Title: Prometheus
Post by: Miniman on 04 June 2012, 11:50:49 PM: Well with the movie about to premier, has anyone heard anything about miniature games or mini's comming out?

"A Prometheus Line is Coming Up This Summer

We’re extremely excited about the upcoming film from Ridley Scott and have our hands full with a new line of figures. We’ll probably be able to show some Prometheus sculpts by the end of June."

I searched Amazon (US and UK), ebay (ditto), Forbidden Planet, Forbidden Planet International, Monsters in Motion and Comet Miniatures for "Prometheus" and found nothing listed yet, except for a few ebay sellers who had added "Prometheus" to the title line of their Aliens merch.

Of course, that won't have turned up any garage kits or "not-" figures under assumed names, but I doubt they'll have been made yet.

Edit: I also searched Wizkids' website, assuming that they'd be the most likely candidate for a minis license: nothing there either.

NECA owns Wizkids now, so I would assume if NECA has a license, the best case scenario is more clix aliens. Too bad.

Well I am jealous of that! Surprised I haven't come across spoilers by accident.

Post by: Miniman on 10 June 2012, 01:04:18 AM: I just saw the movie and I feel it was better than OK, maby I was expecting too much.
Very good picture, feel, effects and the plot was good.
I liked the cast but Just something seemed to be missing to me.
There will probably be a sequal comming.

I am not sure there is any gaming here.

You should go see it.

Post by: Michka on 10 June 2012, 02:04:43 AM: I just saw the movie with my wife, and proceeded to discuss what was wrong with it for a couple hours. Neither of us disliked it, but we wanted it to be better then it was. I hope a Director's Cut comes out when the DVD is released. I can't go into what we didn't like without spoilers, and I don't do spoilers.

I posted my comment there as well.

So lets get this thread back to the original question.

Has anyone heard anything about miniature games or mini's comming out concerning Prometheus?

After seeing the movie I doubt it.

No need to apologise at all - just wanted to make sure you'd seen that people were commenting there as well.
(It is sometimes possible to end up with 3 or 4 threads all discussing the same topic :))

Haven't seen any Prometheus-inspired toys yet, but there are bound to be some. That said, from what I can see, the movie has met with a pretty negative response overall... So the chances of it taking on a life of its own as far as merchandise is concerned (a la Star Wars) seem somewhat diminished...

Take your time and money and go buy John Carter on dvd and watch it. Better movie by a factor of 1000.

In my humble, old man's opinion... lol

Thanks, Talysman. Just 8.5-inch dolls, then.

Post by: Talysman on 12 June 2012, 12:18:40 AM: So far as I know. I didn't do a completely in-depth search, but I don't know of anything other than those coming out.
