Was channel-flipping just watched the last bit of "Alien"....still great.
Will this figure ever see the light of day? Ever?

Or are we doomed to endure HT's new obsession...every single trooper and it's possible variation from TFA? They must be running out of IM's to do....


....and still no Ripley. Dammit.

If i was to hazard an accurate guess i'd say we won't be seeing anything from the aliens license until next year which will be the official 30th anniversary of aliens. They did the same with the back to the future figure.

Received my Chewbacca a few weeks back. Next on my list is Returns Batman. After that I was hoping for Ripley but if not "I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel. "

In between each trilogy movie will be an anthology movie, so every year for at least the next six years.

Well look, not all hope is lost. Alien takes place in space. Star Wars takes place in space. Both have aliens in them. Both are getting nostalgic sequels to films from 30 years ago. . .is a cross-over outside the realm of possibility? And if so--Hot Toys figures, here we come!

Disney has said they want to release one movie a year from the Star Wars universe (whether an Episode in the main saga or a one-off), Marvel will be moving to three movies a year soon and now DC is really cranking up their movieverse to a couple films a year. With that kind of volume, I just can't see how a "legacy" character like Ripley (either version) will be able to find much daylight in between all the figures for those new movies. Especially when HT will also be pumping out figures from the classic Star Wars films, too.

Even if they only released three our four figures per movie each year from those big licenses. That eats up at least 21 - 28 slots a year. (And considering how many figures they're pumping out for Avengers 2, and all the figures they've already shown for TFA, 3 - 4 figures would likely be on the low side.)

Don't get me wrong, I REALLY, REALLY want this figure. The two Ripleys are my most anticipated figures of the last couple of years. But the numbers don't fill me with a lot of confidence. There are only so many weeks in a year. Especially since she's just not going to sell like Star Wars or Marvel or DC will. I desperately want this figure, but I fear she might get muscled out. Keeping my fingers firmly crossed!

Might they consider combining the two figures in a single release and doing an Alien/Aliens Ripley two-pack?

At the moment the Aliens sequel looks about as definite as the release of this figure...maybe less so.

I'm already there, this figure was never real. It's all a dream

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

i'd say the demand for the figure would be quite large, I mean just look at this thread its always near the top of the aliens and Robots forum and we haven't heard a peep from hot toys about the figure in almost 2 years.

Unfortunately that probably amounts to sweet-****-all for Hot Toys when compared to Iron Man and Star Wars

If Marvel and SW are candy to Howard, this may as well be broccoli.

It just blows me away, that they'd preview this & other iconic properties.. then give us the proverbial middle finger as an entree.

Great customer loyalty program.

MMMM...proverbial middle finger entree. Seems like Hot Toy's serves that entree a lot. I'm starting to not like the taste.

I need this figure! Why hot toys don't give us more news??

Howard's too busy making oodles and oodles of cash with Marvel and SW.

I am leaning towards getting the Sandtrooper BUT if this is revealed anytime before then I would get Ripley!! I like human likenesses!!
