In space, no one can hear you say "aww, how cute!" (Aliens & Predator minifigs)

However for some reason the Star Wars Kubricks can't be taken apart and swapped. Anyone know the reason?

Actually I think some of them can, but apparently they changed how they made them at some point. Even as it is, you can often swap the helmets or hairpieces, which can have interesting effects.

Yes you can take off the helmets but not the head, hands, and torso. Star Wars Kubricks also seem to be hollow while the other Kubricks are made of solid plastic. Really weird.

My review should be up there soon, that is if Michael will put mine up even though Wookster has one too.

Well the more perspectives you can get on any product the better I always think, I'll look forward to seeing your thoughts as well.

I'm in Japan right now and have been buying a lot of Kubricks. (I've hardly found any in actual stores, but luckily I have a mailing address and can read/write Japanese, so I've been able to use online stores in Japan to get a bunch of stuff.)

I also stumbled upon this AVP queen figure that I had never seen before. I'm really starting to get into these urban vinyl/deformed pieces, so it's right up my alley. Interestingly, it comes in 8 or 9 pieces that just slot together but don't really attach permanently, so you could easily disassemble it if you wanted. I paid around $40 for it. It's apparently made by "Good Smile Company" (never heard of them) and they also have an Alien warrior (who looks very good as well) and two predators (who look terrible). It's about 9 inches tall or so and I like it a lot. Has anyone seen these in the US?

icruise, I've actually seen a couple in Albuquerque, and was really tempted to by them. I'm a big fan of the 'super deformed' line. If I can find the Predator's at a good price, I'll end up getting them.

I think toywiz.com has the AVP Super deformed guys, but their prices are high. I'd only use them as a last resort.

Re: In space, no one can hear you say "aww, how cute!" (Aliens & Predator minifigs)

Yeah, their prices are ridiculous. I was trying to decide whether I should get the Alien Warrior one before coming home, and it looks like if I don't get it here, I won't be able to find it in the US, so I think I will. Not too crazy about the predator ones.

Re: In space, no one can hear you say "aww, how cute!" (Aliens & Predator minifigs)

Yeah, I think the predators are kind of ugly.

That's a nice Queen, isn't it?

Mine is absolutely wonderful, but she's a ^^^^^, no pun intended, to get to stand without the display stand.

I'm back in the US now, but I did manage to pick up the Alien Warrior figure that goes along with the "Yuru Sofubi" AVP Alien Queen that I mentioned earlier. I really like these figures. Here they are with the AVP Cosbabies to show scale. I got the warrior for about $16 loose on Yahoo Auctions, but the shipping and bank transfer fees about doubled the price. Still not too bad.

They look great, I saw the warrior in Forbidden Planet London last year but they wanted a ton of money for it.
Knowing how the Xeno takes on characteristics of its host, it looks like this fella came out of Danny DeVito!

Excellent deal Congrats of getting the set.

That looks really nice, and the price is a steal.
