Greetings, highly respected Hot Toys team!
My name is ILiya Malkov (nick name V-Raptor) and I’m presenting Russian collectors community from Toyster.ru web and forum.
The main purpose of this letter is to present our voice and desire to have an opportunity to purchase the Aliens Queen from the James Cameron’s “Aliens” movie produced by you in the true 1/6 scale. You have already produced the Power Loader with Ripley in the 2007 and still there is no Queen to display it with this great figure. Our community really anxious about this release. As many and many collectors worldwide we would like to get it too. So we ask: please, bring it to us! For the reasonable price it will be very OK.
Any way, we would like to place few tips on the figure, just to tell you what weak points could be evaded to prevent huge disappointments. In fact, the Aliens (monsters themselves) never were very strong line of yours. The rubber skin corrupted time to time, the painting began to peel off and the joints sometimes were too weak and breakable (we mean the Alien 2 and 3 releases). Even newly released Abe Sapiens suffers from this problem (I’ve got few cracks on his elbow’s painting on my own figure).
1) So we will be very-very glad to see as little rubber on this figure as in possible! In fact, let the flexibility of figure goes down coz of this, but most of the parts should be made of durable plastic. In the new T800, Wolverine, Comedian and the PredatorZ releases you’ve already shown that you can do some great hands joints without rubber. So do it for Alien Queen! In fact, it would be cool if only the tail and the neck would be made from rubber.
2) It would be nice to avoid rubber on it’s head too and to make the changeable mouth part with closed mouth and opened one and with sliding out inner jaws. The Alien Queen should be graciously displayed in very aggressive pose, standing to the viewers with her back (coz we all would like to see Ripley in Loader too!
), so the switcher on her head would look very badly. Please, don’t use the classic aliens mouth for this release. Hope that you understand this reason.
3) We would like to see authentic pain job on this figure. The original Queen was painted into black, dark-brown and sea-blue colors. Few shots of the original puppet:

The most beautiful Queen’s painting you can find on Sideshow 1/4 scale bust, these colors are great!

-also, it should be produced in true 1/6 scale to be displayed with Power Loader, not less than that.
So, dear Hot Toys, we are really waiting for this release! If you make it right it would be the great present from you for all the Aliens fans in Russia and in the entire world! No one ever produced 1/6 scale poseable Alien Queen and you are the best of the best – so bring it to us! We’ll say “thanks” via our Visa and Master Cards.
Thanks you for your kind attention and for your figures.
My warmest regards,
ILiya “V-Raptor” Malkov
And

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE!

PS Also we can’t wait to get all 6 main Watchmen’s characters. And we are pretty upset that only 2 of them produced now and there is no Rorchack.
