Oh sure, the real thing had those "grabbing claws" and all, but imagine if Ripley had been given a few "alienator missiles" as well. Silly as it is, the Power Loader is great. Aside from the fact that very few kids "ages 4 and up" would have seen the film Aliens, it's got all of the right ingredients that make up a good sci-fi toy.
It's bright yellow, has robot-like arms, and fires missiles. What more could a kid want? Well... aside from a pilot that can actually hold the controls.
Not to say that the Ripley figure is terrible, because she has her positive points. But a "New Wave" haircut doesn't make up for the fact that it looks just about nothing like the character from the film.

But again, who really cares? It's easily assumed that no kid would have a clue about the details of the film, and the thing they'd be judging the figure by would be the size of its crazy flamethrower weapon.
If your using that as a gage, then you'd have to call this one of the greatest action figures ever made.
