Looking as bland and generic as all the others.

Kreist almighty.

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.

Great post. While I do collect MCU, SW and DC, I'd love to see more figures from the classic '80s properties. But Howard's company has become big enough to scoop up all of the mega licenses and that's where his priorities now lie.

Yeah, even Sideshow is going down that road. It's SW, Marvel, DC, COTD. Not many companies now focus on older movie franchises (Chronicle is one that comes to mind). Since movie properties are my main interest rather than comic-based characters, I'm being pushed out of the hobby not by price, but by the lack licenses that are being produced that I'm interested in.

I have send a second mail to hot toys. First one was a couple of months ago, and they answered to keep looking their facebook ans so on. We will see what they say now...
Hi again from Spain,

I am sorry to ask you again for ripley. Alien fans we have a lot of patience and we love your wonderful work. We really appreciate your efforts in bringing us figures from our fauvourite movies but you are only focusing in 3 o 4 licenses and forgetting the rest. We are lots of people interested on ripley. I send youba link from our forum, we are all waiting for you to give a litle information about this figure.

https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/...en-ripley-alien-updated-prototype-hs-253.html

253 pages for 3 pictures from a figure that you announced in 2014 and from which we don't know anything else, proves our interest.

Please give us a litle hope or leave us focus in other figures. Please we really need to know something about ripley.

I appreciate the effort and sentiment but good luck with that.

Ripley would probably get the Hot Toys B-team anyway.

They'll respond with exactly the same thing they said last time. "Stay tuned". Is that all Howard Chan ever says?

The future of HT Ripley...

Admirable...but mistaken.

"Stay tuned!" is Chanese for "**** off!"

"Stay tuned!" is Chanese for "**** off!"

By that extension, the phrase 'stay tuned for more great collectibles coming soon from Hot Toys!' must mean '**** off, more Iron Men coming soon. Eat it!"

It's like the Rosetta Stone of 1/6 Figure Disappointment.

I really wish Hot Toys would stop teasing figures before they're 110% sure they'll be released. I was just thinking about this figure again today, and I'm just so *&$$#@ that we're probably never going to see it, because I REALLY wanted her. Really, really, really wanted her.

Same thing with the X-Men Charles figure they teased. UGH!

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

Me also I really want her!!!
As I told in that post before, we should send mails to hot toys asking for her. In facebook they asked for the light saber for rey, and they get it! We need to make noise guys if we want to get her.
Last chances this year in summer, if we don't get news about her in the comic con....
This year is the 30h aliens anniversary so...may be
