They had a belly button and could be filled with water to squirt... For some reason I thought them evil and used them as bad guys<br />Now I find them cute!FJ Torreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705450896438313276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-42388966583513880662016-01-04T16:58:11.221+00:002016-01-04T16:58:11.221+00:00The silver alien with the drill held aloft on its ...The silver alien with the drill held aloft on its shoulder is also an LP pose. I suppose that the double gunslinger alien in the middle could be a version of the same gunslinger in the LP range too, just two guns instead of one?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-73077906062763527442016-01-04T16:27:58.203+00:002016-01-04T16:27:58.203+00:00The 3 Men from Outer Space are yours? ha ha, small...The 3 Men from Outer Space are yours? ha ha, small world...in a vast universe of little silver martians. I will have to look out for more of these fella's now and check their poses - that's a mind-worm if ever there was one! I'm sure I've seen the design somewhere else - the alien's windpipe seems to suggest it was once an air pipe that is now fused to it! Exposed trachea are quite unsettling!WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-57615818991160853792016-01-04T15:44:31.112+00:002016-01-04T15:44:31.112+00:00Interestingly...I would appear to be the owner of ...Interestingly...I would appear to be the owner of the set Andy B has posted! I was going to suggest they only did the three poses (hence the suggestion Giant added poses) as I've only seen the three, but upon comparing the above to mine...they would seem to be the same one...so maybe there are other poses? Anyone seen more? I have some loose ones and they are all from the three poses.<br /><br />HHugh Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689023221814673819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-69810709407275927372016-01-04T15:36:53.952+00:002016-01-04T15:36:53.952+00:00The Giant Aliens probably came after the LP (full ...The Giant Aliens probably came after the LP (full size) as they have more poses, seemingly taking some elements from the spacemen, but apart from piracy I don't think there's a relationship between the two?<br /><br />You have to be careful buying these blow-moulds loose on eVilBay as their lenticular eyes are easily lost and sellers replace them with modern goggley-rattle eyes!<br /><br />Also the astronauts in your picture are 'based-on' LP, but there are differences to the air-pipe and weapon, suggesting homage rather than pantograph if you know what I mean!<br /><br />HHugh Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689023221814673819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-86248893476729849672016-01-02T11:07:45.048+00:002016-01-02T11:07:45.048+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854268654456911534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-57997213862801120622016-01-02T11:07:29.968+00:002016-01-02T11:07:29.968+00:00Plastic soldier review has a great feature on GIAN...Plastic soldier review has a great feature on GIANT<br />And shows all the space related figures and vehicles.tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854268654456911534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-56580617615089390642016-01-02T10:32:17.126+00:002016-01-02T10:32:17.126+00:00That's fascinating Andy, LP astronauts with pa...That's fascinating Andy, LP astronauts with parachutes! And why not! Pity they didn't include a small parachutist in the SpaceX range. There is a parachute on the SWORD Apollo Saturn but the astronaut is a drawing inside the capsule. Cheats!
