NECA 40th Anniversary Ripley
 

Alien - 40th Anniversary Ellen Ripley Preview from NECA

https://news.toyark.com/wp-content/u...review-001.jpg

I have the same problem with this that I had with the original Evil Dead 2 Ash release; We really need a second headsculpt so the figure isn't perpetually looking shocked/ scared. Even just a face with a determined look would be fine, I don't need a gritted teeth or screaming expression!

Ditto. I was hoping for another head.

When Neca first teased the unpainted figure on Twitter, the headsculpt had a closed mouth. She may come with two heads or they are going to do like Ash (Evil Dead 2) and have a regular release followed by a later Ultimate one.

Well with Ash it at least makes sense since "shocked" is his his go-to expression for a lot of the movie.

Yeahhh but it's nice to have the option haha

Ash?
When was he previewed?

As for Ripley's expression, yeah, it's not the best one...

Tomax/Vamp, I swear if that's you... :D

Nah, NECA has made several Ash Williams so far in different outfits haha

Ash as in the Evil Dead character, not Ian Holm's character from Alien.

Edit: Black Arbor beat me to it.

Oh, sorry...
Thanks for clearing that up!

In hindsight we should have seen the confusion coming.

I thought NECA was making her in 1/4 scale. I assume Toy Fair will shine a light on it if it will happen.

Looks damn good...I've said it before and I'll say it again...I love being a turtle...I mean, NECA scuplts a great figure.
I always prefer a face with expression. A second head goes a long way though.

Hmmmmmmmmm, not sure I need to get that Ripley since there's not too much different about her compared to the older one that I have unopened.

Jonsey looks stoned!

They both do!

To be fair, if you found yourself before an 8 foot tall alien creature with a mouth on its tongue, I think you would believe you are stoned too. :-)

You have a point. ;)

It's a shame they didn't give her double jointed elbows so she could hold that flamethrower better. That would have given people a real good reason to pick her up.
