HCG Aliens APC

[Moviefreak]

Just a heads up for your Aliens fans... we have a 4 feet+ Aliens M56 Smart Gun coming out at Hollywood Collectobles Group.

Anyone who visits the HCG booth at SDCC will get a sneek peak of the beauty. I have it here in hand and have been playing and looking over this thing for the past few hours and it rocks!! I have a few more alterations to make to it and then I will be photographing it for press releases, newsletters and the website. Keep an eye out!!

Any in hand pics of this yet?

It has been released here in Oz, but I am waiting on pics before I pull the trigger

I got my credit card exercised a few days ago. Will post pics when it arrives. As I'm in the UK, I'm not sure when that will be.

Cheers, look forward to it. :thumbsup

Mine arrived Friday. Will post some pics tonight.

Massive box, and the plinth alone is like a slab of concrete. Import duty to the UK on top of the purchase price? An eye watering £120.

edit...removed multiple posts above

found a vid online

some really poor areas in my opinion, the painted windscreen being the worst which isnt even flat.
a lot of rounded off areas which should be crisp angular lines.

Indeed. Anyone who saw my post some time ago will know this was something of an impulse buy when it was announced when I was *ahem* enjoying a brew or two.

A friend of mine was thinking of getting this, but neither him or I have any idea about the HCG model's accuracy. Does it worth $500 plus shipping in EU? Is it accurate enough?

Definitely not worth $500, looks like a 2nd generation resin casting model, warps ect.... wouldn't pay more than $250

Thanks.

To those that own the APC. Does the bottom of the APC have a floor or is it hollow? Just asking as if it's hollow then putting in an LED light would be a pretty simple process.

Got some feedback to my above question via the AliensLegacy. There is a floor and the lights are painted on. Not an easy LED fix unfortunately.

anybody purchased or received theirs?
