Great! - I love that! Cheers, Stefan PS: The part that is glued to the head is the same Plastruct part that is also used on the welder and other things. |

I woke up at a little past 1AM last night to text my Mom to find me another blanket... When I saw Willie's message I got really excited because any time Willie messages me anything, it's Aliens related and gonna be great. This was the most random discovery and had me laughing out loud last night. This movie still surprises the hell out of me, and I'm dying for a 4K release to catch even more. Thanks for the good laugh last night, Willie and credit to your friend. A heck of a find... That little guy is cute too!

Def cool. I'd hate to go off topic, but that screen shot shows that Ripley has a fairly interesting lighter. Has that been identified? (lighter discussion split from this topic. See viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19130&p=269087#p269087 for lighter) |

Hard to tell from the screen pic, but have the little guy's black "feet" and red arm parts been removed? |
