did they add the snip buttons to her undershirt now too? IIRC they were omitted in previous photos from HT/Sideshow.

Yes, they added snaps (one side only) and it seems they corrected the watch face, jury still out on detail of rear corset.

Stay tuned...
 
and they seem to have pushed her left hand in all the way for her photos this time too!
 
I think the face sorta reminds me of the knock off Rey head in terms of the difference in detail between the prototype and final release.
 
You can definitely see some improvements in the sculpt there. I think most of the problem is just with the eyes. Both with the lack of upper eyelids and the fact the irises are painted a bit too big and dark (like they nearly always seem to do).
 
Trust me. The Asian market cares about the movie. Most of my Twitter feed is Japanese model kit builders obsessing over the 79 Alien in ways that would make Sabres look like a casual fan. Probably right about the specific character of Ripley, though.
Oh... Well, then...
HT better find so pretty convinsing excuse for makin' this figure look so meh.
 
I think she turned out good but I'm likely going to pass. I've decided to try and limit my purchases aside from the main lines I collect (Batman and Star Wars) so she doesn't make the cut. Kinda hard to pass on but ultimately I don't know that she'd really fit in with my collection anyways.
