You seem to have accidentally included a Star Wars figure in the last picture.

I guess that if Luke is at the center, he was included on purpose, Baron.

They are cool ain't they?

I put Luke in that one to give a scale guide, plus it sort of shows how far things have come detail wise since the late 70's.

Stricktly speaking these are sold as snap-fit model kits by Hot-Toys, & are way to fragile to play with..the really cool thing is they come in 1/6th scale models of the Alien eggs, sort of like a adult Kinder egg.. but sadly no chocolate :-(, lots of different Alien warriors to collect, but I just wanted the Marines.

Looking @ Drake, that must of been the insperation for "Steadi-Cam gunner: Repeater" from the Joe line surely?

considering the smartgun was made from a steadicam rig and a German MG-42, quite probably.
