UPDATE: Comic Con - Thursday

Lots more news out of San Diego today in the figure world.

I guess it was inevitable, but Dark Horse revealed new 7" Game of Thrones figures - opting for a more statuesque approach without articulated joints - behold Jon Snow and Daenerys...

 

These two are slated for January, with Ned Stark, Khal Drogo and Tyrion Lannister set to follow in May.

We also got a look at the second wave of NECA's Aliens line - two new Aliens and Sergent Windrix...

 













Now before you get all snarky with, "Hey, where's Apone? Who the #@! is Windrix?" know that this is a special figure from NECA. Sculptor Kyle Windrix created this figure as a tribute to his brother, Craig Windrix, who is battling stage 4 stomach cancer (Aliens is Craig's favorite movie). That NECA supported the idea of this tribute from one of their artists is pretty compelling. I know I'll be supporting it...



























Oh, we got a look at a Colonial Marine two-pack, with a "screaming Hicks" alternate head, with helmet and exploding alien warrior...



















Okay, that's it for now - more news can break at any moment, so check back. If any 1979 Alien prototype figures emerge, you'll be able to hear me scream...
