My Target haul, since I got everything opened and messed with.
Alpha Predator is pretty great, just a beautiful looking figure with some nice paint work. My only gripe with him is he has so much stuff on him, he can be a little awkward to pose. His left hand pops out of the wrist easily, too, though a lot of that can be attributed to the bone blade. It really hinders the peg connection. Still a solid figure, I only saw one between two Targets.
And the Alien 40th wave 1, I picked up between two Targets. Dallas is the least interesting, since he's just a little repainted with the new face printing. It's definitely an improvement on the old figure, but if you have this guy already, honestly there's not a huge reason to buy him again.
Ripley, I actually think she looks very good. Her face looks better in person than the earlier photos showed, I think. Still an odd expression to go with. She does come with some really nice new accessories at least. The cat carrier is a lot of fun cause it opens up, a hatch slides out, then you fold out the top on a hinge to put Jonsey inside.
I'm really happy with how the prototype xeno looks, definite improvement looks-wise over the original figure. And those new hips, boy I hope they keep using those. My only issue is mine has a really loose torso joint, so he's a bit floppy. I may try to put some string up there to tighten that up, or I guess worse comes to worse, heat and pop and see if I can't layer up something to give it more friction. I feel like the clear plastic kind of lends itself to that over-smoothness with some of the joints.
Now if I could just find Casey and Raph.
