I'll do a reduced rate for the group based on my regular rate of $40 per head. How does $30 sound?

I'm working on Hicks for someone else now, so I can put up pics when he's done!

Thanks Mikey, we'll check back in with ya, the OSW shots of Hicks have his eyebrows too thick IMO.

Wow....Those heads just make me want to repaint the eyes on mine. I seriously need to get my eye painting skills down already!!!
I don't know if you've heard of this trick, but Boot 25 suggests drawing in the circles for the irises with a pencil first just to get them centered right, using that as a guide when painting them.

Does that price include the head or just the paint work?
I'd be down for a Apone at that price. Now I just need to find the $30. :(

Paint work and it's worth it, believe me, especially when you consider HT Drake and Ripley are coming and the 16" HT Alien Warrior works for these IMO.

It would be worth it, it's just it'll cost me about $45 in the end, and I doubt I can spend that with my Sideshow orders and all that's coming. Besides, I still haven't bought a Vasquez yet. :eek:
 
Good news, it appears the HT Vasquez has dark brown hair instead of light brown as shown in the proto pics...

here is a pic of a Vasquez nude body and head

How'd you get your Vasquez already, P? I don't get my 3 marines until maybe July 5th. Can't wait. I'll finally put up Mikey's APONE head with the Apone body. Patience, Mikey.

Yeah, I'd be in for a Hicks head from FL. I'm assuming the head that comes with "Hicks" just isn't going to cut it with the Apone sculpt next to it. Of course, I won't really know until I get these figures in front of me.

How does the Hicks head look, P? I remember you saying that you were going to stick with the HT Hicks sculpt before, now it seems like you've changed your mind, so does that mean the Hicks sculpt is too bland?

If so, Mikey, get your brushes ready! :D

I found that pic on ebay, my Marines come in Friday 7th.
 
The Hero Heads Hicks is going very well! The sculpt looks phenominal. I need to order some heads myself, but he didn't respond to my email. Do I need to just send the order form, etc. through snail mail? Is this the ONLY way?
 
I think Snail Mail is the only way to go to order the Frontline Heads...but it is sure worth it! Mikey is currently painting up an Apone and Hicks for me, and I can't wait to see them. The included Hicks head is better than the prototype makes them look, but the Frontline heads are such great sculpts. I received Hicks and Vasquez and just waiting on Apone right now. Hot Toys has really raised the bar in terms of quality for armor, weapons, etc... I can't wait to order the new Alien/Predator kits too now!

Hey Mikey. Lonnie at Frontline may be on vacation. As Pjam said, we may do another group thing with the FL Hicks head. Maybe we can buy you the Hicks/Apone heads you want as part of that order if we do another deal. Let me know if you're up for that.

I'm supposed to get my marines on July 5th BTW.

I want to see my guys in hand together (Hicks, Vasquez, Apone w/FL Mikey repaint) before making any decisions, Apone was a no brainer...
