NECA have now revealed what will be included in Aliens Series 9, due for release some time around September. This set is to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Aliens. Earlier this week, actress Jenette Goldstein revealed her Pvt. Vasquez figure based on her likeness. It’s very accurate to her character in the movie with the same tag on her chest – “El riesgo siempre vive” meaning “the risk always lives”. Her accessories include her iconic smartgun, headgear and shoulder lamp. Also joining Vasquez in Series 9 is another member of her squad – Pvt. Frost – based on Ricco Ross’s likeness. Frost’s accessories include a removable helmet, ammo bag, M240 Flamethrower and a pistol.

Rounding off Series 9 is the Albino Alien. Now, this Xenomorph featured in James Cameron’s original screenplay for Aliens which describes small albino ‘Drones’ helping the Queen and moving her eggs in the hive. Instead of an inner mouth, they have an excreting probe. It’s not particularly hard to see why it was cut though it did later appear in Alan Dean Foster’s novelization. So, here’s NECA’s concept figure. Scale-wise, I don’t think it was ever intended to be as big as this in the movie though.

The last bit of NECA figure news we have for you is Newt. Just before Alien Day, Carrie Henn revealed her Rebecca “Newt” Jorden figure that will be an exclusive for the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con in July. Her accessories include a removable helmet, light, her Casey doll head and and a photograph of her.
“They mostly come at night… mostly.” – Newt
Not sure what the the pink and orange Aliens are yet though.
Also, it looks like the Gorilla Alien is going to have a clear dome.
Edit: removable dome on Gorilla. And it looks like the third figure is a giant Queen Facehugger. Kinda bummed about that.

Hard to say for sure but this kind of error may be value adding to the package in years to come. It will probably be corrected in any future version of the figure so get this one now!

NECA are killing SDCC this year (especially with the Henson turtles, but I'll save that for another forum
Oh my! Damn straight I do
This is passable with only certain figures. The Mantis looks good but this gorilla just looks like a normal warrior.
The figures are cool enough to not need them.

I'm not sure if they'll come with any extras.
Really enjoying what I'm seeing here so far, regardless.

No. Neca has stated these will not have any "gimmicks" on them.
WOW!!! Just realised the last issue of Prometheus Life and Death had Xeno's that had similar prongs on their dome head ends.
Also where the hell can I get myself the Neca Ripley from Aliens figure that isn't going to cost me twice as much. Very hard to find. Mind you I found the Alien Ripley at a decent price on Aliexpress.com
I wonder. Does it include a squeeze bulb at the back of the head? Can it spit?
Looking forward to seeing how they round out this series. After all, much like the Ramans, NECA have a tendency to do things in Threes...
Bull Alien if you could, please.

Mine too. I had every one except Ajax and when I was finally old enough to watch Aliens I remember being like, "Why does Bishop have hair?" lol.
Elevating this figure well above its ludicrous source material is no mean feat. Nice.

I'd think that NECA would rekease the scorpion alien as well. A simple retooling and repaint of their warrior figures and voila.
SDCC display wip.
its something that came with a x-files figure, i sort of use it as a stasis chamber even though it looks nothing like them
i am eagerly awaiting getting a ton of the alien accessory pack

...or maybe Japan..? Wouldn't be the first time:
1997 silver coated Tsukuda repressing of their Kenner derived Alien action figure EXCLUSIVE to Japan Toys 'r' Us stores.
...but I'm guessing it's a safe US release.

Toys R Us exclusive.

What are the details released so far on these? I'm dying for these the most.
Yea those battle suits were great. I dug the artwork in Genocide.
Oh hell yea, they can even do separate ones for "Max" (Berzerker), "Shitkicker" (Tribes), and an Ellis one with the human figures able to be taken in and out.
