NECA: Alien Movie Franchise Figures

[jye4ever]

no interest at all in 1/1 alien egg, was hoping for drake and vasqse marines.

But at 1/4 scale!

 

[KoBE]

Geez, over $400 plus another $100+ for shipping for the 1/1 egg. Foam rots quickly?

 

[clutch]

I might give $20 for it.

No thanks.

I have to say, I must withdraw my "I'm in" declaration. That is a "collector grade" price point on a "fun" grade item.

NECA, wake me up when you have smart gunners and/or more marine likenesses.

Yeah, I was pretty shocked when I saw the price. I understand that it's a limited edition thing, that it is big, and that it does have massive production costs associated with it, but for me, a total of almost $500 when everything is said and done is too much.

Heck, I remember when it was available for order, Sideshow's Stan Winston life-size Polystone and fiberglass Warrior Alien bust was $999 + shipping. While I'm sure the egg will be nice, I don't think it's worth almost half of the retail cost of a collector and museum quality item like the bust.

“Is he ********' crazy?”

I don’t know who the target audience for that Egg is. A lot of the Neca fans you see on Twitter etc. will be priced out and high end collectors aren’t looking for a life-sized Neca figure.

If they want to start pushing into say Sideshow territory I’d be right there waving money around but they have to do a lot better than this.

The Sideshow AvP Egg was 499! Prices increase and the Facehugger was missing but still that was worth the price.

$500 for a NECA product.

Don't think this is gonna work for you NECA. Stick to your usual scales. I think a large item like the Queen's Ovipositor or dead Spacejockey in his chair (in scale with the existing figures) would do better than this life sized toy egg will.

 

[BugStomper]

I just hope the life-sized Chestburster that was talked about is just the Chestburster. I don’t need a mutilated torso.

Most will just parade around the house with it poking out their shirt. Taking a few goofy selfies and then handing it over to girlfriends, wives, whatever…


If they release the Hugger on its own at some point I will still buy that though.

Hear, hear!

Hear, hear!

Amen to that

So production costs are high enough to necessitate a $500 price tag on this impractically sized, niche item -- yet they won't funnel a few more dollars into the production of their 7" or 19" figures to up the quality and sell them for slightly more?

How many great business ideas have been shot down by Randy because they would cost too much to make and he didn't think enough people would pay that kind of money? This is a glorified lawn decoration with a half-assed lightbulb thrown in for half a grand.

...wow, so much anger. Is anybody forcing you to sirens $500 on this? If you don't like it that's cool, but maybe there's people out there that might want to buy it anyway? You act as if they owed you something and should do as you please. Smile dude!

I really want to like NECA, but there quality control continuously disappoints me. This thing looks like something Rubie's would make and sell around Halloween. The price is just nuts.

Well said.

BBTS just doubled the price for shipping, so now FedEX Ground will cost $200+ to ship!

"Hello

Thank you for preordering the NEC12774 Aliens Life Size Egg Facehugger Foam & Latex Prop Replica from BigBadToyStore!

We want you to enjoy this amazing item but after reviewing new information provided regarding the carton size, they will be a much larger size than we had anticipated based on the original information provided by NECA when we listed it for preorder. Knowing this item would be over-sized, we did state in the listing that shipping weight would be calculated using the dimensions of the package and not the physical weight of the item. However, because the boxes are going to be much bigger than anticipated (carton will be approximately 26 x 26 x 34 inches), the ship cost is projected to be at least double what we quoted when you preordered this cool item. We apologize for this and appreciate your understanding.

If you would prefer to cancel your preorder we certainly understand, but we truly hope that everyone will still want the Aliens Life Size Egg Facehugger Foam & Latex Prop Replica! If you do decide to cancel your preorder, you can do so by simply clicking the blue 'View Preorders' tab in your BBTS account and then update the quantity for this item to zero.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience of this change and thank you for your continued business."

When I try to place an order for it, the price for the item is $439.99 and the only shipping option available is FedEx for $105.74, but it even says "The shipping fee is based on the estimated weight and dimensional weight of the product." so it could be more when it actually ships.

At even a minimum of a total of $545.73, that is way too much. I'd rather order 22 hard plastic Alien figures for that much.

On a side note, with this and the upcoming Klingon bat'leth, I'm wondering if we may see foam life-size Predator Masks in the future...
