Good base figure for Darkhorse-style ALIEN figure proj.

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hi everyone,

I've been creating a line of six Predator figures (resculpted JAKKS figures + NECA/McF parts) that I'll be posting in the next month -- but I realized I didn't have a single ALIEN. heh

I want to use parts of NECA ALIENs, along with magnets to make swapable heads - but my major stumbling block is a well articulated body (or bodies) that is (are) thin (allowing for sculpting), and have a good range of motion. I'd prefer joints that are almost loose, as ALIENS are really kinetic monsters, and if handled, should pose fluidly.



I've really hated the decision by NECA/McF to do cut-joints on the hips, and to always follow the movie-style, single knee look. The comics always had a better look. AvP/r figures came close, both both still were a bit goofy in their articulation.

I'm looking primarily for a torso/pelvis/legs/clawed hands like those highlighted in the pics. Doesn't need to be exact - just something I can work from.

Any suggestions are appreciated. ^_^

Thanks,
