I'm starting to lose faith in this... I was hoping when it was revealed at SDCC last year that we'd almost have it by now...

Why do HT always jerk me around with my favourite licenses?!

I did not know this figure existed, although I am rather new to this.

I love Ripley so much, its been forever since I have watched the film

There's only three pieces I'm interested in from Hot Toys....the '66 Batmobile, a Doc Brown and Ripley

Well, unfortunately it doesn't exist... at least not yet.

I think Ripley will be released soon, she won't be canned.

Inaccurate?

Sounds about right.

Proto wasn't too promising - sculpt, hair, skinny arms.

Would be a bummer if after this long delay she goes up for pre-order unchanged.

EDIT: jumping back to page one, sculpt wasn't too bad in retrospect. But the hair would probably be a matted mess on opening the box.

I liked the second version of the sculpt that was shown at a later show.

The open mouth one on the first page?

That one did have more life and 'Ripley' in it.

The clothes looked good.

When they showed all this over a year ago I was hopeful of them remaking the Colonial Marines. Now we've got to be hopeful they make Ripley herself!

Heesh... that pun made this thread hit rock bottom.

The elephant in the room is the tiny neck & big head y'all.

Hey! You who still complain about the prototype:
Old:

New:

...stop complaining already. Even if the figure was released like this it would be the best Ripley ever by far and in my opinion the hair looks - if not totally accurate - pretty great. And sooo prefer it from sculpted hair in this case.
People complained like crazy about Big Chap - yes it doesn't look exactly like Geigers costume, but it so captures what he was going for and a free standing figure is another thing than the costume in the movie hidden in shadows. It's a beautiful figure - one of my favorites.
People complain about Chewbacca - that is a massive undertaking and a mile stone in 1/6 scale. Even if his mouth looks a little bit like a coconut it could hardly have been done any better.
Some people just won't be happy before they shrink the actual actors.

Just shows how far this hobby has come in a relatively short amount of time. Really is amazing the attention to detail.
