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

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

That latest pic really isn't too bad. Again, I'm sure they'll modify it further but at the moment it's quite passable. And anyone who has a problem with the hair in that shot needs their eyes checked. It looks bloody real there. Best rooted hair I've ever seen HT do, which makes it even more of a pity that they didn't go all-out with features like that on The Crow.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

first time HT makes a long human face instead of their usual squished from up and down.
aaaand they fail cause that face didn't need it

that face would fit A3 role, but that's not young Weaver. MMS117 story.

The Loader Ripley looks more convincing, age and expression-wise.

But why, oh why, did they have to use rubber arms?

REALLY psyched for this figure. Looking pretty great to my eye, even with the hair.



But I'm really surprised nobody's done a photoshop showing how bad the Jonsey likeness is!

Because they want to laugh at everybody when they deteriorate!

I'm disappointed. They missed on her likeness big time.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

Am I in the minority here, or does the sculpt look nothing like Weaver???

Bought on sight.

I think the likeness is there - tho it hardly looks perfect. The eyes & eyebrows need reworking. No issue with the rooted hair, but I'll bet it won't look anything like that in hand Much futzing required I reckon, but I'm ok with that if everything else ends up spot on.

Her arms will deteriorate faster than Kenner's Six Million Dollar Man skin.

I see A LOT of ripley there. Is it perfect? No, but if its a proto why would we expect it to be? Theyll tweak it like they do with all their figs, no big

Your in the minority. In needs tweaking for sure, but NOTHING like her? Nah

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

Well, the cat looks god-awful. NECA did an infinitely better job with Jonesy. Hell, I've seen toys for kids that looked more like actual cats.

Headsculpt looks much better in those shots, though. Maybe shave off a few years, but I see Weaver in those shots more than in the previous ones.

This. Just some minor tweaks and it will look much better.

What is it with HT and rooted hair for female figures lately, they don't make the figure better if anything it looks worse.
The likeness in there a little they need to make her looks younger though. Right now that hair looks like a bunch of yarn
Depending on price ill prob get this one, that power loader aliens version though I don't want to know how much that'll go for.

Idiots on facebook always complaining abut seams.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

That is one fugly figure. The more I look at it the more I don't like it.

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

It's definitely the eyes and eyebrows that need work. I the eyes could be spread a little futher apart by a MM or two.
