Well, Ive signed up to ebay finally...its taken long enough - it really has. So yeah, Im a university student studying Geology at UCL.
My username is alien/predator related. Xeno comes from Xenomorph, the species name of the Alien creatures in the Alien films. And Predator is pretty self explanatory.
Im a big fan of the Alien and Predator movies, and have long been collecting various figures, statues and stuff related to the films. Though I felt the Alien vs Predator movie itself wasn't very good (aside from like, ONE scene), I think the concept its based upon is really quite interesting. If you've read the books/comics related to AVP - it has a lot of potential for success. Im hopeful the upcoming "AVP2" movie will be better than the first attempt, and possibly set up a good stepping stone to get this franchise the respect it deserves and help it to expand further.
There was some good that came from the original AVP movie, and that is the new merchandise and figures that came about as a result. McFarlane figures (spawn.com) picked up the licence, and produced some really quite cool looking figures. Since then, a Japanese based company called Hot Toys has got more of my attention, making some incredible looking pieces based on the films creatures (albeit a little expensive).

Aside from AVP related interests, Im a big Arsenal fan and have supported them ever since I was a kid. The new emirates stadium is amazing, it really is. My favourite player of all time was Ian Wright, but my favourite players from the current squad are probably Cesc Fabregas and Thomas Rosicky.
Favourite Band: Metallica
Favourite TV shows: Battlestar Galactica, 24, Lost and Friends.
