So Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem wasn’t very good. And it didn’t have many big stars (outside of the two iconic extra terrestrials). But Inkworks did what they could to make a solid set for fans of either (or both) franchise. 2007 Inkworks Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem trading cards came with a loaded box configuration that promised an autograph, costume card and sketch card.
The base set has 81 cards. The story line gets a thorough recreation. The characters also get their profiles, which is amazing considering little of their personalities came through in the script.
2007 Inkworks Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Hits Hard
The Autographs checklist has ten actors. None are huge names, though. Reiko Aylesworth leads the way. She was probably best known for a fairly substantial role in TV’s 24.
The main Pieceworks lineup has 11 cards. All come with swatches of costumes used in the film. A couple of the are dual-costume cards. Adding a chase element are three variant versions. Rarer cards featuring a jacket worn by John Ortiz came with fur and piece of patch. While the common regular version can be found in packs, these variants were inserted as redemptions. PW6, which uses a top worn by Kristen Hager, has a rarer thick version compared to the regular one.
A couple of Pieceworks cards were also used as dealer incentives. Two cards, PW12A and PW12B, fit together and form a puzzle. They were given out to those ordering multiple cases of product at the time of its release.
For most of the company’s products, two premium inserts were the most collectors would get in a box. 2007 Inkworks Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem boxes also come with a sketch card. A total of 16 artists worked on the set. Among them are several different styles. The quality ranges. Some are plain pencil sketches, albeit detailed. Others are inked and many have full color. Sketch cards are serial numbered based on the artist. Ingrid Hardy is the toughest to find with 193 cards. The rest are all very similar in numbers, right around the 300 mark.
Additional Inserts
The product has three more basic inserts, all of which roughly follow the Inkworks template. Battlefield on Earth is a nine-card foil puzzle. Massacre on Main Street has six embossed foil cards. Rather than going to traditional three-card box loader route, Deadly cards are inserted in packs.
The 2007 Inkworks Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem checklist is rounded out by a case loader card.
