Who said Ripley would come after Drax? I think Hot Toys read that post and gave us another flip of the finger. I can't rant and rave the way I'd like due to swear filter and risk of getting banned, but basically. What the actual ...

OSR says she's after IM XLVI, which was today. So maybe Friday? I'm thinking they'll hold her until the 19th or week of, but for your sakes, I hope it's Friday.

Tomorrow is May The 4th, so Hot Toys will release RIPLEY logically... : lol

Nah, something tells me they won't miss a Star Wars day.

So HT recognizes SW Day right away with a new Leia, but completely ignored Alien Day. So sad.

I've resigned myself to as expecting as much from them.

I don't know why you guys keep comparing announcements of new figures to the release of this one. It's a lot easier to announce a figure than to put one out.

..............on a related note...........apparently it's easier to release all other figures not named Ripley.

Lets just hope that when this figure arrives it does not look generic like Commando, Ichabod Crane, Bruce Banner & BD T-800

Then it will all be a waist of waiting!!

 

[kazar123]

I hope they improved it. The prototype isnt very impressive.

It would be interesting to know how much Ripley sells, and the warrior for that matter. Maybe we just don't get that this franchise now is a niche line and we should be happy that they even bother with it at all. I know that Neca seems to sell the line pretty good, but maybe people just stick with Neca when it comes to Alien. We don't see any unlicensed figures at all. Even Danny Glover from Predator 2 gets an unlicensed figure. And all the unlicensed Marvel stuff. There's a ton of characters that these companies could put out. "Space Captain" (Dallas)... hell, we even tried to get a custom figure of Dallas made here - and we couldn't even get 10 people to stay interested...

I don't think that many at all. Maybe 200+ out of the gate. Take a long, long time to sell all 500.

These older licenses should bring additional accessories as well. They could have at least thrown in an Alien chest-burster or face-hugger to sweeten the deal.

An "Ash" head with real milky goodness would have been pretty cool, too.
