I'd love an Ash with alternative head

I would like the whole Nostromo crew made by HT. How about a Kane with the chestburster, oh well I can dream I suppose.

The Big Chap didn't have rotting rubber problems, did it?

Not so much that I've seen, though he had some weak rubber tendons around the mouth that gave some issues. Main issue with him was screen accuracy, but that's never been HT's priority with their aliens (including Predators).

Or their endos. I almost dread to see what they come up with for the 1:6 diecast figure.

It's like they used the end scene in T1 (head crush) as reference for the standard head sculpt.

You speak of the narrow head on the 1:4?

Reminds me (again) that I need a new sig image. Every time I slag that figure off I probably have people going -

Seriously though, I'm so pining for a nice high end 1/6 Endoskeleton.

Where that's actually sitting on their 'to do' list is another thing.

A little bit off-topic, but does anybody think that Dr. Henry Jones "Junior!" did any extracurricular, ahem, "archaeological digging," with any of his students?

Getting way off-topic, so...

Spoiler:

It was implied he was a womaniser. In one script a female student was going to kill herself over her relationship with Indy.

Daughters of professors were also on the menu - you know the back story with Marion, don't you?


It was Lucas' idea for Indy to have had an affair with her when she was very young.

The Raiders Story Conference Transcript, January 1978:

Lucas — I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.

Kasdan — And he was forty-two.

Lucas — He hasn't seen her in twelve years. Now she's twenty-two. It's a real strange relationship.

Spielberg — She had better be older than twenty-two.

Lucas — He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve. It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.

Spielberg — And promiscuous. She came onto him.

Lucas — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he...

Spielberg — She has pictures of him.

In Kasdan's script it ended up she was 15 at the time. And as told in the film, she went to Nepal with her father and eventually became a prostitute to pay the bills.

Times sure were different then. ****in' hell. Imagine anyone suggesting such a thing now.

You mean in real life or on film? Profs bang their students all the time.

I think he's referring specifically to the age (especially the first bandied ages of 11 or 12 -- it's kind of funny, the more they discuss the idea, the more the age gets bumped up), not the idea of Professor Jones sleeping w/adult students.

In my head, that is canon.

Age 15 is pretty much canon, as is the prostitution part since she comes right out and says it. One big reason why Lucas had to get them married in KOTCS - to make amends. Sort of like Han shooting second!

Indiana Jones will always be the roguish anti-hero to me.

But how did we get into this? We've neglected poor Ripley!

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

In the original script, Ripley and the rest of the crew of the Nostromo (save for Ash) banged. Banged hard, like orgy hard. Ripley/Dallas, Dallas/Lambert, Lambert/Ripley, etc.

True story.

Dunno about the Alien raping Ripley, biting her head off and impersonating her though.

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

Wait. What?! Marion was a prostitute? Man I have to go back and watch Raiders again. I have never caught that in all the times I've watched it.

Ash's programming wasn't complete in that area...

Oh man, the rolled up magazine. I always thought that was weird (and scary) as ****.
