I'm looking forward to receiving my Ripley, but I'm almost more eager to see the custom work you guys will do on her!

Yeah, me too! I got my Ripley, Hudson and Drake from Toys2 on Friday. The gear and outfits are AMAZING of course! The Drake and Ripley headsculpts aren't bad, but definitely need a repaint. The Hudson comes with what I believe is referred to as the HT 'Stoner' head, so it actually looks more like Hicks...so anyone wishing to replace their Hicks head with the 'Stoner' head can take it from Hudson. That's my plan anyways...just needs a repaint to make the hair lighter, etc....then I'll have to find a head to use for Hudson. Hopefully Lonnie will have one of those available to us soon!
Bottom line though, these figs are FANTASTIC! Great additions to compliment the Apone, Hicks and Vasquez...Now I can't wait for the power-loader and Aliens warrior figs to REALLY get some COOL displays happening! :chew

Looks like Hot Toys Navy SEAL in Vietnam Stoner Machine Gunner to me...
As soon as I opened up the box for Hudson the first thing that hit me was that it looked like the Stoner sculpt photos I'd seen on this board. Can anyone else verify that it is indeed the Stoner sculpt used for Hudson? If so, it makes a GREAT Hicks head...Just check out what Les did to it (and what I'll need Les to do for mine!)
Got my Ripley from SSC today. She's great! So glad I didn't cancel my order.

It's interesting that the Ripley that comes with the PL combo has the sweat stains on her shirt.

Ripley looks already quite good. Yet if she were to be repainted, she'd be awesome!

Ripley looks great. Despite the fact that I feel she's really over priced, I really want one.

I figure, if I don't like her face, I have a great purpose for the face hugger that comes with the brown exclusive AvP Alien

It looks like damn near the same head. I'm in mid repaint of the Stoner sculpt and it's a perfect Hicks. Mine is nowhere near as nice as what Les did though... that damn thing is amazing.
Here's the almost finished Hicks... I know, the eyes are all jacked up... need to Redo them ASAP.

Yeah most Hot Toys figures don't have feet. The boots have the insert pivot joints that push into the ankles. My Rocky and Rambos are the same way. I have been looking on ebay just for Hot Toys feet but I never seem to find them unless I buy an NGL nude.

This is something I never heard of. I do think my Rambo II figure has feet, are you talking about another version?dekadentdave said:
I have at least 10 human Hot Toys figures and they all have feet. You might have popped the foot out of the ankle but left the foot in the boots.

My Halo Rambo doesn't and neither does my Rocky.

This must be a new approach Hot Toys is using. Very stupid of them to do that, they should at least include feet for the price they charge.dekadentdave said:

I agree. It definitely was an inconvenience when I decided to customize one of them and now it looks like I will have to buy a whole body just for a pair of loose feet.

So far, I only have RoboCop, AvP Alien, and ED209 at home, so, I don't know about feet... Ripley will be my first human from HT...
I think the facehugger should've been an accessory that came with the regular AvP Alien Warrior as well!It is very well done and is awesome...I would've gladly waited an extra month to get it if Hot Toys packed them in!
Now ToysSquare has the PL+Ripley offered for $250 in the 3rd Quater!
So which bloody quarter is it?!!!!!
This Power Loader has been a pain in the asss since its confused announcement.
4th Q at $250 for PL without figure, 2nd-to-3rd Q for PL WITH Ripley figure also for $250 thru SS.
I'm waiting for the announcement at the end of this week for the PL+Ripley with new Aliens Alien and facehugger!
Then of course we'll get the new BD PL with Queen Alien at SDCC.

I completely love Hot Toys. But with their Ani-Com Scar, their upgraded Robocops, and now their Power Loader variation/confusion, they're reminding me of a really hot chick who flirts with other men when she's supposed to be with you and gives mixed signals all night.
