Aug 12, 2007 08:22 AM VERNON, CA, US ARRIVAL SCAN

Yep! I just remembered mine will be here tomorrow as well

Can't f'n wait to see this figure in person!!!

 

[pjam]

After a brief hiatus from my work, I finally got going again. Here are the crawlers, I'll convert it to wallpapers soon.

PERFECTO! MAGNIFICO! BRILLIANT! IT TOTALLY ROCKS DUDE!

 

[galactiboy]

Out for delivery... :chew:chew

Soon, very soon he shall be mine!!!

Question to our esteemed customizers:

Has anyone given any thought to making larger back tubes for the Aliens warrior?
I mean, HT's are clearly too small/short...
I'm sure some large, more accurate back tubes would help greatly in improving the figure's overall look (not that it looks bad).

Larger in what way, thickness? The ALIEN and ALIENS warrior suits had tubes that stuck out less from the body than the later suits in Resurrection and AVP.

 

[abake]

The tubes (although not as long as the A:R/AvP variety), were a lot longer than what you see on the HT figure. Also, they were the same length (or almost the same length), all four.
It's a minor thing, but I think it would help the silhoutte of the alien look more accurate, and it seems to be a minor recasting job, using McF's as a template.

Anyway, I just just wondering if anyone had thought of it.

My Warrior has been delivered!!! Just checked the UPS website and saw that magnificent word: Delivered.

I am running home right away to check it out. Will try to post some pics tonight, but if not tonight, this week for sure.

WOOHOO!!!!!!

WOOHOO!!!!!!

Awesome Reiny, You crack me up more than I do to myself (running out to stalk the brown truck)

When was the last time we did stuff like this, run home or chase trucks for a toy?

 

[galactiboy]

Ha ha, I just did the same thing... saw it was delivered and raced home.

Gotta say this figure isBadass!!!

Pretty sure nothing is broken... the ankles are a bit weak, but seems similar to the AVP Alien in that respect. But everything else is excellent, paint work is fantastic (not as nice as Les, but still great for production) articulation is great and he just looks soooo damned aggressive! Couldn't be happier!

Here's a couple quick shots:

Also, I was a little worried about the seam line being noticeable, but in person its not an issue.

 

[abake]

Awesome, congrats guys!

I'm a bit worried, 'cause I haven't heard a thing from HT regarding any replacement parts...

 

[pjam]

Congrats gb, you got a good bug there bro!

[MaulFan]

Ya, I know some freaked about the seam from some of my early closeups but in 1:1 scale, it's very minimal. As far as looking badass, I don't think this figure will be topped, except maybe by the Queen. If/when they make a Giger ALIEN warrior, that SHOULD look much more of a collected, calm predator, it never really looked aggressive, but this figure looks ready to rip your face off, and I love it.

ROCK ON GB! That is one cool fig ain't it!

I note most folks prefer those solid hands, the angry posed ones. I like the bendys better, as they look more ALIEN to me. But, whatever rings ones bells I guess.
I might try the stiff ones sometime. I just don't like action poses, and those demand it.

 

[abake]

Hey Les, have you given any thought to doing bigger/longer back tubes for the warrior?

From the man who said he'd never buy one!

I actually prefer the non-bendy hands. Much more imposing. The bendy's would be good if you plan on displaying him in that "praying mantis" pose right before he takes out Dietrich. Whichever you prefer. We need some more Lesterized shots of the warrior.

 

[galactiboy]

But, those are the bendy hands... I just had them posed a bit. I actually haven't put the solid ones on yet.

But yeah, I think this is definitely the Alien figure to beat... but I could see a really kickass Giger doing it (for me its still the preferred design) and at this point I can't even imagine what a Queen would be like And I'm still just blown away how well the articulation is engineered and hidden on this figure... just amazing!

Did you get yours yet Pjam?

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Usually I'm very patient with the SSC delivery's (have too--> Europe ), but the more pix of the Aliens warrior I see, the more impassioned i become!!! I got the processing mail for this baby a long time ago, and haven't heard about it ever since...

Les, your warrior is the most perfect IMO. That paint job is wow. That's the way this beast is supposed to look!
I hope that the joints on my Alien are alright, 'cause I hate to send it back to SSC (couldn't fix it myself...).

 

[Reinhardt]

nothing you guys haven't seen, but a few more pics. overall, an awesome figure, although very loose ankle joints! any ideas on how to tighten them??

and a cool widescreen shot:

 

[MaulFan]

Reinhardt, is it just your images, or is your warrior that heavily colored all over, meaning lots of shades in him eveywhere? Mine has the colors very subtly worked into it, the limbs are mostly black and the color is mainly in the body, so I'm just wondering how much paint variation there may be accross the production run.

 

[dekadentdave]

Yeah what's with the blue ring on his dome?
