Dboz, just a suggestion, you might want to remove the collar on Drake's shirt.

Yee-Haw! Finally scored a Vasquez for $99.99 on the 'Bay! I know, I should have scored it when it came out for $89.00, but I'll take it now for an extra $11 for being such a slacker. I've been seeing Vasquez go oin the 'Bay lately for $160 or more! Glad I got my Hicks when it came out...the prices he's going for now are INSANE!!!

Hmmm.. so this is you?

Now that's pretty neat!

Ripley, Hicks, Hudson, Drake, Vasquez, Apone and now Bishop. That's the Magnificent 7 I'd like to have. Well done, P.

Now lets see 'em all lined up.

I considered it, but doing the sleeves was a pain in the ass, and I've already geared him back up with the smart gun, so, I think I'll live with it as is.

OMFG I dont believe it!!!!!

Had to post this here since there's no ALIEN section, but I put in for waitlist reservations back in October for Apone, Hicks and Vasquez. I figured WTH, I had nothing to loose. I got series 2 of the figures, but have felt odd not having series 1.

Well, I just got an e-mail stating my Vasquez has been converted!!


Guess waitlists are worth it after all...


Now, lets keep hoping for Apone and Hicks!

Awesome man!!! I've been on the waitlist for the Celtic Predator for months but I figured there will be no chance in hell of getting him. I just got on the list for Vasquez and Apone. I passed on them initially but I have have all of them but those two so I figured WTH!

why is Vasquez so hard to find or sought after these days? just two months ago she was shelf warming....

Since the announcement of the Power Loader and Alien Warrior, everyone has been clamouring to complete their set of Colonial Marines.

Thanks WG,

I'm sure one day soon you will. My guys are Close but not quite ready for their wake-up call. The Marines' clothes are being dirtied up, also armor, weapon detailing, etc. Should be soon though!

Well, wouldn't you know as soon as I get my Chronostoys Hudson head from Da Figuremasta I get an e-mail from Chris Chulamanis at EVA toys informing me that he now has resin headcasts of Hudson available to order again on his site for $7. For those that missed out on the fabulous Chronostoys sculpt this might be another alternative for some again until (if/when/ever) Lonnie reveals his FL sculpt:

Hey Dave,

Got the OK from Bill so I have Hudson Heads available. Only bare resin heads will be available.

I know you don't need it now but it's worth a look. It's the same as the one on my site.

OK to let others know too.

TKS again.

VBR,
Chris

Man, that's an eerily good likeness, painted right that'd look perfect.

 

[abake]

Looks great!
Much better than their Hicks.

Hudson sir, he's Hicks.

 

[Reinhardt]

look into my eye...

Hudson sir, he's Hicks.

WOW!
NOW, everyone starts chiming in with Hudsons!

Where's Lonnie's?!

Anyway, I hope those of you that got the Chrono redo are happy with it. Just know, I can make more of those later, if need be, and I have contacted Chris about getting one of these too. I want to see it painted before I can say whether I really like it or not. Something about the mouth...but the eyes and brow and head shape are great!
Anyway, looks like no shortage of Hudsons now. Might can have a whole set that you can change out depending on your display needs! All we need now is one in a state of complete and utter panic!

Great find Dave!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

This looks to be a decent likeness.

I did get my Hudson head from Les over the weekend at I love it. Haven't had a chance to get my Hudson figure put together yet though.

By the way, Thanks Les! The sweat effect is awesome. Can't wait to get some more sculpts to you for repaints.

 

[Mudshark]

I'd like to have one of him with the look of horror he had on his face during Bishop's knife game in the galley. That was priceless.

H: "Hey Bishop! Not me, man!"
D: "Yeah, you!"
H: "AhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"...

 

[pjam]

Not diggin' the mouth or chin/jawline on this sculpt but the eyes, browline and forehead look decent.

I'm very happy with my FML Hudson, kicks ass!

 

[dekadentdave]

That wasn't funny man!
