NECA: Alien Movie Franchise Figures

[Viking Spawn]

Hot off the press wire:

ALIEN 35TH ANNIVERSARY
As part of the 35th anniversary celebration of the ground-breaking movie ALIEN, NECA will release the first-ever action figures of main character Ellen Ripley that feature the likeness and approval of actress Sigourney Weaver, who was nominated for an Oscar® and Golden Globe® for ALIENS in 1987. Initial plans include a figure of Ripley in her Nostromo jumpsuit from the original 1979 film, to be followed later by a Ripley figure based on the 1986 movie ALIENS, directed by James Cameron. Prototypes will debut later this summer at San Diego Comic-Con.

The celebration will continue through the year, with a special 35th Anniversary figure appearing in each series of Alien 7" action figures. Visitors to the booth got a rare peek at Series 3, scheduled for July; Series 4 is slated for autumn.

NECA also revealed a spectacular summer treat for fans: two Deluxe 35th Anniversary releases, both completely in scale with the main action figure line. The massive Alien Queen Ultra Deluxe Boxed Action Figure will arrive in July, shortly before the release of the iconic Power Loader exoskeleton, which is famously used by Lt. Ripley to battle the Alien Queen in one of the most thrilling scenes in the 1987 movie.

This series has gone into hyper drive! What fantastic news!!! Ripley, possibly a new Big Chap dio, and the almighty Queen! This made my day!

That'll probably be a repaint in Series 16

Now for the love of god get the alien line into a decent factory please NECA. And switch to whatever method of skin recreation you made Dutch with. Then rerelease Hicks and Hudson that way too to get consistency across the entire line. Don't get Sigourney Weaver's likeness at long last and waste it on flimsy, poorly painted, scratchable plastic. Many of my marines so far came pre-scratched out of the box.

Multiple figures. More than one. Watch HT **** themselves now.

I think this really could turn Hot Toys attention back on the alien franchise now that her likeness is apparently gettable.

Yup, hoping for this as well. But for now, a 7" Ripley will be a more than good enough stopgap!

The massive Alien Queen Ultra Deluxe Boxed Action Figure will arrive in July.

The Ripley announcement is great news but this one still get's me the most excited. I can't wait to see how she turns out.

I wonder if the "Ultra" in "Ultra Deluxe" means a half-Bishop is included. Surely it will be more than just the Queen in deference to Randy's old employer, McF.

Milk it NECA! Milk it. As many movie accurate variations as you can think of please.

LOL Yes and yes!

Since 2009, NECA has just been on fire lately. I mean, they were doing cool things before (I love that original 1/4 Robocop from way back), but they're just KILLING it now. I'd like to think it started with that Terminator 2 line. They started that trend and have been hitting home runs since then. It seems like every year there's a new surprise, or a new license. Every Toy Fair has been a real treat.

If they could just get their customer service figured out and find a way to make their products a little better/less fragile and breakable, they'd be perfect.

Could be. I wonder if the Queen and the Powerloader will both have some kind of stand/interlocking base thing going on with the accessories.

 

[marisinacc]

I would not mind a 1/4 ALIEN Ripley at all!

 

[a-dev]

The Queen and Ripley in Powerloader in the same scale at long last.

I agree 100%

Hell they even did ED 2 figures and those came out great!

Man Toyfair 2009 was just amazing. Multiple T2 T-800's. Good times.
