So you guys think I'm making a mistake saving my points for this??

No, they'll make it eventually.

It's a brilliant plan actually. By the time this gets released along with everything else you ordered
I'll bet you could get 2 of them for free

I have over $200 in points, and a load more on the way, that I was saving for the Ripleys. I still hope these figures get made but I'm not certain when that would be so spend points now or wait? Guess it all depends on the price of the Falcon Cockpit. I may use my points on that and hope when this is available I will have built up my points again.

If you're going to keep buying other stuff anyway, what's the point. Use your points when it's strategic to do so, maybe when you have a bunch of things coming in the same month or you don't like the idea that you're spending $825 on a Hulkbuster.

You guys think this is still coming?

All the OT and TFA Star Wars stuff being unloaded now, backing up all that left-over Ultron stuff yet to come... plus Disney's cranking out a Star Wars movie every year, right? So little down time.

I think this nearly 40 year old franchise is about finished. Prometheus 2 is already having problems. If this gets tossed to us at all, it will be over-priced and without any tweaks or fixing. Like Batman Returns.

If HT can't be bothered to fix Old Ben, what chance does Ripley have?

Well then I guess it's a good thing that the protos looked awesome and not like drag queen Bruce Wayne.

Dude, it has the Star Wars name attached to it so changing the sculpt would've been pointless cause people will buy it anyway.

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

I just remembered that this figure will have rooted hair and that makes me not sure if i want this anymore. After having black widow and experimenting a lot with the hair and never really getting results that i wanted i have concluded that: I HATE ****ING ROOTED HAIR!!! HT+rooted hair=BAD

 

[cmiller99]

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

Rooted hair doesn't bother me any more with this one. I just want this figure to exist beyond three show prototypes.

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

The rooted hair is probably going to actually look good, given that Sigourney's hair was kinda wavy & not the Barbie 'dangly' type of doo.

It's those rotten rubber arms that I'm pissed off about.

That too

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

Just bring her, open the pre-order, and let me close my eyes and go back to 1979, to a movie house that has long since been torn down, so I can pee in my pants in fright again. That's all I ask. Is that too much to ask?

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

Nah the 1st one was never really that scary to me at a young age, now the 2nd one that was. The part where they got the marines and the part where the facehuggers tried to get newt and ripley. The part with the queen and bishop near the end was always disturbing too.

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

If the rooted hair ends up looking anything like AoU Widow's then HT may as well not even bother.

Totally different hair styles there. Sometimes the rooted hair looks great and other times you have to style your dollies' hair. I would hope they'd get Ripley's correct cause curly hair is really hard to fix.
