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

I was going to say something about outdated Asian stereotypes, but decided to google 'Korean cat soup' first out of curiosity.

Well that ruined my day

ok. plastic cat doesn't look like Ripley, too!

damn. i did the same. and now i know why that hot toys "cat" is skinned.

I made sure to check before posting...

I think you're onto something.

Sheeeeeeeeeit.

Good thing I saw these posts before I googled. My eyes are unsullied...

This is definitely a figure I'm going to wait to see an upward trending in the exchange rate before I order

This is definitely a figure I'm going to buy instantly - no matter if the head is upside down or replaced with the cat's.

Where is the space collar accessory!? Haha

But seriously, I would be disappointed with this figure thus far. The likeness isn't great and when I look at my Robocop figures (Murphy) I know they can do better. And the accessory of Jonesy, with the way he looks, is not worth it at this point. I know he is just a cat but man...doesn't do Jonesy justice. I actually loved that cat!

Me too. No animal should be made to suffer like that.



In happier news, I put my order in for Ripley today. Going local with this one.

...this is all awful, but what does Korea has to do with Hot Toys or Ripley for that matter? Cats are hissing everywhere!

HT's sculptors are Korean.

...or based in Korea - they may not be all Korean born.

I pulled the preorder trigger on this. Jonesy really needs to be re-sculpted or something, but the rest of the work on this is spot on. Cant wait

This thread and the Wonder Woman movie thread... anarchy.

And a-dev a common denominator... hmm

Who's he hitting on this time, the Ripley sculpt?
