Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Blade, you pretty much nailed it - Ripley is iconic. She's damn iconic! If I had a daughter, I'd have her middle name be Ripley. I just wonder how much of a market Ripley has to say an Iron Man figure, or a Marvel character. Be she's damn iconic man! Not to mention badass!!

You mean Asia, right? Probably about as much as RoboCop and Murphy. :lol
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

This is Ripley, man. We need her. Shaw and young Professor X aren't nearly as iconic as this character. They may take their time with it, but I have hope. Hell of a lot more likely to happen, considering all they've done with her so far, than other announcements they've made (which unfortunately include the 1/4 Predator and Dutch). Hell, I believe it took over two years to get the new Whiplash.

such a hopeful post. You are right we need her

What's going on with this figure and the Prometheus Shaw? I hope they have them at SDCC tomorrow.

She's hanging out with Reynolds GL & the Arkham Joker.

Unless there is a preorder, having it at comic con will mean nothing. It will just mean that they enjoy watching us torture ourselves by holding on to hope that might never pan out...
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

And yet showing the figure at Comic Con could be an indication that they haven't abandoned plans for it. It could even mean (not a guarantee, obviously) that they're planning on finally putting up the preorder.

Was speaking with Action fig fury on twitter and apparently there is no Alien or Predator on display this year.
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

So Ripley will be like Batman Returns... 5 years between announcement and preorder.
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Maybe this is a dumb question ... but I'm really asking ... if they brought her to SDCC last year, would they bring the same figure a second time? I wouldn't think that means they've pulled any plugs. Don't they only show new stuff at the cons? Have they ever shown the same figure two years in a row? It would seem to me not having her there this year is just a matter of space. Display space is precious at these things, so I would think they'd prefer to use it for newer stuff.
