Good finding! I wonder sometimes why they both have (basically) the same shoes. My theory is that they made both the high and mid design versions and let someone (Sigourney? Cameron?) pick which one Ripley should have, and then somebody thought of giving Bishop the other one (maybe Lance's...
Oh man, the SHOES! Sign me up for more than one pair of those please. I have no doubt the face is going to look great too, very much looking forward to seeing the update. How do you manufacture these heads?
The Alien Stompers they reproduced later did have the logo but I'm really not sure...
And now for my own latest Bishop post, slightly overdue...
1/6 Kitbash Bishop (Aliens) - quite old (10+ years) but now acquired and re-customized by me. Really happy to have him.
I found this little dude recently on Ebay, and as soon as I unboxed him I couldn’t resist doing a light repaint...
Looking very neat. I have some thoughts on the Bishop head if you're interested in some input - I spent about three months studying his face to build a 3d version of him (game model type, not a printable figure) so just let me know. (It's my current icon now.) For now I will say his face looks a...
Oh man, if you ever want to know more about the Bishop head options that are out there, just say the word. Actually, I tried my hand at repainting one yesterday (a Frank Black Sideshow Bishop head) and although I'm not nearly confident enough yet to post the result, I think it worked okay. Will...
Hahah lucky, if you ever see one in a small size, send the link my way. For now I will have to be satisfied with all the other Bishop merch out there... there are several ID badges/tags/etc for him floating around Ebay and
Do you happen to know anything about the other 1/6 figures that exist...
Omg, another Bishop fan! I love him so much. I'm very glad to meet you.
I really want the sneakers, but I can't find them in my size (women's 8.5/male 7 American). I keep hunting on Ebay and hoping one will pop up, but there's nothing, they're all way too big. Where did you get yours?
And thank...
Hahaha I bet I'm not going to be able to overlook it either. I'm sort of a perfectionist about Bishops... I'm usually a 3d artist and spent months working on a game model type version of him. Apparently that wasn't enough Bishop in my life so here I am with the real life mini ones. I might have...
Oh yeah you're definitely making a good choice on repainting it, I'm just trying to make myself feel slightly better about the default version being wrong, lol. Kudos to those of you with the skills to fix it.
He does have big eyes so that doesn't bother me quite as much as whatever is slightly wrong with his facial proportions. I can't place it exactly... but they did get close to the likeness, so whatever.
You going to do both heads or just the main one?
Hello everyone! I'm completely new to the world of 1/6 (though I'm a digital character artist) and I'm on a mission to collect 1/6 Bishops and research all available information about them. He's my all-time favorite character, and I have terrible completionist habits, so I'd like to limit myself...
