NECA Aliens

[judge death]

Been silent from Neca for a long time now about any new alien figures, when can we expect statements on new releases?

[bobcunk]

I just realized something, my Scorpion Alien didn't come with a minicomic. I know its official because I bought it at Target. Is that a common thing? I looked on eBay and it seems that some come with comics and don't. Was this a production change? Or did Neca's Wonder Quality Control strike again?

If the mini comics were printed by dark horse it might be because they lost the license.  Any new runs might not be able to use them.

do the bootleg comics still say printed in Canada? Was there ever a bootleg of the orange rhino  alien I have to from diferant stores ( that one order was canceled since it took almost a year to ship. Both lack the yellow dry brushing one their heads and the hip joints are black instead of orange. I've seen both versions in online reviews but I'm wondering if it's a bootleg. One was from a proper store the other was from an online tit store in Toronto.

They seem to be winding it down unfortunately.

I had hoped for more retro kenner style figures

[bobby brown]

We should allow them. They have been cranking them out for over 10 years. they have done  EVERYTHING and beyond:P
I salute NECA.

Just wait to see who else grabs the opportunity to fill that market void.
Hiya has been killing it lately.

Shocked they didn't complete the Nostromo crew in their non space suit outfits as they obviously have the likeness rights. They were trying to get a couple more Aliens marines out (Drake, Apone), but I guess it didn't work out...
The collection is absolutely fantastic, yes, but I want more!
I imagine they'll do figures off of the new show/movie if they happen.

Give it to another company hopefully Hasbro instead please for the love of God, their face printing tech alone blows NECA out of the water completely, and a decent schedule.

[dHunter333]

Disagreed. Hasbro would use one body for the entire Nostromo crew, MAYBE a 2nd body for the females.

[BlueMarsalis79]

You mean just like the Prometheus figures then?

Yeah and we'd actually get them, and their faces would be good, and wouldn't break immediately.

And still no Wolf or PredAlien after fifteen years now?

Time to give it to someone who gives a toss.

[bobcunk]

They released Wolf and the PredAlien 15 years ago.

[JokersWarPig]

NECA has turned into a TMNT machine unfortunately. Once they finish Lost Tribe I will probably be done with them completely if there's no word on more movie marines or more comics xenos.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Yep agreed.

[Gridseeker]

Yep, me too, but there´s "Prey" coming, but who knows? Probably NECA will lost the rights of both Alien/Predator franchise. My biggest issue is we would never see an Ultimate version of the AVP requiem monster cast and no Apone or Drake figures.

[Kane's other son]

On one hand, I really want to get all the Nostromo crew. On the other hand, even if they did release all the figures, most of them would never reach stores around here. I still haven't found a flight suit Ripley.

[SuperiorIronman]

They released Wolf and the PredAlien 15 years ago.

An Ultimate was brought up and they still haven't released them. Not sure whose at fault for that be it the license holders or Neca themselves. But updated figures are long overdue. And it's not like the original figures are easy to get ahold of or as if they're incredibly articulated either. They're one of if not the first things they did and it shows. They can keep releasing repaints but wont try to move figures people keep asking for.

[judge death]

They could easily release a ultimate version of the AVPR warrior if they wanted, they did in fact with the so called sewer alien that is that figure repainted brown, and has way more articulation. Just need to repaint it.

I still have that one and the predalien one, but they are more statues and yes they are expensive like hell to get hold of now.
