That's what I mean when I say they don't look like they're from the same line. That c-clip is larger than many of the detailed bespoke parts on the smaller figure, so it's a very odd choice. If I were an alien fan, I'd be very disappointed. I know it's a brick build, but mega has a reputation of making things that don't necessarily look quite so brick-built, like the large Master Chief. If the queen had that level of care and design, I'm sure it would look incredible. But instead, it largely looks like something one of us built out of random spare parts.
The “brick feature” is what allows Mega to have some of the licenses it does at all, since the licensing for building block toys is independent of action figures. Without it, you wouldn’t have much of what those of you that care about the figures actually want because they’d potentially overlap with other licenses. I think that’s also tied into how Pokémon are all brick-built, as were their predecessors whose... name I’m totally blanking on.
Indeed. What we should be hoping for is Mega regaining momentum and obtaining more competitive licenses. I still want tiny Ghostbusters for my Ectotron.
"Sentinels? Quickly to the vehicles, we'll need their heavy guns! Onward to the Sacred Icon!" Wraith Boarding: Wolverine (Still one of my fave builds):
Skeletor merges with his Havoc Staff. Just out for a fly. He-Man vs Faker. I Have the Power! Get the fire ready boy. We have meet tonight. This Spartan makes a good Cobra Commander.
I finally found the series with Predator at Walmart. Picked up a Predator and Claptrap. Also, my first time seeing Crystal Creatures Series 1 and Breakout Beasts Series 4 in person. They were at Cracker Barrel of all places. They were also $14.99 a piece.
what Are the blue aliens supposed to be? Something from a video game or what? They look frozen. Ice Alien?
I wonder what possessed Mega to sculpt in all of the extra ridges into the top of the Xeno head. I mean, I find it hilarious because my brain never made it past twelve but surely that's not what their intent was.
I've been out of the MCX game for a while now, but occasionally get the random Alien Warrior here and there. Still, I was looking forward to the Predator and the Queen. Well, saw the Predator and am seriously underwhelmed. He's freakin' tiny, and while the paint is nice those wrist blades are just bad. They really should have used a bigger mold that is at least taller than Dutch, and also NOT used Skeletor's two-toed feet. They look atrocious. And that "Queen"... Yeah, that's awful. No way around it. It looks mechanical and really seems like nothing more than just a random fan-build with spare parts. Well, the only two things that could have brought me back are both disappointments, so I think I'll just enjoy my small army of Xenos. I do need more red ones...
Skeletor has three-toed feet that look nothing like the ones Predator uses. Halo’s Brutes use those feet, which probably explains the poor scale of the Predator figure.
Oh, didn't know that. I don't care for HALO or MotU, so I just thought they looked like the surplus of Skeletors at the local Walmart.
