I am so tired of searching that I am even considering converting some of these shorter figures into Greys:

Any suggestions?

Sculpt your own robes onto a "naked" figure, perhaps? Not really that hard to do hanging robes like that. Cloth in motion is much trickier than static poses.

Why do you need robed figures, greys are sexless.

"Sexless", oh, I don't want to be a gray.

Oddball12 Oct 2006 9:02 a.m. PST

I think that "Pulp Figures" had some robed figures in a cult members set.

Well, the squad of 6 are at the printers now, so hopefully in the next week we'll get them back.
The emissary,weapons platforms and hunter hounds should go to the printers in a week or so.
Not doing pre-orders yet (or got a price yet!) As we are looking for a distributor/manufacturer/shop thingy! to sell them for us.

cheers for the interest,

GZG do a robed grey alien.

sim2000: In metal or resin?

After you get them back from the printers, how long are we talking? Weeks, months, a year or more?

These are roughly 28mm, right? (Seeing as how you responded to a 28mm request.) I didn't see anything on the blog about scale, but I might have missed it.

As you can tell, there's a definite market waiting.

sim2000 – they llok awesome – especially the disc flying weapons platforms.

dfdfdfdf12 Oct 2006 12:48 p.m. PST

hello all, yes they are 28mm white metal. Its gonna be about a week at the printers then a week to get them cast.
I'd really like them to be available in 2-3 weeks.

cheers

Who knows what grays look like under those stupid-looking suits with big eyes.

Ambassador12 Oct 2006 2:12 p.m. PST

Greys do have sex. You didn't think those anal probes were about research, did you?

Actually, they do reproduce sexually, like bees, but we've never seen one of their queens.

ming3112 Oct 2006 3:39 p.m. PST

Those are niffty aliens

Personal logo Dances With Words Supporting Member of TMP Fezian12 Oct 2006 4:21 p.m. PST

Redroom12 Oct 2006 5:11 p.m. PST

Post a message here when they are ready for purchase.

nvdoyle12 Oct 2006 7:25 p.m. PST

Whoa, whoa, whoa…how come I haven't heard of this line before? Okay, yeah, they're not made yet, but those look great!

Cacique Caribe12 Oct 2006 8:09 p.m. PST

OH-MY-GOD!!!

Sim2000, those look AMAZING!

Someone should just make all the aliens from the game X-com UFO defense into miniatures. That would be cool.

Crusoe the Painter13 Oct 2006 7:56 a.m. PST

I'm working with sim on these. I'm trying real hard to get production lined up. We're shooting for sometime in November.

Personal logo Dances With Words Supporting Member of TMP Fezian13 Oct 2006 9:20 a.m. PST

PLEASE let us know here or can we email you to get on the waiting/pre-order list???

Cacique Caribe13 Oct 2006 12:25 p.m. PST

The four armed guys are another race of aliens at a very very early stage of work.

The Thrade is the name is the name of the pseudo-grey aliens we've been working on.
