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

Well, it looks same as mine, and it's not really a ring, but all of those shots have a light reflection off the dome in a location that makes the dome look to have a blue ring.

Did you get yours yet Pjam?

Came in about an hour ago, put together, except for the horns on the back, a couple kept falling out, overall sick fig, working some poses with him, hip joints seem a little loose in some poses but it may be a balance thing, still need to familiarize myself with posing it, ankle joints do hold fine and all joints are in good shape although the feet slip off with extreme posing. Just an amazing piece...

Standby for further reports and pics coming your way and congrats to all who got theirs today!

 

[MaulFan]

Glad to see you guys having success with your warriors, would seem that there was just a bad batch somewhere in the mix.

 

[Reinhardt]

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.

it's mainly my images. there are no greens in the fig, it's just lighting. my fig has all colors subtly added, like you are describing. outside of the loose ankle joints, LOVE IT!

Thanks for the info. The camera can play tricks, but it wouldn't be the first figure to have inconsistent paint apps either. Enjoy him, he does ROCK!!!

Okay, just a couple pics for ref, still need to get used to this guy...

Standard pose on grid base...

And none too happy as he responds to an intrusive flashlight beam...

Nice pose Paul, the hands give it a "come and get a piece of this" battle stance.

Congrats guys! I am not surprised at either the loose ankles bit, or the colors being odd to the eye, but they still do look great!

And Paul, takes some getting used to, I know. He is different, still, but very pleasantly and surprisingly, cool. More than I ever thought.

Oh, and Dek, the guy who talked some sense into me! Still glad you did! Man, am I glad!

I will take some new photos, Dave. I FINALLY got a nice tripod for my camera, so I can now enter the realm of CLEAN, natural or at least, low light, shots now. About time. Not sure how to yet. I'll experiment with the Alien.

But, let's see what these guys have got going on. Reinhardt, love your colors man! Really nice ones!

They mostly come out at night... mostly.

Thanks Sean and Les, I finally figured how to pose this thing, you know, what the HT Design team spent so much time, ah, designing... using the tail as a counterweight to balance the fig for poses... Duh... ok, now I get it, use the damn tail to balance the fig and you'll get a ton more poses to hold.

man i have had that little girl in my head saying that this whole week!!!!!!!!.

 

[pjam]

P!tu, Duuude, You can't say that without reposting this pic, my fave so far... of mine that is.

I may turn this into wallpaper/screensaver if I knew how. Btw, this pose has held for over an hour!

 

[Reinhardt]

sweet pics Paul!! and yup the tail is key to balancing!!! I learned that the hard way myself.

what photo program do you have? I have easyshare and all I need to do to set photos as a wallpaper is right click and choose set to desktop.

 

[pjam]

Thanks PROWL there is a feature with my Picasa, so I'll try that.

Thanks IJ and greetings from the "I just got mine and it kicks all kinds of asss camp". You will be blown away, trust me. Gets some getting used to, remember to use the tail for balance posing but I gar-an-t you will appreciate this fig more every hour you own it!

Ghetto, lovin' that, very nice pose there. Haven't done the fixed hands yet but I dig 'em.

 

[Stendec]

Congratulations on recieving your Aliens Warrior P!!

At last, all your bad *** marines have something to shoot at lol

This figure looks extremely impressive and I love how the articualtion really brings it to life with all the cool poses Ive seen.

 

[pjam]

Thanks STENDEC!

It's gonna be pretty tough if not impossible for me to top that last pic with my old Sony 3.2 megapixel. The Warrior pics posted here are so amazing so I'll be moving on to some group shots soon.... Warrior V Marines. I have another grid floor set coming, so I'll snap a few shots before having my bug "lesterized" and the lamps and MT sent off to Hurricane in merry 'ol England.

Btw, my Warrior is STILL holding that pose.
