That Powerloader figurine. If you've ever wanted a high-quality resin replica of Ripley's iconic exosuit sitting on your shelf inside a Xeno Hive box, this is the only way to get it. The Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector's Edition on Playstation 3 is the full premium package, and it leads with a statement piece that transcends the game it came bundled with.

The Powerloader figure is housed in a limited edition Xeno Hive box that doubles as a display case, making the unboxing experience feel like cracking open a piece of LV-426 itself. Beyond the figurine, you get four playable movie characters (Hudson, Hicks, Drake, and Apone), additional marine customization options, Ripley's Flamethrower, exclusive multiplayer weapons including Sonic Electronic Ball Breakers and a Phase Plasma Rifle, and an exclusive game level, the USCM Academy Firing Range. The weapons pull directly from Aliens lore, and the Firing Range level is content you simply cannot access without this edition.

Colonial Marines had a rough reception, but this Collector's Edition has quietly become a sought-after piece in the Aliens memorabilia ecosystem. The resin Powerloader figure is the reason. It's a beautifully crafted piece of sci-fi hardware that stands on its own as a display collectible, completely independent of how the game performed.

For Aliens franchise collectors, this CE is less about the game and more about owning one of the better Powerloader reproductions ever bundled at retail. The Hive box, the resin, the exclusive content. This is how you collect.
