"I got multiple signals, closing!"
"They're coming out of the goddamned walls!"
I should add that these guys were painted many, many years ago, and hence don't demonstrate my current painting level. I still love them! These are the best alien sculpts ever made, and really reflect the feel of the Aliens movie.
Some favourites...
These were sculpted by Leading Edge Games - an 80s gaming and miniatures outfit who picked up lots of movie licences and produced some reasonable RPGs as well. These were the days when "boxed set" meant something more than a cardboard sleeve - the alien figures came in plastic cases with a full foam inlay!
I have a couple of sets - the attacking aliens set, and also the "Colonists' Last Stand". In that box, I also found a couple of other figures I must've had some plan to use in an aliens game...
The astronaut definitely didn't come with the set, and neither did the svelte-looking predator...
I think that these are Denizen miniatures, but don't know for sure. they fit nicely scale-wise anyway.
I also had a sizeable Colonial Marine collection, again collected over the years, and perhaps I'll dig that out for oldtimes sake as well!
