Today is Facehugger Friday. Sure, we haven’t heard from NECA for a while but as we found out a few days ago, NECA intended to reveal one of two upcoming Kenner ALIENS tribute figures. Which they have indeed followed through and done so today. One of the next items in their continuing range of revitalised and updated Kenner action figures is the Panther Alien; which NECA publicly announced on their Facebook page today. Not a lot of details accompany the reveal except NECA’s brief statement, “The Alien Invasion continues…“. …and that’s it. There’s no information regarding the availability or pricing of this item just yet. One obvious question is raised by fans familiar with the original Kenner release, though. Will there be a black NECA variant figure to mimic the Night Cougar figure which was also released way back in the mid 1990s? Knowing NECA do like to churn out “repaints”, I am guessing this will happen.
