In the early test screenings of Alien: Romulus, Rain had some of her fingers ripped off in the confrontation with the Offspring. Would have been a cool alternate hand to add to the set.
Wow, did not know that! Thats a good call, Hot Toys sometimes give us deleted scene stuff dont they so this would have made an interesting alternate look for her! 🙌🏻
Same here, and her jacket would've been nice to switch from her look in the first to the second half of the film. I hope there will be some nice third party accessories down the line, but the main piece being this close to 10/10 is amazing to see.
I will be getting this one, absolutely. I think that HT did a great job with the figure all around, but I agree that the hand connector with the seam being so visible is a bit of a bummer. I think I will be able to live with it though.
Yeah it just draws my attention very easily tbh, especially on these sort of photos where they're very close up and hi-res. But yeah we'll be able to cope as the figure still looks awesome! 😃 Thanks for checking out the vid! 🙌🏻
I completely agree with your perspectives on this figure, especially regarding the head sculpt. However, my main concern is that both in real life (actress Cailee Spaeny) and as the character Rain, they have blue/green eyes, not hazel brown. I'm unsure why Hot Toys opted for this design, and I hope they do change it in time. Love your videos as always, please take care!
Oh wow I definitely did not pick up on that detail! Well spotted, and thanks for sharing! And thanks for watching the videos mate, much appreciated!! 🙌🏻
I didn't care about the character so this is an easy pass for me, but the figure looks great and I'm hoping it means we'll see some more human characters from the Alien films in the near future. Some space marine 2.0s would be very welcome.
Definitely want this. I feel like in 5 years they will come up with a solution for the wrists on figures then everyone will want a 2.0 of every figure.
Must admit I thought the material of the t-shirt thing was a bit too thick maybe...? So I know what you mean I think. Sculpt is spot on tho I reckon. Thanks for checking out the vid, and hope you're keeping well mate!! Miss seeing you on the stream btw 👊🏻
Interested in this. Alien is my favourite movie franchise. But I may hold of on pre ordering this. Really liked Romulus and have the Sorches Xeno on PO but you know how it is.. we can’t collect everything 😂
I agree and I'm in two-minds about it again now ngl. I think the Xeno is 100% must-have but yeah this is definitely a nice-to-have, if I have the funds and more importantly the space!! Thanks for watching mate!! 🙌🏻
Yeah a viewer did mention this in one of the comments!! It's great info, and just that level of detail I don't pick up on tbh as I can be quite unobservant! Hopefully someone lets HT know so they can tweak it for the final product!! Thanks for watching and for the comment 🙌🏻
A nice figure ,gorgeous face sculpt😍😍,😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 horrifying wrist peg. Sadly not an iconic figure bit of a also ran can't see why they made her ( unless this is the new Ripley)
I guess if you like the film and want a character to represent the film and you collect, then you would buy it 😀 I think that's where the market is. I mean there's a good chance this won't sell too well as not sure the film is all that popular (yet). Lol at "total geek knob" btw 🤣🤣 Cheers for watching 🙌🏻
Cool. Naru from “Prey” deserves a figure too.
Thats the female figure i was waited for Naru !!
100% YES!! 🙌🏻
Great figure. Normally you would think they would also release Andy too but dont be surprised if they dont like Andor, lol.
Haha very true!! 😅
Come on Hot toys we need the Reissue of Aliens Colonial Marines please 🙏
haha yeah what we all *really* want is the OG Alien/Aliens stuff but Hot Toys are like "You are getting this and you are liking it" 😅
Definitely need the reissue of the colonial marines. Long over due.

Wow, did not know that! Thats a good call, Hot Toys sometimes give us deleted scene stuff dont they so this would have made an interesting alternate look for her! 🙌🏻
It's cool that we're getting her. I hope we get Andy. I will be picking her up.
Glad you're getting her! It could end up being a pretty great line! 🙌🏻
Would have hoped for an alternate head where she looks at least mildly concerned. Otherwise, great!
Same here, and her jacket would've been nice to switch from her look in the first to the second half of the film. I hope there will be some nice third party accessories down the line, but the main piece being this close to 10/10 is amazing to see.
Haha yeah thats a good call! 🙌🏻
Another good point, yeah I'm surprised they didn't include a few switch-outs like the jacket 👍🏻
I’ll hang on for a Ripley from aliens my favourite movie of the 80s
Mate it was so good that film wasn't it. I still remember the first time I saw it 🤯

@@meoldmateaustie9822 Hot Toys is an East Asian company. A lot of people there don’t know there’s any eye colour other than brown. Not making this up.
Oh wow I definitely did not pick up on that detail! Well spotted, and thanks for sharing! And thanks for watching the videos mate, much appreciated!! 🙌🏻
I want Andy & Rook too.
yeeeahh Rook would be sick. And Ash if they go back to Alien at some point, they could do a variant with different accessories or something 🙌🏻
I didn't care about the character so this is an easy pass for me, but the figure looks great and I'm hoping it means we'll see some more human characters from the Alien films in the near future. Some space marine 2.0s would be very welcome.
Yes!! Bring on the Marines!! I want to see the crew of the Nostromo too 🤞🏻 I don't think that will happen tho!
I will pre-order this figure after Sideshow has fulfilled both my Supergirl, Sabine, and Hera figures.
Oh you have some awesome figures incoming!! I'm jel as I dont think I can devote space to that Supergirl figure but I really want it!! 🙌🏻
The small chip in Rain's hand is Andy's Android chip (they eventually swap it out for Rook's chip). Great review as always.
Nice one cheers for the info mate!! I need to rewatch it for sure. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles I went & picked up the dvd. i like to own physical copies & yes, I'm that old 😆
Mate I got the physical copy too! 😅 I don't trust streaming services to keep a consistent library of my favourite IPs so I'm making one myself 👊🏻
@ totally agree. I even have some stuff on VHS. Thankfully my old VHS player still works 🤣
Definitely want this. I feel like in 5 years they will come up with a solution for the wrists on figures then everyone will want a 2.0 of every figure.
Haha yeah thats a slight worry, when they come up with solutions I'll have to rebuy everything again 😨🤣
@TK421Collectibles Haha, yeah that's my worry too!
I'm On the fence about this one. I have the scorched xenomorph PO'd.
Think this will be a great companion piece for your Xeno. But seems very expensive for what it is tbh! I'm in two minds as well tbh! 🙌🏻
@TK421Collectibles I will probably cave in and get it eventually lol
Something about this figure has looked off to me from the jump. The tailoring drapes like a much cheaper figure. I dunno 🤔
Must admit I thought the material of the t-shirt thing was a bit too thick maybe...? So I know what you mean I think. Sculpt is spot on tho I reckon. Thanks for checking out the vid, and hope you're keeping well mate!! Miss seeing you on the stream btw 👊🏻

Surprised no one in here is talking about it, but her eyes should be blue, not brown.

Glad it's not just me with the wrist peg issue 😅 And yeah would have preferred a new Ripley figure, but maybe Rain is the new Ripley like you say! 🙌🏻
Ripley?
Hopefully a reissue or new figure at some point!🤞🏻 I can imagine an Artisan Ripley! 😃🙌🏻
WHO?
Haha, I know what you mean! But it's the new Ripley! Will definitely be interesting to see how this sells. Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻
Planning to get 2 tbh. The spare will either become a Part 2 Ellie custom or a Jessie from Civil War.
Wow yeah thats an awesome idea! 🙌🏻
First!
🙌🏻🥳
Who would even buy garbage like this? You have to be a total geek knob to go in for this silliness. Seriously someone asked for this? LMFAO

To each his own, she's a pretty cool character though and will go great with the Xenomorph which looks absolutely great.
@@fredbrooks7529yes!! This is the reason I’ll likely be picking this one up, gonna look great next to the Xeno 👊🏻🙌🏻
