I'll dig out my Denizen Marines out later for some comparison shots. They are superb figures and very realistically-proprtioned, rather than 'heroic'.

they are indeed nice figures. No idea where mine went to - havent seen them for decades

Thanks - I was struggling a bit with that one, having known it for all my working life.

For shame!

And the best Vietnam movie ever made..

Aliens, seen it once, not a patch on the original.

Completely different movie and can’t be compared. Ones a horror, the other is a sci fi

i agree with Jeremy they are different things. I'm not sure whats come over me.

I prefer Alien but then i tend not to like action movies. Having said that Aliens is a superb action movie.

Yep, wot he said... Alien is horror suspense, Aliens is a (fairly) straight war movie, Alien 3 is an abomination, and Alien Resurrection a bit of a pastiche with some amusing bits. The Alien vs Predator spin-offs are just hilarious splatter fests, and the Alien Covenant and so on are pretty lame, not being quite sure what they intend to be.

Oh, and the Director's Cut of Alien and Aliens are better than the theatrical releases.
