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

I'm not bothered about self-lacing although if they can pull it off, it'll be amazing, (and expensive). There was no way i was going to shell out for the proper Nike Mags a few years back ($5000 plus) but i did buy a few pairs of the Chinese made knock-offs. I made them screen accurate by adding EL panels to the soles and straps and reducing the height of the toebox for a cleaner look.

Aren't they re-releasing these shoes next year with working laces? Not like I'll be able to afford them or anything anyway. I wouldn't be shocked if somebody in the NBA is rocking them for a game.

Mind if I ask where u got the knock offs? I'd be interested in a pair. Thanks!
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

So is the body on Ripley a new HT seamless one?

Or are they using the same one that was on the Resident Evil seamless type? I don't see why they'd use that one because the legs had limited articulation, wouldn't make sense
Jury's still out - I've been bringing it up too.

So far, the lower arms seem like they could be the exposed jointed type; the wrists don't look like the rubber armed ones to me.

I prefer Alien to Aliens, but the Aliens Ripley looks a bit better.

No offense.. but you've gotta be joking. :lol

Well yes, it's an opinion, but clearly it is the wrong one.

That's not how opinions work.
Every opinion is the correct one for the person who's opinion it is.


What are you - the cavalry? :lol

Just a little voice of reason on a sunday morning.

Except in this case - where the opinion is clearly wrong.

It's Sunday night in Oz, and that's piss-take hour for us.

Once again missing the point of opinion.

"That meal was delicious"
Regardless of your opinion on said meal, the meal could have been delicious.

So can it be with the Ripley head. Someone other than you might have the OPINION that it's a better sculpt.
That isn't an attack on your opinion, nor does it in any way have to change your opinion.
Try not to be insulted by something as trivial as an opinion.

So are you saying that by definition it must be sunday night in the UK too? Or is my opinion on that wrong too?

:wink1:

No, no, the voice of reason is still effective in the UK at this hour. You'll thaw out in a few hours no doubt.

My opinion is that this opinion is correct, and will remain correct unless I change my opinion.

:lecture

And that's a fact :lecture

I so very much like this. I hope you don't mind if I borrow it for a while. With the proper credit of course.

I have already.
It's amazing the difference an hour makes. An hour on Sunday is worth ten normal hours, lol.
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

lamentably no.
I am still working for the next five hours.
And I think it was 2012 the last time I drank alcohol.
I keep meaning to have a drink. But I am always busy, lol.

The Scots work on Sunday? What is becoming of this world...
 
Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS)

Well maybe not everyone does.
But i do. Only about three and three quarters of an hour to go.
Then i have to pack up my HT collection. We are moving house next week.

Good luck on the move. I hate moving out, but I love moving in... it's like everything old is new again :)

Thanks. It's an exciting time, as we have been in the current house for fifteen years(We moved in here just after Episode I was in theatres, lol), so i am looking forward to it.
I have also designed a new display cabinet, and i am talking through the plans with a local timber frame home designer(It's just a simple upgrade to the detolf design).
If it all works out, i will share the specs with everyone.
