Why are some here talking like we'll never get a Ripley figure in this line? Is there a rights issue I'm unaware of? Mattel just released a figure of Sigourney Weaver's "Dana Barrett" in their Ghostbusters line this past summer, so obviously she's willing to let toy companies use her likeness for action figures. Or does Mattel hold exclusive rights to that likeness, regardless of which Weaver character it is? I'd really love to see NECA do a Ripley with power loader now that they are going forward with human characters from the Aliens movies. In fact, I want the whole squadron of marines along with Bishop, Burke, Newt, and Ripley. It would be a shame to get just Hicks and Hudson and nobody else. That's as bad as when Macfarlane ONLY made Hicks a few years back. It got my hopes up for more Colonial Marines, and they never followed through on that.
