>From what I've heard, Sigourney/Ripley is back because the Company had
harvested some of her DNA earlier. So, she's not so much Ripley as a Ripley
clone. But not quite a perfect copy -- seems like there is a little bit of
alien DNA mixed in there too. Ooops.
Not sure about WR, unless they need a fully human female to carry the
audience's sympathies?
My favorite thing about the Alien movies -- they are the one line of toys
(my silly obsession) where there are guaranteed to be enough female figures
produced! :) Really. Star Trek does okay, I must say. But look at just
about anything else and either there aren't any females produced at all
(see the "Lost World" toy line) or they are very limited in the ratio to
male figures (see the Mighty Ducks -- they're from outer space and out of a
team of 5, 2 are female. One is athletic, the other is kinda the computer
geek. They only made figures of the athletic one, and I believe she was
packed in a 1:17 ratio.).
