Aliens Minimates

They're happening apparently, in case anyone is interested (I don't have a link to an official announcement yet, but this comes from a source at DST). I'm psyched to say the least.

Omg yes!!!! Thanks for sharing the info!!!

OMG first NECA then DST vehicles and now this?

2013 is going to be the best year ever!

Is that Vasquez? Mini smartgunner!!

I think I want these. Please make a APC to go with them.

A minimates power loader would kick all available a$$.

One more:

I go back and forth on these - it's too bad that the Minimate design is so...unappealing. It's like someone took a wooden marionette from the 30's and tried to make it 'hip' with a culturally-relevant paint application...

I'd take more Mez-its, Kubricks or LEGO over these any day. Unfortunately, this looks like it's what we get. There are vehicles in the works, so that's a plus.

Perhaps if the Super7's ReAction line does well, their Aliens follow-up will stomp all over this. I might be okay with that...

i don't know what this all is but i like the lego aliens. perfect figure for a collector

These are looking great!

However I get a bit worried by the human to Alien ratio will be.

Well I think the release discussed in that link is an army builder dump lot, where you get something like 9 Aliens, and the 3 humans. Then, every Marine is apparently being done, as well as multiple versions of Ripley, and Newt. Probably other Aliens that will be available elsewhere.

Yeah that's what worries me. 9 aliens to only 3 humans. I only need a single alien. I am all about the humans and now I am forced to buy at a 1:3 ratio of aliens to humans. It's disappointing.

I knew there would be lots of aliens that was given but wow what a lopsided ratio.

Well if they sell these in any of your local comic shops, you should be able to buy whichever ones you want. They are individually boxed.

Oh individually boxed eh? That's good news. I though they were just going to do the usual 2 pack thing but now it worries me how short packed the humans will be per case.

Or they will blind box them and I'm out lol.
