NECA Shows Off Upcoming Charlize Theron ‘Prometheus’ Toy
The lost wave is finally coming soon.
As we told you back in December, there was a series of Prometheus toys that NECA showed off way back in 2013 but never actually released. The fourth series of their Prometheus line was to include Elizabeth Shaw, an infected Fifield, and Meredith Vickers, but it was shelved before it ever had the chance to, well, hit shelves. Next month, that lost series will be given a new life.
Part of their weekly #FaceHuggerFriday, NECA just showed off the finished Vickers figure in packaging. She’ll include a space helmet and the badass flamethrower she used in the film.
Check out the full lineup below.
At long last, this series includes the never-released figures fans have been requesting: Vickers, Shaw and Fifield. The 7” scale figures are entirely movie accurate and feature over 25 points of articulation. Vickers (Charlize Theron) comes with flamethrower and removable helmet. Shaw (Noomi Rapace) comes with axe, removable helmet and the android David’s severed head. Fifield (Sean Harris) comes with flashlight and removable helmet.
The first series of Prometheus toys, for those keeping score, included a Pressure Suit Engineer and Chair Suit Engineer; the second added David and Deacon to the mix; and the third and final series saw the Pressure Suit and Chair Suit Engineers reimagined with super cool holographic repaints. There was also a Toys R Us exclusive two-pack with the Engineer and a Trilobite.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
