Family Guy - The Bird is the Word

I know this has nothing to do with sculpting, painting or collectibles but I had to post this.

We watched this episode of Family Guy last night, and I can't get this damn song out of my head. So if I'm going to be stuck with this? Then so are you!

(the episode basically revolves around an old 50's record that Peter decides is his favourite thing ever. It's repetative, annoying, catchy and hysterically funny all at once)

You *have* to see this episode

1/6 Hot Toys Ripley head resculpted and finally painted!

I've been working on this for what seems forever. A short while back I showed a resculpted Ripley head that I'd been working on. Well it's finally all painted up! (this particular one is for a lucky customer. I'll have to wait to do one for myself! Bah.)

Here's a few quick snaps I just took. Ignore the lighting and stuff, they're just to show what it looks like painted. Sometimes it's hard to look at an unpainted sculpt and picture it painted up.

If anyone's interested in picking one of these up from me (unpainted) then shoot me an email and I'll add your name to the Ripley list.

Ignore the clothes, body etc. I haven't done any of that yet. (will be extending the legs to make her taller, weathering her clothes etc)

Ok, here's the pics... (as usual click for larger...)











and here's one to show what the original head looked like.
