Jeez, just put up the specs/pics already. We saw this **** two years ago. Okay Hot Toys, you got Nike's approval for BTTFII Marty and Reebok's approval for Ripley, now show me the money.

I hope we can get this version of Ripley without the Power Loader, as I already have the original PL set and would like to replace just the figure.

But it's us that shows them the money. They just show us the Reeboks...

and 3 different pt. 1 prototypes

I hope that they fix some of the QC things that were common with the original PL

Excellent point. I still haven't attached the hoses due to the broken plastic pins...

Nah, this time it'll all be rubber. Rubber everywhere

Funny you should mention this. I just did a repair job on mine using the kit that a member here made a while back. It was spendy, but worth it, n my opinion.

I know you were joking (sort of), but while working on mine yesterday, I was pleased to discover that all of the rubber parts are still in fine condition. The rubber hoses were all still flexible and had no signs of cracking or deterioration. I've had this for almost 10 years.

^Great job drilling the holes, that's the toughest part, especially on the tricept and hamstring pistons.

Indeed, the hoses were never the issue. They seemed to be plastic/rubber type so they aren't prone to cracking.

Great work. My Ripley's been sitting on top of my Detolf for a couple of years now, but most of the hoses are broken off.

Any idea how deep the Powerloader is? Hoping it'd fit in my cabinet. I've got just under 30cm i'd guess...

Thanks. Yeah, I had some difficulty with the ones on the pistons. They are not exactly straight or centered, but once the hoses are in place , you can't really tell.

I'm not home right now to measure, but it fits in a Detolf with the shelf adjusted. The only thing is you are limited with what you can do with the arms. They pretty much have to be in a down position.

Wow that looks fantastic!!!

I'm gonna need a bigger display place if I ever get a PL!

The shelves on a Detolf are fixed, but there are ways to adjust them.

Here's a thread with some info about the method I use.
