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

[Alice]

what size does that ball have? (i don't know the dimensions of that green grid's squares)
i so wish it was a male size, so i could simply use extenders available on ebay.

The squares are cm. The peg itself appears to be the same standard size. I have some of the old barbell style pegs from the HT Dutch, and they look to be the same size.

 

[P.]

i think it's great news for anybody who want to make her taller. looks like zero problem with that.
soooooo Nostromo boots fitting male feet. interesting...

 

[Alice]

Shoes should work, but for anyone planning to use the white shirt for Dallas or someone else, it's not gonna work. Not unless you do some re-tailoring. It's a pretty tight fit even on Ripley. Also, Dallas had a yellow WY eagle on his left breast, where, I think, everyone else's was blue. One thing I noticed is on the figure's shirt, the pocket that's supposed to be on the left sleeve is on the right sleeve. And, because of this, the Nostromo patch that should be on the right sleeve isn't there.

 

[P.]

no, i meant a possibility for HT to reuse parts as they are already made, and the one that needs a mold already can fit male bodies... i don't even know if i need Dallas, but if it appeared, i might pick him.

 

[Alice]

Oh, yeah. They could definitely re-use them. I doubt they would ever make any of the other crew members though. I like the costumes enough to maybe pick them up, even though I really don't need or want any of the other characters.

One thing I didn't know about the shoes until recently is the red isn't supposed to be there. The entire shoes was painted white, but the paint started to flake off on Ripley's, and you could see some of the original red stripe underneath.

 

[P.]

huh, so Neca painted them properly.
some material to support what you said:

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

and that's what i got for googling "Ripley suit".

 

[FlyAndFight]

I ordered the chestburster/egg set in dark green so that it would match the ones that came with Kane and Dallas and the extras that I had picked up over the years. I already have the chestburster and facehugger but you can never have enough!

I'm sure everyone is familiar with this, but its still a great story: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2009/oct/13/making-of-alien-chestburster

 

[Ex-Parrot]

I picked up one of each, at those prices I'll either see which I prefer in hand, and keep the other eggs for a rainy day, or else just mix and match.

 

[Agromenauer]

I'm still waiting for Ripley... my Postal service (Spain) has changed package numbers and now they must fight with spanish customs to dispatch my item... It's Ripley's curse...

Bless you for keeping the magic going.

Got her in this week and finally could do a review:



If you play with the lighting you get some good likeness results IMO:

Uh-oh...The cat's outta the bag....er, I mean box.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That cat box looks a little small to me now when she's holding it.

I think I need to find someone to do rooted hair for me. The whole figure is elevated by rooted hair.

 

[Asta]

Jones looks about 1/8 scale.

A completely useless accessory except for stuffing in Ripley's little box.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, the cat is way undersized, but I'm just now noticing that the box itself looks a bit under scale too. I wish the cat head was looking up, so you could see it thru the top glass. Then again, maybe hiding the face was the best decision.

Still, the face looks pretty good on Ripley and the flightsuit fits very well.

 

[davejames]

Those oversized irises on her are still bugging me. If someone were to repaint them to a more normal size I'm sure it would improve the likeness even more.

 

[Asta]

Yes, the box looks pretty small as well:

Yeah I've been trying to look for a decent wig out there that might work. This one is the right size and with a bit of styling and futzing might look good, but it's hard to say:
