NECA: Alien Movie Franchise Figures

[a-dev]

That would rule and Aliens is the best movie ever. That McFarlane Hicks was one of the worst that company ever put out. Very sad figure. Fans need an accurate Queen for sure.

I hated the pose and the arms were unnatural but I liked the detail of it. Underrated likeness too IMO.

I'd seriously buy a NECA Dog and Queen at any scale right now!! Everything else can wait, lol

Tankman do not be mysterious! Tell us if there are pleasant sorpese in 2012!!! XD

 

[nekromantik]

We need a NECA Queen thats around 12" tall!

There has always been a sense of disappointment with the dogs alien in figure form. I think the main reason is because there is actually two separate creature designs (Man in suit design and CG dog design). Neca (if made) can stay loyal to the dog alien and sculpt him as the “man in suit”. But then many would be disappointment because it would not be the sleek “on all four” CG version. And vice versa.

Just my two cents.

Doggy was puppet, not CG.

I believe the only CG in the movie is the Doggy's head cracking at the end.

I'd prefer it to be like the SS Doggy Maquette..the 1/3 scale one.

You beat me to the punch, thanks for setting the record straight on this one.

A Ripley from Aliens would be awesome... too bad Sigourney would probably never approve.

Hah, a chase variant - splattered with android blood.

There were definitely some shots of him that reeked of post-production editing. Take a look at when he's on the ceiling, or crawling down in front of that one prisoner who sacrificed himself to lure the creature into the storage tank. There's also the more-famous scene where Ripley hides behind that medical table after Clemens' death and the Alien rises up in front of her before the close-up shot of its tongue.

Either it was CG or it was puppetry (possibly stop-motion) that was then digitally added in. I'm a big fan of the "man in a suit" look myself. If they could combine the bulk of the suit body with the overall animalistic shape of the legs, we'd have absolute figure perfection.

A3 has some really bad CGI. The dog alien running on the walls looks laughable.

I personally would like to have the Dog on all fours (Doggy style) but, I would definitely buy both versions (man in suit), if they ever made them.

It's only bad CGI because it's not CGI.
It's a rod puppet optically inserted into the film.

This is the dog alien:

This is a man in costume:

must respect the proportions of the dummy...

I need to rewatch the making of.

Really??? I never thought that was the case.

I have the box set, so yeah - maybe I need to check the making of too!

Hot Toys did a good job based on those pictures above. It is the only HT alien I own. Not interested in owning another.

Dog alien of HT is the best among all of their products (Alien franchise).
only flaw: the spur of the tail is too thin

 

[ArrowMech83]

The only downsides with my dog alien were, that there was no stand included to keep the figure from falling over all the time - so I had to borrow one from another figure.

That, plus the left arm broke very easily, but I managed to cut the rubber open and do some surgery on the internal skeleton. Luckily the rubber sews up nicely, and leaves hardly any trace. Now it's just like new.

Still one of my fave Xeno figures though.

Really? For me, the main flaw is the same one all of them have: the mouth sculpt. The profile view is just weird and the teeth are completely inaccurate.

If we could get this, but with the dog-like legs, it'd be an insta-buy. No hesitation whatsoever.

 

[Lord Freezer]

you're right. I forgot the teeth!
