And 15 Black Widows...which apparently sell really well for some reason. One can only imagine how well they'd sell if Hot Toys eventually made one that looks like Scarlett Johansson.

Still waiting with high hopes for this figure. Sigouney Weaver is such a babe, and I love that movie series so much because of her and Giger.
Fingers crossed they re-release a Big Chap as well!?

I caught "Galaxy Quest" last night on the BBC. Wouldn't mind a "Gwen DeMarco" figure...
But seriously, both versions of Ripley would be a dream come true. I've got my Power Loader without the figure, as I refuse to display it with that awful figure.
And I definitely need an "Alien" Ripley version to display against the Big Chap. Come on, Hot Toys!

TBH, none of the Widows have a strong ScarJo likeness. I hope that changes for CW.

They are some of the most bland, characterless figures in Hot Toys' catalogue and the body is completely wrong for Johansson.

Wasn't there a Hot Toys Alien 3 Ripley bald head sculpt in a foam box on display or something. They had the Alien, Aliens and Alien 3 Ripley planned as well as a Powerloader . . . then it just gets swept under the rug.
NECA are pumping out their Ripley figure variations left and right, so it must not be an approval issue. So lame, maybe Jonesy is the problem and won't give up his likeness. But hey, at least we're getting the Alien Girl! Best of both worlds.

We've only been waiting since July 2014. The real angst doesn't begin until next summer.

The whole Marvel push these days, feels like one big McDonalds happy meal promotion. It's all just a blur of consumerist land fill now, & Hot Toys is part of that blur.
It'd be ok if we'd gotten a Ferrigno HULK, Nicholas Hammond Spidey, Famke Jean Grey, 70s DOFP Logan or even a damn Dafoe Goblin or Molina Ock from them by now.. but no.
It'a all about the quick bucks, which is fair enough (for them).. but where would they be without US.
Tell me about it.

For every 15 Iron Man Hot Toys action figures you buy, you'll have a chance to buy one action figure from a niche film license (ie anything that's not Marvel or Star Wars or the new Batman movie)! Order your Iron Man action figures today!

Makes no sense to me. Original figur perhaps but the 4th plus repeat I just don't get it
Especially figures we haven't got like Magneto and Xavier instead of constant repeats

...I guess it's called business. Unfortunately I don't think it counts much where they would be without 'us'. It must be pretty cheap for them to produce another expensive ironman now that it's just reuse of molds - so producing a whole new figure thAt sells much less is probably considered bad business.

Looking as bland and generic as all the others.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)
I think its fair to say hot toys has moved on from the 80's franchises such as aliens which once made them so popular. We're lucky to get even 1 release a year from that decade now. Its clear HT's priorites lie elsewhere. As time moves on these movies slip further and further out of the minds of the public and except for die hard fans who grew up watching the movies it just means there isn't enough demand for the figures to be produced.
HT's are all about Marvel, Stars wars and DC comics now whereas once they were all about Predator, Terminator and Aliens. While i can't blame them for this from a business point of view from a fans point of view particularly having grown up in the 80's it just sucks.

Totally agree. But I can't understand why a figure per year is too much for them...they could make 10 starwars or iron man figures, why the can not give us ripley that actually is already done since 2014!??? I really believe that next year we will have news about alien franchise.
