These figures are great (although I think the "screaming Hicks" in the 2pack is a little off)...

But NECA really missed the mark to me by not having a "screaming Dutch mud-camo" headsculpt. Even as just an alternate head.

I really wanted to recreate the shot where Dutch is screaming at the night sky after lighting the torch, for his call to battle.

Got in the car this morning to go to work. Tap tap the post office delivery man knocked on my car window with a package. It was the Hicks and Xenophor two pack ! Very nice. Can't wait for Hudson 2 pack . I ordered it online from toysrus.com

Illinois. I got my Hicks two pack from a buddies store in the chicago suburbs. If anyone wants, i'd gladly pick up any if they can't wait for the mail.

Not mine. Just went and checked, one lone single carded warrior and a few of those Genocide packs.

Some good info on how to remove the helmet from the two pack. http://kastorskorner.com/wp/2013/12/06/ ... es-helmet/

Nifty. I had been going at this the wrong way it seems (i tried freezing and prying). I was not aware of the peg.

And success! A quick 30 second soak in HOT water and the thing darn near peels right off.


Fun facts when you get it off, the screaming Hicks head has pre-molded hair to accept a Racal Head set. Makes you wonder if Neca abandoned the plan to make final Med-lab battle Hicks at the last minute...or if the devious b@$tards are planning a 3rd release with the Racal. In any case, a little paint and resculpting, you can make your own.




But now I finally have the fully loaded up "Colony Sweep" Hicks that I wanted from the beginning!


And figured I'd do "Its readin' Right, man. Look" Hudson while I was at it.

Thanks for the after-surgery shot of Hicks head, I was about to ask you about that.

But I have to say, it still looks like the helmet rides a bit high still on Hicks.

Thanks for the pics. Guess I gotta pick up a couple to get the helmets. Neca is going to put me in the poor house. And yes I'd probably pick up a racial version as well if they made it, sigh...

Picked one up today and got the helmet off. I think I'm going to get a dremel to sand down the inside so it fits right unless any one has any tips for removing the peg inside the helmet.

I think a dremel is the way to go, just be careful and work slowly so you don't cut through the helmet.

It should go without saying, but even if you are just working with soft plastic, make sure you wear safety glasses!
It has a habit of forming little springy pieces of melty swarf that appear to have some sort of onboard guidance system, programmed to target your right eyeball with pinpoint accuracy!
