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

[Bo Shrek]

With the Wolfenstein Pred there's still hope. But I don't think I have another 3 years in me from proto reveal to heavily delayed shipping.

Agreed!! Crazy the thought of three years for Ripley

I have a feeling Wolf won't be as long. The last AVP predators were pretty quick to release. Yes they were mostly retooled but HT has always been on good schedule with the predators and I think they have a bit of a brain to realize the wolf will sell really well.

Oh, hey. Someone did it.

Wow, really love that first shot. And the likeness looks about as good as I've ever seen it too.

Is that is for the striptease?

Or is there more?

Even if the clothes would allow it I don't think ankle extenders are a great option when there isn't a way to correspondingly increase the length of the thighs.

Sigourney Weaver has a rather long neck; We might be able to give her a bit of added height by popping off the head and extending the neck rod a bit, or by not pushing the head down fully.

Ripley doesn't take anything else off, but she gets it on with an alien:

That's it, keep the cat nice and safe:

Nooooo! Don't let the cat out!

Okay, if you must...

Anyone want eggs for breakfast?

Were they ever that colour?


For scale:

Anyone want eggs for breakfast?

does those count as unlicensed figures or as bootlegs? won't this thread suffer?

because i see HT eggs and Konami facehugger.

I suppose it was sure as eggs is eggs they'd turn out to be copies.


If that's what they are, does that mean they're proper 1/6 scale?


As for suffering, this is a thread that has known suffering.

So, I ordered from Timcent. While paying, I noticed free shipping was economy instead of standard (I was looking at several auctions at once, and thought the once I bought had free standard). Right after I paid I noticed a message pop up saying "This seller is currently away until 22 Sep, 2017, and isn't processing orders at this time. You can add this item to your watch list to purchase later."

I sent him a message asking if I could upgrade to expedited shipping.

"Is it possible to upgrade to expedited shipping instead of free?"

Got this back a couple of hours later.

"hi，friend，The item will be shipped within 3-5 days."

So, I immediately replied:

"I understand it will be shipped in 3-5 days. I was asking if I can pay the extra $21 to have shipping updated from the free economy shipping to expedited shipping."

To which I immediately receive the automated message:

"sunny_lisa2017 is out of the office until 09/21/2017 and may not be able to respond to your message."

Honestly, If he won't let me just pay for expedited shipping when he returns I'll just cancel and buy somewhere else. I can't be arsed to wait another two months on shipping. Whole point of buying straight from HK was to get it faster.

That Jonesy is just the perfect storm of horrible decision making. No idea why they went with that pose, or having his face frozen in an unconvincing hissing expression - and that's without taking into account the sculpt and paint.

They should have gone for his expression/pose in the scene where the xenomorph kills Brett.

I suppose it was sure as eggs is eggs they'd turn out to be copies.

as a buyer, i'm totally ok with any product that fits my needs and is finally produced. i cannot say anymore to avoid suspicion of bootleg support

If that's what they are, does that mean they're proper 1/6 scale?

well i definitely used them as 1/6.
i will try and find an old photo where i put HT eggs (if they weren't fake already) and Konami facehugger with a HT A1, so you can judge.

imgur doesn't want to upload images.

I've seen free Happy Meal toys that have better sculpts and paint apps than HT Jonesy. LOL

LOL So glad I never pre-ordered this monstrosity. This is a bargain bin figure. This is not the Hot Toys quality. ALl those delays and this is what they produced?

Excellent photo! Can't wait for my Ripley to arrive!

 

[Captain-Miles-Dallas]

All these photos of Ripley are giving me some great ideas for how I'm
going to pose her.

 

[Anthrapoid]

I might have to switch to a Phican seamless body for this one... That will add some extra height and remove the seams at the same time. As a bonus, Ripley will become a D-cup! YEAH BABY.
