Last night NECA unveiled the fourth series of their Alien figure series. Whilst not the first Ripley figures, these are the first to feature an accurate likeness of Sigourney Weaver:
“Series 4 in our best-selling Alien action figure collection celebrates 35 years of the original Alien film with all-new character debuts! It includes two versions of Ellen Ripley — for the first time ever featuring the likeness of Sigourney Weaver — and Dallas in his Nostromo Spacesuit.
Ripley in Nostromo Jumpsuit comes with flamethrower and Jonesy the cat. Dallas in Nostromo Spacesuit comes with removable helmet, pistol and flashlight. Ripley in Nostromo Spaceuit comes with removable helmet, harpoon gun with two different attachments, and a frightened version of Jonesy the cat. Each fully articulated figure stands approximately 7″ tall and comes in special 35th Anniversary packaging.”
NECA Alien Series 4 is due out March 2015. Series 3 is due out sometime this month.
Big chap has "Alien", Hicks has "Aliens", so on...
No information if we are to get a xeno in series 5 or not. Just eggs and Ripley from Aliens so far.
Yeah - the earlier images looked better. I think if I get any from this set it will be space-suit Ripley. I'm more inclined to get all of the previous series myself - maybe not Bishop though.
Lucky Star Ripley is better than the former imo, still the most convincing figure of this series is Dallas.
