NECA: Alien Movie Franchise Figures

[Darth Con]

So i opened my Aliens set on the weekend.
I was going to get a 2nd Hudson from my retailer till they told me all the Hudsons pretty much have the cross eyed syndrome.

I have to say the sculpts and paint are fairly ok, but the one thing which is really bugging me are the warped legs and rubbery plastic.
The marines feet/ankle articulation is very loose, and my xenomorph warrior has a very very badly warped left leg and loose ankles and feet, its quite a challenge to get him to stand up, everytime i walk into my man cave, theres that damned xenomorph lying flat on the ground from falling off the shelf.
Have tried the hair dryer trick, and for the most part fixed the warped legs on the marines, but the alien isnt quite working out, too flimsy?

All i know is the ALIEN from the first film from neca is far superior in terms of sculpt 'strength'.

Since we already know the new Giger Alien is sculpted and ready to go this fall, this must mean they are making humans from ALIEN! I would love a Kane or Dallas in the EVA suit.

Oh man. My hopes are rising. Just having a suited up figure of the Nostromo team would be so exciting...

instead of **** you NECA, it sounds more like **** you crows. You're just not going to have the best marines available at any price? you're choice, of course.

I just hate when they force you to buy something. Like you have no choice. Is not even about the price but the fact that the helmets should have come included with the first figures but NECA keeps milking the cow until the cow dies.

To be fair, you do have a choice. No one's forcing you to buy anything.

They should theoretically be able to make Ripley and put her in the power loader. No guns on that thing, and it would sell like ****ing hotcakes...buttery, syrupy ones.

I don't see how you came to that conclusion from that tweet.

I do. As he said we already know about the new 79 Alien on the way. Thusly what other 'figures' could he be talking about? Added to that there was already a hint about Kane and Dallas as CP pointed out.

NECA's a lot more **** you worthy then Crows is. But these marines are nice. Thankfully.

well yeah, That's why I don't have Dutch. But I don't mind that. The Marines are different. How hard is it to add a Helmet?

I mean, If NECA did this with every single figure, you would have figures that came without part of their outfit.

Why include any accessories at all when they can keep milking the line more and more? Why add Guns to the Dutch figure if they could just release it again with guns? Or Terminator for that matter? They could get way more money if they released figures without guns or parts of their outfit and releasing them again with them.

just to be clear, I wasn't saying **** you to crows. I was suggesting that, despite his words, his actions indicate that he is ****ing himself rather than neca (ie: depriving himself of the best figures of their kind at any price). ...just qualifying my previous post...

naughty naughty.

Yes, you do have a point. I should just buy the two packs and have extra Aliens.

 

[DanceGavinDance]

So they're making a new Giger Alien as in with the translucent head? Do we know if it's 7" or 1/4 scale?

I admit that the series 1 Alien was a bit lack-luster for me...always liked the see through head better, just cooler imo so it'd be nice to get one to go along with the new 7" figs

 

[DanceGavinDance]

also, I'm hopeful for more human characters with legit likenesses. I mean, look how long it took to get Dutch in the Preds line, and now they're milkin' em like crazy (love them all though!) It's safe to say that the interest in the Predator line spiked due to his release, and I'm sure NECA's aware of this and the demand for more Marines.

I want this line to go on for a while; I can't really expect them to make every Marine and secondary character right away...it's just not realistic, they gotta build it up a bit first I think. I also think eventually we will get there; being patient sucks but it usually pays off.

ahem, That being said, I want a Jones the Cat pack-in at some point.

 

[Vitus]

That would be cool to get the cat with the giger alien. For now I'm using the Aoshima jonesy.

 

[joeyjoe]

@dancegavindance: the new Giger Alien (Series 2) will be done in 7 inch. Having said that, I think its highly likely that one or both of the new aliens will eventually get done in .25 scale. Bring on more 7 inch marines (from the film)!!!

I'd buy them. Would beat the hell out of my plush facehugger toy that currently climbs the shelves in my basement. Also would destroy those aweful millionth generation overpriced recast crap kits on ebay.

Depending on the price, I'd be down. Their other replica prop puppets turned out okay enough, I just wouldn't want them to deteriorate too much over time.

 

[zuckuss77]

I would buy them for the funny pictures i could make.A chest burster coming out of my dog would be funny--picture that is

I read on the Twit about the possibility of an Alien Space Jockey dio. Hope it happens!
