Please do more with space suits (helmets on and off).  These are a great addition to the genre and look much  more "Roswell" era than some recent entries.  Well done.
This is my boomstick!

Very impressive. I like these better than most of the Grays I've seen. But, shouldn't the spacesuit be metallic silver for that old time UFO feel?

They're nicely done, no doubt. But I have to say their faces look somehow off to me, they're too human and 'doll-like' to me. If you know what I mean? Also, they look just a tad too robust. I'd prefer something looking a bit more inhuman and even skinnier, these are like human-alien hybrid children or something.

Of course, it's all a matter of opinon. And no doubt I could have a use for these. Now that I think of it, I haven't really seen any Greys that I truly like. So maybe it's just me? lol

Should be available in a few weeks, the pack will be £8 and will be available to order via a website.

Yeah you're completely right. I did think of painting him in a silver suit using NMM technique...  but I wanted to get some colour into the photo.... (otherwise lots of grey because of how I based them.)

Yeah I have one at the casters which has the space helmet on... plus another which is wearing something a bit different..

cheers

These are perhaps the best Greys I have seen. I might have to revive my alien game I have planned.

I can't do anything but fully and completely echo/second/mirror this reply :D

Love 'em, and they're definitaly on my 'to get' list. Maybe that X-COM to tabletop port will finally come to pass...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Indeed, these are the best grey miniatures I've seen so far. Now, we need some decent men in black. Oh, and some Scully/Mulder FBI types, too.  ;)

Very nice, I think they are my favourite Greys I've seen for quite a while.

Will keep an eye out for them.
