It’s Facehugger Friday and we all know what that means, right Kiddies?  Right!  NECA revealed on Facebook today images of the packaging for their upcoming 7 inch REEL TOYS 40th Anniversary ALIEN action figures.  Much like their recently released 22 inch figure, these are themed along the same retro package design of the original Kenner ALIEN box as it appeared on toy store shelves in 1979.NECA have also provided us with a shot of their upcoming Brett figure facing the Alien.  Complete with Jones in the background.  I wonder if Jones will be an accessory to the Brett figure as much as he was an accessory to his murder.  Anyway, here’s what NECA have to say about this release of figures, “The Alien 40th Anniversary collection is coming. 3 series of 3 figures each. Some amazing figure debuts! New accessories! Printed facial deco! Special packaging! Limited editions!!”

Sounds good so far. Up to 9 figures in this range? This will be interesting. The boxes indicate Ripley, the Translucent Prototype Alien and Dallas in compression suit. Parker and Brett have already been confirmed so I am wondering who the remaining characters will be? I’m also curious to see how that new printed facial features look. We’ll find out soon enough, I guess. No release date or pricing information is available yet.  Thanks NECA. These do look sweet.
