I noticed that while looking on Ebay the other night. I was thinking of putting the one I am in the process of s-l-o-w-l-y making on there... but we'll see.

I have one other that I recently purchased by accident so my cogs are turning day and night. If only I had hours to use at my disposal... I would be a customizing macheen. B)
 
Its not to hard to make believe it or not.Here's a lick to my photobucket with stages for a lot of stuff but not all I have done.I got a piece of thin wood and sculpted a design face down and let it dry ( with Weta air drying clay).The bad thing is it was cheap clay and totally crack, so i fixed it with plaster and smeared a thin coat everywhere to give that chaos look.Then dry and prime because plaster and clay craves fluids and soaks up the primer making it every hard.Got tubing for the bone looking things and used gorilla glue because it expands and looks crazy when it drys.And paint bam chaos. The cheap clay is bad news guys , good air drying stuff is 7$ for 2lbs,the stuff i used was 50lbs for 30$.If someone would like to do this for real ( alot of people want to but dont follow through, no pun intended)PM me and i would be more than happy to help.




U may have to search for the pics , i think its in the add ons.My photobucket is crazy mixed up.

This is how I bought my Elder being since he was the only one @ TRU. Apparently someone was trying to steal him and never was able to go through with it, so I guess I will have to hot glue him back to his card.

I want those P2 lost hunters(drools).But anyway i agree with Skullsplitter I hpoe you got a discount.And I hope to get my wave 3 soon sometime this month though.
 
What do you guys think neca will come out with after their lost pred line? I'm hopeing that they put out a avp1 syeries out. Haven't. Had a new scar, celtic, or elder from that movie since the mcfarline toy line. They never made a chopper figure on its own either. Would love to have these guys with neca's detail and on scale with the others. Maybe even the preds that got killed by the hybrid in AVP2. Just hope they don't stop after the lost line. So happy I finally got my elder been wanting a figure of him since I saw P2 when I was a kid, happy they finally made one.


P.s. would also love to see a neca queen alien!!!
 
i would love to see the Queen too with a ripley and power loader figure packed with them.and i wouuld love new AVP1 figures since i didnt have the old ones.and the only thing i would love to see for another AVPR line is a fully articulated Wolf, a fully articulated PredAlien, and the Ancient predator(the one that recorded the PredAlien killing the other Predator),i would love a TRU exclusive P1 Marines pack featuring all of them and Danny Glover. a TRU Aliens Marine pack featuring all the Aliens Marines. and a pack of Predators humans. that would be the ultimate icing on the cake.
 
FYI, I also recently purchased these, and upon opening my Elder, I went to pose his left arm, and I barely touched it and it snapped off at the elbow. I had to super glue it. This is the second one I have had trouble with. The first was the unmasked Berzerkers left knee snapping off.

Whats the point of the added articulation if the peg that holds the pieces on isnt strong enough to hold to move the joints ?

like i said before if they were just taken out of the box they are stiff as hell because some of the paint gets in the joints and locks the joint so run them over hot water for about 1 minute for each joint.Yea it may take a few but it will be easier than pulling the joint hope this works guys

Having snapped 2 arms and 1 leg on 3 figures out of 20, I will be doing this from now on. Thanks for the tip :lol:

I have never broken a figure but have had a lot of stiff joints that took me while to fix, I'll keep this idea in mind. :lol:
