ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

[Qrest Fourstar]

So, I didn't have the money to order the HT Marines(set 1) when they were first made available to order, but what do you think my chances of my wait list being converted?

Thank god I have series 2 on order.

 

[paulcarson]

Having seen these I am seriously tempted to get one! Of course I'd have to have Les paint it for me !

To All "ALIENS" Freaks -

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Sincerely,
Dwayne

Remember, short controlled bursts!

FML HT Hicks
Thanks Les, you Rock!

More (Crew) Pics to Come!

Okay, here's a full shot of Dwayne. I have the Marines set up now in full gear but had to hit a Rose Bowl Party and lost light so as promised, they're coming soon! Happy New Year!

 

[pjam]

As promised, here is a first sneak peek of my HT Marines Series one set... more pics to follow!

Steady people.

 

[pjam]

Okay, here we go...
"The Bug Hunt"...

Hicks, I saw something move, two clicks, ten o'clock...

Yeah, I see 'em...

Al right, move in, steady...

A flare is thrown.... shaky fire ensues...

Individual Shots... First up, Vas... w/ FML eye tweak

Apone w/ Frontline Head and Customikey Repaint (with special thanks to Wor-Gar)

Look into my eye, Hudson...

Hicks w/ FML "Determined look" repaint...

Well, that's all for now, first time seen anywhere! Some pics better than others I know but all I have is a 3.2 mp...

Cheers! And again, Happy New Year!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I love this picture.

Your figures...ooops, Marines.... look great. Les' repaints work perfectly with the painting Customikey did on Apone. They really look awesome.

Now all you need is Ripley! And an Alien... and Hudson.... Drake... Bishop...

 

[gdb]

Love those marines, pjam. That Frontline head w/ Customikey's paint really makes the set. Those are the best pictures I've seen of the marines yet!

 

[figuremaster_les]

Love that Apone!

"Look into my eye!"

You're too much P!!!

Great paint Mikey! Love it! Cool pics!

 

[pjam]

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Okay a couple more parting shots from new angles/poses before I pack these babies up for safekeeping in the Sulaco awaiting Ripley et al...

 

[twistedfreak]

Nice pictures there, pjam! Those repaints rock! If you are putting them away, you can always send them to me so I can keep em... I mean 'hold onto' them.

 

[pjam]

Well thanks there tf, I appreciate the offer... but they're already frozen in their programmed sleep chambers, if I had only seen your post earlier!

Now, moving on, Rip, Drake and Hudson are coming soon (maybe end of Jan) Wor-Gar and I were trading speculation on series 3...

I'm guessing Bishop, Gorman and ????? Wor-Gar thinks they may include a Warrior (with facehugger and egg maybe?)

Anyway, any guesses to a Series 3 set?

btw, we're nearing 25,000 thread hits!

 

[twistedfreak]

My guess for a series 3 would be an Alien Warrior, possibly. Hell, we may see a scale dropship even. I doubt it though. But, they did do the ED-109 so it could be possible. I would like to speculate on maybe a Newt as well. Maybe they will do an egg pack even. Who knows. I would start collecting the Aliens line but I am blowing lots of money on all the AVP kits. I got 4 of those on order now.

I love your enthusiasm bro!
But a 1/6 Dropship?!?!?!? Even a 1/6 APC would be large, about 4 to 5 feet long! But a Dropship would be about 10 to 12 feet long bro! That's one hell of a Merry Christmas there dude! About $4000 too probably!
An APC, the wheeled vehicle, would be outrageous, and probably about $800 minimum.
Gotta love this kid's enthusiams though! Go TF!

Let's get more guys first! I think Pjam's call is about right. I'm betting a Newt/Bishop double set, a Gorman & a Carter Burke. That'd be my most wanted.
Oh...and a Warrior Alien! And a Power Loader...and an APC...and...

 

[pjam]

That's hysterical, yeah sixth scale vehicles would be humongous although we have seen a large scale T1 Hunter Killer prop recently so who knows...

I would LOVE a Bishop/Newt 2 pack but don't see a Rebecca anytime soon. If they do make her I hope it's with doll hair, otherwise it's get in the back of the line for me, right Les?

Yeah, I'm sticking with

Bishop
Gorman
And total guesswork here, I hope not Frost, although they already made his head with Apone, but my third would be a Warrior too.

Some may want a Burke, Carter J. just to shove him around but I would love to see Rebecca first as she basically served as Ripley's long lost daughter (remember Ripley promised she would be back for her daughter's 11th birthday before the incident at LV 426.)

But I also wouldn't mind "flying the friendly skies" with Ferro...

"SPUNKMEYER!"

or how about Barbara Coles .... as the Cocooned Woman w/ pop-open eyes and chestburster!

and Howard Chan will have the HT design team make a PL, bet on that... and, AND, they WILL figure out a Queen too...

 

[abake]

I'm guessing series 3 will be a warrior, Ferro and Gorman.
I'd go for all three...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Can I play too?

Yeah, P and I were batting around ideas last night and I at first thought Gorman, Bishop and Frost seemed likely -- Frost being the standard "Marine" in the set.

But then I got to thinking -- that's sort of a boring set, not for me, but maybe for the "army builders" out there. I mean, Frost would be a repeat of Hicks/Apone, and Gorman doesn't have a lot of gear and Bishop is, well, different but again not much in the way of armor or gear. So then it hit me... Maybe if they included an Alien Warrior to spice up the set it would help sell the others. Gorman, Bishop and Alien is what I hoping for. Although it is likely they'll sell aliens separately instead of including them in a "set" . But who knows? They're running out of key figures and will be into 2nd tier marines in the next bunch if they don't change it up somehow.

 

[pjam]

Just holding your place at the table there WG!

Yeah, GIVE ME A BUG, dammit!

Accessories:

Bishop: laptop, dish with dissected xeno and surgical instruments, and a knife for that pre-meal finger jabbing gamesmanship!

Gorman: additional bandaged head, mini nuke detonator, clipboard.

Vas to Gorman in DS: How many COMBAT drops?
Gorman: Two, including this one...

Let's not forget Gorman's heroic redemption: he helped pull that xeno off Ripley and sacrificed his life to blow that crawler in the airducts to save the others, he's okay in my book, bring him on!

Warrior: eggs baby, eggs and a facehugger would be great...

 

[Wor-Gar]

If they were really cool they'd make it so Bishop could break in half with some milky entrails!
