"This rather detailed Power Loader and Xenomorph NPVC Collectible figurine came with the Sega "Aliens: Colonial Marines" Collectors Edition pack. Pack includes the game and additional USCM Dossier with Mission Brief, USS Sephora schematic, recruitment card, LV-426 Recon photo, USCM iron-on badges and Certificate of Graduation…"

USS Sephora?

So, the future includes naming ships of war after high end beauty store chains?

That was the only good thing to come out of the game's development…

@cloudcaptain I was just going to quip that it's no wonder these limited edition goodies are being made available after the sales numbers of the game were less than stellar!

Still, I like how they painted the Alien, it's close to the original colors as far as I can tell.

the story line in the video game was pretty good. Better than the 3rd and 4th movies that were released.

Playing the campaign was fun and gave a good feel to the Aliens (2nd movie) movie. but it only took a few hours to complete.

The online play just sucked! It was impossible to get other players to work together as a team. So there was no way for an individual player to do anything but run around until you died. So unless you formed a team prior to playing. it was no fun.

M1Fanboy.

I'm betting they named the ship with this in mind. lol

"Sephora originates from "sephos", which is Greek for beauty."

What was that company that made AWESOME 54mm unpainted plastic Aliens sets. Had Marines with all the characters , Aliens and accessories, including one set with a part of the station.

I remember trying to buy some sets, but every buyer proved to be phony.

They were great.

Smokey, not seen those for sale (in a shop) for maybe 8ish years, your memory might be playing tricks about how good they were!

Smokey Roan09 Feb 2014 9:49 a.m. PST

Probably. I remember awesome sculpts and poses. :(

thk or tree house kids is the name of the company. take a look at the blog the penny whistle and click on the tab for aliens. I think I have about 9 entries with aliens as the tab line

The tree house kids figs are outstanding.

Yeah, Custer, that's what I thought. I remember ordering them from some unscrupulous merchant, and raidsed the price like 1000% AFTER I ordered and paid, and would only refund my money if I didn't want to pay more.

SUCKS

I was fortunate to find all my figures at the local dollar store. The play sets were an early discount store find. They have a very high collector value now.
