I assume because they know later variants will have a lot more exposed skin.

Still think NECA should finally be the first company to do a real Ripley. no guns. I'm totally fine with that. I don't see why Sigourney wouldn't be either.

She doesn't need weps, she should just come with a Power Loader or little Newt figure.
^Is there any reason we can't get an answer on why the above scenarios aren't possible? Its suggested so often and by so many that one has to think at least someone at NECA or Hot Toys has thought of it too.
I said this before, she says that toys Should Not have guns,
fine, that's okay, but I don't understand why toy companies like NECA just do a Ripley toy with no guns and call it a day. I just don't get it.

the line needs more different types of "alien" from games and comics and yea even kenner ones xD rather then being flooded with human characters. i got maybe 7 different ones but im not the type that likes to buy "army bulders" so my aliens are looking small for a swam compared to my predators.
I would say human characters are a long time coming rather than suggest that the line is being ''flooded'' by them. All we've ever gotten before this is Aliens, the McFarlane Hicks excepted. Its only about time we got marines and Dutch from Predator.
the line isnt going to be flooded? if there really is 3 different types of hicks and hudson's that right there means they put out more humans then aliens not counting if they add more character space marines ok they kick *** but when neca gets done with them people would want human characters based on the other alien films instead of letting the line stay more alien based is all im saying. i mean the thing with ripley ok sigourney weaver doesnt want to do an action figure why push it any further.
OK but in the broader context of figures from the Alien films since the McFarlane days at least theres been sweet F all human figures. I for one am not going to complain now that they are happening. To do so kinda sets up a ''damned if they do damned if they don't'' scenario.
NECA will never have any hesitation in putting out aliens. We're lucky right now to be getting humans.
tbh humans dont really sale well as a creature type chatacters in alien / predator type franchises, i mean when u think aliens the first thing u think about is the alien not the space marine same with predator. however if it was a human themed movie yea ofcourse they would sale say like rocky, rambo. though i know if neca made expendables figures people would also be buying them , just had to put that out there.
I've made the same observation in the past and its something that has annoyed me. Firstly until now I don't think human characters in these franchises have been given a fair shot. Its not like we're talking guys in suits here. They're soldiers with big guns and one of them is even Arnold Schwarzennegger (Predator, obviously) - usually that sells.
Secondly it just annoys me in principle that there was ever a reluctance to do these exciting human characters just because they happen to share the screen with monsters when you consider the relatively boring human characters that other lines from crappy fad-movies get.
I dont want this to sound rude or like I am attacking you, but I couldnt disagree more. Perhaps your right, and maybe I am in the minority, but I absolutely think "Colonial Marines" when I think Aliens.
Further, as I said earlier, I have a shelves full of aliens. FULL OF THEM. Between the 6 movies (including AvP ones) and between McFarlane, Neca, Aoshima and any number of other less popular company build multiples of each, there are dozens and DOZENS of aliens. I have only one bum marine!
F'n A right.
well thats kinda a point too a person more likely buy more then one type of alien while as a human they would only buy one not counting those who buy for resell.
if your not talking about "suits" here how would ripley fit in? i know once she / if she gets made people will start asking for a newt figure and that would lead to a wanted burke and so on and so on see where im going?, and i kinda agree the space marines are epic and would make cool figures but as far as humans that would be enough.
Well Ripley is probably the most famous female in science fiction and is the main character in the Alien films. I dunno, seems kinda important that she be made at some point. Not trying to be sarcastic with you when I say that.
im thrilled that neca is producing some quality human figures from the alien universe (prometheus/aliens). Also, the aliens line is not focusing more on humans than the aliens. As of right now, they have 5 alien variants planned from aliens (brown, blue, black, brown BD, Blue BD). Hicks and hudson are going to have an additional head each (helmet plus different expression) packaged w the B.D. alien packs this summer. Yes, they are hoping to produce more colonial marines if the line is a success, but as others have stated, i think thats a boon for the fans! NECA also wants to produce eggs and facehuggers later on down the line...plus the queen (around xmas time). Id say the Aliens line is looking quite balanced. I, for one, am stoked! Hoping for vasquez and drake w smart guns!

I can garuntee you that there will be at least 1 xeno per Alien wave from now until the end of time. It's unlikely humans will ever match the aliens in figure count in Neca's run alone, ignoring previous incarnations. The marines have brought brand new xenos, battle damaged xenos and an upcoming queen along with them. You really have nothing to worry about.
