Some great stuff there, congrats on the display.

Does the 50s guy come with a full set of cards or just the two shown?

Chinese woman has an amazing print, also really like the steampunk woman.

They could have used a better torso for the detective. Where's it from, I have a couple of these but don't remember.

Just the two sets of cards. Yes, I'm disappointed in the detective. The pants are the worst.

We Come in Peace

And you go in pieces!  (sorry, couldn't resist - first thing that ALWAYS comes to mind whenever I see that - Dolph Lundgren = :love: )

Have some of those too, a shame only shorty is "normal" :(

Are the skinny ones the same as the "teen" bodies?

I believe they are the same as Alex and Gene...

And you go in pieces!

Exactly my thought! I was going to illustrate it with a photo too...

These Sykronians are quite weird, but they didn't catch on with the PM buying public, based on the fact that set 9411 was sold cheap in Home Bargains (a budget store), the only reason I bought the set!

Nice to see an army of them like that, JLM. I believe their attempt to invade Planet Earth was thwarted by an unfortunate miscalculation of scale when their entire battle fleet was swallowed by a small dog (thanks to Douglas Adams again for that one!).
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Not sure who the dog is  :-[

My sister likes these aliens a lot... We have some (expecting a few more), but not an army... It bothers me that they cannot be detwinned.

A real shame they are not normal klickys... They'd be awesome.

Great photos Jim!

One thing about the aliens though, you don't have to de-twin them because maybe they are really all twins from the same egg batch? Or clones? Anyway I am not as concerned with them looking all the same like with a human based grouping.
