Ripley 12" custom figure

(as always click the images for larger versions)


This will be getting sent out to its new owner soon, so I snapped a few pics before it gets packed away.

It's obviously the Hot Toys Ripley figure (with additional leather jacket). I've paint-weathered the jacket, and the guns/scanners etc. Extended the legs by about a centimetre (she was too short), and replaced with original head with my resculpted version. Painted by me, of course.

Hopefully this will go down well.... I think it looks great!

Thanks guys, you're so generous with your compliments. It means a lot. I love this piece... I'm really happy to be sending it out to somebody, I know he'll love it. (and I'm glad it's finally done... this has been on my 'to finish' list for a long time!)

As for the jacket, I don't know where it comes from... it was sent by the customer. I just painted some weathering on it. Sorry.

(and Tarman.. i've got one ready and waiting for you, just let me know when ;) )
