Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

The plastic Jonsey is WAY too small. He was a fairly big cat; not a good sculpt of him either.
Other than that, Ripley is looking 80%... I hope that comes up to 95% when released.

Agreed cat sculpt pretty average- looks smallish to fit in that cat carrier I'll bet.

Hey, they can reuse it and paint it for Returns Catwoman!

Would have loved to have bumped naughties with her back then. Of course she would have been thrown in jail.
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

Is it just me or do the two Ripley prototypes appear identical in the face? There should be a difference, considering the seven-year gap between Alien and Aliens.

Hair looks fine, but the sculpt needs work. Doesn't the sign read, "Pending the approval of Ms. Sigourney Weaver," or something like that? I hope she says, "Oh, hell no!"
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

Well maybe you are right as it would involve 2 head and two different outfits, but in the past they would have bundled them together like joker dx1 or even expendables Barney Ross one head sure but still two separate out fits. I think that is what made Luke dx a steal even though you were getting they same outfit only one was battle damaged its was still loaded with stuff and at $ 300 I think it was a fair price.

Now they are using gimmicks like the Captain America winter solider set in order to get the no helmeted sculpt you would need to get the set which sucks because you cant use the helmeted sculpt on civilian rogers it does not belong so you still can not really benefit from both sculpts.

Same with batman armory want a Bruce Wayne head sculpt you got to get the whole set and even then you can use it because it has to stay on the suit Bruce,

Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

I'm VERY happy to see this figure, mainly for the custom-tailored Nostromo jumpsuit. I will definitely buy parts from figure breakdowns and put together my own version after this comes out.
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien

perm? may shave off my pubes to re-enforce that hairdo.

Man, I really want a sweet 79 Ripley.

There's a lot to improve on this HT release, & probably a fair wait between now & ship time, so the final piece might have the better jointed body, a tighter hairdo, & a stronger likeness. I can only hope anyway.

Otherwise..

That looks better.
strange but it really does. though it's really not A1 figure as mouth on that one is shut.

fans of A2 Ripley are lucky i guess. fans of A1 - no chance yet.
