hot toy's aliens vs predator: requiem 1/6 snap kit figures

in any evolution of a toy-production company, one can only hope that the quality would improve with time (altho with that, so too the increasing prices :p) and HongKong's Hot Toys has been improving steadily with specific attention to details, as well as widening their genres beyond military, to capture the Movie-market, with up-to-date property and franchises, case-in-point: the Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem movie 1/6 figures from their Movie Masterpiece line, featuring the prerequisite 16"-er Alien (including face-hugger) and 14"-er Predator protagonist, as well as the 18"-er Alien X Predator-hybrid Predalien!

i don't know about you folks but the images i've seen online are astounding (altho i've not had the fortune to possess any of these fine works of 1/6th-commercial art-pieces) and would relish the day when i can line my shelves with HT's products (*hint-hint*) ... back to the figures - note that points-of-articulation for the figures are: 22-PoA for Predator / 18-PoA for Alien / 20-PoA for Predalien. the release date states first quarter of 2008 (no prices determined) after the 25th December movie-release. (peep trailer here)
