Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)
Yeah really
HT will never have anything to worry about, no matter the quality of their product, they always have Marvel sales to fall back on.
Yeah really

THAT sculpt is what we should be getting. Not ordering 'til I see final pics, if at all.
I agree....
HOT TOYS, WHERE IS THIS SCULPT.??

don't know what people are unhappy about. from what i have or had only Murphy looks more recognizable. and somebody said that it's not fully painted yet.
wish they opened her ears (or at least one ear) though.
but may be i've looked at that head on a stick image for too long now.
Please reconsider bringing back the rooted hair Hot Toys !!

I think the sculpt captures the first photo extremely well. So either people are expecting Alien Ripley to look more like Aliens Ripley, or that first picture is simply not Ripley. Hot Toys captured one look and did it pretty well.
I showed her to my dog as he knows absolutely nothing about collectibles. He was wagging his tale so I'm definitely gonna get this one!! ;-)
Edit: crap... my cat didn't seem to care about her, so now I'm on the fence... [emoji51]
wait, i've seen it in a movie...In my head I still look young-ish, then I look in a mirror and think, "Who the **** is that old guy?"
JC Hong posted new pics of the finished test paint apps. Personally I think the first angle is the best. It's certainly recognizable, but not quite there for A1. Something about the chin/mouth area.
Better than NECA's effort though. Only high-end A1 Ripley we're going to get for now.
