I see a lot of people saying the ab-crunch is a bit weak. I'm not too concerned, because I was planning this pose since it has the relaxed lips.

I would assume that pose is possible. Anyone want to reassure me with a pic?

As for the lips, if I can snag one I'll definitely be darkening them up a bit. They just seem too white to me. And I'll probably darken the front of the dome as well. I always thought knowing the skull was under there was cool, but I don't like how every piece of merch has to blatantly put it on display when it was pretty much impossible to see on screen. Having it on full display kinda removes some of the mystery of a "faceless" creature.

You read my mind. I was thinking about gently misting the dome especially in the front. I don't want to see but a tiny hint of eyes and maybe none at all. The lips will take a mist of Tamiya smoke or something similar. The thing that concerns me the most now is the way the top teeth buck out. Doesn't look right.

I very much doubt that pose is possible.
 
Maybe a grey wash on the lips , but really in person they look Shiney and wet.

Even if all the other joints were stiff, the thing would topple over without a heavy base (preferably nailed to the wall or shelf) holding it back.

I think P. just can't get past the opacity and whiteness of the lips. If they were a little more translucent and darker/muddier, it would be a dead ringer for the Rambaldi head. It's already incredibly close. I certainly wouldn't say it looks "nothing" like it, as P. so willingly exaggerated.
 
I always seem to custom a little on every figure. The smaller the custom the better the figure. The power loader got the metal grate top from the cloth. The dog alien got a repaint all over (sculpt was incredible ) but on the big chap the white tendons were bothering me. So gave them a grey brown tone. Small but world of difference before and after. uploadfromtaptalk1449717139988.jpg

I like it, I figured it was the color that made it look so weird. I actually like both versions, the white looks kind of crazy looking. I think anyone that didn't like the original look should do that. Killer job
 
Thanks yeah I felt they took away from the face. Now it just blends. Grey didn't work on its own too much brown tone in general.
