Hey, at least you're not using apostrophes to denote a plural - that **** is like a fully fledged pandemic.

We used to say that in high school many moons ago.. it's all about the retro chic though these days, isn't it?

This is a pretty gnarly discussion.

I think this figure has entered the category of figures that will never see the light of day.

There have been a few ones of note for me...figures from HT that get the big announcement, the sometimes proto-tease or appear on lists somewhere that just quietly die.

Was always ready to buy that XM-FC Xavier...that ROTS Anakin...the Prometheus figures, the GOTG Drax and now this.

Looks like a no-go to me- IF we see Ripley at SDCC this year I would be VERY surprised- still doesn't mean anything- we might see Batman Returns but how many years have gone by on that one?
HT won't have time for ANYTHING beyond Marvel/SW..even Terminator looks kaput...

I'm not even interested in seeing this at anymore shows. Just wake me when preorder is available. Better yet, when its shipping.

You mean Genisys, right? Oh no, we're getting at least three figures from that POS.

Ahh.. the internet age.

T:G sucks - we know this. The part that's more disturbing though, is watching the entire cast & crew do 'the salute' as the T5 boat slowly bubbles downward into the murky depths of critical failure - & ultimately, box office 'Judgment Day'.

Life imitating art.

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

I want to continue believing that the Ripley figures will get made, especially this particular one. But Hot Toy's record with figure reveals and this much time afterward do not have a happy ending. I want to believe.

I wish they wouldn't have even had it all set up at Comic Con last year. What a downer.. Need this in my life.

Cancelled because Avengers repaints- think that is stupid?? It's reality with HT these days

wrong movie i know, but still i think it applies here.

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

After all it took to get her likeness... I have faith this will still get made. It's not some cult classic, it's a classic PERIOD. It may take a while, but it has to happen.

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

It'll happen - it's Sigourney Weaver from ALIEN, not McAvoy Xavier or Noomi or Ryan GL.

Give it time, honestly - what's the rush?

You could say "what about Batman returns then?" - I'd say, same applies.

Patience seems to be a dead virtue these days.

Totally, every time I log on, between this and the Drax thread, it's getting pretty annoying. Bunch of Chicken Littles around here. The sky is not falling, people.

I'm a very patient person, but even I'll have to admit this is nonsense. Nothing for almost a year. If they release this I'll buy it, if they don't, I doubt I'll cry about it. If I didn't jump off a bridge because they haven't done anything about the 1/4 scale police assault Terminator, then I'll live.

Honestly, they really need to be up front with people. If you're not going to do something fine, tell people. If it's delayed for an extended period of time, tell people. What are you gaining by not doing so? What is the advantage, business or otherwise?
