Mysterious Stranger Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'd like to do the rest of the Nostromo crew but I think I'm going to wait and see what DST comes up with first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The books a million here is carrying the box set. I had no intrest before but now it'd be read easy to pick one up, maybe two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Wish I'd known these were available at BAM! My LCS forgot to order it and I have to wait a couple more weeks. Probably for the best, though, and I'm all about supporting local business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 My only nitpick is the red lips. Otherwise I'm happy with that incarnation, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 yea id prefer them light pink. maybe i'll paint them in, since i'm making 2 of these customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I just made the switch to Dana head/hair, and it is such a massive improvement. Hair is a little big, but matches some of the promotional pics she took. Original sculpt with Dana hair--really not at all clear that this was supposed to be Weaver based on sculpt IMO: Dana sculpt with Ripley hair. Strangely, some of the likeness gets lost with this sculpt, though Ghostbusters was closer to Aliens in terms of release date than Alien (and this is obviously an Aliens style hairpiece). It almost seems like DST could see into the future, and gave us a younger Weaver years back to use with this figure!: Dana sculpt with Dana hair: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 From the front, that hairpiece looks passable, but a profile view totally throws the likeness off for me. It's odd that DST just didn't reuse that existing tampo/hair for this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm guessing there was a likeness problem, they got it right im the past and they were totally off with green eyes and red lipstick. So there must be somthing up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) It almost feels like it was pushed out with parts from another figure or something. Here's the shot I was thinking of, where the Dana hair works pretty well IMO: Kind of wish they didn't paint those ears on, though.

youbastards Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) It's not perfect, but I whipped up a Dana Barrett face decal (with pink lips instead of red) for anyone looking to make their own.

Mystery Man Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Remove the opened jaw, replaced with a closed AlienS jaw? okay i'm happy with this. What hair's that? "Ready To Believe" Dana Barrett"? I can't sculpt stuff so existing stuff is my ticket. I'm loving this line and especially for the first film. I really do hope we get the rest of the Nostromo crew or at the very least, enough of them to build the remaining ones using existing parts. Not that I don't hope the same with all the Aliens cast. I do. Just... Alien first. Edited January 27, 2015 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Remove the opened jaw, replaced with a closed AlienS jaw? Yes, the lower jaw is just glued in place. I heated it and swapped the pieces with a spare closed mouth Alien and glued it back in place, then painted the teeth silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Great! I'll have to try that when I get home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm getting 2 sets so I'm totally making a closed mouth alien. And to finish the alien crew is really feasible. there are not many people in the movie. let's ask chuck so we can get the rest of the crew! I want to make a big alien dio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
