Alien Day Kenner Themed Ripley Full Reveal and Info - The Toyark - News

Very nostalgia inducing. I don't think I'll get one since I have the movie version of Aliens Ripley and getting this one too would be space and money that could go to something I want more instead. Cool to see the smart-gun accessory here and I'm guessing the Vasquez figure's will have the armature and rig but Ripley doesn't since the Kenner Ripley's gun didn't attach to her back.
I thought they just were repainting the movie ones in the colors not actually making new molds.
I remember when I was younger I had the figures before I had seen any of the movies I was wondering why nothing looked like the toys when I seen the movies.
So awesome. I'll definitely be picking one up. NECA really knows how to make toys feel fun. Love it.
So will this figure not be a part of the Vasquez and Newt wave? I was hoping it would so it would be easy to acquire.
Fun, but can live without it.
If I didn't know there was a big Kenner Aliens follow-up happening I'd avoid this figure.
I was hoping for slightly more than a re-paint (unless I'm missing something). Somehow I'd have preferred it if they'd gone with the facial features of the original figure or something, but then I imagine they want it to correlate with the updated Kenner Aliens.
Truth be told, I think the Ellen Ripley figures are amongst the weakest in the Alien line. Even the Amanda Ripley figure has more facial personality.
It'll also likely be a bugger to get hold of in the UK without paying silly prices, presumably?
Alien Day - Kenner Style Aliens Ripley Available at Toys R Us - The Toyark - News
Not to be a downer, but the availability of all this Alien Day stuff, with the exception of the Kenner style Ripley, has been very confusing. Lots of merch announced but not many details on how to actually get your hands on them. Plus, the original announcement really made it seem like NECA Vasquez and Newt would be available, but now they're apparently just a tease for a future wave? This whole thing seems poorly planned and executed.
It's a pity that this is an US exclusive. Neither TRU or GoHastings will ship outside the US to Canada.
Looks WAAYY too much like my country's president when she was part of a communist guerrilla back on cold war days. The mold already looked like her, but the red shirt just makes everything worse.
Definitely not touching it.
Had it in my cart, but TRU.com won't let me checkout. Now it's gone.
According to Randy, Star Images in the UK will have Kenner Ripley soon.
Found today at my local Hastings. They had 10 in store. $21.99 plus 30% off in-store only on all Alien figures.

Of note. It says 34.99$ if you search for NECA Ripley on the main gohastings.com
, but if you click the item page it says 21.99$.
