Diamond Select releases new toys and animated film to celebrate ALIEN day.
Happy ALIEN Day!
Thats right, it is indeed ALIEN day, April 26th, deemed so due to the toothy xenomorphs home planet of LV-426. Not only is it a fine day to watch every single bloody ALIEN film (maybe not ALIENS VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM, though,unless you’re a masochist) but our pals at Diamond Select Toys have announced a pack of new toys and even a new short film to honor the occasion.
First up, theres a new stop-motion animated short from Alex Kropinak starring Diamonds ALIENS Minimates. Inspired by the final act of James Camerons stunning sequel ALIENS, the short stars Ripley, Newt, Bishop and the new Deluxe Minimates sets, the Power Loader and the Alien Queen Mother herself.
The second series of ALIENS Minimates have also been released with new versions of Ripley, Drake and Apone, but the Diamond folks have already wrapped series two. Tying in to the Ridley Scott original, series 3 includes Kane in his space suit with eggs and a translucent phantom Xenomorph from ALIEN, Lt. Gorman in his dress uniform with an attacking Alien Warrior from ALIENS, and a two-pack of red and black Hiveworld Aliens, as seen in the classic ALIENS: GENOCIDE comic book mini-series!
