i just wrestled the mannequin out of the corner for these pictures.
first is the helmet. i neglected to get photos of the target screen that drops down and lights up (didnt notice until i sat down for this post) under the helmet is the screen accurate microphone - super rare. watch - also super rare (i got it for 50 bucks). eagle pin (got lucky with that too) the armor. i keep my legit gerber mark 2 fighting knife with my mad max costume that im never going to finish (because it's safe in a tote, and not where my toddler can pull it out of the sheath). i need to do better research for how the sheath is tied to the armor strap. the cod armor has the can opener on it just like the movie - and special ordered because these armors were just supposed to be blank aluminum. that's another thing about having my armor painted up like hudson, the cloth helmet cap wasnt included in the armor's original price, it came with my hudson paint job. not every uscm had that helmet cap. the boots are screen accurate jungle boots, down to the foot print. i hate the flight suit i have for it, but it beats a bare duct tape dummy mannequin i have under it.

Wow that is amazing. RIP. I got this many years back before I was into collecting figures. For the longest I only owned Dutch from Predator and Hudson from Aliens.

Educate me, do they have like an AlienCon, AlienFest, similar to JoeCon and ComicCon or something like that? Or would that fanbase coincide within a ComicCon?

Alien all the way. The Colonial Marines were too silly for me. Closer to Dreadnoks than marines. Where Alien was just so tense. Then again, I'm also the guy that loved Prometheus.

I second everything you said. Colonial Marines ruined what could have been a great movie. They were way too goofy, except for Hicks.
