Hot Toys is giving Aliens fans one hell of a collectible with its new Ellen Ripley and Power Loader 1/6 scale release. Aliens remains one of the most awesome sci-fi/horror movies ever made, and Ellen Ripley is still one of my all-time favorite movie characters.
Her showdown with the Alien Queen is legendary, with Ripley climbing into the Caterpillar P-5000 Work Loader and turning the industrial machine into a giant mechanical exoskeleton. It’s the perfect Aliens moment to recreate for collectors and Hot Toys Power Loader looks badass.
Hot Toys collectors expect an insane level of detail, and the Ellen Ripley and Power Loader set delivers exactly what you’d want from this scene. The fully articulated Power Loader stands an imposing 20 inches tall, giving it the size and presence it needs alongside Ripley.
The Ripley figure comes with multiple interchangeable hands and a display stand, while the Power Loader is packed with functional features and detailed mechanical elements that capture the look of the movie machine. Put the two together and you’ve basically got one of Aliens’ greatest scenes ready to display.
Pre-orders for the Aliens – Power Loader 1/6 Scale Collectible are now live through Sideshow Collectibles. The Power Loader on its own is priced at $405, while the set featuring Ellen Ripley and the Power Loader comes in at $555.
That’s definitely serious collector territory, but damn, this thing looks cool. If there’s an Aliens display piece built to command attention in a collection, Ripley suited up in the Power Loader and ready to throw down with the Alien Queen is pretty hard to beat.
Aliens – 1/6th Scale Power Loader Collectible
Originally engineered for industrial cargo handling, the Caterpillar P-5000 Work Loader became the ultimate weapon when Ellen Ripley suited up to protect Newt in an unforgettable duel against the Alien Queen.
