We are thrilled to announce the first from our new Officially Licensed Aliens collection - the Aliens APC!
Presented for the first time in a large-scale format, this intricately detailed model is in glorious 1:18 scale, measuring a very impressive 20" long! Using the original blueprints as reference, no detail has been spared making this the most accurate recreation possible.
The APC features moveable gun turrets and rotating wheels, and is authentically weathered for added realism. It is complete with a separate Aliens themed display base, designed to replicate the floor tiles of the Sulaco.
Our HCG Exclusive version also comes with Alien roadkill! This highly detailed Alien Warrior has been cut in two by the speeding APC, and is supplied in two separate pieces for a multitude of display options. Also included with the HCG Exclusive version is a high quality 21" x 14" print of the APC blueprints and specs sheet! A regular edition is also available, click here for more details.
As with all Hollywood Collectibles pieces this museum quality scale model is constructed from heavyweight polystone and then hand painted to the finest detail.
Limited to just 350 pieces Worldwide!
A side rant: I "know" the guy who made the blueprint for this, he has also made blueprints for several other Alien/Aliens vehicles....why the Hell do they all have to have the Weyland Yutani company logo on them as if they built all of them? It's o.k. on a Nostromo print because that was owned by WY, but everything in the Aliens universe doesn't have to be built by them! I am sure other companies exist in the future!!!
Sorry! When I get home I'll check my USCM Field guide and see if they mention any other companies
I think they've republished it... to AMAZON!
Annnnnd yep:
Aliens - Colonial Marines Technical Manual: lee Brimmicombe-Wood: 9781781161319: Amazon.com: Books
Whoops, Tech Manual, not Field Guide
There were other companies, but according to the Dark Horse comics, WY was the most prominent, and provided most of the military/government contracts. I think it's also the only company that was ever stated in the movies, so... I guess no one else has wanted to come up with a competitor
They should have named one Westinghouse and tied the Alien and Terminator franchises together.

Not when the figures are costing $20 a pop.
Well.. a little from column A, a little from column B.
I'd expect them to be able to get one out for at least JSI prices ($99?). It's not a very complicated vehicle by any means. If it didn't open up or anything it's got no real details other than wheels! The gun should be movable I guess.
