The sad thing is thats the proto, which in neca's case usually are far superior to what u get

yeah i dont get how neca supposedly has her likeness rights yet the figure looks nothing like her. I would have never guessed they had any likeness rights looking at it.

It's a funny situation. If I didn't know better I'd have been saying NECA were being very clever - making it look 'just enough' like her but not all the way so as to avoid legal action on the likeness rights issue

They have her likeness rights? lol that's embarrassing

These posts helped put a smile on my face this week. I've been saying similar things all along, even tweeted Randy about it when I saw the first sculpt. He thought it looked fine.

And yet they nailed Hudson with both sculpts of him so I don't think it's necessarily a case of expecting too much for the scale and pricepoint. That said, I'm still buying all their Ripleys. Likeness isn't quite there but I'd have bought deliberately generic sculpts as long as everything else was right - rather than having nothing.

I'd rather have nothing.

Reminds me of Bishop's line in Alien 3. ''I could be reworked, but I'd never be top of the line again. I'd rather be nothing''

yeah better to have nothing then pay the money and have something that wont look good on the shelf. Yeah they did nail hudson, their best so far. I've got hudson, hicks and 1 brown alien.

Ripley's gonna be like Batman Returns. 5 years between announcement and in-hand.

I definitely want this figure, but I wouldn't mind having her from Galaxy Quest, too. In fact, I'd like to have the entire crew from that movie. One of my favorites, as well. Hilarious.

somehow i think tim allen would be difficult to get though. I would love to see it happen though.

Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek film ever made according to JJ Abrams. It would be hard to argue against that.

A xeno would be sweet with this. On its own, ehhhhh. And I'ma huge fan of the original film.

But I thought we'd have an updated Wolf Predator by now, too. (Gazes off into the middle distance)
