Isn't the Dallas/Runner wave supposed to be out soon?

That's both good and bad for me; I only need to spend money on one figure as I don't collect humans.

......Unless it was a Ripley figure, I'd make an exception.

July is not the end of the year.  Randy tweeted today that they changed factories for the Alien figures resulting in a "TBD" date of release on series 3.  Sux to wait, but should be better quality control if they changed factories!

If a delay means a quality improvement then it´s fine. Fortunately I didn´t have any issue with the series 1 and 2 but I read a lot of people had it, so let´s hope NECA will pick a decent Chinese factory.

Let's hope this factory change means better quality control, yep. I didn't encounter quality issues so far with my NECA figures either, but the many bad feedbacks I read were concerning. Perhaps they heard them.

Moreover, they can't mess with the coming Ripley figures and the Queen, Sigourney Weaver's likeness was tough to get and there are many long awaited figures in the next series, so they can hardly afford to disappoint their customers with the next figures. I guess this is the reason why.

Has the ETA been announced for the Queen figure? I heard that it was supposed to be unveiled at some convention.

NECA would shown the prototype of the Queen and Ripley for this coming SDCC and yes, I think the reason of the delay is they´re looking a better factory due the qualitiy complains, moreover the Alien Queen and Ripley would are the spotlights of the Alien line up of this year.

Interesting stuff. I wonder which Queen it will be based off? I personally hope it looks similar to the Aliens queen rather than AVP/A:R

It is the Aliens Queen, purebred because that's the only one we've ever seen on the big screen.

Got it?

No need to be sarcastic  ;D.

Anyway I agree, must be the Alien Queen from Cameron's movie, like Randy said NECA Alien series are to cover the quadrilogy (best fits with the coming Ripley / power loader figure), so no AvP here.
Hopefully  ;D.
