Present Toys - PT60 - Flight Officer Aliens Ripley

[HMC117]

Got invoice from kghobby

Looks pretty good imo! I missed out on this one because I thought the proto looked pretty bad but this is definitely serviceable. Is this even up for sale anymore? I checked Gian and Kit, nada.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Looks pretty bad to me: busty body, giant zippers on pockets, cheap unfitted t-shirt, bendy arms from 2010 that will dry and crack in under 3 years, terrible paint on the facehugger with the red knuckles like something from ToyBiz... overall, for $210 on a pretty bare bones figure, it should be a lot better. A lot.

KG Hobby still has her for pre-order:

I have a feeling more Ripleys are on the way, so best to wait it out.

 

[a-dev]

Nope. Just not doing it for me.

 

[OmarColeccionador]

I don't know.

She seems to have lost the heavy weathering from her shirt, and the strands of hair over her forehead are now a simplified single clump.

Agree the sculpted hair looks a lot more simplified than the prototype and the head in general looks a little bit to big for the body, a real shame since I was really looking forward to this Ripley

Already paid my invoice , just cause I want to check it in person but probably gonna sell her


Kaneda from present it's already out?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Present Toys is very uneven... seems to have different "groups" (like HT) that make the figures -- there's an "A" group that makes good figures like the Boardwalk Empire ones and then there's the C Group that makes figures like this.

I'm sure presales also impacts how much energy and effort PT assigns to a project.

 

[Pianoteam]

At least we are getting something here. Hopefully PT can produce a first ever Newt and follow in pursuit with the USCM marines! Ideally we need a company to create licensed human characters.

I have been tempted by this, but I think the success of Romulus will hopefully tempt Hot Toys to do a new Ripley from Aliens. Just imagine if they invested in a Newt too and a base with eggs. I have no doubt it would be huge success for them. These films: Alien, Aliens, T1, T2 and Predator are iconic for a reason.

They already have the Power Loader prototype - it would be a no brainer - release her with and without the powerloader. A two-pack with Newt would be a great option too!

EDIT: The face sculpt looks very similar on the PT release to the HT 2.0 prototype - I wonder if PT obtained it somehow?

 

[OneSixFix]

unfortunatly a miss for this release. I got the BD Terminator and was really suprised how good it turned out, but this? for over $200 , nahh ...sorry. Let's hope for HT to get back to this franchise asap.

 

[MarkKing]

This to me looks light years better than the Hot Toys Ripley in the spacesuit.

Maybe I'm alone...here. I'm in...

 

[MarkKing]

Good improvement but for that price it should be much better. That hair is atrocious, the base needs a quality grating pattern and the egg/facehugger are essentially copies of that awful original mold - zero improvement. The boots and pants are really the only upgrades here. The body seems comparable to many others and HTs old weapons seem better.

The hair isn't hot toys and the zippers do seem big...

 

[Pianoteam]

Another point to add - Present Toys forgot the jump suit top and Seiko watch! These additions and the leather jacket would have been better than focusing on the cheap base, facehugger and alien egg. Hopefully we can see a second version similar to HT that includes these acccessories!

 

[Pianoteam]

Agreed, the hair and zippers are 2008 quality. The zippers shouldn't bulge out of those edges and need to be blue (not black) with pull tabs at the ends!

 

[HyperDrive]

I’ll #waitforina- oh, sorry, freaking Hot Toys.

Good theory

That would explain a lot

Unfortunately if they don't have something to recast it's very unlikely

That's true but perhaps it may have been leaked or simply based on HT's sculpt since most of their figures are. I wouldn't be surprised if they are not very familiar with the movie.

Wow is this a known fact? Companies prioritize effort on popularity but this would take it to another level. Cult Classics will always be popular and in today's day and age higher quality is valued most (i.e., Inart). They should be made at a high level or offered at a much lower price if we are receiving such disastrous quality. Without the suboptimal egg/base/facehugger it could have run much closer to a reasonable 150 USD and allowed more resources to further improve the figure.
