I will shoot a Part "2" which will be a way better version of this video. I'll go over in detail the Packaging, articulation and a more back and forth comparison on the two figures...so sub and stay tuned. thanks./

[@TheTroglockan]

Thank you. I'm waiting for this "Part 2".

[@RichardFriendartist]

@@TheTroglockan ah ok. I will try and film it today.

[@Wishfigurecollector]

​@@RichardFriendartist So, no second video? I want to buy this figure but for other videos I saw, this figure tears apart Just for looking at it. A lot of qc issues.. :(

[@mikefm4]

A truly amazing figure Funny you had the Koto next to it. That’s the only big chap at this scale I consider more accurately sculpted. Enjoy them brother

[@sto1vall]

Awesome bro...the first two are the best. Imo. The second one was the first one i could actually watch with out covering my eyes....lol. I don't like the green tho. Aliens Re black and grey...lol. Nice addition.

[@RichardFriendartist]

right I could see that. I am not opposed to repainting these honestly. Right now I am just grabbing the ones that catch my eye. Thanks for the feedback!

[@sto1vall]

@@RichardFriendartist naw..i wouldn't repaint them unless i was just bored and had my airbrush equipment already...lol.

[@RichardFriendartist]

@@sto1vall uhm....do you have a web cam spying on me? hahah ;) I am going to start painting at night for fun and to wind down from the day. I have no real hobbies right now...so painting (which obviously also helps my art) is a fun thing to get into. I am checking out a few different recast resin kits I might warm up on...just to knock a few turds out first. :)

[@sto1vall]

@@RichardFriendartist haha...awesome

[@dannycruz5446]

Yo Rich. There's a takayuki takeya designed big chap figure that came out earlier this year. And Neca is re releasing their big chap figures in both 1/12 and 1/4 scales later in the year. Great time to be a fan if you're into the '79 design specifically with it being the 40th anniversary and all.

[@RichardFriendartist]

Just ordered one. I'd seen them but having you mention it. I went back and peeped it...looked cool.. bought it, and now it's on it's way! :)

[@GlennGerard]

"the detail on this bad boy is amazing" 😂

[@PsychosisPC05]

You may also want to checkout the Warhammer 40k Tyranids which are pretty much a rip off of Giger's aliens imo. Still cool figures and cool art.

[@RichardFriendartist]

hahaha. awesome I will check them out....what paint do you use to painting your figures?

[@PsychosisPC05]

Vallejo Model Color, Reaper Master Series, and Golden Fluid Acrylics. You want something that flows really good, without a lot of body. Most acrylics that you can run through an airbrush will also work. I'll use cheap acrylic artist brushes to lay down the base colors on 28-35 mm scale minis, using a 2 or 3, then a 1 or 0. For high detail and freehand design detail work on the miniatures, I'll actually switch up to a Raphael 8404 round Kolinsky Sable, like what I would ink with. For a little bit of detail though, pretty much any Sable will work. I'll even use Microns over the paint. Although acrylics just destroy brushes over time. Then just shoot some clear over it to protect the more fragile brushed on acrylics, for most of my wargames minis just Krylon Acrylic Matte, for commission pieces - Testor's Dull-Cote.

Sweet!

[@RichardFriendartist]

Sweet I would check that out. I don't have time to actually play...but I love reading the books and info and also seeing the art involved in the projects! I'll look it up today while I am working.

[@RichardFriendartist]

why did you edit down your post so much?

[@edtenorio100]

Would you draw big chap using the figures as reference?

[@RichardFriendartist]

sure why not. Follow me on Instagram and you might see it pop up in the next few weeks./ instagram.com/richard_friend/

[@thephantomcomics]

I have been on a mission. Get models of things I a problem drawing. Cars planes trains thing that I want to do those odd angel that Never see much.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

You're wasting your money on these. Get A Neca ultimate alien warrior. The absolute best of the best. Neca has satisfied the market with the ultimate line.

[@RichardFriendartist]

ordered. hahaha :) I have the Neca 1/4 scale big chap. I'd not been collecting the warrior Alien yet key word YET! I am the green lantern. ;) hahaha

[@WhoRunBarterTown]

You mean literally the same figure NECA has produced for years? Great.

[@pythonman8103]

Ummmm no! Neca is 🗑

[@jap9539]
