The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Don't know about Jeanette but quite a few of us have Al Matthews on our Facebook Friends Lists in my case he added ME! Which was a bit of a gobsmack! :lol:


You should send him a message and see what he says! That's awesome!

So, let's see if we can find out what the reason is and convince Mr. Matthews and Ms. Goldstein that it should be done.

I contacted Jenette through Twitter when I asked her if she'd sign the A:CM Playable Females petition last summer, I tried contacting her through her agency, but it was a no go. Twitter was fruitful however :)

Thank you! I just added her. I just need to work on a diplomatic way of asking her.

Do we know for sure the reason NECA isn't doing them is a likeness rights issue and not something else?

That's what Randy at NECA told me. He offered me a free figure if I could convince her to let him user her likeness.

It's bad that people here can just talk to the actors and actresses from the film like this. Not saying its bad I think it's kool that they luv us that much here.

No kidding eh! :D

I want that Trophy Wall! :delta:

That ED-209 looks amazing too! But is it 12" or 7" scale?

Got a reply from Jenette Goldstein that she doesn't remember an offer from NECA. Sent a tweet to NECA to see whats up. Big Thank You to Moosh89 for the twitter address! We'll see how this all plays out.

Hey Sarge, a lot of us on the Aliens Legacy Forums would love it if NECA could use your likeness for a Colonial Marine range they're launching shortly. Look how well they've got Hudson (Bill Paxton) looking:

I wonder if that is the real problem? Do we know that Neca is offering to pay them? I remember reading about Al Mathews problem with the Hot Toys figures and while I never actually heard/read him say so, the implication was he felt he wasnt being compensated (not at all, or not enough? I dont know).

But his point was that he felt he had creative rights to the character and they were just attempting to capitalize on it. His problem with Neca is probably the same thing.

Perhaps we might be shooting ourselves in the foot, but maybe our appeals shouldnt be to Jeanette and Mr. Mathews, but our appeals should be for Neca to bump there offer! (or possibly even make one, as ms. Goldstein has hinted).

If only to be a fly on the wall during those meetings! I honestly dont know what I "hope" the problem is (Neca or the actor/actress), but I hope they can work it out!

In other news, anyone have anything concrete to support the following 2 rumors I'm hearing (on other boards)??? Supposedly its all from twitter but I dont twitter...

-Neca WILL do the queen!

-The "battle damaged/exploading" aliens will be part of "2-packs" that include one marine WITH DIFFERENT HEADS (diff expressions, HELMETS) and a damaged Warrior.

Not that it's the same thing, but Al did just let his voice and likeness be used for Gearbox's game, so does that hint that NECA wasn't willing to pay enough?

I don't know why Mr. Matthews had a problem with HT and his likeness, the HT figure looked NOTHING like him!
