About HT ripley??

[Darth_Thorpe]

Hi guys

Just woundering if anyone has spotted this. the HT ripley does anyone know if there is any 12" female bodys out there that are the same size as the male ones coz the one that comes with her is far to short!! im sure sigourney is as tall compared to the others, in the movie?

any help on this would be great thanks

The only one I'm aware of taller than the HT is the upcoming DC Direct body (first figure with it is Catwoman), but I think it will be waaaay too tall.

If the height thing bugs you, my suggestion would be to see if you can kitbash longer legs onto her existing body. The HT female body is a thing of true beauty.

Les used a Cy-Girls Jacquelyn.

Les used a Cy-Girls Jacquelyn.
I thought that Jacquelyn was from 21st Century Toys The Villains line (they caused quite a fuss a few years back with their Masked Terrorist and Mad Bomber figures a few years back). I think the Cy Girls/BBI Perfect Body figures are slightly shorter than the HT body.

Forgive me if I'm wrong here.

Could be. Not sure. Not into girl dollies. All I know it was a Jacquelyn.

Best course, elongate the HT Rip lower legs, add heel lift...

Listen to Pjam. He is wise.

Listen to Pjam. He is wise.

Wise because I listened to Les and he did this for mine. :lol

Hmmm...that is a good idea. Getting a taller body for Ripley. Sigourney Weaver is a tall woman. I may get longer legs for my Ripley. I didn't really think about that. Yeah, the HT female bodies are nice. But, Ripley would look more accurate if she is taller like Sigourney is. I'll look into doing that for my Ripley too.

cool stuff, thanks guys ill find try and find some long legs that will fit

Why not just add a section to the existing figures legs? It's simple enough as long as you measure accurately and use a good razor saw . All you'll need is a pair of donor legs of a similar size . This is what I'm considering doing with my Ripley as the lack of height is quite obvious when she is displayed with the rest of the Marines .
