High-end Japanese statue manufacturer Prime 1 Studio, under its "Ultimate Premium Masterline" series, officially unveiled its latest collaboration with renowned Korean collectibles brand Blitzway yesterday (the 6th): the "Ellen Ripley" 1/4 Scale Ultimate Premium Masterline Statue Bonus Version, based on the sci-fi classic "Aliens"! Shipping is estimated for Q3 2023.
After releasing a wealth of Xenomorph statues and wall art installations based on the *Alien* film series and Dark Horse Comics, P1S has finally introduced its first human character, and of course, it had to be the iconic, tough-as-nails protagonist, Ripley! Standing approximately 55.7 cm tall, this piece captures Ripley's cautious forward advance, fully equipped with her M41A Pulse Rifle and M240 Flamethrower. The head sculpt not only conveys her intense tension when facing the formidable predators but also features realistic sweat beads, significantly enhancing the sense of immersion.
The uniform, backpack, and ammunition straps are crafted from real fabric, and even the zipper on her trousers is functional. However, the absolute highlight has to be her red and white high-top sneakers, meticulously weathered for a hyper-realistic look – pure awesomeness! The diorama base, inspired by the interiors of the LV-426 colony, evokes the film's seemingly endless, labyrinthine facilities, complete with melted flooring, alarm signs, and an emergency activation button, all rich in cinematic detail.
▼ The bonus item is a Facehugger emerging from an Alien egg, ready to strike – utterly disgusting!
