Polar Lights Model Kits: 4 weeks of Christmas Part 1
Friday, December 6, 2013
My blog writing has been rather erratic this year. All I can say is that the day-to-day business of developing Polar Lights model kits is easy to get caught up. There is rarely a lull in our breakneck working pace. In an effort to make up for some of my lapses, I have weekly blogs scheduled for the month of December… or at least leading up to Christmas…
Let’s kick off the month with a check in on our upcoming Alien Executive Officer Kane resin figure kit. Right now we are looking into a production source. Once that is settled, we’ll be able to finalize its release date. Here are some pics of the rapid prototype that arrived recently.
Next week… Reliant!
Too bad that this will be resin,if it had been either styrene or vinyl I would have bought one, but I will have to pass on this one.
Ken, when resin is done right it makes plastic and vinyl seem like low-quality alternatives.
This looks outstanding! Looking forward to it very much.
I can hardly wait! One thing, though–the face doesn’t look much like John Hurt to me. Is it just lack of paint, or were you unable to secure rights to his image? It’s not a deal-breaker for me by any means. Just curious. I’ll be getting Kane and the re-popped xenomorph both. Thanks for all your work!

Our license doesn’t allow for actor likenesses, unfortunately. I think we were able to land on something that still looks like the character even though it isn’t the actor.
Hi
When will this kit be available and how much. I live in England.
Tbd on both release date and price at this point.
I’d buy this kit if my funds would allow without a shadow of a doubt, this is one heck of a great kit.
Any News on release date
I think the kane kit looks outstanding looking forward
to that release!
Really excited about getting the Alien franchise
Personally my choice for future subject offerings
would include;
Figures
Warrant officer Ripley from Alien
Corporal Hicks Colonial Marine from Aliens
Johner the mercenary from Alien Resurrection
Dog Alien from Alien3
Ships
Commerical Towing Spaceship Nostromos from Alien
Mercenary Transport Betty from Alien Resurrections
fortress
When are we going to be able to get our hands on this? I would stand in line forever to get it.
We are still working on getting this one produced. A few other things have gotten in the way of giving it the attention it needs, but we are getting back on track with it.
