Charlize Theron as Meredith Vickers from "Prometheus" would be a GREAT action figure

Prometheus is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. Set in the late 21st century, the story centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as they follow a star map discovered among the remnants of several ancient Earth civilizations. Led to a distant world and an advanced civilization, the crew seeks the origins of humanity, but instead discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human race.

From playing the evil queen Ravenna in "Snow White and the Huntsman" (a 2012 British/American fantasy film based on the German fairy tale "Snow White" by the Brothers Grimm which was just released recently) to a employee working for Weyland Corporation in the just released "Prometheus" film (2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, originally intended as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science fiction horror film Alien but is now a separate story that precedes the story of Alien but is not directly connected to that franchise), Charlize Theron has been rather busy.


What I would really like to see is a 1/6th scale Charlize Theron as Meredith Vickers 12-inch female figure wearing the really cool looking space suit from the movie ;p The sleek looking space suit coupled with that fabulous looking determined face would make an awesome display piece indeed. Now let us see if Hot Toys will be embarking on this any time soon.




Interestingly, the suit Charlize wore for the magazine photo shoot in the pictures above which appeared in the May 2012 issue of Entertainment Weekly differs slightly from the screen grabs I got from the internet. Especially glaring is the absence of the bright orange strips which have disappeared.


Here's a screen grab of the other members of the cast of "Prometheus" (from left to right): Logan Marshall-Green as Charlie Holloway (archeologist and Shaw's love interest), Noomi Rapace as Elizabeth Shaw (archaeologist), Michael Fassbender as David (android)

Besides the cool costumes / space suits in sci-fi films, there are also the equally cool-looking vehicles such as the USCSS Prometheus itself and the RT01 Transport :) Scroll down to see them
