Captain Toys Reviews Hot Toys Aliens Kane and Dallas
« on: September 23, 2008, 02:07:08 PM »

Loaded with pics Captain Toys offers a really well written and in-depth review of the Dallas an Kane figures by Hot Toys.  My only question: what happened to Kane?  He looks nothing like John Hurt!

Check out the review here.


Wall-e always was too curious for his own good!

You're right - I wonder what the hell they were thinking?  Eh?

It's weird, but when I look at the Kane figure I'm reminded of another actor... but I can't put my finger on who.

My only question: what happened to Kane?

Maybe they were going for that retro Kane Mk. 1 look?

In intriguing idea. If Finch was sportin' the stache on set, I will 100% believe it. Can't instantly find a production still to confirm it, though...

Jon Finch, in costume and on set, playing the Kane.

Quote

"There I was on the set of Alien," Finch recalls. "I had been shooting for two days. I had my face cast and my chest measured for when the alien (chest-burster) comes out. Suddenly, I get bronchitis. I was in intensive care for three days. Obviously, they had to go on and John Hurt got in on it. I have pondered what would have happened if I’d been able to stay on, but what’s the use? You can’t gain a lot, can you, by extrapolating yourself from somebody else’s position."

Finch says bronchitus, but I say it was a gestating Alien embryo messing up his lungs.

I'm gonna have to go back and watch the special features... I don't remember that!

(+) Deez.

...Actually, the first shot of Finch as Kane looks like Willem Defoe.
