Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)
I'll wait for final pre-order pictures and prices to decide; though right now I'm leaning more towards Alien Ripley over Power Loader Ripley. I think it just really works all around, and if they come out with an Alien HT, it'll fit nicely with that. Plus, I can see the power loader pricing being quite high in the end.
The new pictures aren't the greatest, but no pictures really are. It all depends on lighting and how things are shot. As for the eyes, I can't see the upwards look sticking. If they're not PERS (which, as mentioned above, would be tough with the hair) then it's likely just an error at the show. The ONLY reasoning for it would be if they're making an Alien and expect everyone to pose her looking up at it...but that'd be bizarre, and quite unlikely, as that's assuming too much. I wouldn't read too much into it right now, as it's probably just something that will change.
On the hair front, I'm fine with it. I think it looks good, and the friz isn't out of control either. I mean, she
has been battling a Xenomorph for a while by this point...it's going to look a bit out of place!
Plus, it's not like she styled it beforehand either...it just falls where it falls with her from the start!
Those who don't want to deal with it will just have to wait for Alien 3 Ripley!
Maybe the prototypes are having seizures.
