In Aliens, a unit of Colonial Marines is dispatched to the colony of Hadley’s Hope on LV-426, only to walk straight into a deadly Xenomorph hive. Amidst the chaos and overwhelming terror, Corporal Dwayne Hicks steps up as a calm, level-headed leader, fighting alongside Ellen Ripley to survive the ultimate extraterrestrial nightmare.
In continuation of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Aliens, Hot Toys is thrilled to announce the 1/6th scale Corporal Hicks Collectible Figure. Crafted based on the appearance of Michael Biehn as Corporal Hicks, this figure features a newly developed head sculpt with separate rolling eyeballs and a sculpted brown short hairstyle. To capture his Marine physique, the figure utilizes a body with silicone material arms for a seamless joint design, complete with a service tattoo printed on his left bicep.
Hicks comes outfitted in his USCM gear, including a tailored green camouflage Battle Dress Uniform, a set of M3 Pattern Personal Armor adorned with personalized decals (such as a red heart with a padlock on the chest armor, a bullet hole with a “BORN AGAIN” inscription on the left shoulder armor, and other markings), an M10 Pattern Ballistic Helmet, alongside with a pair of weathered combat boots.
No Colonial Marine is complete without firepower. Hicks is armed with his standard-issue M41A Pulse Rifle (featuring a slidable forend, retractable stock, removable magazine, and a sling), his signature “close encounters” pump-action shotgun with a scabbard, a combat knife, and a set of M40 HEDP Grenades. Rounding out this package are essential mission accessories, including a USB-powered LED-lit TNR Shoulder Lamp, an ME3 Hand Welder for sealing off those tight corridors, a wristwatch, and a specially designed metal grating floor-themed diorama base featuring gruesome Xenomorph remains.
