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

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

This works but I don't know if HT plans to do anything more than the ripley's. I mean its not like HT doesn't buy
licenses and then just do 1 or 2 figures from it.

I have a strong felling that we will see the Marines done again. First off there is interview where they talked about doing Ripley, villains from The Dark Knight and the Marines. Well, we Ripley and a new Joker. Second, why not remake them? We are coming up on the 30 year anniversary AND they would sale like crazy because people are asking for them.

Plus, they'd include lots of reusable parts. Yes, each marine has customized bits of their armor, but the a lot of the underlying pieces are the same. So are the weapons and the jumpsuits. Any time HT can reuse molds, that's economy of scale and it lowers their production costs.

Wasn't that an April Fools interview you're referring to. As it happens Ripley was made and a rehashed Joker came out but the marines are still up in the air. Having said that, I don't see why they wouldn't revisit the marines.

I've heard it was real and fake, so who knows. They also talked about Days of Future Past and we might get a Wolverine now. Personally, I agree with your line of thinking.

They also surprised us a few weeks back with the 'Living Carpet' that was also referenced in the April Fool's post as well. And they really like to release or tease new items around anniversaries. 2014 is the 35th ann. of ALIEN, 2016 is the 30th of ALIENS! The Alex Murphy fig came out of nowhere, so who knows.

For an April Fool's joke it was surprisingly bang on....

I need Hudson and Hicks!!!!!!!!!

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

We'll probably get them. As Indiana Fett said, possibly in 2016.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

I would personally be happy with just a Hicks but if they did a bunch of marines that would just be the icing on the cake. And if they do marines a Bishop and Newt would make this line outstanding.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

I'd say the same will happen for Aliens as it did with Alien this year. 30th anniversary tie-ins, a new game, making of books, comics, new figures. The license will b announced as though it were a brand new acquisition next year, with figures shown at SDCC and released in 2016, similar to BTTF to coincide with its anniversary.

Give us Hicks and then give us a Kyle Reese.

 

[Bo Shrek]

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

I would say give us Hicks, Hudson and Reese when figures were $150. But at $230 I can pass!

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

I think a few marines would sell very well. Especially with the outstanding detail Hot Toy's would do with the armor. I'd bet Hicks, Hudson and Vasquez would sell just fine. Anyone past that would be only for die hard fans and completionists. I have no idea what the market would be for a Bishop or Newt. But those three marines, I think, would sell pretty well. Will we ever find out? That's what makes this hobby fun. The anticipation of things to come.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

I hope that in the future the aliens reproduce in version 2.0 as happened with the predator. Ripley is just the beginning!

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

I don't get it HT acts like we only want predator 2.0s and that doing an alien 2.0 will be too difficult or something.
C'mon HT get with it already and do some freaking aliens!

 

[Jayrod88]

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

I would buy the following:
Ripley obviously, Hudson, Hicks, Vasquez, Alien warrior Blue, Alien Warrior Black, Neut, and Bishop.

no apone?

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Bishop, Hudson and Drake, if only for this.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

that would look cool as a group pose
