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

Also wish they'd tighten up the tailoring on the clothes; they feel so baggy.

That's still my biggest problem with it, far more than anything about the likeness or the rooted hair. But sadly at this stage I guess the clothing is considered final - in fact it doesn't seem to have undergone any change at all since we first saw it.

Materials & fit just don't seem quite right, disappointing.
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

I watched the original Alien this weekend. I don't think Hot Toys have the likeness there on either the Alien or Aliens Ripley yet. I wanted the final Aliens battle Ripley a bit more originally. Now I would take a sweaty Ripley from the end of Alien when she's running around with the flamethrower.

This is seriously taking way more time than it should for the PO to happen. COME ON!!!

:rotfl Always seems that way, doesn't it? It'll be worth the wait. Glad they had the gumption to do rooted hair, makes a HUGE difference when done right. If it sells well, which I think it will, they may do a "Lucky Star" Ripley - may even do a 2 pack Ripley DX ( this plus Moebius), which would be insane.

I agree, it will be worth the wait. And I love it when they do rooted hair and it comes out perfect. A DX Ripley would be too cool. I just hate waiting when it's been 3 and a half months since she was first unveiled.

This figure is back on my radar - maybe by Toy Fair we'll see PO info? I'm also hoping that an updated Big Chap is in the works - I mean, it's a given, right? :pray: If I had to have one Ripley - this is it. It's funny, because I've always considered Aliens to be my favorite film in the franchise, but over the years I think I've come to appreciate the artistic merits of the first film more. The second one has become so... commercial? I don't know, I guess Aliens always takes me back to the Dark Horse Comics and Leading Edge Role Playing games; now it's just everywhere... and I'm getting sick of Queen/Power Loader dioramas, lol.

What if they put this on the back burner like they did for Ica Bob Crane :( then we are screwed, also maybe they are waiting on Mrs. Weaver to sign off, who knows?

She's notoriously unwilling to sign her likeness away, like Jack Nicholson. Hopefully that won't cause the price to skyrocket.

Considering she is probably perfectionist,maybe we will get good sculpt,no possible slacking around from HT.

Is she notorious for that? Maybe that's why we haven't seen any figures of her?

Preorder!!!!!! Come on!!!!!! :gah:

They have announced everything else for pre order right? I wish this was announced before Blake and Gordon, which might hurt sales for this if they ever announce it but maybe they will announce Batman Returns first then Ripley.
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

BD Robocop, Ripley and Returns Batman the three figures that I was interested in from SDCC. Atleast HT reveiled Chewbacca. I'm actually considering not purchasing Sideshow R2 D2 and save that money for Ripley.
