ReAction Alien Ripley

 Ripley


Ellen Louise Ripley was one of the first real horror movie female heroines she is the lead character in the alien movie, if we dont count the alien itself.


The retro blister card packaging from the Funko and Super 7 ReAction Ripley figure in the Alien line.

 These are retro adult collectables not toys.



Ripley has five points of articulation and looks like a decent figure.


The face on my figure is alright but the eyes are painted poorly, it looks like she is rolling her eyes or is going cross eyed, very derpy. There is also a section of hair painted in skin tones, though the hair is molded excellently.



Its a decent enough likeness.



She stands almost 4 inches tall.



I like the Ripley mold, its good to see a non exaggerated female body.


Her uniform is very nicely detailed.



She is feminine without being ludicrous. 



I really like the shoes, you can see the laces and all.



She comes with one accessory a flamethrower, that fits in her right hand nicely.



Ripley looks good with the Alien.




Look behind you Ripley!



She had the strange sensation she was being followed.



Aliens going to take Ripley home to meet mummy.

Acid splatter Alien

Awesome Alien 

 



 

 

This alien is from the awesome Alien franchise with 3 cool movies and a butt-load of comics. This particular figure is a SDCC exclusive.


The figure has a nice acid blood splatter window box and is a SDCC exclusive limited to 1008 pieces.


Look for the Funko exclusive sticker. 





We see Acid splatter Alien with his normal Alien counterpart in the pictures above. The exclusive figure is on the left.


Here we have a close up of the acidic blood splatter.



He also has some on his face.




And a little bit more on the back of his shoulder.




Here we see Daryl playing with the Aliens.

30 Alien



 A   L   I   E   N



Alien is an award winning 1979 science fiction horror film.
Alien spawned novels, comic books, video games, and toys, as well as the movies Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, Alien vs. Predator  and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.
Work began on an Alien prequel in 2009, which devolved into the disappointing 2012 Prometheus.






 Alien is the 30th figure in the movies line of Funko pops. The artist H. R. Giger designed the Xenomorphs. 





 


The figure is an adorable cute version of the space horror.







The bulbous head is a nice shinny black, the mouth has the secondary jaws extended ready to give kisses.






The figure is incredibly detailed as i hope these photos will demonstrate, though i will note that i thought for some time that the figure has no articulation,however the head does turn, mine was very stiff, do not turn completely around though.







Here you can see the Xenomorphs back pipes, the detail really is astounding on this figure.







The Aliens torso hand and feet are excellent, its arms are spread ready to give Xenomorphy hugs.







While i do agree it could have been longer, the tail is very well detailed and ready to penetrate the heart with its cuteness.







For size comparison we have Exclusive Blood Splatter Bicycle Girl and Leonidas.





Here Alien stands with some other horror figures from the movie range. From left to right we have Freddy Kruege,   Alien, Leatherface, Michael Myers and  Jason Voorhees.


Alien and Master chief reenact a favoured scene of theirs.

Preview: Alien Vs Predator






Aliens Vs Predator

Whereas previously we only had concept art from the 2013 Funko Vinyl Pop catalogue, now we have pictures of the actual figures. Stores are already taking pre-orders so don't miss out.




Number 30 in the Movies Funko pop line is Alien and it looks like it is from the movie Alien. It looks awesome.
For a full review with photos click here.

For exclusives click here.


 
 Number 31 is the very cool Predator figure. A must have for any fans of the Predator movie. Want to see an exclusive?


 They have come a long way since there concept art and i think they look much better in real vinyl.



Both figures will probably have the 17+ symbol, but this is because of the movie they are from rather than the actual figure.

Release Date:

Pre-orders are up for May 2013 So i would expect them to attack around then. The official release date is May 16th!
