Only spotted this thread just now!

Random musings...

Has anyone lit their Preds (or other figs) in a semi-permanent display? If so, how?

My first Pred was Water Emergence even though he's far from my favourite (not that I know who that is, maybe Big Red). Closely followed by Thermal Dutch. I stopped, then Renegade caused a chain reaction and I own nearly all of them now bar ones I'm not keen on, like AvP:R and 'Deliverance Dutch'. I need to come up with more comedy names for 'em all lol.

Backgrounds - I too had the idea of using desktop wallpapers. I've also built up a few materials to make my own sets when I have time.

eBay - both a blessing and a curse. Crappy Chinese/Russian KOs and some of the usual NECA QC problems... but then Forbidden Planet prices/website are laughable.

Stands - I use these I have so many Preds now, they allow for more space management and poses I find:

A build your own line would see me having some sort of breakdown.

Here in the UK that Kenner 2 pack is more often than not a disgrace; crap paint job on the Xeno, broken mandibles/plasma on the Pred, stuff missing...

I didn't even know there was a Night Recon fig! The Xenos from the original line look great on seeing them for the first time too. I hope NECA get around to NR and same for the Xenos.
