I had placed an order with Toys R Us for 2 Queens and I just received an email cancelling it. They wouldn't provide any other information. Anyone else got any idea what that was all about?

This arrived in the mail today. I snagged it on Ebay directly from Neca's account. It was cheaper than getting it anywhere else. They also have the queen listed, and that too is the cheapest I've seen it for ($99 with shipping). I really hope we get at least another marine this coming year. Of course I'm partial to Vasquez (WITH a smartgun).

Just got my alien queen today from big bad toy company . UPS delivered it . The box came with a heavy dent over the handle with care delicate sticker ! I opened it WTF ! The queens left leg snapped off in the box !!! Emailed them for a replacement . So upset , the fig looks do amazing in the package . Oh well gotta wait now for the whole return policy now . Definately a bummer . I've heard on other sites that people have been getting damaged queens . If you get one make sure to do a once over before opening it .

I am still mildly bummed that the big mother can not stand on her own, I'm not a big fan of simple rod stands. Other than that...amazing figure.

She can stand on her own in certain positions:

Okay, that's it - I'm sold, I need her. I've seen several video reviews showing her leg joints as too wobbly to make poses as these possible, but that would be pretty much the pose I would want her in. Thanks!

I plan on using the stand until she has a power loader to fight with

Waiting on mine arriving from the USA, but will have to relocate my figures from a narrow mantelpiece to something a bit wider, as she'll need the room.

No other hint from Randy, so we'll have to wait until next year's Toy Fair I guess?

Went to Barnes and Noble yesterday and found a ReAction Ripley in white spacesuit figure. They only had one and I snatched it up quick! Also bought a masked Predator from the same company.

That's the headsculpt for a new 1:4 scale Alien they are doing I think.

It looks more Aliens era to me with the lack of skull eye sockets.

EDIT: but the back of the head still looks like it's made for a dome...

The front has definitely got the eye sockets and nose bridge, so it's the Alien xeno.
