Description

Here is a GI Joe custom of the really cool Alien from the movie "Battle LA". Scale is 3.75" or 1:18 roughly.  Sculpted using Green Stuff and pieced together from various figures and random bits from my parts box. The base is a 3.75" Terminator movie figure, with Star Wars General Grevious legs. 

I love techno-organic stuff such as this, and it was really fun to make.  The designers did a really good job making a unique Alien that was both menacing and visually dynamic.

A bit of an older custom, but I'm still happy with it considering it's pretty much entirely sculpted.

haha yeah!  You got it man.  I thought there were so cool, and a refreshing take.  I mean the movie wasn't the greatest/most memorable..but I definitely think they had some great idea's and a good design team behind this stuff.   And  yeah, that pool scene is awesome.

If it weren't for the desing team and the effects group..I'm afraid tha movie would have been totally forgettable...The writing wasnt half bad, and they had a decent cast, but the creature effects and the mood and feel of the movie saved it...



I had a few truly memorable scenes made memorable by some clever environmental work..smoke, bodies laying in the streets, the way you never got a good look at the aliens for a rather extended length of time. and the fact they intelligently used the aliens..... they didn't pop out and go BOO! the kept under cover, moved like they had some real intelligence and unlike many aliens who only seemed to hit a target when the writer decided it was time for some gore....they were lethal little metal sea monkeys...
