WIP Ripley - Lucky Star

[Adrian Cowdry]

I may have missed something - did you take the Helmet from Hot Toys?

Yes, the figure doesn't come with a helmet. If you search on e bay you can find a number of sellers who seem to break up 1/6 action figure sets and sell the parts separately, I was lucky enough to find someone just selling the helmet from the Hot Toys Kane figure a while ago and bought it specifically in anticipation of this build (I also have the full Hot Toys figure but didn't want to break it up just for the helmet). If I hadn't found the helmet on e bay I would most likely have taken a cast from the Kane helmet I have. I think the helmet sets the figure off nicely and fills out the base a bit more.

The helmet really does add to overall result. I shall start searching. By the way Polar Lights are bringing out a Kane figure. 1/9 scale in resin.

Yeah I think the Polar Lights kit is the one of Kane bending over the egg just before the facehugger attacks him. Could be good!!!!
John, looking forward to your next project
