They’ve been teasing the Alien: Resurrection series for some time and now it’s official, Series 14 is all about Ripley 8 and those cloned Aliens!
Ellen Ripley Clone 8 stands approximately 7” tall, has over 25 points of articulation and features the likeness of Sigourney Weaver. She wears the clone’s futuristic ensemble and comes with Draco Double Burner and Lacrima 99 Shockrifle accessories, plus interchangeable hands and a basketball. The Resurrection Warrior stands over 9” tall and is faithful to the Alien’s appearance in the movie. It features over 30 points of articulation, including a tail assembly which provides an additional swivel as well as having a bendable portion.
Unlike most waves, Series 14 is made of only two figures. However, NECA has previously shown off a Newborn figure so it’s possible it maybe a special release unrelated to Series 14. Judging from the prototype boxing I would guess it would be released as one of NECA’s “Ultimate” figures. Series 14 is currently slated for release in the 2nd quarter of 2019.
NECA also recently announced their Alien 3 Accessory Pack – Creature Pack, coming completely with Bambi Burster, Queen Chestburster, Super Facehugger and Spike the Dog, due for release in May!

(I don't like buying from Neca's stores directly, had a bad experience once and the shipping cost is nuts imo)

Yeah same, I'll get it for completionist sake. I have the old Signature series Hasbro one. Though I'm excited about that Ultimate Dog alien now....
It's called capitalism homie
The Newborn, PredAlien or Upgrade?
Why not direct your budget towards the single most despised creature from the worst movie in the franchise? Profit!
Hoping you can place it on Ripley.
Perhaps one of the extras will be an interchangeable blood-soaked head from this gorgeous shot:

Ripley's ashes.
Bishop's remains. (seriously I'd go for this one)
From the new arcade Dutch and Lin pictures you can see in the background the blue arcade alien which is based on the dog alien that it has the new ball jointed knees. Great for posing. Didn't see finger articulation, but would love that. Really doubt we'd get a new head sculpt. If we're lucky, we might get a few more degrees out of the neck. Though that's easily fixable. I used this trick on mine, worked like a charm.
The two accessories are an interesting question. If they go with anything from the creature pack, then that defeats the purpose of the creature pack, does it not? But what else could we get?
Acid spit?
Cracked bucket? lol
I like to think of him as the lead Alien we never saw in Aliens lol. Domed > Ridged. Can't wait to get him in the mail.

Person was only interested in Burke, so I was able to get the Alien itself cheap.
Technically all of of the aliens line was Hasbro exept for the 1979 alien, hasbro acquired kenner in 1991but didnt get ride of the brand till the 90s or early 2000s, they still sell under the kenner brand for a lot of their Starwars toys.
Which?
But seriously, I love it. Definitely a must buy for me!

Certainly looks pretty good! I'm not sure I actually want one, mind, but it's really cool to see them do one.
Oh god right. That would need some strategically placed stickers as well.
Even this version might get one
I've only seen one article saying it's possible--and that article was from two years ago. Drake is becoming the Schrodinger's cat of action figures. He could be confirmed, he could not be confirmed; we don't know till NECA opens the box.
In all honesty, I've seen more people, both on Twitter and AvPGalaxy, ask for Drake. I haven't seen anyone ask for the Newborn. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
Then again, the likeness rights are one of the major hindrances for getting more Marines. None of us have any control over that.
Sorry!
It does look good. I can't see any NECA Alien collector unhappy with this one.
I guess the Marines just don't sell as well.
It's OK, Voodoo, I'm still pained both this and a new AvP:R Predalien are coming before Drake.
It's not like severe pain. It's just . . . like a dull ache . . . on my soul.

Also I think this Newborn figure looks great, definite preorder for me.
