Ah, yes, Alien Covenant has finally been released for all you Americans. Let us know what you thought of the flick by posting your thoughts in the Fan Reviews thread in the forum. Meanwhile here’s some Alien merchandise news. NECA have finally taken the wraps off their Neomorph and Xenomorph figures based on the creatures from the new Alien movie.
Neomorph
The Neomorph figure is 9″ tall and comes with an interchangeable head as well as lots of different points of articulation and a bendable tail. The smaller Neomorph figure is also included. You can preorder the Neomorph for £31.99 on Forbidden Planet or $22.99 on BigBadToyStore.
Xenomorph
The iconic Xenomorph is 10″ tall and features a extendable inner jaw, lots of articulation and bendable tail. You can preorder the Xenomorph for £31.99 on Forbidden Planet or $24.99 on BigBadToyStore.
Accessory Pack
Finally the Creature Pack can be used for dioramas and includes 2 Facehuggers, 1 open egg, 1 closed egg, 1 smaller Neomorph and 1 “Chestburster”. They call it a Chestburster but in reality it’s the miniature Xenomorph we see in the film. You can preorder the Xenomorph for £30.99 on Forbidden Planet or $22.99 on BigBadToyStore.
All the NECA Alien Covenant figures will be released some time next month. Will you be buying any of the figures to add to your collection? The Xenomorph figure is definitely top-notch.

Shame there's not going to be any human characters made.
its on our list of things to do this summer
we want to sculpt some jarred fetal critters and the neomorph certainly fits the bill.

Not NECA, but still cute as hell. Made by "phunny" who has done the same mini, stylized alien plushies from before.
Waiting for it to become available for preorder.

This would be cool to have along a David figure.

YEAH! I took personal offense to there being so many Bishop figures being neglected. I was so excited for it's release and couldn't get my hands on it fast enough!
But anyway... human figures mostly tend to be peg warmers.
I feel ya... Human characters usually end up as shelf warmers though. I remember NECA saying saying that even popular human character figures would sit around... plus there's always the issue of getting the rights to individual actors likeliness.
I see what they mean as I frequent toy stores often and yeah, tons of human figures.
No human figures?! Ohh that's bad news. Especially with all the cool weapons and I liked the gear better than the blue tights from Prometheus.
I heard that they confirmed they will not be doing human figures. Kinda sucks because I really wanted some colonist fodder for my hive. Walter doesn't technically count as human though
Hell yea. I'd love to see a creature accessory pack with some of his experiments.
Have they confirmed human figures?
Mine are Tennessee, Ledward and Upworth.
Yeah! I heard about that one. I'll likely get that one once I see it. But I hope to see something from Hiya Toys, Play Arts, Kotobukiya, and/or SH Monsterarts... who have impressed before with their alien figures.

The actual alien/xenomorph one still looks like total trash to me. So disappointing... Hopefully other companies make a better looking collectible of him that I can snatch up.
That's what i was thinking
I think i may hold off and wait to see if we get an updated mold later on.

We may know the truth behind the design process because we're more dedicated fans, but it's NECA that's going to have egg on their face when John Q Public sees the figures on the pegs at Toys R Us and says "Wtf, they didn't look like this in the movie???"
Edit-- especially when BBTS's product listing literally says "this screen accurate version". If that's BBTS just embellishing the product listing, that makes NECA look bad. If that's actually quoted verbatim from NECA's own product description, then that is NECA's fault.
Edit again-- it's quoted from NECA themselves. The designs being changed isn't something you can blame NECA for, but false advertising sure is.
That would be meat!

That's why the Neomorph and Xeno look different than what was on screen.
Not Neca's fault.
That's exactly how the creature looked in both test screenings that I saw. I don't think any of this was NECA's fault. It was redone in post.
