Hey guys, just got mine from the NA / Canadian distributor, he was literally just unpacking the cases.....
I bumped into Hot toys a few years back & can easily say their SAS & Seal are THE most detailed in my collection, I mean c'mon, 1 has a compass that's liquid filled & works.... the Marmit stuff & the Medicom SW stuff are pretty close but Hot Toys has got to take the cake.
Back to the Aliens figures - overall impression: Awesome. Get over the errs in facial likeness, & IMO these are done RIGHT.
No more customs, wait until u see the painting & drybrushing.
The accessories are incredible - pull-down helmet sight, Hicks' leather "close encounters" shotgun bag, the mounting armature for Vasquez' BFG is spring loaded, lighting system removable from armor etc etc.
IMO these'll be perfect for scaling.
O.k. here's another something - Vasquez' torso is latex / rubber over an armature so u can, ahem, squeeze things.... kinda creepy.... but fun (of course.) :angel
Sorry no pics, but if somebody wants to throw 'em up I've already taken some detailed shots last night - Friday night is "toy room / mancave" night so they'll be put together then - & yes, they come totally unassembled....
Rock 'n roll :thumbsup & stay frosty B)
