In any case, this is definitely a figure I'm going to wait to see some in-hand pics of before I order.

This is definitely a figure I'm going to wait to see an upward trending in the exchange rate before I order

BTW technically you're wrong - i never felt anything bad about DX10/13

There's plenty wrong with those sculpts but this aint the time or place.

BTW technically you're wrong - i never felt anything bad about DX10/13, Robocop intact/BD, Predator 2 (old variant with repaint), AVP predator (well the last one simply was better than the movie because movie mask sucked )

Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop the presses!

you interpreted my post wrong.
let me explain.

Finally, a sculpt you're happy with.

ok back to Ripley! i forgot to mention that i cancelled (trying to cancel) 3zero TMNT to get Ripley and new alien2 instead. more space, more money left, more classic designs on a shelf.

Looking at the pictures I still prefer the Ripley sculpt before this one (the second rooted hair one) for whatever reason, but I think it's time to talk about the real issue here:

Have any of the Hot Toys sculptors ever actually seen a cat before?

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

nope the rooted hair sculpt didn't look like Ripley. it looked like some italo disco singer.

They're consumed mainly as soup in Korea, so maybe they just photographed the first terrified one they found in the restaurant kitchen?

It's a personal preference thing, not an objective assessment. Besides, we're talking about the plastic cat homunculus now

I was going to say something about outdated Asian stereotypes, but decided to google 'Korean cat soup' first out of curiosity.

Well that ruined my day
