Interesting this! Didn't know it was a Caterpillar model haha. But for $1200? I'd think maybe Hot Toys could come up with something slightly cheaper yet more detailed? I thought i did see one during the last toy show with a Ripley figure too. This is by Hollywood Collectibles.
"The Caterpillar P-5000 Powered Work Loader, commonly referred to as a Power Loader, is a commercial mechanized anthropomorphic Exoskeleton used for lifting heavy materials and objects. More importantly it was also used by Ripley to defeat the Alien Queen!
Painstakingly recreated from the original blueprints, no detail has been spared to make this the most accurate Power Loader replica ever made.
Presented for the first time ever as a Studio Scale model - exactly the same size as the model used in filming the movie! Standing an imposing 33” tall, and 25” wide this truly is an EpicTM scale model!"

Gawd the price ! Madness but awesome model ! Yeah I thought HT will be releasing a Powerloader ? Probably around the 800 bucks mark.
ReplyDeleteApparently Hot Toys DID release a powerloader and ripley 12" figures way back! They looked pretty bad compared to the stuff HT does nowadays tho!
