NECA: Alien Movie Franchise Figures

[greygoose]

Which would be fine. Just release them like that if that's what it takes

And release a gun set as a separate pack.

 

[BuGz]

It would be great if neca released a two pack of "lucky star" Ripley and the Alien with the grappling gun as her weapon. Surely Weaver would approve that? Right?

And release a gun set as a separate pack.

Now we're talking!

 

[Zodach]

Most probs, she's very anti-guns so any figure of Ripley will be gunless.

Flame thrower is not technically a gun, right?

 

[greygoose]

Flame thrower is not technically a gun, right?

It's a weapon that kills people.

 

[That_Alien_Guy]

@greygoose; it's a weapon that kills xenos

 

[nekromantik]

I was looking forward to seeing the Queen but because of sad circumstances we wont see her so now im looking forward to seeing Dog Alien!

 

[PharOOO]

Toy Fair starts tomorrow, right?

Toy Fair starts tomorrow, right?

No, it starts on Sunday.

 

[ocielz]

No, it starts on Sunday.

Damn! I thought it was this whole weekend

 

[G-M53]

Ripley in Powerloader would kick my a$$ up my @ss.

 

[KoBE]

Damn! I thought it was this whole weekend

It wraps on Wednesday.

I'm guessing at least one reveal will be a "Final Battle" Hicks: same as the other two Hicks figures but with a headset attached to the screaming sculpt rather than a helmet. Maybe we'll also see an "Ultimate Badass" Hudson, since NECA seems to like releasing him and Hicks in tandem.

 

[Viking Spawn]

Gentle Giant is hinting at a Ripley offering for TF. As such, I'm calling it, NECA will show off Ripley this weekend too. That's my prediction.

While I would actually welcome a "$h1+ eating grin" confident hudson (it would at least be a new head sculpt and I have always been most obsessed with pre-S-hits-the-fan/ready to rock Marines), if they release a Hicks where the only change is a racal instead of a helmet, it will be the first Marine I don't buy at all. Forget multiples, which so far I have been buying. That would be an even lower, record breaking level of half-@$$ery and I'd have to find some way to formally protest...

As God intended.

They're gonna do it; there's no other reason for the two-pack's headsculpt to have that "war face" and a groove in his hair exactly where a headset would sit, but maybe they'll release it in a set with a pair of sentry guns to justify releasing the same figure three times.

Anyway... everyone's talking about Ripley, but I'd like to hope we see at least one new Marine as well; maybe Crowe, since they have the sleeved arms but not use of Al Matthews' likeness, apparently, and Frost would require different forearms.

 

[That_Alien_Guy]

Regarding a Drake; could we instead of an war face head sculpt count on at battle damaged one? Wouldn't that be pretty cool?
I'm thinking one Drake w/ normal face expr. and with smart gun and one battle damaged w/ flame thrower.

 

[a-dev]

Would be down for that. I used to love the Kenner Drake figure despite the total lack of resemblance to the actor - it actually had a weapon that resembled the smart gun at least.

 

[BugStomper]

Well they have said there are 4 humans coming from Alien, Mercs from Alien 3 and pursuing other Marine likenesses along with Bishop so I see no reason for more Hudson/Hicks figures outside of the up coming Hudson vs. pack just yet. All for human characters but no interest in essentially the same figure over and over. Can’t imagine it doing the longevity of the line any favours either.

Good news is they have replied to a tweet saying quarter scale marines are a possibility after they have released the Aliens. I’m hoping their comment ment Alien(s)

 

[sgt.reese]

I wonder who the 4 humans are considering that they may not be considering Ash a "human"
- Dallas in Nostromo suit (confirmed)
- Kane (chestburster scene)
- Parker
- Dallas in Captain clothing

but...... they probably consider Ash a human character and you never know... they might have gotten Weaver on board.. I also think Drake will be the next marine made with an Acid splashed Hicks or Dark Horse scarred Hicks from the awesome comics.
