1/6 1/6 Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien - Collectible Figure

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Ripley: Howard, can you hear me? Howard?
Howard Chan: [speaking in an electronic, distorted voice] Yes, I can hear you.
Ripley: What was your special order?
Howard Chan: You read it. I thought it was clear.
Ripley: What was it?
Howard Chan: Make Iron Man. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.
Parker: The damn company. What about our Ripley figure, you son of a *****?
Howard Chan: I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded.
Ripley: How do we stop it Howard? There's gotta be a way of stopping it. How? How do we do it?
Howard Chan: You can't.
Parker: That's ********.
Howard Chan: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect cash cow. Its structural perfection is matched only by its reusability.
Lambert: You admire it.
Howard Chan: I admire its purity. A Marvel property... unclouded by Prometheus, X-Men First Class, or the Alien movies.
Parker: Look, I am... I've heard enough of this, and I'm asking you to pull the plug.
Howard Chan: [Ripley goes to disconnect Ash, who interrupts] Last word.
Ripley: What?
Howard Chan: I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Ripley needs to be released. If it's Weaver's anti-gun stance that's causing a problem, then release the figure sans weapons and then provide a separate "generic space hero" weapons pack with the flame thrower (and pulse rifle, darn it...)

It's not just the Iron Man figures. Have you guys been in the Marvel section lately? It's basically the same 3 or 4 adolescents posting just emoticons and one word replies. Just check out the last couple of pages of the "Antman" thread...

Perfect. I'm trying to think of other full scenes that could be applied but I don't think there's anything else.....

''It is the finding of this court of inquiry that Hot Toys CEO H. Chan has acted with...questionable judgement, and is unfit to hold the Alien license as a commercial collectible producer. Said license is hereby suspended indefinitely. Now no criminal charges will be filed against you at this time and you are released on your own recognisance for a sixth month period of Iron Man detox, to include monthly review by an ICC psychiatric technician''

This thread has finally proved useful!

Some genuine laughs.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

[Chan greets Ripley at the San Diego Comic Con after she has been rescued from Iron Man Overload Syndrome]

Chan: I'm Chan. Howard Chan. I work for the company. But don't let that fool you, I'm really an okay guy. I'm glad to see you're feeling a little better. They, uh, they tell me that all the weakness and disorientation should pass soon. It's just natural side effects of such an unusually long overexposure to Iron Man figures, or something like that.

Ripley: What do you mean? How big was the exposure?

Chan: [stunned] Has no one discussed this with you yet?

Ripley: No. But, I mean, I don't... recognize this place.

Chan: [visibly uncomfortable] No, I know. Uh, okay, it's just that, uh, this might be a shock to you. It's big...

Ripley: *How* big? Please.

Chan: [after a pause] Fifty-seven figures.

Ripley: [stunned disbelief] What?

Chan: That's the thing. Its fifty-seven figures. What happened was, you had drifted right through the pre-ordering dates, and it's really just blind luck that a Sideshow discount code found you when it did. It's one in a thousand, really. I think you're damn lucky to be a collector, kiddo. You could be overpaying out there forever.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Ripley: How long after its declared overdue can we expect the ripley figure?

Chan: [pause] Seven months.

Hudson: Seven months? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but that preorder is not gonna last seven weeks. Those iron man figures are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here...

Ripley: Hudson!

Hudson: ...and they're gonna come in here AND THEY'RE GONNA GET US!

Ripley: Hudson! This little batmobile preorder survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.

Ripley: Right?

Hudson: Why don't you put it in charge?

Ripley: You better just start dealing with it, Hudson! Listen to me! Hudson, just deal with it, because HT needs you and we're sick of your ********

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

57 figures!! Lmao

That was a good one . It really has gotten out of hand! I'll even say personally Ironman is my favorite marvel superhero ever! Just as bat man is on the DC end.

I've only owned the avengers mark 7 to represent him. I recently sold it and don't miss it because even as a fan I'm tired of looking at all the figures. Funny but Sad..
I hope HT gets the hint.

Thanks for the laughs though guys.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Chan: Look, those Iron Man figures are worth millions to our bottom line. Now, if you're smart, we can both come out of it as heroes and we'll be set up for life.

Ripley: You're crazy Chan, you know that? You really think that you can push another round of redundant Iron Man figures past your fan base waiting for more from the Aliens line?

Chan: How can they complain about releases if we withhold updates and they don't know about it?

Ripley: Oh they *will* know about it, Chan. From me. Just like they'll know that you were responsible for the deaths of 3 other licenses.

Chan: Wait a second...

Ripley: You delayed release until the films were no longer relevant!

Chan: You're wrong.

Ripley: I just checked the colony log. Dated 0-6-1-2-7-9, signed Chan, Howard J. You sent the prototypes out there and you didn't even warn them. Why didn't you warn them, Chan?

Chan: Okay, look. What if that demand didn't even exist, huh? Did you ever think about that? I didn't know! So now, if I went in and made a major release out of it, everybody steps in. Movie studios step in, and there are no exclusive rights for anybody; nobody wins. So I made a decision and it was... wrong. It was a bad call, Ripley, it was a bad call.

Ripley: Bad call?

Ripley: These figures are *dead *, Chan! Don't you have any idea what you have done here? Well, I'm gonna make sure they nail you right to the wall for this! You're not gonna sleaze your way out of this Ripley figure. Right to the wall!

Chan: Ripley...! You know, I... I expected more from you. I thought you'd be smarter than this.

Ripley: I'm happy to disappoint you.

Classic stuff lads. I was trying to come up with a way to use that Burke VS Ripley argument myself. Couldn't think of how to apply it without excessive phrase-changing but



bigbisont nailed it.

At first, this thread brought excitement.

Then concern.

Then sadness.

Then resignation.



And now ... such joy.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Why? Why are the innocent punished? Why the sacrifice? Why the pain? There aren't any promises. Nothing certain*. Only that some get cancelled, some get made. She won't ever know the hardship and grief for those of us left behind. We commit these Hot Toys prototypes to the void.....with a glad heart. For within each Official Specs and Pics thread, there is a promise of a preorder, and within each Comic-con reveal, no matter how small, there's always a new hope**. A new beginning. Amen.

An Iron Man Mark VII repaint #24 is birthed

*except Iron Man
**later to be crushed but still...

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Your all gonna buy.
The only question is when. This is as good a thread as any to take your first steps to own this piece of heaven. Only question is how will you check out?..

Do you wanna pre-order on your feet...
Or on your ****ing knees?..
Begging!
I ain't much for begging... HT ain't never gave me nothin.. So I say **** that thing! (Mark 45)
Let's fight it! ...
