New York’s Toy Fair doesn’t officially kick off until next Friday, but that’s not stopping companies like NECA from ringing some serious Pavlovian bells this week, with some pretty awesome glimpses of what’s to come.
We already knew that NECA had a brand new vehicle line dubbed Cinemachines, that would depict ships and other means of transport from the Alien and Terminator franchises (at roughly 6" scale). Now we’re getting an even better look at just how deep this line promises to reach. Among the more easily recognizable ships like the Dropship and APC (just to the right of the Nostromo), we saw one of the Aliens Holy Grails – the Jorden family tractor, driven by Newt’s parents at the Hadley’s Hope terraforming colony, as seen in the Aliens Special Edition cut:
The closest we ever got was back in the nineties, when Galoob’s Action Fleet line showed off a prototype that was never released. Fans have been hoping someone would put out a model of this vehicle ever since – and the time has finally come.
NECA also gave us a peek at a Cinemachines version of the Skynet Hunter-Killer tank from the Terminator films – feast your eyes on this baby:
If this is only the tip of the iceberg, the mind reels at what we’ll see next week at Toy Fair.
Oh, and one more thing – a tantalizing comment on NECA’s Twitter feed about a mysterious SDCC exclusive that sounds like it’ll take our breath away:
Randy Falk and the NECA crew are just crushing it!!!
More toy news will be rolling out hard over the next week and beyond, so stay tuned!
