12-INCH ALIEN VS. PREDATOR UNLEASHED
Two Science Fiction Heavyweights Collide in Large-scale Action
Soon the hunt will begin.
Through the silent darkness of space, where no one can hear you scream, a species of noble hunters comes to Earth in order to initiate their young into adulthood. In an enormous, ancient structure buried deep beneath the Arctic snow, three Predators must prove their worth against a swarm of acid-blooded Alien killers. And with that, the scene is set for an epic battle to the death. A battle between inhuman combatants. A battle that may alter the course of mankind's future.
