I hope these are delayed in order to ride buzz surrounding Blomkamp's film a bit more.

Pretty sure this is bunk. There's so many of us on here that have different sources and I'm positive we'll know when this goes up for PO due to the people in the "know". At the moment all we can do is check FB for updates and wait until Comicon.

I think Alibaba is basically eBay.

I smell ********.

Though the price is about right for a HT Ripley with power loader

Yep, it's BS. They used a convention shot, no HT announcement or product images.

I think Alibaba is basically bootleg eBay.

Though you'll find plenty of bootlegs on regular ol' eBay as well.

Alibaba is legit. Whether or not this auction is legit remains to be seen. It is possible that they are selling the figure, although it may not be licensed HT. I was one who got hoodwinked with the fake Wolverines years ago. The demand for that piece got so high that someone took notice and started reproducing them. I heard rumors that it might have even been one of the factories that was producing the original. Who knows, might be the case here. Of course I'd hate to think that because then it might be the case that HT has no plans on releasing it. All conjecture on my part.

That Wolverine is hard to differentiate from the legit one. Just sayin'.

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

It's definitely not legit.

$800, before the official HT product announcement, no production pictures, and the picture they use isn't even the most up to date prototype head sculpt.

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

That listing may not be above board - maybe it's fake, maybe it's reputable and they're just speculating - but at least the price sounds about right.

I'm thinking we're looking in the neighborhood of at least $700 for the figure and Power Loader which is why I'm strongly considering the NECA version.

 

[cmiller99]

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

Yeah, the price is ok but the rest of it seems dodgy to me.

Just as one shouldn't PO anything on eBay, one shouldn't do the same with Aliexpress.

We finally got BR Batman and Keaton, when the hell is this going up? The NECA version of Alien Ripley...it's just not cutting it for me.

could it be more fake ?

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

We've all seen these things on eBay. Alibaba is the same. Too many sellers to police them all; buyer beware.

She will come. I expect it will be as soon as I take a road trip and am offline and can't pre-order right away.

It'll happen for sure but I hope this doesn't go Batman Returns/McFly long

yeah i dont get how neca supposedly has her likeness rights yet the figure looks nothing like her. I would have never guessed they had any likeness rights looking at it.

It's a funny situation. If I didn't know better I'd have been saying NECA were being very clever - making it look 'just enough' like her but not all the way so as to avoid legal action on the likeness rights issue

LOL! I expect the same!

Ripley will basically complete my "Alien" collection. Already have Big Chap, Dallas and Kane. My only possible addition would be a custom Lambert in suit, which I've had on the back-burner for some time now.
