I´m looking for classic grey, bobblehead aliens. Preferably with a lot of different poses and weapons, and i´d like them with as little armour and spacesuits as possible. It is not bad if they are more on the "ha ha, this looks funny and cute"-side than the "wow, this figure is really looking mean"-side.
A classic flying sauser (saucer?) wouldn´t hurt either.
Oh, and i´m talking 28 mm.
Thanks!

Brigade games have a nice selection and Tengu have a small number too also Black Cat bases

Tengu Models:

Scroll down to see the aliens.
Copplestone:

(FW36 Grey Aliens)
Not a great selection of weapons though...
-
The tengu ones look great! Too bad they are all unarmed... But maybe that could be fixed. Thanks!
Any more sugestions?
-
Brigades are out of print.
I settled for the ZombieSmith ones, but they are space suited critters:

Reaper

Reaper have some in their Chronoscope line.
Harbinger had the tall ones but they're oop. Can be found on Ebay though.
Saucers:
Pegasus do an Area 51 saucer that's great and some Alpha Centauri attack saucers that have greys in them, also great models.
There is also the saucer in the pic below, which was the first sci fi plastic kit ever and is still in production, check Ebay. Mine came from Glencoe models but they no longer have the molds.
There's also a reissued Aurora Invaders UFO available.

Wow, lots of good links there! I like the reaper ones too. Thanks a lot!

Artemis Black still has the black scorpioon aliens, more hard scifi than greys but an alterantive possibly

Ground Zero Games used to sell Gomi Designs' grey aliens - maybe a little crude and small compared to the competition.
Fenryll does "the Roswell family" - a 1950s American nuclear family that just happens to be composed of grey aliens. http://www.fenryll.com/category.php?id_category=25 (http://www.fenryll.com/category.php?id_category=25)
Edit: I forgot: Fortress Figures used to do some nekkid Greys in both metal and (indistinguishable when painted) plastic. I can't seem to get their store to load, though.
Also, if you have any trouble finding the Invaders saucer, I have an unassembled spare I wouldn't mind parting with. Please PM me if you're interested. This is what it's like: http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/misc/scifi/ufopreview.htm (http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/misc/scifi/ufopreview.htm)

Thanks. The saucer sounds interesting, I´ll PM you if/when I need it.
-
Eurika miniatures do some grey aliens too. Have some naked and one in robes with a staff as if some sort of official or leader.
-
Thanks for all good sugestions, they all have their pros and cons. I like the tengu ones the most, I think. If someone owns them I would really like a puc with a sixe comparison to Hasslefree or LAM brugelberg.
If I go for tengu: is there any company selling ray gun like weapons in different sizes: pistols, rifles, big on tripods? Loose guns that is, to equip the little greys with. On the other hand it is maybe not that hard to make those kinds of guns myself.

If you are looking for some on the cheap check out the Horror clix ones, they are nice for the bendy plastic type.

Hope this helps, hasslefree do plenty of weapons that'll work with these guys.

That helps a lot, thanks. And I´ll take a look at the clix greys as well.
