NECA Panther and Night Cougar ALIENS.

NECA have released a pair of images of their new Panther and Night Cougar ALIENS figures on Facebook. Each of these tribute items are inspired by Kenner ALIENS toys of the 1990s; and much like the original releases from quarter of a century ago, each of these new figures features a similar “Magnetic Kamikaze Parasite!” as an inclusion. I love the lurid purple and green color scheme of these items. They replicate and honor the original Kenner releases perfectly. Here’s what NECA have to say about these new big cat themed figures, Here’s the packaging for our Kenner Tribute Night Cougar Alien and Panther Alien which are currently shipping! So, if you want one or have pre-ordered yours already, it’s arriving very soon.
