NECA: Alien Movie Franchise Figures

When does Lambert start shipping?

Do a lot of you guys still use detolfs for NECA 7-10 inch figures? I'd been meaning to ask that.

I've got 4. They do look smart as a wall of units. And as Staps1138 said, they are good for the price. Although in hindsight I do sometimes wish I had longer shelves to display groups of figures, without the breaks between them, between each unit.

It's worth investing in some kind of tiered risers/steps in order to best display many figures. You can just about fit a Queen in shelf, but you'd never do a Powerloader dueling scene, unless you had them tightly grapling, or piled like the airlock.

Also worth mentioning I guess, because I haven't seen this mentioned much online, is that the glass in Detolfs has changed in recent years. It's thinner, "for economy of weight and materials" but also slightly darker, not badly so, but just noticeable against an original one, as one of mine is.

I'd take a picture, but I'm still trying to get it all set up to my liking, it's unrefined currently.

When does Lambert start shipping?

Dunno, but my Alien Day Vasquez arrived yesterday. So hopefully not too much longer now.

Wave 11 isn't up on NECA's calendar yet, whereas the Prometheus wave (shipping later this week) and the Covenant wave (shipping early July) are already posted. That'll be two ALIEN related waves hitting shelves pretty close to one another. I'd expect Lambert's wave to ship at least a couple weeks after Covenant to avoid xeno overload at retail, but, well, who knows. For future reference, you can check NECA's shipping calendar here: https://necaonline.com/events/

That's interesting. They are 5 mm thick on the walls and 4 mm on the shelves on mine. What are the sizes on the newer ones?

Thanks! I do have two detolfs for my HT figures. I used to have some NECA figures but I gave them away. I pre-ordered the Covenant NECA line though so I may get back into them. Where did you get the stairs? I have seen those in pictures.

Sounds like you have newer ones. My older one measures about 6mm on the walls and 5mm on the shelves.

They're easy to find online, eBay, Amazon, many kinds, usually made of acrylic. I actually use clear plastic rice and yogurt pots myself, cheap way of doing it, and recycling too.

I bought them in 2008.

Why do you suppose Neca isn't releasing Hallaway with the Prometheus Lost Wave? They gave us Vickers with the flame thrower, we could recreate the scene of her setting him a blaze.

 

[a-dev]

Did they make a prototype of him?

Yeah they did, with the infection in full bloom.

Dunno then.

Probably figure he's the least interesting/toyetic. We are lucky we got what we did! Although, he would be a perfect accompaniment to Vickers for that scene, I agree.

Very exciting, i just hope there's at least some new stuff mixed in and not just re-hashes. I think Neca's got some stuff up their sleeves we didn't see coming. At least thats my hope.

Please be a Queen egg sac.

 

[JokersWarPig]

I'd welcome an egg sack, that's probably my second most wanted item behind Drake and before Goreman.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

I just received my Queen reissue from calendars. Really cool figure. They did a wonderful job with her.

 

[a-dev]

Those are shipping from BBTS now aswell. The Queen is definitely one of NECA's finest works.

 

[theuzi9mm]

Mine just shipped as well. Gonna go on top of my deltof!

 

[TooNiche]

Congrats on your incoming Queens!

Definitely a triumph. I reckon if I had to give up everything but one, it'd be the Queen I kept.

Only thing could top it would be a "nesting" Queen/egg sack set.

'Look who's coming back in the Ultimate format with added articulation, accessories & more. Full details next week. #facehuggerfriday'

 

[TooNiche]

Sweet! Let the hive grow!

These will be my "hero" warriors.

Wonder if any of the accesssories will be new.
