Hm I think I'll do that tomorrow. It's getting late and I am too tired to load them up again.
I'll write my impressions for now. Great looking figure. Comes very close but not perfect. What it really needs is a stand. I don't care if the legs are made out of metal and has some crazy locking mechanism, there is no way in hell this figure can stand sturdy due to its design with the tiny feet and with the top heavy mass. Uh oh I can foresee problems for Robocop 2 Cain.
The figure can actually do all the poses from the Halcyon and sideshow diorama poses, only problem is you need some kind of support to help the figure stand. On its own it won't hold. It will stand on its own like the stock photos but if you want crazy dynamic poses that ain't gonna happen.
Joints on the legs also has problems because it's double ball joints and it has quite a huge gap in between so they tend to swivel a lot. I will be making some custom "braces" and insert into these gaps hopefully it can hold the legs from waving side to side.
Oh and be SUPER extra careful when trying to put the right leg. Oh man I can somewhat imagine some collectors crying and screaming in my mind from breaking the rubber surface on the leg if they force it too hard. I actually has small rips on two areas because I exerted too much force but they are tiny and don't stand out so I can live with it. But yeah be extra careful, this is a pretty serious thing to look out for. I would recommend a small tab of baby oil or just use and x-acto knife to trim a little bit of the socket area off.
Sculpt wise, this is a very beautiful Alien figure despite its inaccuracies, probably the best HT has to offer until the Riddley Scott's version comes out.
I will uploads the pics as soon as I can tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendations.
