NECA Reveals More ‘Alien vs. Predator’ Arcade Wave Packaging
I’ve been waiting on NECA’s figures based on the Alien vs. Predator arcade game (and let’s be honest, I’m not the only one) for what seems like an eternity. NECA hasn’t made the wait any easier by giving us the another look at the packaging for the wave (this one being the Mad Predator figure), which is expected to hit retail later this year.
We originally got a shot of the Razor Claws windowbox packaging last year, but never had a shot of what to expect on the back. Well, now we know. There are eight of these beauties to collect, so save your pennies.
While it’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever get to see a port of the original arcade game, if you do get a chance to check it out, it’s a solid beat-’em-up from the glory days of yore. Plus it’s more fun than what we got from the AvP games that followed (but that’s just me).
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
