T MINUS A FEW HOURS FOR MAULFAN'S ALIENS WARRIOR PICTACULAR!...

OR SOONER!

TAKE IT AWAY MF!
:cool: :monkey5

He's hereeeeeee :) T minus about 5-6 hours, damn jobs, it's a viscious circle, to enjoy the collectibles, I need to not have a job, but to buy the collectibles, I need the money from the job, round and round we go. I will however get confirmation on the hand situation during my lunch break and update everyone on that.
 
Just thought I'd share a quick photo I took of my Hicks which arrived this morning :chew (next to my work in progress Hudson) I should have some accurate headsculpts for these two before long.



Im really glad I got this figure :) next on my list is Vasquez but I'l have to wait a while as Im broke now lol

I definately need to get the Aliens warrior also but Im not sure if I should try to complete the whole collection. My first thought was to get the gang which survive the nest battle, but that would mean making a custom Bishop and Gorman (plus Newt and Burke which doesnt sound like much fun)
 
Sorry gang, :( wasn't able to crack him open during lunch, but first thing when I get home tonight, it's a bug hunt.

Lucky. I am still waiting for mine to arrive from England. I hate waiting.

STENDEC, I have a Hudson head, the one known as the Chronotoys head ($15 each unpainted), and hope, by week's end, to have cast up HT Stoners for anyone interested. I am getting some more casting material this week.
I may not have time to paint them, but I can at least try to supply the gap out there for these without the Ebay battle for the Hicks heads. They won't cost more than $10 each unpainted (You'll have to add more for shipping). These both will be in VERY limited supply.
Look over the Frontline and Chris' EVA Hudson heads as well, for that character. But, if you can't find a Stoner, if you save your neck post mount, this new cast head will fit it, I promise.

I'll know more after the weekend.

Congrats on your Hicks catch. That is one hard figure to snag!
 
Thanks Les for the heads up (no pun intended lol) on sourcing headsculpts but I got it covered. A great artist here in the UK is painting a EVA Hudson head for me plus I'l have a Hicks and another Hudson before long by a guy here in the UK.

Yeah Im really pleased at getting my Hicks :) Still, if Hudson and Hicks had been released simultaneously I'd still have chosen Hudson first. Hes my favourite character in the movie plus his armor was alot more detailed and interesting.

Loking forward to see those warrior pics later Maulfan.

Indeed it is, my Hicks got shipped out today, should get to me in a week or so :) finally. I have to say, I am very glad HT improved their promotional images from the old style. I never ordered Hicks when it was new because the images of him all were dimly lit, which was good for the film atmosphere, but trying to show off the toy, I couldn't tell at all what the face looked like and I was hesitant to order an $80 figure in the blind like that, plus I was unaware of the ease to swap heads and the Biehn options out there, but now I know, and I paid a bit for him, but not eBay raping price, and soon I'll have both Aliens holy grail figures from this line :) Thanks Mudshark!!!

Looking forward to taking them, so don't want to be working right now, or supposed to be working anyway, but I have to sneak away once in a while to talk to my fellow freaks :)

How excited are you MF? You must be going nuts, man.
 
And I should be getting my OOAK Custom Bishop back from Callous today or tomorrow so I'm going nuckin' futs too... :lol
 
I'm going pretty nuts, I haven't been able to do more than open the shipping box to confirm what was inside was the right warrior, haven't even gotten to plastic tray level...oh well, just a few more hours now, but as Hudson would say, I'm not gonna last a few more hours :)
 
"We're not gonna last 17 minutes with that thing crawling around there (your HT tray box) ... :lol

This pre-game tailgating is making me crazy too...

I hope Bishop gets here today to hold me until then...
 
Oh what the heck!
Here's a couple:

That second pic looks like a repaint? Blue highlights and darker overwash... maybe not!

Thanks abake!
