According to Neca's twitter page they are using a new factory for Series 3, apparently the first series and genocide were great (??) but they cut corners on some of series 2 and the hicks two pack.
Erm weren't the genocide figs plagued by the super glued crotches? Pretty sure the entire line has been a qc nightmare
This has probably been asked and answered by those in the know, but not having seen it while glancing thru the thread: the section of Nostromo corridor we saw used in NECA's toy display, is that actually planned to be a released thing? Or is it just something they cobbled together for display?
my genocide 2 pack is perfect. However the 79 Alien knee joint was stuck. I think it is due to the paint. Neca assembled the figure before the paint dried fully.
As for Alien queen, any indication of how big it is going to be? bigger or smaller compared to Mcfarlane's?
It was a commissioned piece for their display only.
Curses! Ta for the info.

Super cool dio and collection. Love the dio. I have a dio from him it's good solid work
That is an awesome dio
During Sigourney Weaver's panel to close out the Calgary Expo she was asked specifically about finally granting her likeness rights to an action figure and the approval process. It was an interesting answer. I'll try to find hard quotes when i get home (still at airport) but the way I took it was that she admitted she didnt "get it". It never occurred to her in the early stages that she was in a full blown franchise with demand for such things. It was never important to her but now that she has seen the "art" that these figures have evolved into and has felt the demand she did feel like it was the right time. I believe her about not quite being plugged in because she ended the answer by saying she hopes her figure has "different outfits like barbie". So, eh. The point is she is on board! She came across as a very cool woman. I think any negative rep she has gotten is due to her "handlers".
making a variety of human characters aswell for a change
Bishop, Kane (albeit without likeness), Dallas, Alien 3 Mercs. Granted that's spread over 3 films. I feel optimistic though that they'll do more marines, maybe not Apone due to issues with Al Matthews but Vasquez and Drake at least. Gorman would be nice too but yeah I'm not sure I see him happening.
I'd love to be able to build that whole Aliens cast photo - the one with Ripley standing in the middle, hands on hips and all the marines, Bishop and Burke around her - but I don't expect they'll go so far.
