These were posted for Facehugger Friday. Glad that made a return. Every day was Turtle Tuesday or Monster Monday for a long time there.

Ultimate Ripley from Alien?

i guess Neca found something they can do worse than terminators.
plus only kittens and a few specific breeds have blue eyes.

Yet still better than Hot Toys effort.

Ultimate Ripley from Alien?

Probably. I remember someone asking if they should overpay on ebay for the previous release of Ripley and he said nope, wait for the 40th anniversary line.

I don't understand... why are there two Jones with different size?

 

[a-dev]

Maybe Ripley is being released in 1/4 scale - although if that's the case I reckon it'll be the first and last one. I can see a Nostromo Ripley being a slow seller at that size. An Aliens version would probably do better because of the guns. Also not sure how the headsculpt would look upscaled, it's not NECA's finest likeness.

i assume both items shown are 2-ups, with the smaller jones being a production prototype or factory paint sample.

^perhaps more probable - not sure there's a big enough difference in size between the cats for one to be 1/4 and the other to be 1/10

I'm blocked by Randy. Let me know here when they announce Dallas in Nostromo suit.

Still find it hilarious that this can happen.

i don't even remember what HT monster cat looks like, it was definitely scarier than the alien.

I highly recommend hitting him with truth bombs.

He does not handle constructive criticism or even suggestions very well.

See personally I'm wary of criticizing how Randy conducts himself on twitter because the alternative is Howard Chan's way of doing things - total silence/zero communication. The rare interview Chan does give can be assumed to be 90% bull***t unless he's talking about Marvel. Hot Toys announces stuff, gets their customers excited, and then just changes their mind and cancels without any word of explanation. They're an @sshole company, frankly. NECA usually (always?) comes through and if they don't you'll at least get some information as to why.

They're quickly running out of time for anything from their '40th Anniversary line' to actually be released in the 40th anniversary year, unless they mean, 40th anniversary of Aliens....

I just want Parker and Brett dammit....

I've just ordered the 1/4 scale anniversary Alien from Amazon. He should be here in a couple of days. Hopefully this will be as good as the ultimate dog Alien. NECA don't fail me!

 

[abake]

Congrats.
Looking forward to pics man!

Randy blocked me on twitter for bugging him about the Greta Gremlin they showed off at Comic Con in 2015 and 2016. That's fine. He didn't want to keep seeing that. Okay. He ALSO blocked my wife (an even bigger Terminator fan that I am) for asking why they weren't fixing the placement of the "torso" on the diecast HK tank prototype while they were promising to correct the position of the head and gun turrets but only after responding to her with something like "Know it all fans don't know ****!" I don't like Hot Toys general lack of communication, but I prefer silence over belligerence.

The more I hear about this guy, the more it seems like he's on a bit of a power trip and should have someone else engaging customers on social media.

I can understand people being blocked if they are trolling - but asking respectful questions shouldn't get you banned.

Sounds like I'd get banned if I joined and tried to bring this to his attention

This. At least it's professional.
