Word from the NECA Fan Event from this past weekend in New Jersey carries the good news that NECA’s next Kenner tribute figure will be the 1993 Rhino Alien.  This news is also accompanied by details the figure will be larger than the usual 7 inch ALIEN items NECA have released to date.  While not as big as their Queen Alien, it will probably scale well with other figures in that range.  Here’s the original 4 inch toy made by Kenner, late last Century.

Also rumored to be in the works is a new ALIEN corridor diorama piece with working lights and is anticipated to be released next year.  On top of that,  comes the welcome News the long awaited Batman vs Joker Alien 2 pack is still heading our way.

While this is all rumor right now, it comes directly from the event itself and may be as accurate as it can get – so now we just wait for official announcements on these items.  I would like to thank Joshua Ambrosius and Eric Christian Magee for the alert on these potentially upcoming items.

A large scale Rhino Alien figure?  Fantastic!  I have to admit it’s an exciting prospect and if NECA do decide to make a Bull Alien, I am hoping it too will be a larger than standard figure that scales well with the other NECA ALIEN stuff.  I’ll be posting more News regarding these NECA items as it becomes available.

It’s ‘Facehugger Friday’ and we all know what that means…  NECA have released images of their upcoming Deluxe Newborn Action Figure on Facebook.  The figure is based on the creature that appears at the end of the Jean-Pierre Jeonot directed 1996 movie, ALIEN Resurrection.The larger than usual 11 inch tall  figure looks to be packaged in a gatefolded windowed box and is expected to become available sometime next month.  Here’s what NECA have to say about it:  “The final packaging photos of the Newborn Alien from Alien: Resurrection are here! You can expect the Newborn to start shipping out to retailers in late July.”

Here’s some more images of the external packaging.

It’s Facehugger Friday and NECA have released some images of packaging for their upcoming ALIEN 3 Creature Pack.  This selection features the Juvenile Queen Alien had it been born, the Queen Facehugger and the juvenile Dog Alien (aka Bambi Burster).  Also present in the package is Murphy’s rottweiler, Spike.  Spike also features an alternate accessory head with scarring from his unfortunate off screen encounter with the Queen Facehugger.  Very tasty stuff.  Woof!

Here’s what NECA have to say about this soon to be released item “Happy #FacehuggerFriday! Here are the final packaging photos for our #Alien 3 Creature Pack, releasing in July.”  What a great looking pack and it’s great to see ALIEN 3 continuing to get some love from NECA.  Here’s a couple more images for you to drool over like a proper Dog Alien would.

Finally we have more details about the much anticipated ALIEN Club-X exclusive purple Alien action figure.  ToyArk have posted a gallery of images and review of the item.

Along with the gallery of images, ToyArk also have this to say regarding its imminent availability “The figure has been delayed all through 2018. But I am happy to share some great news with fans who have been waiting for an update. By this Monday, June 10th, the Purple Alien Warrior will begin shipping to customers! ” 

So if you are a member of Club-X promotional exercise and pre-ordered one of these lovely lady killer Aliens, it should be shipping very soon.

It looks like this year’s San Diego Comic Con (18-21 July) will be graced with NECA’s exclusive SUPERMAN vs ALIENS action figures.  Bloody Disgusting has some great images of Krypton’s favourite son beating up on a dastardly space bug.  All the comic book action you could ever want featuring the world’s greatest superhero and the galaxy’s most notorious space monster!

There’s a bunch of more images over at Bloody Disgusting.  I suggest you go check ’em out.  NECA has other SDCC exclusives as well including a meaty looking PREDATOR vs BATMAN 2 pack.

What’s more, it looks that BATMAN vs JOKER ALIEN that we saw being promoted a couple of years back and fell off the radar for a while looks like it will finally surface after all.  That’s not surprising really, considering this SUPERMAN vs ALIENS 2 pack is not just confirmed but it’s release is happening, around 6 weeks away.  Fantastic!

According to a post on Facebook, NECA’s fantastic powerloader vehicle will be returning to stockists.

Here’s what NECA have to say about this vehicle’s imminent return, “Back By Popular Demand – The ALIENS – Deluxe Vehicle – Power Loader P-5000 will be making its way back to stores in July 2019! Visit the NECA website for more information.”

I never did the chance to grab one of these.  I may do so this second time around.

The good stuff is finally beginning to reveal itself!  NECA have posted this image of their upcoming 7 inch figure of Brett via Twitter. No pricing or actual release date but NECA did have this to say “Special #AlienDay reveal! Brett makes his figure debut as part of our 40th Anniversary Collection available later this year.”

Brett will be joining Parker later this year. No doubt more information will be forthcoming shortly.  I wonder what his accessories will be?  Cattle prod..?  Net..?  Interchangeable head with lethal gaping wound in the forehead..?  All of these, please, NECA.

NECA have provided some images of the packaging for their upcoming ALIENS vs PREDATOR Arcade human character figures.  Dutch and Linn’s box art looks great and features a window in the front of the box.

Here’s what NECA have to say: “The long awaited Alien vs Predator Arcade Dutch & Linn 2-pack is coming! Here are the final packaging photos before they ship out to retailers on May 14th”.

It may be surprising these items weren’t being revealed tomorrow, tomorrow being ALIEN Day.  Facehugger Friday and ALIEN Day on the same day? NECA have other plans, you can bet.  Here, a few more images of this pair, ready to take on Predators and Aliens:

NECA  want to know what your favourite ALIEN figure is.  The company has been busy and provided us with a good assortment of action figures based on movies, comics and other speculative sources. Around 90, the last time I counted.  They will publish the results of the vote on ALIEN Day, April 26.

There’s 24 items on the ballot.  Choose 3. 

Here’s what NECA have to say about this year’s vote, “To keep the list simple we are going to take last years Top 10 and add to that other releases since April 2018. And as there has not been many new releases in the past 12months we’ve thrown in some high scoring wildcards from previous years. You can choose three figures and that will generate our 2019 Top 10 which we will reveal on Alien Day itself.”

My votes went to the Dog Alien, Covenant Alien and the Hadley’s Hope concept piece.

I’ve seen  rumors spreading across some social media regarding the recent release of NECA’s purple ALIEN figure.  While this would be very welcome News indeed, sadly, it’s probably not true.  NECA have made no announcements regarding this item.

If you were a member of the NECA Club x Alien 2017 membership program, then you were eligible to pre-order the exclusive 9 inch Purple Alien Warrior!  Unfortunately, the figure has kind of gotten lost in action figure limbo and NECA have said very little about it during the past 12 months.

No doubt the circumstances surrounding the long overdue figure not manifesting has been taken advantage of by someone this past April Fool’s Day.

To my knowledge, this ALIENS item is still aimlessly floating around, lost in deep space.  We are still waiting for more information regarding it’s arrival.

So, no.  It has not been released.

NECA have posted information on their website for their upcoming ALIEN Resurrection Queen figure.  Looks largely like a recasting of their earlier iteration of the Queen from a couple years back; but the addition of this figure to their soon to be released ALIEN: Resurrection line is most welcome.

Here is what NECA have to say about HRH: “She stands over 15″ tall and is over 30″ long, with over 30 points of articulation, including a spectacular posable tail. Bring some of the movie’s most thrilling scenes to life in realistic detail, because the Queen is completely in scale with NECA’s 7″ Alien action figure line.

Includes a display stand and two different interchangeable inner mouths.” More information on this upcoming figure can be found on NECA’s announcement.

Over at Toyark, a gallery of over 70 images have been posted of NECA’s recently released ALIENS Series 13 figures dedicated to Kenner items of the 1990s’.  There’s also a review of each of the 3 items comprising this set, Sgt. Apone, the Scorpion Alien and the Snake Alien.

These figures have been publicly released and now available from your dealer of choice.

From accounts I’ve been hearing from people already receiving theirs in the mail, this series of tribute figures by NECA has been meet with a generally favourable response.  I’d say it is a safe bet that Scorpion Alien is going to be a popular item.  The original kenner figure it’s based on was a big hit in its day, back in 1992.

In lieu of any Facehugger Friday announcements – largely attributable to the New York Toy Fair – NECA have belatedly provided some images of their upcoming range of 1990s inspired retro themed ‘Alien and Predator Classics’ action figures.  Reminiscent of Kenner toys of the period, these items look to include action features and accessories accompanying the highly stylised imitations.  First Alien to be released is ALIEN: Covenant’s Neomorph.  An odd but welcome choice.

Here’s what NECA have to say about these items to be released at the end of the year “These sturdy 5.5” figures evoke a simpler time when action figures were tossed in the bucket to go to the beach, or left strewn across the stairs for parents to trip over. The debut figures in the line are Berserker Predator, which has a removable mask, and Neomorph Alien, which comes with a baby Neomorph.”

Shipping date is anticipated to be Q3 2019.  No pricing information is available yet. More information can be found this Facebook post and here’s a small gallery of images.

ALIEN’s 40th Anniversary is definitely gaining traction with this this announcement.  Well, for fans of action figures, anyway.  Toyark have posted a gallery of images showing off some of NECA’s upcoming figures spotted at this year’s New York Toy Fair.

Included among the images of Predators, Kenner tribute items and ALIEN Resurrection figures can be found some images of Parker, the ship’s engineer from ALIEN.

This is the first time Parker has been represented in the 7 inch scale by NECA and boy, is he a welcome sight.

No pricing details are available just yet but a tentative released date of “Q3 and Q4” as described on the display card accompanying the figure seen at NYTF 2019 is expected.  For now, just go enjoy Toyark’s gallery of assorted monstrosities.

NECA’s website now displays product information along with over a dozen images featuring their upcoming ALIEN Resurrection Newborn action figure.This brute looks enormous!  Here’s what NECA has to say about this ‘abomination’, “The Newborn action figure stands approximately 11” tall and includes a display stand. The Newborn features a screen-accurate sculpt and almost 30 points of articulation. This deluxe figure comes in display-friendly window box packaging with opening flap.”

The weekly Facehugger Friday reveal has come and gone and with it NECA have been kind enough to share this new image of a pair figures appearing in their upcoming range of AvP arcade game inspired items.

Here we see Lt. Linn Kurosawa facing off against a Razor Claws Alien. Personally, I think she’s poorly attired for the task of slicing up acid bleeding space monsters but the recently dispatched figure in the background may be testimony to something else entirely. This image appeared on Twitter and is NECA’s accompanying comment, “It’s on!!! #facehuggerfriday” It may not be much, but we know they’re on their way.

These are expected to be released sometime soon. More information on these figures can be found Here.

More images have been made available to the public by NECA of their upcoming ALIEN Series 14 action figures. Today’s Facehugger Friday post on Facebook included over 20 images of Ripley 8 and Alien Warriors from the ALIEN: Resurrection set of figures.

While the Newborn figure that is part of this set is not included in these images, here’s what NECA have to say about both of these items “Ellen Ripley Clone 8 stands approximately 7” tall, has over 25 points of articulation and features the likeness of Sigourney Weaver. She wears the clone’s futuristic ensemble and comes with Draco Double Burner and Lacrima 99 Shockrifle accessories, plus interchangeable hands and a basketball. The Resurrection Warrior stands over 9” tall and is faithful to the Alien’s appearance in the movie. It features over 30 points of articulation, including a tail assembly which provides an additional swivel as well as having a bendable portion.” More information can be found on the NECA Facebook page.

These items will be sold individually in clamshell packaging and be available sometime in Q2 2019. More images after the break.
