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

[P.]

Even this apparently has a disclaimer in the game by the makers that states its an "alternate" take -- meaning a different way to look at the scene from the movie. All it proves is that a lot of young boys liked the idea of **** by alien and it took hold.

i provided proof that Scott made Ash **** Ripley (for the worst reason - out of spite to humans). so Ridley was mad, but he caused this.

other people reminded you about O'Bannons intention to make the whole movie about disgusting interspecies ****. so Dan was mad, but he caused this.

i provided a direct quote from Cartwright who spoke about her own heroine - the only thing she could assume about Lambert's death was that she had been *****. so Veronica was dreaming about alien **** by your own definition of the case, but she caused it as well as she was the most ancient mentioner of it.

everything around Alien mentioned and caused this conclusion - but you're in denial and insult everybody who isn't.

at least be consequent and insult the source first and interpreters next.

BTW you mention "young boys" so often and with such hate that i wonder: what's your true dark story with them?

I give up, guys...

Yeah, I give the developers full marks for the design and research. It's genuinely impressive, and, at its best, very immersive. But it disappointed me that the alien, likely due to necessary game dynamics, is more Alien: Resurrection than Alien: it stomps, screeches, jumps, leaps, etc. with all the finesse of a Jurassic Park Raptor.

I wish some enterprising fan would mod the game to scale back the alien to its 1979 roots. Yes, that would impact game play, etc., but I'd love to play that game.

That exists, I believe. A friend was telling me there's a "no alien" mod that scales it back to only the scripted encounters and beefs up the number of those creepy-as-**** synthetics prowling the corridors.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

HELLO? I have added new pictures of Ripley figure and you still talking about a game? Ha ha ha ha.

By the way: Alien Isolation is the best Alien spin off movie. I love it.

I surrender guys...

It looks alright. Clearly hasn't had as much effort as the Harley Quinn figures sunk into it, but I'll pick one up eventually given the lack of an alternative (or just keep buying Macross and Patlabor toys instead )

Back to Ripley, thanks...

I give up, guys...

thank you for sharing those pics Agromenauer
i liked the figure from the beginning and never even сomplained about waiting, and every step they made brought it higher and higher for me. so far the only figure i've been so accepting for, to the point where i don't want to change anything, was Robocop (though it would be physically impossible to change anything about him except for the color).

told myself that i will play Isolation again only when i have Ripley. this day comes closer and closer.
body proportions look very Ripley-ish to me, looks like i won't risk replacing the body with anything.
oh and i always was for "sculpted noodles" agains "pubic hair", and they look better than i ever expected.

you were one of the strongest critics of the headsculpt, do you like it now or is it still a half-aed job by your judgement?
wait, why is that word not autocensored. i'll better do it manually.

============

checked the thread way back to post #8200, didn't see these two photos:

The only photo where Jones looks decent.

The only photo where head sculpt looks decent.

"Another thing about Hot Toys' Jones is it has got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes..."

STUNNING Figure!
Could not understand it but nice quality, piece is good as i had hoped .

 

[WolfBoy]

My god that cat lol.

 

[P.]

i really really hope bases will be available separately on ebay later. nobody wanted to sell the one that came with latest A2.

i don't know French at all, but this moment (screenshot below) really doesn't need translation

also i now think that first variant Jonesy was way better than the final product, despite a wrong color.

Someone should commission a cat sculpt for this fig. Would people buy it?

I won't be using the one that comes with Ripley. Don't like it.

 

[P.]

well maybe you'll want to sell it to me?...
i need at least 2 for my A1 as A2. (as my A1 was secondhand and never had the base, plus it didn't have the support rod anyway, and A2 donated his base to a soldier.)

Someone should commission a cat sculpt for this fig. Would people buy it?

i probably would, but i think it'd cost $100 while i'd be ready to pay $30.

 

[Alice]

Sure. I'll let you know when I get it.

 

[P.]

huh. thank you! though postal prices might stop this from happening.

 

[Alice]

We'll see, I guess. Might be able to work something out.

 

[burtial]

When making that very final last sculptural tweak, I wonder if the person who sculpted Jonsey sat back in their chair and proudly proclaimed "Nailed it!"

The sculpt looks really good as Dean is moving it around.

Cute dog. Well behaved too.
