NECA has now revealed the first images and details on their upcoming Alien Queen action figure set for release this October. The figure is over 15″ tall and 30″ long and features over 30 points of articulation, including a poseable tail. It also includes a display stand and two different interchangeable inner mouths.
Thanks to Blacklabel for the news.

I know the Genocide Alien is old but I still like it though.

Ill wait before I decide. Looks underwhelming. But this does signify that kenner alien line is about to start. THAT is exciting.
Also for old times sake.

Someone asked on Twitter when we'd get Res figures. They said maybe next year.

I really can't wait for these! I can only imagine how awesome their Bull and Snake Alien will looK!
Nah, you got it wrong. Everyone who's anyone wears trousers with the waistband pulled up past their navel.
Maybe the painted one will make it less apparent? Or maybe it's just a blister pack for the prototype?
Yes, they have confirmed on their Twitter that they are planning them.

they're scaled
the set should be hitting NECA ebay store(theNECAstore) soon after, if not before series 5 hits, late summer
its still unclear if the set will be hitting mass retail or be an online exclusive like their PRED skull pack was in 2013
the POWER LOADER is also due out late summer (preorders are already up on many online retailers)

funny
your story reminded me... of me back in 93 when i first saw the KENNER QUEEN in TOYS R US and said the same thing
sure glad we were both proven wrong
nice pickup on the 3 XENOs
I still remember back in 2006 (can't believe its been almost ten years) when I first saw the Mcfarlane Queen along with the other figures at a local toy store. I bought her on the stop, and remember thinking at the time that no way could they ever make a better toy her.
If only my 16 year old self could see the NECA version...
I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Maybe it's the size of the city. I think there is 2 stores I can reliably pick these figures up at. I was calling them once a week in Jan/Feb (release date) to see if they had them or when they'd get them.
Then I just kinda left it until last week when my gf went to one of the places and picked it up.
So they could have gotten them a month ago, but it was still quite the delay, and this isint the first time.
And yea 35 is steep, but I guess the Canadian dollar is shit right now.
I'm not into Isolation, but according to what I've seen of the game, it looks pretty accurate.

Just curious as to where you are located in Canada. Here in Ottawa, I've noticed that whenever NECA releases the packaging images it's about a month until the Toys on Fire in Ottawa get's the figures in stock. I've had my dogs since February and I picked up the new Predator line last week. Also not sure if you pre order but the $35 you paid seems high; however I understand how bad shipping in Canada can be. I've found Amazon really amazing for shipping, alot of free shipping over $25; you gotta know your prices though.
Finally got my Dog alien yesterday. Things take so long to release in Canada.
Anyways figure is amazing, sculp, color, articulation. One of Neca's finest to date.
Didn't like spending 35 on it, but it's either that or not get it at all.
I'm so happy with the figure though, mostly due to it not just being a crumby repaint with the same body like all their other alien/pres figs are.
I suspect we will see its sculpt again though when neca tackles the kenner alien line. (Panther alien comes to mind)
But Warrior's antagonist surely is a Colonial Marine (whichever).
Since NECA is to release both xenomorphs in that 1/4 scale, they ought to release both human characters too
The marines have always been more iconic to me than Ripley (but that's just my opinion)
