ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

[pjam]

pjam, these pics are outstanding!!!!! can you possible take a pic of her carrying her gun to see what it does to her elbows?

For you Reiny? Yes!... Pics...

Oops, her chest cord dropped out on this first pic

I think simply wrapping or taping the HT arms to thicken them a bit will solve this, there is just a little too much open space between the sleeves and arms... seems like an easy fix.

For you Reiny? Yes!... Standby please...

Aaaaaaaaaafirmative!

 

[Praetorian380]

I just bought the Brown HT Alien and after putting him together I am having a hard time getting his torso to stay where I have positioned it. It keeps wipping back to the original position it was in........kinda like it is top heavy or something.

Anybody else having these problems. This is my first HT Alien so I have nothing else to compare mine to.

Any update on Aliens Image Backgrounds MF?...

It's on the project list pjam, just haven't gotten there yet, actually haven't really had a chance to tackle the Jabba one any further. I wish I had some of these figures to join the fun you guys are having, c'mon shipping time for ALIENS warrrior

 

[Reinhardt]

thanks pjam! those pics are outstanding... a huge improvement with the arm sleeves!

Pjam did you have Les repaint your Vas? Looks fantastic.

 

[pjam]

Okay,

1) Thanks MaulFan. I understand bro, thanks for remembering us. I can NOT wait to see an image background for these guys, especially once the Aliens Warrior is released. Watch out Drake!

2) Reiny, I taped the arms around the elbow joints and it helped reduce the "crease" almost acceptable now, but again, overall, seeing the fig in hand like this is a MAJOR improvement. From different angles (as shown) you can she can now kick ass anytime anywhere!

3) Davey
Thanks bro. Yes I had FML repaint VAS last summer, it was part of a special deal to fund his trip to L.A. to visit Bob Burns, and Les and I almost actually met, we planned to. It was THIS close!

I love my VAS now...

About that Hudson-esque headsculpt:

I'd seen it on the scifimilitary forum. This figure was apparently packaged with a no-name set of USCM BDU's and was available in Asia.
I wanted the figure and kept checking under "uscm" in the action figure section of Ebay. I found the uniforms and bought one. It was simply "ok", not as good as Hot Toys or EVA and didn't have any insignia.
I kept looking and eventually found an ebayer offering the outfit AND body for 15.99. This head came on a strange brownish neckpost on a BBI G3.5 body. This happened a while back and I can't find this purchase on my Ebay account, but I think the seller was Toys General.

Thanks for the info grawnday. Toys General is a known seller of 1:6 items on ebay so that makes sense. I've been looking for nudes and headsculpts but so far haven't found it but at least that gives us something to go on.

Does anyone think there will be a series 3 for Aliens characters?

I enter as evidence that the Snap-Kits have no additional characters beyond what we already have offered in 1/6th right now. Curious.

 

[pjam]

I don't know, man. Howard keeps his cards close to his chest so your guess is as good as mine. We should know SOMETHING soon though, SDCC is around the corner...

You all know my best guess

Gorman
Bishop
Queen

Maybe Spunk too!

Anyway, got my VAS done. Now I'm gonna give Rip a heel lift... switch Stoner head to Hicks, use his for my Later Battle Reese and

WHERE'S HUDSON!

 

[dekadentdave]

I just hope they get the Alien license so we can get some Dallas, Kane, Ash, Brett, Parker and Lambert along with Ripley and Jones in Kitty Kennel.

I hope so. Bishop, Gorman, Burke, Newt, maybe the pilot [what was her name again?]
Of course the crew of the Nostromo would rock too!!!
Annnnnnnd, the Chronos head is IN play!!!!

What do you mean? You found one?

 

[Ironman1188]

See post #3023.

 

[dekadentdave]

I had almost forgotten about the Chronos versions. Did they ever get released?
I know that particular marine wound up joining a different corps:

Who is this figure? Where can we find him?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I would die... its that simple.

I hope they don't go the other way... Aliens 3 figures. A disappointment to me, but it would open the door for an Aliens 3 "dog" alien. Of course a line of AvP characters is also possible... to go with their figures already. Not sure who would buy any of them.

I'm sure Howard knows that the original "ALIEN" is THE ONE to get people's money. We can only hope they go for it. Not sure what the license hang-up is.

I hope so. Bishop, Gorman, Burke, Newt, maybe the pilot [what was her name again?]

I'm hoping for a Gorman, Burke and Bishop personally. Maybe not the best series as far as extras, but you got to have these guys. You just have to.

Anyway, now that Rambo 3 has been announced, it shouldn't be too long before we see something from the ALIENS line again, in some form.

 

[Ironman1188]

Who is this figure? Where can we find him?

Presently he stands to my right, newly adorned in his GL vest.
I acquired the head quite a while ago in a trade of many items. The eyes are painted off to the side as opposed to the Chronos prototype which were straight forward. Other than that it was the same until I started converting him into Guy Gardner.

 

[dekadentdave]

Do you have any idea where it came from? Is it for sure a BBI headsculpt?
