1/6 1/6 Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien - Collectible Figure

[P.]

Please.. who the hell else does it look like?

hmmmm let's play that new game.

other figures give either 90-100% likeness or just give a wrong person.
judging by other variants below, the only thing that is Weaver there is curly hair

and how can you tell quality from a pic??

yeah. quality is another thing. breaking plastic, rotting plastic, unglued details, rough sculpting of details, one-piece sculpting of details that previously consisted of many parts, thus allowing a lot better sculpt... it can be felt only in hand, and yes HT quality is lower and lower

yep you found a great game.
shells075 even tried to utilise it for further playing, but unfortunately he put his thread in an abandoned section, so it didn't work

 

[Agromenauer]

I can't believe it. Less figure likeness, more matching... It's crazy!!

I got a 97% match with Star Ace Viktor today.

well the first one in you picture is not even a human but some ANTZ warrior. so no wonder it wasn't recognized
the last one looks awful on that shot.

that sounds... troubling. do you look that bad?

You're using a photo of a 67 year old Sigourney Weaver to compare. One from 1979 would make more sense.

i doubt the server of that page uses only one photo to compare. i even think that it uses a computer model rather than a photo - like face recognition systems. and if so, than, though being a joke, it's actually a good way to see if the sculptor was on a right path.

and you missed the game.

P's right, it's not only using that picture. That's just the default pic for the final result. They'll have a database with pictures of everyone at various ages.

That match website is a disaster for such an easily influenced bunch as collectors.

 

[cmiller99]

I can't wait for people to start using it unironically to argue for a sculpt's greatness.

pffff.
make a figure cost $100, and collectors will forgive anything about the headsculpt.
make a figure cost $1000, and collectors who managed to buy it will again forgive anything about the headsculpt just to tell others that they simply envy.
you don't need any additional services to manipulate collectors

I'm hyped for this figure. I think it looks like her but maybe a little older than in Alien. I think she looks good but I'll probably be beaten for saying that, haha

But, as you can see, the old sculpt is 53% Sigourney, where the new sculpt is only 47%!

 

[cmiller99]

The new sculpt is also 43% Carrie Fisher and Sylvia Plath so I think the lesson is trust your eyes, not these websites.

 

[P.]

you miss the point. the new sculpt is the only one that matches Weaver

 

[DeadLeaves]

No, you missed Alice's post! Look again at the pube hair sculpt results.

 

[P.]

erm, what.
