Thanks. I searched their site and couldn't find the MVD armor. I also looked through BBI figures to try and find that headsculpt but couldn't find it. If anyone recognizes the source please let us know. He'd make a great base for a Hudson repaint.

YES! If just ONE of these Hudson-esque heads is found....
We got heads!
If Lonnie has fallen into a black hole that is...
I still want his if it is what I hope it to be.

But this interesting one has EXACTLY the expression I wanted on my own Hudson. That wired and stressed look with a slightly open mouth.
I hope one can be found. We'll all benefit if so.
And to repaint that one! AHHH! I hope we can find one. :D

SOMETHING!
 
I took some pics of my hot toys brown alien with different colors of light

Since I suck at making pics in the dark 2 are a bit blurry.

It's a pretty nice item :)
 
That brownie is a beauty, nice pics, would love to see one in natural light...

I'll have new Vas pics coming (with arm sleeves)...
 
Wow! That is a great set of pics!

Any in good real light? I want to buy one, but haven't seen enough good REAL COLOR pics to warrant it yet. And details etc.
I want to revamp him for an ALien Res version but am not sure how much repainting it would need.

Great shots though. Dark is good! :D
 
*GULP!*
Uh oh! I've gone and done it now! :lol

Well, ok....

SO, there may be TWO heads to choose from soon!

LONNIE!!! Where are you when we need you most, bro! :rotfl
Anything! A crumb....an in progress...a later this month....
"You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue!"

Just ribbin. Hope the head is soon though.

And thanks Steve. We'll see what comes of that one.
 
Anytime, anywhere...

Okay, guys, here's the deal, so far. The Cheong sleeves ARE an improvement but need some work. The wrists were too wide so I had to cut and tape to tighten and the elbows do stick out a bit. I am in mid futz with this pic but you can see they WILL work. The sleeves, especially at the shoulder can easily be adjusted, turned to get what you want and they are a bit puffy on the arms. Also when the elbow joints are bent there is a tendency for the sleeves to fold or crease but the smart gun poses are not a problem.

Overall I think she looks more like Vas... still more tweaking to do but IN HAND she looks even better... and the sleeves are tan! Thanks to ALL for resourcing this for us. :cool:

Yes!!! Thanks for the pic! BTW, did you happen to check out the link to the BDU shirt she wore in the movie? If not, here it is again... https://www.harryharris.com/vshirt.htm

You can see that the sleeves weren't just torn off, but removed and tailored, turning her shirt into a vest. I especially like the "LOCO" lettered on the back! :cool:

Drake also had a great T-shirt that Hot Toys neglected to include...bummer! I'm looking for a suitable substitute that I can possibly screen print the design onto. Anyway, here's his T-shirt... https://www.harryharris.com/tee.htm :D

His eyes are hazel/green. I know...I've seen them in person! :D

But in ALIENS, at times, they looked very light. ALmost bluish. Remember when he turned around to the camera while looking at the facehugger in the lab? They seemed very light then. And with Cameron's blue tint to everything, hard to get the tone just right.
But, for Bishop, err to the lighter shade. He always had wide open and very bright colored eyes. Seemed a bit dazed looking.

Alright, here's the shot but it looks more green...

AND we MUST get that Chronos headsculpt for Hudson!

Any update on Aliens Image Backgrounds MF?... :D
 
In addition to the comment above...

Has anyone here tried bleaching the BDU's to more accurately represent the marines faded clothing?

I'm curious if a quick bleaching OR a bath in brown acrylic wash would work better. The camo pattern is so vivid to me, it needs to come down a bit.
