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

[P.]

Yes, it's a one piece.

don't persuade me, i know that. the image is for those who are still uncertain

definitely sleeves around the belt.

Hehe, I know, I was just backing you up

 

[Brett Banner]

could it be not pants but the suit hanging down from upper half, with sleeves tied around the belt?
i think that's what is seen on this photo where she is in "just the white shirt" as you describe:

^^^ Yep, it's this. My only real complaint is that I wish the jumpsuit was a thinner material like what Blitzway is using on their Ghostbusters. I honestly don't think the head sculpt looks that bad, especially compared to some other upcoming figures like the BTTF2 Marty or Doc.

I've seen people criticise the Doc sculpt (one guy completely nailed what's wrong with that one with a PS mod) but I thought people were generally happy with that Marty sculpt.

I think people do seem happy with the Marty sculpt and I don't get it at all, haha.

I get the impression if hot toys went totally accurate with the white shirt it would make her appear too bulky under the jumpsuit. The white shirt has the shoulder straps, thick pockets and rolled sleeves. That would surely show through the jumpsuit on this figure and wouldn't look right.

Yep, confused me as she appeared in more than one scene with no apparent jumpsuit top.

am i the only one here who never cared about wtf Ripley was wearing?

 

[a-dev]

I don't care as such but, as always, I would defer to the guys who seem to know more about it and I would want them to get their criticisms addressed because ultimately it would mean a better figure for all.

But you care about the exact number of ribs on the alien or piston size on the Terminator?

So see, HT is batting 100 -- they got both wrong.

 

[P.]

no-no, i really appreciate all that input people provide!
it's just i feel this way for the first time: not "how can you ignore the inaccuracy" but "how the hell did you notice that at all and why is it a problem".
walking in others' shoes and feeling really weird
thus my question: am i the only one in this thread who doesn't care about buttons on her shirt? well at least i can feel unique

I don't really care if it's accurate right down to the stitch, but, aesthetically, the costumes in Alien were just as interesting as the set and creature design. I actually bought some art books just because I liked the costumes the crew wore. I'm not a button counter, but I do care about how it looks overall. Would be cool if they included the white shirt as an accessory for a different look like they did the two shirts with MMS117, or the whole extra wardrobe for T-1000.

thank you! after this phrase i finally understand why i don't care about her suit details.
it's because i hate 70ths/early 80ths idea of clothes design in sci-fi movies - star wars/blade runner were always best examples, but i never tried to think the same about alien

i mean, really - bleh.

looks as uncomfortably ugly as

P. dammit... you disappoints me! ;-)

Actually, I think the clothes in Alien look remarkably comfortable, like any workman's clothing...

so who's gonna be the first to do a Narcissus Ripley tank top/panties from this? bet at least one of the Phicen bodies should match the head sculpt color mostly....

Guyver.

well some don't like T1 clothes for "too 80ths" and i don't like 70ths depends on age i guess.

Actually, I think the clothes in Alien look remarkably comfortable, like any workman's clothing...

i was a worker on a thermal power plant and cannot see myself in such tight clothes as they wore in Alien. restricts movements so much that it's dangerous. like damn office clothes nowadays (hate them).
anyway i meant the overall view.

ominous smile of HT headsculpt and... well-developed humps and curves of Phicen bodies won't fit the scene

 

[Daggoth]

ive lost around 40 bucks on this figure because of pre-ording and canceling. In the end its just not HT's best
