Aliens experts what exact looks from what scenes can I recreate with the Hicks and Hudson that we have right now in combination with McFarlane Hicks parts? When does Hicks not have the shotgun holster and shoulder lamp etc etc
The main limiting factor seems to be the lack of helmet or headset. What can't I recreate fully without those.
I'm just looking for scenes that I can do accurately with what we have so far, knowing that the helmeted version is coming later.

Trying to answer my own question with the film on here. Definitely seems, given what they provided as accessories, that this pair of Hicks and Hudson are based on the Game Over Man scene primarily. There's not much else worthwhile that you can do with them if you're going for accuracy to the movie scenes. Certainly no actual battle scenes. And if I want a Hicks and Hudson for each of the battles, Sub-level 3 and 'They Cut the Power' I'm gonna need to buy 2 of each of the future 2-packs but even then Hicks would need a helmetless head wearing the headset.
'Game Over Man' scene:
Hicks has shotgun holster slung from his right shoulder down under his left arm and is still wearing the shoulder lamp.
Hudson has no shoulder lamp and is wearing the motion tracker slung over his right shoulder and down under his left arm.
'Why Don't You Put Her in Charge?' scene:
Hicks has removed shotgun holster and shoulder lamp
Hudson would be the barebones figure but should have dryer, fluffier hair in this scene.

You can do the final battle. Only Hudson wears the helmet during the final battle. Hicks is helmetless.

Oh and yeah. I love these guys. So much. Dream come true.
Yeah I'm gonna have to root out my spare McFarlane Hicks Collectors club version and rip his helmet off. I thought I might be able to get the headset too but even if I'm willing to butcher my only standard McFarlane Hicks one side of the headset is sculpted into the head so there doesn't see much point in going that far.

After looking at someone who posed the Alien warrior in a crawl stance, I have to get this.
Hopefully I'll find it at a TRU soon. I wonder if they're gonna release an 18 inch scale one.

Yeah, it can be done, just stole the pose myself.
As soon as I wrap my my 1/6th 'self' I plan to try and carve a headset into Hicks. I am hoping much of the racal headset can be carved directly into his hair, but the actual ear piece will require some creativity. If I succeed, ill post pics! If I fail...well then I will find a new head and make a custom guy. No biggy.

Here are some pics I posted over at The Fwoosh..
Did a couple of head and arm swaps... Have a Sly marine, Arnie marine, Rock marine and some other wrestling dude... Will probably paint up the armor at some point to further differentiate them and, yes, the armor is removable!

That is an AWESOME setup. WOW. Scratch built environment?
And how easy is it to swap limbs? I'm assuming you need to crack the torso?

Thanks man, the dio was pieced together from various parts of toys, dioramas, cardboard, etc.... As for the limb replacement, swapping arms between the two marines only requires removing them below the shoulder, so no torso cracking. For the Sly marine, the torso is from a Dutch figure and I just used the ball joints that were already there with a little hot glue for a tighter fit. The marine torsos are all ball jointed together much like Dutch.
Ohhhhhh, man... kind of makes me want to just wait for those.
