    That hicks was going to have a different paint deco, and he would have come with that knife. They end up changing it to save on money. He was going to have a blue hat and would have a green and black paint job. I made a custom of him by repainting that hicks. Also, his dog robot can be used as a gun. It doesn't show that on the packaging

      @2DayRentals  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The shotgun that came with one of the T2 figures would work pretty good! I did think about it and I was trying to stay in the theme of the line itself…kind of over the top, techy big weapons…actually come to think of it a big futuristic looking shotgun would be cool. May have to track one down. I did a video where I did a head swamp on the Hicks from the original line and decked him out with a shotgun. However, I have since tweaked that custom and hope to get a video posted for it soon. Thanks so much for watching and joining in the conversation.

    It's odd that they did a Hicks figure two years after he died in an EVAC Vessel crash (or not if you consider Colonial Marines and Stasis Interrupted canon) and basically created what he would've looked like if the crash didn't happen.

    • @2DayRentals
      @2DayRentals  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Right! Even though I do like Alien 3…killing off Hicks was a mistake. I prefer the Alternate timeline that include “Wilks” time line from the Comics… but yeah odd they just do roll with Herk Mondo or another character. But Hicks is what they decided on…probably because of the name recognition. Thanks for the insight and for checking out my video!

  • @EternalRoman

    5:10 I'd suggest looking up a Dark Horse comics ALIENS comic book character that goes by the name "Herk Mondo". In fact look up online images of him or even read the 2 comics centered around him titled ALIENS: MONDO HEAT and ALIENS: MONDO PEST, and you'll see that this "Hicks" is not Hicks but actually Herk Mondo, only with an eye patch.

    • @2DayRentals
      @2DayRentals  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s crazy because I have read the comics with Herk Mondo years ago and it never clicked that this figure looks more like him than Hicks until someone brought to it to my attention in the comments. You’re absolutely right. I think maybe that’s what they were intending or attempting but at the last minute decided to roll with Hicks. To my knowledge this line was kind of plagued with issues, set backs and problems. I think they initially wanted to release it sooner than 98 but it just didn’t happen. Really appreciate the insight and taking the time to check out my channel. Cheers!

    • @EternalRoman

      @@2DayRentals I'm glad that you saw this connection. Indeed, based on the two titles based on Herk Mondo, it would be quite logical that they tried to make Herk into an action figure, since the tone of these 2 comics are definitely more comical and childish. Perhaps they couldn't secure the license of the character and HAD to the settle into making him "Hicks". I was in day 1 collecting the Kenner ALIENS line in the 90s, so at its dusk, I was able to get most of these figures as well and right away when I saw him I was shocked that it was Herk Mondo, till I read that they named him Hicks LOL.
      I have a total of 75 figures of the Kenner ALIENS line and I too customized some of the creatures. I was intending to customize the humans to make some appear more movie accurate, and that is still on my table of things to do. I have been pleased with what I had done with the ones I worked on and indeed watching your vids you opened my mind to many ideas.

      @@2DayRentals By the way, did you ever make the connection with the Kenner Line and the Konami ALIENS arcade game? I mean, many of the Kenner figures seem based on the Arcade creatures, like the "Egg Aliens" from Kenner and the Egg Implanter (?) Alien boss in the arcade. In fact even the color of both media are very similar. So considering the story line on the Kenner Line is sort of an Alternate Universe, I am making that the Konami arcade ALIENS game to be its prequel. This allows for the changes in the characters that perished in the movie but are in the toy line to have their backgrounds connected to the game and live.

      Boiling water to soften it then carefully pull apart what you want to remove. After a couple of minutes in boiling water most action figures will piece apart fairly easily. Once the cool down the plastic hardens again so depending on what kind of application you are doing you may have to alter the pegs or insert holes a little to make them fit.

    As far as female preds go, weirdly, I always thought Spiked Tail pred might have been female. It's a lot more slender than the others and... I dunno, just something about the way it's build/holds itself, it just seemed to fit in my mind.I think also because for me I never had it as a kid, took a while to track down a new copy on Ebay, felt like it being female somehow fit how illusiverare and weird it was compared to the rest of the line.
