After the movie's premiere, the Caterpillar construction equipment company reportedly received inquiries from people interested in buying the power loader that Ripley uses to fight the Alien Queen, who were unaware that it was fictional and didn't exist outside of the movie.
Here we see Ripley posing beside the power loader.

The power loader has working revolving lights and the interior panel lights up as well.
"Come and get it, you alien BITCH!!"

You have NO IDEA how envious I am of you, Alex...
ReplyDeleteAfter watching ALIENS and seeing the USCM and Power Loader in action, these were the two things I really wanted in 1/6 so I was pleased as punch when Hot Toys released them :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to Sideshow's "Captain Dallas" and "Executive Officer Kane" figures from the original ALIEN.
ReplyDeleteNot much longer I think. According to Hot Toys' website, they're already out in stores. Hope to pick up mine soon.
ReplyDeleteYes. I beleive they drop in stores here (States)this month.
ReplyDeleteLove their lighted packs!
I've seen Captain Dallas (Tom Skerritt) but I think Kane got recalled because of sculpt issues because he looked nothing like John Hurt. Still waiting for the reply by my distributor
