"New Aliens - 3D miniatures - look great!" Topic

I dont know how I missed the news but they look great!
Anyone have them, how are they?
They would make great villians for the Victory Force Space crew.

Interesting, they look like more menacing Sectoids, or taller Furons.

May need to order some of these.

Here is what DWW had to say about the ones he received:

I am hoping mine come today…

I couldn't have said it better myself…or rather…I already did? *slish*

My personal 'favorite' is the bloke with TWO 'blasters'…kinda the alien equivalent of Bruce Willis in that pulp movie…or several Die Hard movies…or Fifth Element…or…well, just about any Bruce Willis film where he has 'guns'…

Hey, it works for 'The Shadow' too…(two fisted 45/pulp blazing action)..only with NEUTRON BLASTERS! makes much cooler sounds and bigger HOLES in things… Yee-haaaa!!

Wasnt' that a scene from The Black Hole where Charlie Pizer came with double-barreled lasers blasting from both hands!!!

that was sooooooo Cool!..

*slish…slish…
Sgt DWW-time to 'arm' my THRADE…(literally, I'm doing the drill vise/pin thing…)

Would that be the equivalent of Bruce Willis in "Last Man Standing" (or in this case, "Last Grey Standing")? :)

Would you guys go for custom bases/casualty markers for human victims? I was thinking of making a few metal bases with a human skull/rib cage on them, etc.

@Crusoe….

Can I be 'honest' with you? While the idea of metal bases with 'victim bits/skulls/ribcages or as 'casualty markers' is a neat idea..

I can honestly say, 'I can do my own' probably cheaper…using 'bits' and stuff/because I HAVE done that/am still doing that. THIS IS JUST MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION, others may disagree totally, etc…I'm just putting in my 'tuppence'…ok? (no harm, no fowl..chirp!)

What I'd RATHER see you spending time/money/getting out NEXT…would be MORE 'aliens'…or THRADE stuff…(like you've shown us in your 'previews/computer renderings'…the hover platform..or other aliens or 'hounds'…etc…

There is a 'plethora' of bases and bits to do Casualty markers from…(not that you might not have a 'better mousetrap'…type design…)..BUT…you've started STRONG with the 6-figure THRADE…(which with arm varients ALONE, offers the chance to make a BUNCH of different poses/variations!!! 8-)

I'd like to see you folks CONTINUE in that 'vein'…with some more THRADE stuff…like the hounds or 'heavy weapons' or the vehicals…etc???

I'm sure you've seen the 'Greys' that others have done…including 'walker platforms' etc…(not naming any names here as I like ALL sorts of 'aliens')…but there really aren't enough DIFFERENT 'aliens'…

I guess I could 'compare' the THRADE 'hounds' to Kroot-ish Hounds and their handlers…but THOSE weren't the FIRST, nor will they be the LAST…

The question is price, availability, VERSATILITY and most 'use/zap' for the buck/dollar/pound/dinero/filthy lucre…etc.

So, JUST 'speaking for myself'…(others may agree or disagree)…I'd say…'More THRADE/Aliens please'…BEFORE you put time/money/effort/possibly DELAY other releases by doing 'alt bases/casualty markers'.

'Down the road'…when you have MORE 'aliens' and figure series to offer…THEN, maybe casualty markers/bases with bits of DIFFERENT 'victims', from Human to Thrade to ???? might really at that 'extra UMPHH!' to the line…but can we have MORE 'critters' FIRST, please???

Respectfully submitted,
Sgt DWW-bartentacle playing with his toys…and hopeing more will be coming out before CHRISTMAS???? 8-) *slish*
