Ellen Ripley’s daughter made an appearance at the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con as NECA revealed two completed 7″ Amanda Ripley action figures as seen in the terrifying “Alien: Isolation” video game.
The assortment includes two versions of Amanda (one in a jumpsuit and one in a spacesuit) and the Isolation Xenomorph. Amanda Ripley (Jumpsuit) comes with motion detector, flamethrower and backpack accessories. Amanda Ripley (Torrens Spacesuit) features a removable helmet and comes with a handgun accessory. The Isolation Xenomorph features a bendable tail.
Figures range from 7” to 10” tall. Each is highly articulated and entirely authentic to the video game.
As explained by Wiki, “A deleted scene from Aliens, which was later included on DVD releases, reveals that Ellen Ripley has a daughter, Amanda. She was ten years old during the events of Alien, but grew up, married (taking on the surname McClaren) and died during her mother’s 57-year stasis between the events of the first two films. A picture of Amanda as an older adult is shown to Ripley. The picture is actually Sigourney Weaver’s real-life mother, Elizabeth Inglis.”
