Building your MARINES - CORRECTLY

[THE IMMOBILIZER]

Cheers for the info guys I have another helmet on the way so maybe I will give it a go on it, I also have Vasquez head but was unsure as to what body to go for, I was thinking the same as dano669 by trying to use male arms on a hot toys female.

IF i am honest i dont know how that will turn out
if i was you i would use the Sheva Resident evil body for Vasquez

I don't know, Vasquez's arms are pretty thick. Neck especially, which is what really throws off the HT.

Not sure Sheva works any better:

Do you really think the Cheong arms look so bad?

I look at this now and I realize just how far HT has come since these figures were released.

Would I have to get Vasquez a repaint if I was to use the sheva body?

 

[THE IMMOBILIZER]

Ah WOR-GAR, the man behind the thread.
Thanks for this thread man.
Yes but, in this picture it looks the same as the body that Vasquez comes with.
I mean the closed joint body that she comes with.

 

[Reinhardt]

Cheung's arms FTW!

Cant tell you that becouse in pictures you cant tell if its exactly the same. And dont worrie about that ,the original HT vasquez is much 2 pale anyway.

My pleasure.

I haven't seen the closed-joint body. Maybe that would work then. I'm always looking to upgrade my own stuff.

And yes, Dic070, you probably need a repaint of Vasquez no matter what -- her face on the original HT is pasty white.

I really need to address these changes on my own figures. I'm thinking about peeling the rubber back on the neck and 'stuffing' it somehow to give her a good thick neck. Someone here with good skills could probably rebuild a great Vas body out of different HT body parts and really get the perfect proportions.

Cool paintjob on the vasquez head looks just like her .
Still think that the arms are a bit 2 big.
Maybe its becouse of the total package with the neck and all.

Hey Vasquez, have you ever bin mistaken 4 a man?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Are these the Sheva arms? Still look a bit thin.

 

[THE IMMOBILIZER]

Yeah WOR-GAR thats what i was talking about.
True maybe a little bit 2 thin.
But ,I think that it would get a better look then with just the cheong arm sleeves.

yeah but in those parts shes flexed up.I guarantee she did a few reps with the weights before filming because her arms dont look that solid all the way through the movie.She doesnt have man sized arms

Hows he powering the lights?hes not just running the leads down the back of the lamps and down the back of the legs to a base.

As far as i know they run on battery power.:emperor
The same thing crossed my mind a few moths ago.
It would b cool 2 never buy battery's but its not realy handy if you care 2 pose your figures.

 

[Reinhardt]

They run on batteries. I had them done for all my Marines.

 

[dano669]

Are the batteries in the shoulder lamp itself or are they in a base thats wired to the shoulder lamp.

Hurricane does a nice blinking tracker as well, so you can keep an eye on those pesky aliens.

I'm pretty sure they are in the base, but I can't confirm as all my Marines are packed away at the moment.

Hey Vasquez, have you ever bin mistaken 4 a man?

No. Have you? (sorry, but somebody had to say it)

 

[THE IMMOBILIZER]

I was waiting 4 somebody 2 say that.
No, have you?. Vasquez, your just 2 bad.

Frankensteining a new body from HT parts.
Maybe its the green s#it in my smoke that i just burned but, this realy made me laugh a bit

Anytime anywhere
