ALIEN and ALIENS Thread...

what's the difference in the trackers again? i didn't notice any difference.

You'll be happy Bro... check out the new detailing on Drake's Smart gun and Ripley's tracker, it now has a little screen (I'm swapping it with Hicks')

 

[Reinhardt]

i'm obviously an idiot! i actually don't have ripley with me at the moment so i can't check... but i'll look out for that.

oh, and thanks.

No worries Reiny. We are Alien freak brothers for life bro.

EDIT: Nevermind.

Hicks screen indicators are just painted darker and don't show up as well as Ripley's and Hudson's but it is there..

BTW, WE JUST PASSED 70,000 HITS!

Confirmation on Ripley's new HS in today's newsletter:

More about the Power Loader with Ellen Ripley set - As the most asked question in our mail box was “Is the Power Loader comes with Ellen Ripley figure?” Yes, we’ll definitely put her as a set, please don’t worry! In addition, let us take this chance to talk more about the new Ripley. Actually, this Ripley is not exactly the same as the previous one, as she will only dress in the white top, pants with her boots, without any weapon. Oh, sounds disappointed?! But we never let you, because the head of this Ellen Ripley is new sculpted which is better than before! Her new head-sculpted images will be uploaded very soon!

Very cool news, kudos to HotToys.

 

[Reinhardt]

That's great news Abake!!

Let me add to the joy. An email I received from Lonnie:

"Thanks for the order and Hudson will be making his debut very very soon. As you likely know, I am a bit of a perfectionist and this head much like Hicks is very tricky to get perfect so I keep having it refined a little. Trust me that the wait will be worth it."

 

[pjam]

Awesome news guys, thanks for the updates! So Lonnie says very very soon, hmm, when is that I wonder. At least he IS making one...

 

[MaulFan]

Sounds like Power Loader Ripley may have the "Get away from here you *****!" face in the HS

 

[figuremasterles]

Bless his heart!
I so wish I could see it. I wonder which, of the myriad of possible expressions they are going for....

My Chronos redo castup is soon too.
I will have some images up within a day or so of a painted final cast.
It may or may not top ole Lonnie's, nor is this a competition.
I am pulling for Lonnie's all the way!
I bet it kicks some!

Yeah, a REALLY angry Ripley might be appropo!

 

[MaulFan]

Well, aside from adding more collector value to it by making it more unique than the solo Ripley figure, the battle scene just begs for an angry head sculpt, you have to have your game face on going head to head with an Alien Queen.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yeah, a REALLY angry Ripley might be appropo!

Maybe they saw your repaint Les and thought they should step it up a notch.

Agreed! Having more than one Hudson head is a dream come true, especially one from the incomparable FML! This is great news all around. From no Hudson heads to two! Can't wait to see yours Les!

Yeah, me too Les! Then I'll have to decide which Hudson head I'll need to get you to paint for me!

 

[Reinhardt]

BOTH!!

Fighting an Alien Queen with a relaxed face would look a bit silly indeed, so this is great news about the new face sculpt for Ripley. I had really hoped for that! Now, all we need, is an Alien Queen Hot Toys!!




Oh, and we need a Bishop of course.

And if you ever get your hands on the ALIEN license, we need a Ash too!

 

[MaulFan]

And if you ever get your hands on the ALIEN license, we need a Ash too!

If SSC ever makes a Bilbo for their LOTR line, I'm sure one of our talented customizers could use the face sculpt to make Ash

 

[The ill Jedi]

...I'm sure one of our talented customizers could use the face sculpt to make Ash

Ash was a robotic Prick, I hate that bastard!

 

[screamingmetal]

A New Rip head sculpt is awesome news, I just wish the Power Loader set came with an extra head so I can switch it out with the first release.
I can't wait to see it.

 

[Reinhardt]

i wonder if they'll be able to do something about the elbows on Rips... like have a rubber body over her arms... the elbow joints are horrendous!
