REVIEW: Aliens Colonial Marines Xenomorph SOLDIER

Paint is another area where Hiya has done a good job.  Although the Aliens do not have much in regards to color the paint on the samples that I have show excellent detail on all the small areas.  There is little to no bleed over on any of the joints.  The egg is where you really get to appreciate the work they did.  Unlike the Lurker, this one is open and paint was applied well on it to give a movie-esque feel.  The face hugger does not have much paint but a little bit of a wash to show off the detail more.

Accessories are what make the Aliens line unique in my opinion.  With the two that I have looked at so far they both have similar accessories except for the eggs.  This is something that adds a little more value to the line I feel as they could have easily just put the same egg in the entire line yet switched it up a bit.  The added hands are nice to switch for whatever set up you may have and the fact that there is a face hugger in 1:18 scale is something that I can appreciate.  There is also a stand that is similar to a metal grate seen in most of the movies.

About Anthony Spatucci

I was brought into collecting when the GI Joe 25th anniversary came out. After dealing with repaints and sub par vehicles I started searching around for something a little better. A friend turned me onto the fighting 118th and I started moving towards a more realistic "verse" for my figures. After seeing a few dioramas from members on the site I got the bug for them. There is a certain quality of person that contributes to the site and that is what has kept me coming back. Everyone is honest about what your work can have better and really helps you to get the best out of yourself. I am MAJOR BLOOD on the site.
