NECA's 18" ALIEN

[abake]

Yeah, the idea is to try and place the swivel/cut joints in the least obtrusive place so as to not break up the sculpt too much, which is the major drawback of those cut joints when placed mid-thigh or mid-biceps... just like in McFarlane's case.

Absolutely. I still hate those, and am trying to work around them on my custom ALIEN.

Where is this 18" NECA one already selling? Any links???

AVPgalaxy is supposed to have some high-res images of this figure, somebody a member there who can post them here?

(Some high-res Wolf images are great to)

It won't be out until May. It doesn't look like anyone has it up for pre-order yet.

NECA stuff is usually pretty easy to find if you are anywhere close to a FYE, Spencers or Suncoast (if any are still open around you). I never had much trouble finding NECA figures in person as opposed to buying on-line.

And really for the price, I think I'll have to get him... even if I don't have a great spot for him to go.

Ya, Hot Topic is another story that carries NECA, though I haven't seen it in person, but Spencer's tends to carry the 18 inchers. You can just wait and check one of those places online, you don't even have to go to a comic shop site to get these. That's one good thing about NECA and McFarlane, fairly easy availability.

All of the toy retailer we usually buy off from the net would carry him

Cornerstore Comics has it up for pre-order for $33.99.

I'm with GB, I'm just going to walk into the store and pick this up, I know I'll be able to, no sense paying shipping on it.

 

[Reinhardt]

awesome pics, a haul for sure!!!

so have we determined what kind of joints the hip joints are??

 

[Jamal]

If the knee joints are strong it will be mine

They're just regular swivel joints.

 

[Reinhardt]

thanks Abake.

i just hope this guy is able to stand on his own... his feet look very small.

 

[PsychoCenobite]

Will NECA make an non-posable statue version?

Looks good!

Id be down with a non poseable! kinda like a resin piece but plastic

glue the joints.

 

[MaulFan]

I'm sure the joints will be pretty sturdy, and the right combination of leg and tail posing will create a solid tripod setup for it to stay standing.

 

[Sachiel]

WOW.

7" version coming also.

 

[plasmid303]

Looks great, though I kinda wish he was a bit shorter, like 16 inches, so he could fit in as a temporary buddy for my Hot Toys Alien figures. HT will inevitably do their own Alien, but who knows when that'll turn up.

 

[Les Walker]

WOW.

7" version coming also.

I got one comin! CANNOT WAIT NOW!
