The other day I showed I picked up a backup of the Colonial Marines pack and the mail one finally arrived today so I popped the better set open (I'll be returning the other later). These are pretty much Ultimate edition figures of Hudson and Hicks since they come with a barrage of accessories and alternate heads. I'm actually surprised because initially I figured I'd switch them to their helmet-free heads but I'm digging the angry heads a lot. The first versions featuring the angry heads didn't impress me but NECA changing the plastic and upgrading the paint really improves their likeness and conveys the expressions. I used to just have Ripley and Vasquez to fend off the aliens so it's great to expand the ranks. I know the figure wasn't intended as a tribute to Bill Paxton but Hudson fills that purpose wonderfully.
