I really want an Alien to go with my Scar Predator, all of a sudden now, and I would like a little review on the Grid and Battle Alien, if it's not to much trouble. I especially want to hear about the points of articulation( I know McFarlane has them listed, but I want to hear about them from a person who has the fig"s point of view). any help is appreciated. thanks

i have both loose and i think the only really noticeable difference is the head sculpt, grid alien having the grid outline on his head from where he got cut by the predator capture net. the main point of articulation, or lack therefof, which kind of bugs me is the knee joint, because unlike mcfarlane's earlier "warrior alien", there are no knee joints. on the flip side, the feet are much better than warrior alien because the avp aliens have two flat feet, wheras warrior has one flat foot and is on his tiptoes with the other, which makes it difficult to pose sometimes.
good figures though.

I have the Scar Pred and the Battle Alien. Battle and Grid are the same just different heads. The preds are the same with different heads too. The Battle Alien is great I know they re-used parts from the MM6 Ressurection Alien but I have them standing next to each other and they look nice. The have decent articulation for a McF figure. The only bad part about the Alien is the legs no knee joint and it can be hard to get the Alien to stand the feet have to be just right for it to stand and not fall over. But you can always use the tail to keep it up-right.
If I were you I'd get the Battle Alien I have it and Scar and they look great togather. The open mouth really makes this figure.
