I love those Commandos! I must have them in my life!

[Otter]

And series 9 is gonna be Aliens themed again, did I hear that right?

[Corporal Hicks]

Not sure. I do believe they've got a Kenner themed series coming soon too.

This stuff looks great! Can't wait to see what else they have in store for this anniversary year!

Well fellas, surprisingly series 7 won't feature the "queen pup" and the queen hugger.
A3 Ripley, the Weyland commandos, a restock of the original dog Alien, and a grayer version of it (sexier than the former I think).

Where can you buy these larger Neca figures? And how much they usually go for?

It'll be in a creature pack released separately. I must admit I'm not massively fussed with those.

I kind of don't... really understand the 'Queen pup' figure.

Is this like supposed to be the Alien Queen inside Ripley... if Ripley were a rottweiler?  ...or is it an alternative to the dog alien, if it was born to be a Queen..?

...or wut?

The Bambiburster was great... So why is it now a Queen pup hybrid thingy?  I just don't get it.  At all.  So confused.

It's just supposed to be a Queen burster. Wasn't there an old Halycon model that looked like that?

Having just dipped into NECA for the first time with their upcoming Scarface figure, I really think I might have to get me a commando and a runner as well. Those commandos are easily my favourite costume design from the whole franchise. I don't care if their outfits are hysterically inconvenient and pointless, they look so damn cool.

Halcyon made one of each burster.  There was a Queen burster and a Dog Alien burster (along with an adult dog Alien as part of their 'ALIEN 3' range.).

I think most peoples' expectations of the Queen burster is heavily influenced by the 'ALIEN 3' poster image; coiled, sans legs.  NECA's new version appears to borrow heavily from the quadrupedal dog/ox burster but featuring the juvenile Queen Alien head.  It just looks... weird.  Largely because so many of NECA's product to date is so accurate compared to this odd hybrid.

Depends where you're located, but they're usually available online. From what I can tell, they're not really cheap but not *that* expensive. $100 plus shipping for the 1/4 scale Aliens warrior. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=NECA%20Aliens
