NECA Aliens

For Newt, Randy said he has a "fairly solid plan B" and that he can't talk about it now. 

[Xenomrph]

That WY Commando figure is pretty solid, I'll definitely be getting that. The in-package photo shows 2 pairs of goggles and they both seem identical, is one just a spare in case you lose the first?

Still on the fence on A3 Ripley, I'll wait to see it in person.

A3 Ripley looks great. Her and the WY Commando are must haves.

[DaddyYautja]

Anyone going to comic con want to pick me up a Newt figure? We can work something out and I can throw in something extra for your time.

Didn't Randy say Newt will be fairly readily availble through other channels after the con?

But if you gotta have her straight away, I can respect that.

Is that a current statement or the old one?
Cause that's the reason a bunch of people are mad at them. They keep saying how their stuff is available to the people that want it, which is true, but this time around they completely went the other way.

As of now all the figs are CC exclusive on-site.

I know Randy said he  is pushing for Newt but that is not a guarantee.

[T Dog]

I'm liking the looks of A3 Ripley. Assuming she looks good in person, I might finally pick up a Ripley!

What sold me on the Alien Ripley was that is came with the flamethrower and Jones. But, it was mostly Jones that pushed it into must buy territory for me!

[windebieste]

NECA must make 1/4 scale Jones figure to match their Alien. 

MUST!

[Otter]

I'd be tempted by that to stand in as a 1:4 Klunk with my 1:4 ninja turtles.

[Corporal Hicks]

Definitely getting one of those Commandos!

The K-species were the green ones from AvP Extinction, right?

You got it!

More yellowish, I'd say.

Bit OT, but did you catch the possible reference to the K-Series in Aliens: Invasion?

Spoiler

About it being a disaster when W-Y tried genetically modifying xenos.

I thought it was a bit of a dig towards Resurrection.

I like it and hate it at the same time. Simple repaint. I don't have a "Red Hive" to build up so these are of little interest to me. I will pick up a box set sure, but won't be opening any. K Series? Same opinion but an entire "Aliens V Predator Extinction" Line? SIGN ME UP!!! That's my dream team #facehuggerfriday reveal.

God, I would love a Ravenger or Carrier.

As would I. Even the Praetorian and Predalien are technically unique in design to the game. The Predator designs would be great as there are, what, 7 or so models? I'm just going off memory. Same with Marines.

I have to say if they don't offer the figures online through NECA Club like they have in years past, I'll be really angry. One of the first CC Exclusives I really want (Newt) and they have some nonsense clause about not being able to sell them outside of it? Like we can all drop a couple thousand bucks to fly out there, hotel, food, tickets etc AND purchase their exclusive toys...

ebay.  Someone will be flogging them.  Yes there'll be an obscene mark-up, but I'd rather have the figure than not have the figure.

I understand it's not for everyone though, and some people are more able to hold their ground when it comes to feeding the scalpers.

That's the thing. Some of the SDCC figures are still available at a reasonable markup price. Others are ridiculous. It all depends on the market. Buy too many too soon and they sky-rocket in price or buy too few and people will hold on to them to wait for a better time to sell. Can't win.

[Otter]

I'm hoping that Popcultcha will stock Newt locally.  They have always stocked the SDCC exclusives in the past.  I feel like I read somewhere that Newt might be harder to get than previous exclusives, but I don't know how much of that was just people getting tied up in the ire about the ninja turtles exclusives.

[slaysaliens]

Series 8 just hit neca's ebay!

[sir_bobos]

Picked up Amanda Ripley. Pretty happy with her.


Waiting on the Marines to come now.

[Whiskeybrewer]

I love that you have the Alien behind her in the pic. Its like she's going, this thing is beeping like hell, but where is it? lol
