The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

My friends Heather and Kendra. I tried finding some Marines to pose with them, but had to settle for Abe and a couple Marines new to Legacy.

Easily the best Ripley I've ever seen (she's 6'0"+) and the only Newt I've ever seen! Probably my favorite costume of 2012. And to top it off, she would hold Newt like that the whole time people were taking pics! A real trooper. I'm trying to talk them into doing it again next year.

Enjoy!

Alright, that is ten kinds of awesome. She even has the damn shoes! I'm helping my wife with a Ripley costume for Halloween, and this just became the template for doing it right.

Very awesome! Great pics. The pants the marines are wearing is a good cheap substitute for the uscm camo. I picked up a pair of them for $14.00 at Walmart. They had t shirts that macthed the pants but no actual Bruce top. The pants were military style cargoes not bad for $14 bucks. Besides thx for sharing those kick ass pics

I didn't see that Ripley or Newt... But I did bump into those other two Marines twice. The first one when I was in a bit of a hurry, but on the second time, we ended up talking for about 20 minutes, and did a great photo shoot for on-lookers. I gave them my hobby-card and I think I've got them recruited.

Yeah, I had a good conversation with them too. Didn't need to twist their arms too much to get on the ready line.

When Heather posted that she was planning to do Ripley I told her to find the table, and all of you guys.

Man, no clue. I just remember walking by when they were posing with the alien and being VERY impressed.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone pull this off before

I'm pretty sure Heather said they were planning to do it Saturday night, maybe?

I still can't get over how the woman portraying Ripley is holding the other on her hip. She looks pretty light? but man that must have hurt after awhile.
