NECA: Alien Movie Franchise Figures

[Jace Madan]

The fin broke off the back of my black alien. Or maybe it just got unglued... looks like glue should fix it.

I once thought if I switched to collecting plastic instead of statues I would have less breakage but I was wrong. I hardly pose them but I still get stuff that arrives broken or breaks too easily.

If you are talking about the large back spine directly under the head, that is supposed to be easily removeable so you can tilt the Aliens head back into crawling poses.

Randy said on twitter that starting with series 3 they are moving to a new, better factory so hopefully the issues with breakages will go away.

So Series 2 might still be bad? That's troubling, I'm really looking forward to the Big Chap.

What factory made Dutch Gawdammit? Aliens line needs to come out of that one.

 

[Lord Freezer]

Can't wait to see the Kane figure in spacesuit, hoping for the reveal at Toy Fair. Maybe some Space Jockey news as well.

'79 Alien in packaging, Series 2 finally arrives next month!!

Is the head front different? ...seems more inclined.

 

[BuGz]

It looks like the old one. I dunno. I need to se it out of the packaging.

Yeah so what was the mod the NECA did to the 2nd release of the Big Chap please?

Thanks.

Supposedly re-sculpted head
(and of course new articulated body that all the 'Aliens' critters got)

Thank you bigbisont for the info.

 

[Sabres21768]

The hands are also a different sculpt.

I'll definitely be getting multiples of this one.

 

[abake]

Awesome to see this ready!
The front of the dome certainly looks fixed, and we know Kyle re-sculpted the mouth.
Can't wait to have this one.

Thanks. Now that you mention that it sounds familiar. Good thing I'm not quick on the glue

The elbow joint looks the same... not as the warrior from Aliens.

Definitely looks like the new double elbow joint...

I still cannot believe that NECA are using the term Xenomorph. It's the Alien, it's always been the Alien, it doesn't have a name, it has never ever been named. Xenomorph was a generic term used by Gorman for a nondescript alien threat. Somehow it's been latched onto by internet ignoramus', and been absorbed into the film's lexicon where it simply has no place.

Rant off

Oh, and merry Christmas everyone!

(The figure looks awesome by the way)

 

[Rotfish]

Mouth area looks... pretty off, not going to lie. Kyle can knock the Alien Warrior out of the park, but he hasn't yet hit a homerun on the Big Chap. Major horse-face.

I also hate the 'Big Chap' name. It was never called that in the film and if it was it could have lessened the intimidation factor of the creature. It was a silly nickname given by the real world film crew, it shouldn't be put on toy packaging.

Yeah I haven't been wholly convinced by what I've seen of the new '79 Alien so far.

New dome reminds me of this pic:

ALIEN or GIGER'S ALIEN

I hope that the head has been changed and that is not an effect of the pack:

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Any word on the queen and/or dog Xenomorphs?

Since, you know, that name is exclusive to them.

 

[nekromantik]

I still think the medicom 79 alien is under rated!

Merry Xmas btw everyone!
