Fantastic mods and displayWeathered her up this morning. I've decided I'm keeping the stock body. Since she's being displayed with the Xenomorph and no other Ripley or Marines the height issue is null for me.
Weathering to the shirt and pants. Taped down her breast with electrical tape. Added bruises and sweat effect. I actually really love this figure!

Fantastic mods and display
To be honest I wasn't prepare for this release (don't even have a display for Ripley and my big chap)And was planning on selling the figure but present toys didn't disappoint this time either .
Already ordered my phicen
Agree that the S17 seems best but I think its still taller than Nostromo Ripley. The Jiaou Doll 3.0 is the only similar body I could find but its even taller (10.75" , left in second photo). Would love to see Ripley on the S17 next to Nostromo Ripley. Mine is on the S19 but its too big.It's a sleeper hit.
I'm glad I got it.
Now those accurate non gloved hands are useless, way too soft to really grab the weapons
It's indeed a pop toys body but unlike another one I have the bend really shows at the elbows.
I can't wait to see how it looks with the Phicen S17B everyone recommends for it but the wrists yikes, I guess one can be hidden with a watch and the other is not that visible.
For now I just added some feet extenders and made the neck thicker.
acrylic hobby paint gloss clear.How do you achieve 1/6 scale sweat - what do folks use?
Yep. Somehow I got her to hold the pulse rifle. Barely.It's a sleeper hit.

Straight out of the box, it's a fairly lackluster figure. Body is not well proportioned with obvious seams, boots are entirely not posable, straps are distractingly out of scale, shirt is thick and oversized, however i do look forward to customizing and weathering this one!

where did you get all those eggs ?
Were those the ones sold on OSK a while back?where did you get all those eggs ?
Any body you use will need to be made taller.Agree that the S17 seems best but I think its still taller than Nostromo Ripley. The Jiaou Doll 3.0 is the only similar body I could find but its even taller (10.75" , left in second photo). Would love to see Ripley on the S17 next to Nostromo Ripley.

These bodies are all taller than 1979 Ripley so making 1986 Ripley even taller would make them more out of scale with each other.Any body you use will need to be made taller.
