien is visible through a blackened translucent surface, creating an eerily striking effect. A hidden lighting element in the base creates an otherworldly glow that seems to pulsate with evil. Alien eggs surround the base, with unusual resins used to create a viscous pool within these pods, as face-huggers slowly emerge.

Comes in deluxe full color packaging, hand numbered base, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity which allows you to purchase the same number of the model next in the series. Strictly limited to a highly limited 1000 units only worldwide.

Dimension: 12 inches tall
Available: August, 2008
Price $249.99
Artist(s): Jiang Di
Limited: 1000 pieces worldwide
For more pictures and to place your order, click here.

About First 4 Figures
First 4 Figures is a subsidiary of Puzzle Productions. Puzzle Productions manufactures and markets high quality resin figures under the brand name First 4 Figures. Included in its product line up includes famous licenses such as ASSASSINS CREED, WWE, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, TRANSFORMERS, GI JOE, DOOM: THE MOVIE, THE LEGEND OF ZELDA, METROID, and 2000AD.

The Alien Cinemaquette is limited to a production run of 1,000 pieces, and each Alien is individually signed by the Alien's creator, artist H. R. Giger.

In order to create the most accurate representation of the Alien possible, Cinemaquette designers went straight to the source, having been given full permission and access to the materials used in the making of the movie.

Approximately 24 inches in height.

Highly detailed display base.

The Loss of a Good Friend

As most of the online modeling and Aliens community knows, we lost one of our last week, Chris Chulamanis to an unexpexcted heart attack. Personally I am still in shock, but wanted to say that Chris is one of the very first people I befriended online. I'll never forget how my heart raced when I first saw his custom sculpt for the 12" Aliens: USCM armor. After years and years waiting for a decent interpretation of my all-time favorite movie characters, here was someone who's work put Kenner, Hasbro, and all other previous attempts to shame. Within minutes of seeing his eye-popping work, I shot off an email and an over 10 year friendship was born.

Chris had to be one of the friendliest, most gregarious, fun, and enjoyable human beings I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. When we met in person for the first time at Comic-Con several years ago, he greeted me with a tremendous hug and the enthusiasm of a long lost relative. Chris also made me a custom "Aliens USCM" figure with the word "Goldman" stenciled on the armor - which my friends still love to rib me about. That figure has been, and will continue to be at the forefront of my personal collection, and will be proudle on display long after all the other stuff is gone.

Chris, I'm going to miss your talented creations, you're incredible skills, our hilarious conversations, but most importantly, I'm going to miss you.

Rest in peace and we'll see you soon.

Fox Cancels Christmas

Forget what we said earlier. Fox has officially cancelled Christmas.

In addition to being dead on in claiming "no one knows anything," screenwriter William Goldman (no relation) calls sequels "whore's movies" - which most of them are - but this? This is just shameless. Devoid of mostly anything except a need to cash in on what's left of a name that once stood for quality, action, excitement, and original thought. Having a few guys in the Alien and Predator costumes duke it out the woods does not a good Alien or Predator film make. Let's take a paper thin story, filled with disposable human characters, film it in Canada to save some money, dump all over series continuity, not to mention everything Cameron and Scott laid the groundwork for, and release this turkey on one of the holiest days of the year.

Booooooooooooooooooooo!

The first rule of storytelling is this: show them something they've never seen before. And there was nothing, NOTHING, we haven't seen several times and cribbed over and over again. In fairness, the shot of the Predator homeworld WAS cool, the Colonel Stevens character was interesting FOR HIS THREE LINES IN THE FILM! What made Alien, Aliens and Predator so great was their refreshing twist on Ten Little Indians. This? Well I don't know what this was supposed to be, but having hollow human characters who only exist to be be killed? A new creature we only get mere glimpses of? An entry that adds nothing to Alien/Predator mythos?

Argh! Who are the Space Jockeys? What happened to the Sulaco? Why doesn't the Predator use his natural born defenses (his mandibles) to tear apart a Facehugger? What about the Alien homeworld? What happened to LV-426? The recorded footage from the Colonial Marine's helmet cameras? The merc team from Predator 2? The wrist dart from Predator 2? How did Colonel Stevens know about the crashed ship? Is he part of the government agency tracking Predator incidents? What is their relationship to the corporate sector? And how the hell does a Predalien go from burster to full size beastie in three seconds it takes the Predator ship to leave Earth's orbit. Makes about as much sense as Hicks getting IMPALED by an EEV's "safety" beam.

Anyone know if there's a way to unsee a film?

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem

Your friendly neighborhood webmaster here is about to don shorts and a t-shirt and brave the warmth of Florida to head out and check out Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Advance word has been mixed, but I'll wait and form my own opinion after I see it. I do have a ton of respect for what the Strause brothers were trying to accomplish, especially as they've cited Aliens as their favorite in the series. I *do* think that setting the film on present day Earth is a misstep, and further scrambling series continuity only serves to alienate fans. That advance script posted on Ain't It Cool some time ago was pretty terrifying, and I can only hope the story, dialogue, and characters have been worked on since then.

Fox, give the fans what they want: set the series in space and EXPAND the mythos - every movie since Alien 3 only closes it in. There's an incredibly rich sand box to play in here, do it right and see what happens.

FYI, collector Marc Cawiezel just sent in this new clip from the film over at the Fangoria website.

Thanks Marc!

I hope that you can join me in getting the word out about the new documentary "Darfur Now," which opens on Friday, November 2 in Los Angeles.

Darfur Now is a story of hope amid one of humanity's darkest hours. It shows how the work of six people can make a difference in Darfur, and how our voices united can bring an end to the unspeakable horrors the people of Darfur face every day.

It follows the achievements of a Darfuri woman, a community leader in West Darfur, a UCLA graduate, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, a U.N. humanitarian aid worker, and an actor and activist (me).

What: Darfur Now, a documentary about six people making a difference in Darfur

When: Opens this Friday, November 2

Showtimes and Location:

Laemmle's Sunset 5, 8000 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood

As you may know, a film's opening weekend is extremely important and determines the exposure it gets. Darfur Now opens this weekend, but only in New York and Los Angeles. Come watch the movie and bring your friends so we can ensure a nationwide release, help educate people about the crisis in Darfur, and empower them to help end it.

Sincerely,

Don Cheadle, Not On Our Watch

Sideshow Charity Auction

recently let us know about a charity auction for Diane Kamahele.

"Many of you may remember the sudden loss our our dear friend and co-worker, Diane Kamahele, at the end of last year. Sideshow does not typically eBay its products, nor has it previously sold any pre-production samples. However, the company is dedicated to honoring Diane's memory by providing a health and education benefit to her children, which is, of course, an ongoing concern. Collectors will have an opportunity to bid on rare Artist Proofs and more in support of Diane's Memorial Fund.
