Semi-Grail Haul

[VenomProject]

It may not cost a whole lot or anything like that but I've been looking for this guy forever in stores. Found him at Spencer's today while looking for some Spawnie and Movie Maniac figures. All of the pictures I've seen of this guy made him look very stiff and limited in articulation. I must say this is one of the most articulated 18" figures I've ever seen. My only gripe is that the area where you have to insert the legs into the torso, there's a space there where the pegs on the legs won't go all the way into the torso...I've tried everything but they just won't fit in there...Kudos to NECA for this 18" masterpiece.

The head sculpt and detail is a real selling point for me.

Nice man. I'm surprised it was hard to find, I've been seeing them all over the place. 'Aliens' is my favorite movie of all time, so I prefer the non-translucent head, but I might pick one up if they get marked down.

Wow, really? Any Alien figures are hard to find up here. Even the AVP:R ones. You definitely need to pick it up, the head isn't as clear and transparent as it looks in the pictures, I had a very bright flash on, it was pitch black in the room.

Nice score! I saw at Spencer's also this past weekend.

Nice get.

Did you try heating the peg with a hair dryer to make it pop in?

Yup, 'cept I had to heat up the inside of the leg instead of the peg, no matter how hot the peg got it wouldn't fit.
