NECA has just revealed that they will be doing Colonial Marines from the James Cameron film Aliens. Although Rpiley will not be included in these figures.
They just said that for sure they are doing Hicks in their line....
Probably easier to aquire Biehn's likeness than Arnolds, or Weaver's. This is the Best News in a while!!
umm, any reliable source? i'm not sure if im gonan believe this, just like the queen thread that was recentli posted and was false. Salt folks...SALT!
Hicks, Hudson and Vasquez please ;D

I got this directly from NECA's twitter, so these are facts not false infornation
They also tweeted: "Not at #toyfair but we're sculpting in studio Rambo, Reese, Marines, & New Aliens Warrior w/ more articulation & removable limbs. Hell yeah!"
I can't wait to see them!
ok, NOW IM HYPED!
Oh shit!
I am going to be so, so poor for a long time.
Damn! New Predators, new Colonial Marines and new Alien! F*ck, I need more goddamn shelves! AND MAKE THIS THREAD STICKY!

is there a link or anything? i really want to believe this, but it's tough considering... it's seems too good to be true... neca's hunger games figures look like the best human figures they've done by a long shot, i think they'd probably knock the aliens marines out of the park. lord knows the mcfarlane hicks left something to be desired.

About Ripley:Q: Is Ripley included, or are we still without our hero?
A: not included. Her likeness is not available
About the new Aliens with removable limbs:Q: why removable Limbs ?
A: so the Marines can blow them apart!! Game over man!!
And about the Alien Queen:Q: I have to ask, EVERYONE is hoping Her Majesty the Queen will finally get the royal treatment from NECA. Any update?
A: hopefully for 2013 it won't happen this year with Marines and Prometheus on the way. There just isn't time...
About Prometheus:Q: Are actor's likeness rights included in the Prometheus licence? Will they be out in time for the film?
A: nothing will be out in time for the film and I can't comment any further on specifics.
About the P2 1/4 and Cameron's Alien 1/4:Q: Any hope for a 1/4 scale Cameron Alien to compliment the Pred?
A: we might improve and revisit the original 79 Alien first if it does well we'll see
:o
Maybe I haven't been keeping up with current events, but this is great, man. Truly Great! So how many marines are planned?
Seriously, I'd buy the entire squad if they made em. Chances are it'll be limited to Hicks, Vasquez and Hudson though.
i wnat an bishop figure!!!!!!!!!!! ;-) ,-) why does no factory release him???
a cool weapon pack or an pack with chestbursters facehuggers and eggs will be also a coll release ;-)

Right, here is what's inside the link:
Q: Dont get me wrong, im more than happy with the Prometheus figures. But what do you mean by "classic Alien"? Just the first movie?
A: the entire franchise,
Colonial Marines are coming from Cameron's film.

Thank you. It's utterly awesome if it happens, but I tend to be skeptical until I at least see samples. I appreciate you guys sharing the information though. I'd read on another site that it was based on a video game, and not the movie, but obviously better to get it from the horse's mouth.

I hope Ripley is eventually made as an Alien series by NECA without Ripley is like cake without icing.
I highly doubt we'll see ANY Prometheus stuff until after the movie is released unless it is human characters.

No surprise. it's like with the Predators figures, for sure. but i don't mind
Hey guys does anyone know if we can have some reference picks from the movie like some of the names of the marines?
Gorman (Lt)
Apone (Sgt)
Hicks (Cpl)
Dietrich (Cpl)
Ferro (Cpl)
Vasquez (PFC)
Hudson (PFC)
Spunkmeyer (PFC)
Drake (Prvt)
Frost (Prvt)
Crowe (Prvt)
Wierzbowski (Prvt)
And then Bishop.
Today is a great day. Today I got a new job with good salary. I have received my final Predator books, now i have a complete collection. Today i heard about some great figures. Today... Am i dying or what? Too good to be true.
Give us a Hudson figure! Seems like my dreams are coming true. Thank you guys for sharing the most interesting news for me.

at least there is hope, thats enough for me for now. i enjoy my mcfarlane hicks, but i bet i'd love neca's way more, plus the other marines. this calls for my best diarama ever, and a hell lot of more warriors
Really can NOT wait to see see how the marines turn out. I will DEF pick up all these guys! and if they resculpt the giger alien to make it more accurate I will absolutely get it too! bravo neca
Can't believe I've missed this! Very very excited! I'm hoping for Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez and Bishop, personally.
Finally I can get action figures of Weirzbowski and Crowe. My life will be complete.
After the Lost Tribe, this is Neca's best way to get me to buy every figure of a line. I'll definitely buy every single Marine. Would even get Burke and Newt if offered.
Christ I would kill for a Burke figure. You can't even tell me it wouldn't sell - how many people would buy him just to pose him getting murdered by a NECA Alien figure. I know I would.
to be realistic, they will probably just do Hicks, Hudson, Apone, Drake, & Vasquez. Don't think Sig, Carrie, Lance, or Paul count as Colonial Marines. But to be optimistic, Frost would be great if they got that far.
Either way, being a huge Biehn fan, Hicks & Reese are on the way!
i hope these marines have good articulation instead of leaving them in their poses
It's NECA it's gonna be great articulation, I mean they're even re-making their warrior aliens to look better, have better articulation, & have removable limbs so the marines can blow them apart! Who else does this?!NECA

I was thinking the same thing. Crowe and Wierzbowski are easy to omit, but Frost DID have some business in the film. Dietrich is also possible, and Ferro would be cool since she's different with the pilot gear. Would break it up some. Gorman is also different since he's just in regular BDUs, but he also wouldn't have a lot of interesting weapons. Maybe a facehugger tube or something, from the lab scene. Spunkmeyer is probably a notch above Crowe as far as having business.
But yeah, if they make a figure of any character from Aliens, I'd buy it. Except, you know, people like Van Leeuwen and the colonists before they're cocooned. I only have so much shelf space.

That's exactly what i'm thinking.
These five marines plus the new Alien warrior (with removable limbs) could be release in two series of three figures each (like they always did with predators) 8)
And i'm hoping NECA release (maybe in a two-pack) facehuggers, chestbursters and eggs ;D
There's logic to that, but how they've handled the Predators gives me hope that they'll do the baker's dozen.
yeah, as far as screen time - some marines had same screen time as some of the Lost. BUT (big but) all the Lost have same arms, legs, hands, & feet. So the only tooling they had to do was couple masks/heads & body armor. In the end they prolly only used a tooling budget for 2 or 3 different figures to make all 9. Plus, the Gort is just a head swap. And this is just what Stan Winston did too, I'm not bashing NECA in the slightest, they f*ckin rock. Like you guys were saying w/ Ferro and Gordon having different outfits, thats 2 100% new tools. I hope they just get a tooling budget to do the standard marine get-up like Hicks/Hudson/Apone and then the back-pack smart gun get-up w/ Drake/Vasquez.
On another note (and this won't happen, it doesn't make business sense) but how freakin sweet would it be if they did an accessories 2-pack for Predator & Alien that included all the Skull Trophies from the ship and then Eggs, Facehuggers, & Chestbursters?

Not necessarily. They really could get away with essentially two bodies, with slight variations here and there on certain things. Correct me if I'm wrong, since i have none in front of me at the moment, but don't the Predators have seperate armor pieces? The armor on the Marines could easily be a glued on part. So you really need a female and a male body. If they do it that way, then it'd be a waste to NOT do Ferro and Dietrich. Gorman would be slightly different still, since he has sleeves, but all the Marines are wearing BDUs under the armor, so the torso would probably be able to be recycled.
If they treat it that way, I could definitely see them doing the whole bunch. Just different armor for the smargunners, different heads for everyone, and a different set of arms or legs here and there. Easy peezy.

I'm pretty sure NECA has said they're planning on doing the 'Predator 2' trophy room in some capacity.

Not the trophy room, just the trophies ;)
NECA posted this on thier website:
"We are returning to James Cameron's classic and doing figures of 2 different Marines and a brand new Aliens Warrior with improved articulation and possibly some battle damage features."
So it sounds like they are just doing 2 Marines. I really wonder if the new Aliens Warrior will be a brand-new sculpt, or use parts and pieces (like the head) of the old one.

i think Hicks are pretty much garanteed, especially considering the rumoured Reese figure. what number two is i dunno, i would like Hudson, but for the sake of awesome smartguns i'd like Vasquez. and i hope the new warrior are just as accurate, and that the new features won't hurt the quality of the sculpt
Hudson makes more sense as far as reusing parts from Hicks...

NECA said on twitter that there will be both a standard and Battle-damaged Warrior Alien variants. If they are released at the same time, I hope they put more regular Warriors to a case than battle damaged ones. I'm planning on heavily army-building these guys and want the standard version to be easy to get.
I would also like to army build, to a degree. If funds allow it, I think I'd like to get six. Wasn't it only six actual costumes on set?

I mean because he's a prick like that and I'd expect him to ask for an unreasonable amount. Am sure that's what he did with McFarlanes?
The thought just occured to me... if they are making variants of the Alien, I wonder if the Marines will have helmeted/unhelmeted variants. Hopefully they will just come with removeable helmets.

I noticed, it represents like exactly that sequence when the Alien sneeks up on the catbox,
I just totally forgot.
I just remembered the flattened Alien under the APC.
And the "blown trans-axle" noise when you roll the back wheels.
The design teams clearly had a lot of fun with the Action Fleet vehicles, there's a lot of really neat touches. The box for the APC one even quoted a bunch of stats from the Colonial Marines Technical Manual.
And the metal APC MicroMachine fit perfectly into the belly of the ActionFleet Dropship and its weight made it roll out perfectly when the ramp was lowered.
I miss the ActionFleet line.
I am regularly tempted to buy more of their StarWars stuff from ebay.
I've been looking high and low for the dropship, that's awesome that the little APC fits inside it. I have the other 3 Alien/Predator Action Fleet vehicles, though.

That rare?
Apparently, yeah. If I could get it for, say, under $50 I'd jump at the chance.
So not a lot of new stuff on here on the marines
They were literally just announced, so there isn't a whole lot to go off of yet other than "they will exist at some point in the future".
So what accessories / gear would you like to see?
Top of my list would be...
Pulse rifle
Flame thrower
Motion tracker
Welding torch
Smart gun
Id want both the pulse rifle and smart gun, although arent they the same thing?
Pulse rifle:

I just watched Aliens on bluray over the weekend again. I actually would be okay with just Hicks, Hudson, and Vasquez. If they do any two of those, then it'll be a bummer if they don't do all three. But still hoping for the entire bunch.
Here is some updated info from NECA about the Alien license: http://necaonline.com/33284/blog/news-and-announcements/the-2012-alien-and-aliens-line-everything-that-we-can-share/ (http://necaonline.com/33284/blog/news-and-announcements/the-2012-alien-and-aliens-line-everything-that-we-can-share/)
I can't wait to get the Marines and all of those Warrior Aliens!

"You can expect the Warrior Aliens to have
clean and battle damaged versions and both
blue and brown highlights for variety when army building your hive."
:o
I hope the clean versions are easier to find than the battle-damaged versions. Man, I am going to be buying sooo many of these guys!
I'm wondering what "battle damaged" even means in this context.

Based on what because is saying, I'm expecting Vasquez to be the other marine. It makes sense to have 1 grunt and a smart gunner.
Unless they wanna go the cheap route and do 2 standard marines which would require less sculpting.
Yep, I agree. It's definitely one of those. Or maybe a third possibility. But it can really only be one of those three things.
So they are officialy doin Hicks but i'm still not sure how the articulation will be like
Articulation is definately a concern for me too, its gotta be significantly better than the mcfarlane figure.
Yeah, either way I'm sure it'll be great. Maybe not like the Predator 2 figures, but I'm not worried at all.
I dont know if anyone would want to but can someone post pictures of the colonial marines? Itll help spicing up this thread

yeh, and he always die, poor paxton. i like Hudson the most of his characters though
i still think NECA should do a Bill Paxton 3-pack ;D and they've got the relevant movie licenses! not sure about the actor's likeness though

Well, if they ever do a nude Arnold figure...
^ Why would anyone want a nude Arnie figure? Purchase the Pit Fighter Conan (think it's called that), swap heads for T2 Man or Machine and custom it a bit. Now you have made a Dutch with mud camolfauge, much for interesting than having a figure showing Arnie's hairy ass and his privacies.

i really hope not, at least i hope they do a few more of the well known marines. except hicks, i really hope to see hudson, vasquez, apone and drake at least
And come on, Gorman! You gotta have Gorman. He outlives Hudson. barely.
The only other one I'd add to your list is Frost. And Dietrich. damn, may as well do Crowe...okay, all of them.

I knew it, idk if youve heard but one of the new preds will come with a trophy skull
taken directly from NECA's twitter, " we're sculpting both Marines at once, nothing tooled yet as still being sculpted. Probably a '13 release"
I´m so eager to see some prototypes pictures, even the mold is not finished yet.
Last night I had a beautiful dream that I found a NECA Drake at the local Toys R Us...
Looks like NECA will have a Hicks prototype by SDCC, the new Aliens will also be shown at the same time, the Jungle Hunter will also be part of the 25th anniversary series this year by the way
How do ya know they'll be at sdcc dude? can't wait to see them. I really hope that neca's new 22" Giger Alien has a newly sculpted 'face' and head to make it more accurate. that's the only reason I would pick it up as I have the current one.

dude.....check NECA's twitter, thats where its from
According to NECA on twitter today, an upcoming issue of Horror Hound magazine will feature the first sneak peak at one of the NECA colonial marines. The full reveal, of course, will be by NECA at the SDCC. Can anyone who comes across this issue scan in the photo & share it here ASAP?

This hurts my feelings :-[
That's a horrible joke stew! haha saw the pic in the horror hound magazine of Hicks. It looks like he'll have the double jointed knee joints that the Predators have. No arms or head in the pic.
sorry guys couldnt resist the eurge :( - anyways anyone got any pics of the real figure already...

clothes in actual fabric? no thanks. those ram joints? no thanks. i'm sure neca does a better job than this. the fabrix mixture on their recent Scream figure was just plain horrible. hot toys does a good job on the fabric but neca does awesome sculpting on cloth and stuff so i think that's more of their style
nonono not fabric i mean the way its been painted.

Here is the first preliminary shots of one of the new figs- not sure if any one has posted it yet!
Maybe it'll look better in the final painted sculpt, but that pic makes it look like a football player (and not in a good way).
i like it and as to the football player look - Watch the scene when they're getting ready to get in the APC before they land on LV-426. Very much like a group of guys suiting up and going out to play ball :D
I love it!!! :o

Color helps it, but I still think NECA releasing pics of the unpainted prototype was a mis-step.

Why? I've been thirsting to see anything of this figure.
It also helped their friends over at Horror Hound magazine to sell some issues. Good on them.
Pic looks great to me. keep in mind hes also missing the crotch pad, which will balance the lower body with the upper. Right now he looks top heavy because its not there. In addition theres no arms or head to give the torso more scale and balance.
it'll look good :D
Cool,its nice to see something, accurate or not.I mean its a prototype there will be added to it later.
Wonder how articulated they will be? Hope they wont be statues like the Terminator figures are.
Based on what i see there the hips seem like the predator 2 style or a variation of. The knees and ankles as well as the waist. If the articulation is as good as the predator 2 line ill be happy.
Hope that's right,I think they will be more articulated if the photos are anything to go by.
I mean Im sure we have all been waiting for Colonial Marines for a long time,so I hope NECA will put everything into em.
Any infos out on the characters ?
I mean Hicks is confirmed, if I remember right they want to bring out 3 chars in the first series. He should come with Pulse Rifle and Shotgun. But who else ?
I bet on Hudson with Flamethrower and Motion Tracker
And I hope for a Vasquez with Smartgun
Other than Hicks; love Hudson, Vasquez and Frost. Frost and Hudson would both come with a Pulse Rifle and a motion tracker, each. Vasquaz should have the pistol, Pulse Rifle and the Smartgun. Hicks should be included with the Pulse Rifle and the Shotgun, for close encounters.
Hicks: Pulserifle, Locator, head (with helmet on), Shotgun
Apone: with binoculars, flamethrower, cigar
Hudson: Pulse Rifle, Hacking tool and Motion tracker
Vasquez: (removable) Smartgun, Pistol and Pulserifle
Drake: Smartgun, acid burn head
Frost: Motion Tracker, Pulserifle and Pistol.
.... my ideas..
well, except that they need the licence for likeness of them all. I see no reason not to release most of the Male marines as they can have alot of re-used parts.
They did the lost preds, so why not these guys?
I guess humans are less popular but they still had bigger roles than the lost preds.

Honestly, NECA is (thankfully) taking a big chance making the Marines.
Human figures tend not to sell as well as creature figs.
That, and the cost of securing the likeness rights, means the initial run REALLY needs to sell well or we won't get all of them.
I'm excited to hear they're considering comic book and video game Alien/Pred figs though. That's a huge step in the right direction.

That´s true: some time ago in Neca facebook account, a fella asked them if they had plans to release some predators from the Dark Horse comic and the administrator from Neca looked very interested in the idea.
Are we to expect the Colonial marines release before the Prometheus one?
NECA is showing Prometheus & Kyle Reese at SDCC.
They are not showing Colonial Marines.
They will release Prometheus Series One this Fall.
They will release Kyle Reese as part of The Terminator Series Three this Fall.
They are NOT showing the Colonial Marines at SDCC.
They are NOT releasing the Colonial Marines in 2012.
Series One will consist of TWO Colonial Marines. Cpl. Dwayne Hicks is confirmed as one. The other is yet to be announced.
They are showing Predators in 1/4 scale & 6 inch scale at SDCC.
Predator Series 7 & 8 are 25th Anniversary themed.
Predator Series 7 is projected to be released before the end of 2012.

Hmm, only two marines. i bet the 3rd figure in the lineup are that re-made Warrior alien

:-\ Well, at least I could stop concerning about the budget for the Marines and instead of it get the Predators lines 4, 5 the SDCC Stealth Predator and the 2 pack along the Evil Dead and Prometheus figures and some Transformers. At the end is a good thing because this year is full of releases I am very interested.

YES. now i can die happy. will it contain alternate heads though? it's good if we can have a neutral less-panicky face aswell
but that's his game(-over) face! ;D
yeh, i don't mind it, oposite, i love it. but i'd just want the option, gives more options when chosing display!. helmeted head is also something that would be good as option.

it probably would not stay on very well in that case. either loose with one straight pose when attached, or glued on another head
So how big is this thing? Is it in the same scale as the McFarlane Hicks?
yeah they will be 7" for humans 8" for preds & aliens. The engineers MAY be 8.5" I can't remember

HOLY SH*T! I can´t described how stunned I am! Perhaps the best facial sculpture I haven´t seen for a long time! Way to go Neca! Now if they improve only a bit Michael Biehn face we´ll have the ultimate colonial marines figures.

we don't know yetif that means variants or heads in-package. David seem to have heads in package, jason and freddy figures usually have. it seem to be head options with most human based figures while our precious popular bestselling creatures gets the seperated variants to suck our money
would be nice if Hudson "game over man!" was kitted out with:
head pooping himself with a helmet on
head pooping himself with helmet off
Pulse Rifle
Motion Tracker
Sentry Gun
---------------------------------------------------
and Hudson "Ultimate Badass" kitted with
Normal head
Normal Head with helmet
Motion Tracker
Pulse Rifle
Hacking kit
Don't forget the Hudson variant 'Come on, you bastard!' :D
i dont think they could use the phrase bastard but maybe a diorama of hudson being pulled down the floor with alien hand over the face. That would look cool
Wouldn't be bad. I would like to see a variant of Hudson from the 20 second scene before he was taken, with a different expression on his face.
Never mind Figures of Hudson crying, I want a figure of Hudson with that smug smile on his face and his helmet cocked to one side. It can be called "The Ultimate Badass".

Give him that slightly goofy expression and you've got it.
Huddy! Hellz yeah! Been wanting a Hudson figure since I was 4 so this is an absolute dream come true! Head sculpt is down right amazing on that one!! Definatly gonna be buying multiples and eventually getting one signed by Mr.Paxton himself! Can't wait to see Hicks aswell, just hoping the headsculpt is an improvement over the Reese one I'd like to get an alternate head of him sleeping on the dropship, would make for a super-cool display! Fingers crossed we got the others coming if these are a hit! Bravo, NECA!!
So, is NECA releasing the new Aliens figures at the same time as the marines? What's the release date? Their site says the new alien is coming in 2012.
The site isn't great with dates, truth to be told. And we haven't seen a prototype yet, so your best bet of a release is probably Spring 2013. Definately hoping for February time to go with the release of Colonial Marines.
So what Marines do we think they are going to make?
Hicks and Hudson are a guarantee, but who else will they make?
Also, how many variants will each one have?
I'll try and state the possibilities.
Hudson
- Crying (Gamer over man!)
- Angry face, blasting the shit through aliens just before he is taken by them
- Normal Hudson with helmet, with his good old smug "badass" expression.
Hicks
- Normal hicks with helmet and stuff
- Battle damaged Hicks?
Vasquez
- Normal Vasquez (What other variants could she have?)
Thats just my speculation.
Seeing as human characters are less popular, they may not make all of the marines like they did the lost preds.

Hudson I think you covered, Hicks sounds good and Vasquez they could do the version with her smart gun, then the version from the end of the film, without her extra armor and call it "Final Battle" Vasquez or something. I'd really like to see all these made, hopefully NECA pulls through.

Good thinking. Vasquez without her extra armour and armed only with a pulse rifle and pistol would be a good model. Obviously a different facial expression would be necessary, such as an aggressive expression
The other figure with all her armour and her smart gun could have a more serious expression, maybe with that slight smile that she gives drake a couple of times.
That Hudson looks fantastic. Very very good likeness. I wonder how well they'll pull Hicks off.
I can only hope to get all the marines, kenner made 8 i believe, one could say humans dont sell well, but given the quality work of NECA and the fact that the marine body could be reused for most of the marines and as a tie in to the video game coming out, i believe that the marines will do quite well, depending on likeness rights maybe as exclusives,
For the love of god show us more pic updates!!!!!
I hope the first wave of Marines get's released within February time, because of ACM, maybe they will be more profitable and sell better.
I would agree February is a perfect time to release the Aliens line, plus it gives me time to save up for those figs, i am wanting me some xenos bad.
And naturally i want some colonial marines 8)

Me too! Can't wait to see the new alien figures (and own them ;) )
I know i hate waiting lol, and after seeing Hudson really wanting to get a peek at those new Xenos and with the rumore of 2013 a possible queen :o
Will they bring out an original ALIEN as well? If so, do you think it will have the improved let joints - doubled jointed knees and ball jointed hip/thighs?
If they do then I will get it so I can position it like the movie.

Q: does Hudson come with a removable helmet, or do you have plans to launch a variant with him wearing his helmet ?
A: Helmets will be on diff figures, not removable. There will be more than one Hicks and more than one Hudson. Different heads & different accessories. Not all released at once
8)
Awesome. I'll have to wait until they bring them all out though. I don't want more than one of each character.
Looks like I may get "You want some of this Hudson". So badass.
yay :D
i need to wait too. i'd prefer helmet. but it also depends on the faces and accessories included. but most importantly they both need the pulse rifle
I want to build an army of marines, so i think i'll buy all the variants ;D

The unpainted sculpt makes it really hard to see if they did a good job on the Michael Biehn likeness. I really, really hope it's better than Kyle Reese.
its good to see that it has a bicep swivel. the forearm though, looks kinda thin for the figure
hmm hard to tell on likeness but its nice we got some pics :)

That's NECA?
Yes, 13-inch Alien
No...that is NOT the 13 inch Alien Warrior.
That is a pic of the new 8 inch action figure.
There is NO confirmation of a 1:4 Alien Warrior yet.
if the armour can have tarnish then its finished LD
Damn beat me to it!!! I already have the first warrior, and I usually don't like NECAs "same figure but with new articulation" but this looks awesome. Def picking this up. Looks different from their previous one for some reason.
I'm in another sig! 8)
Finally, some updates on the Marines! These look great so far. Hudson is looking great, the detail on the armor is top notch. But Hicks...dunno, maybe it's just me but his head looks very skinny. I hope they didn't jack up another Biehn sculpt...
That Alien Warrior looks excellent. I've already got their first one and I like it a lot, but this definitely looks like a huge improvement.
Jizz all over screen.

I can't f**king wait for these!!!
The likeness of Hudson is spot on! Not so sure about Hicks, though. At least he has a shotgun for close encounters.
Hard to tell on the new pics of Hudson for likeness but looks the same mold as the one at the expo. Hicks i doubt will ever look like the Actor but its better than nothing at all... Roll on Vasquez and Drake :D
Man if we can just get the main 4, ill be happy. Vasquez with a smart gun would kick ass.

Q: does Hudson come with a removable helmet, or do you have plans to launch a variant with him wearing his helmet ?
A: Helmets will be on diff figures, not removable. There will be more than one Hicks and more than one Hudson. Different heads & different accessories. Not all released at once
8)
So if NECA is doing version with and without the helmets, shouldn't the second Hudson(I guess it's called "You want some of this?" Hudson) have a helmet on then? Hopefully they are giving that version one, otherwise I'll need to do some mods.
probs comes with 2 heads.

Even if the Hicks likeness is bad, I've got the (kickass) McFarlane version and can probably do a head-swap.

Man, that Alien looks amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on it! I wonder if it a 100% new sculpt, or if parts (like the head, chest) are the same sculpt from the original figure.
The Marines look awesome too!
Hick's face just seems a tiny bit too thin. If it was filled out a bit I reckon it would be spot on. I'm still getting him though. And the alien... And one of the hudsons....
That Hudson is great, and the Alien rules.
That Hicks... ehh... the likeness is better on the McF one by a pretty wide margin. Maybe it's just that pic though, I dunno.
I'm getting the alien, a whole bunch of them!...and wait to see the helmeted marines and what they come with before i buy any of them...i will buy one marine of each character after i decide on variant.
now...BRING ON THE QUEEN.
and why do NECA never have any accessories with aliens? why not include the chestburster design from said film etc? facehugger? egg?. i feel we are still missing the chestbursters and stuff from each film. maybe a egg/hugger/burster pack?
The deacon does have extras: 2 hammerpedes and the decapitated engineer head.
A shame that none of the main aliens neca figures have had any extras though :P
Would be nice to have a facehugger and chestburster :) (maybe even an egg?)

yeh. include a egg, hugger and burster per alien. that would give us each alien we buy it's own lifecycle. it would be awesome, but will probably never happen :(

Man, I am so looking foward to the new Warrior Alien! I can't wait to see some of the poses we can put it in. The joints look like it can be put in some pretty insane positions. Hopefully it can do a "Wall Crawling" pose!
Hicks and Hudson seem to have different style knives
The hilts look the same to me, but the sheaths look like they might be different.
Hudson has the Gerber Mk. II
From twitter:
Q: Any chance or reissuing the AVPR facehugger/chestburster sculpts in the ALIENS line?
A: No, because they wouldn't be accurate to the Aliens movie. We would do new versions faithful to those looks
Q: Awesome, fingers are crossed! Perhaps an egg somewhere down the line too?
A: We've sculpted one or 2 already. More reveals come toy fair.

a terrible idea. but probably good profit for them. *sigh*. if i'm lucky its with a helmeted marine and an alien 2-pack. i plan to buy several warriors anyway
Im hopin the runner will be in the mix as well. Maybe a dead spike figure to go along with it so I can explain it to people when they see it :laugh:
as long as it includes a burster and possibly the super-hugger i'll be glad. a queen burster would be epic. i can't see where otherwise to include it unless they release ripley which i doubt they will. they can do a burster pack with bursters from all the films, but i doubt that too
They wont have the Runner with this collection. They want to do an Aliens Queen, though.
Alien 3 is next on their to do list, so we'll only see a Neca runner during 2014 maybe late 2013.
Hopefully a little bambi burster as well. (And a company commando)

THAT is some f**king good figure right here. Straight out of a production still, the paintjob and sculpt are incredibly accurate. Let's hope the final product is as good as the prototype -- even a bit worse would be good -- cos, damn.

Konami right?
Yep, I've got that figure (and all the other "Alien" creature figures from the line).
I am so hyped for the new Alien and Marines and Dutch figures. They come out next year right?

Yep. Konami can really sculpt some Alien stuff.
Especially at such a small scale.
The cool thing is, the Konami Dog Burster is still in pretty good scale with NECA's figures.
Can they be posed, btw? I saw that the konami figures arrive in "pieces" and some assembly is required... :laugh:
Really like the look of the konami runner. :)

No, unfortunately they don't have any articulation.
Oh well. Thanks for the info :)
Series 1 now available to pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store :)
They come in pieces, but they're not poseable. You assemble them and peg them on their base, and that's it.

I'm still hoping to see good close-up photos of Hicks' face, because I'm not convinced yet that they didn't f**k it up.

NO FACKING WAY. My giny is tingling already.
f**king A. Those look brilliant. I need to get a new shelf drilled into wall xD.
A queen?? I wonder if they'll do something similar to Mcfarlane's with a base. His hive victim was awesome and since its neca I'm sure they'd do it better
I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! Even I have the two alien queens by McFarlane, the big one from Movie Maniacs series and the one which its a diorama from the AVP series, a third one is more than welcome in my shelf.
About the Colonial Marines, hell yeah! Finally Neca did a good Michael Biehn resemblance!
This April my wallet gonna suffer a bunch!
Now Neca do Vasquez, Drake, Apone, Bishop, Ripley, the Weyland Yutani commandos from the end of Alien 3 and the Power Loader, after all Neca said in twitter there are few possibilities to do the last one BUT THERE´S STILLA POSSIBILITY; the last year Neca said there was a slight possibility to do the Alien queen this 2013, so when Neca says the "slight" word it means they are seriously considering.
That Hicks face sculpt isn't much better than the Kyle Reese one, ugh. I'll be sticking with my McFarlane one, at least that looks like Michael Biehn. :(
As sweet as those battle-damaged Aliens are, I hope I can get a blue one without its head blown off.
Awesome, I am going to have soooo many warrior Aliens.

I think the hicks sculpt is ok, not as good as the Hudson but not bad.
As of right now I've chopped up all my Mcfarlane Hicks's, and their heads have become "victims". One of them is a head bite victim, one is face hugged, and the other is a predator trophy (AVP10 inspired).
Have Neca mentioned anything about case ratios? I, like so many peole, am keen to get multiple alien warriors. How difficult is that going to be?

In this article NECA confirms that yes, they are working on a new version of the classic 1979 ALIEN. Also the helmeted versions of the Marines are going to be in the two-packs with the battle-damaged xenos.

YESH! :) My 1979 neca alien is a bit beat up... i'll buy the new one and make a new custom out of the one i already have... hmm :P
really glad to hear that they'll be releasing helmeted versions of these two relativity soon after the un-helmeted versions hit shelves. You just can't have them minus their helmets...it completes the look.

Tempted to wait for these. Do the 2 packs end up being well priced?
The only one I've bought was the Predator 2/cloaked Berserker set...and I want to say it was $35 or so? I'm sure someone will correct me, but it was around the price of buying two figures.
I also read last night that wave 2 will include a couple more marines, but now I can't find where I read it. THey also went into how they don't have the likeness rights for all the marines, and Ripley as well, but pointed out how long it took to get Arnold's rights, so they aren't giving up.

Two packs run for about $30 or so at toys are us, with tax I think its about $33
It works out so they're relatively the same as if u were buying 2 separate figures.
These people of Neca, is making many figures of the same characters, don´t you think?
that decides it, i'll be buying the two packs with helmeted marines and demaged xenos. and a couple of extra none-demaged xenos

I'm wondering if the aliens with those marines will have the option to be undamaged? Such as an interchangable head, and the spurting acid bits are removable?
Either way, I'll probably end up getting Hicks and Hudson only in the sets, and probably the Alien from the first wave. Maybe the Black one if he's not some hard to get exclusive or something.
I have a feeling the black Xeno will be a Toys R Us exclusive, like how the cloaked Jungle Hunter was.
What a disappointment. The only way to get a complete helmeted marine is to buy a battle damaged alien with it.
So, likeness rights is one thing...but for who ever they have, it's actually not that difficult to get most of the squad without making too many new pieces. Everyone obviously needs a new head, but the basic male body they have for Hicks and Hudson can be used for Frost, Wierzbowski, Crowe, and Apone. Ski could use the same arms as Hudson, the other other three would need a new set of arms with long sleeves. Drake could use the same legs, and the arms from Hicks, and Vasquez and Dietrich could probably use the same legs. Dietrich and Vasquez would both need new torsos and arms, and Drake would need a new torso as well. (assuming the armor is molded onto the bodies and not just glued on, I didn't even really look)
Gorman and Spunkmeyer might be able to use the same bodies as well.

Neca would never do that unfortunately.
From what I've read on thier Twitter, NECA's Aliens series 2 (due out after the two-packs) might contain, the blue version of the Alien Warrior, the Classic 1979 ALIEN, and an as of yet unannounced figure.
Who's hoping since they did the 3 Kenner figures that they remake some Kenner aliens? I'm way more fond of the Aliens line than of the Predator. Imagine a new snake, gorilla and wild boar done in a realistic style.

You know...I really enjoyed those early Kenner Aliens. I will never forget when they came out. That was the only toy I was collecting until the new star wars started in 95. But the Queen, the Gorilla, the Rhino, and the Scorpion ones were the first ones...and I was so excited about them. And they were utter crap! heh heh.

I still cannot find where I read, but last night I read something where they were saying more marines would be coming. So maybe that's the third figure.

It's being considered...
Nate Rider @JediN8
@NECA_TOYS since you've set the precedent with your amazing Kenner predator figures, does this mean we could get Kenner aliens? #bullalien
NECA @NECA_TOYS
@JediN8 possible but movies first. Predators is at Series 10 before we did something special like that. Glad you like them
Aweee yeah....
Wouldn't mind seeing what they do with a Mantis or Snake Alien, just for the detailing. If they remove the frill from the latter (and/or give arms), it'd be even better.

Oooooh snake alien with arms would look dynamite.
I apologize if this has already been answered further back in the thread but has NECA said anything about how many marines they're planning on doing? I must admit I wouldn't mind picking up a Crowe or Wierzbowski figure if they ever made them.

No, just that more are planned, but they don't have the likeness rights for all of them, yet.
I'd love to find out which ones they
don't have yet.
It'd be nice if they released a two pack with a Marine/Sentry Turret combo. They could make it an exclusive like they are supposedly doing with the black Alien variant, I'd fork out the money for that instantly.

Looking pretty good, but since I'm focusing on the Predators I'll buy them only if they're at retail.
Apparently, Goldstein and Weaver are the big hold outs, so (at least for now) no Vasquez or Ripley figures. (http://cooltoyreview.com/story/front/Toy_Fair_2013_A_Closer_Look_At_NECAs_2013_Offerings_150381.asp) Seriously, damn them.

Guess it depends on what you think. I believe all the ALiens were black with brown highlights? I'm sure someone can correct me here. But depending on how they were lit, sometimes they look all black, or even blue.
The props and costumes came in a lot of different colors in the movie, it depended on the ambient lighting while filming a given scene. There were some with brown, green, red, blue, and grey highlights, as far as I'm aware. I'm partial to the blue ones, personally. :)

That's unfortunate about Vasquez considering she's such an iconic character. If I was one of the exec's at NECA I would have though to make a two pack of her and Drake.
I still think they should make Drake, Apone and Bishop though. If a Drake or Apone is released then we would see the Smart Gun and the Flamethrower in 7 inch scale.
Don't understand why they don't sign their likeness over. Are they really that busy? Isn't it more money for them?

I doubt it has anything to do with being busy. With Weaver, I got the impression that it has something to do with how the deal with the Alien Resurrection figures was handled. Perhaps she was burned by it, and doesn't want to even bother again. With Goldstein, who knows? Maybe it's just something she has absolutely no interest in. Maybe the money Neca offered wasn't right.

According to what's been floating around on Twitter, Goldstein was unaware that NECA even wanted to make a figure of her. Seems her agent never let her know.
That's what people don't understand, you don't just look up Goldstein or Weaver and ask them directly...you have to go through their agent. Now, whether or not that agent passes on the info is not under NECA's control.
Some fans have contacted Goldstein through Twitter and Facebook and told her about NECA wanting to do an action figure. She said she would be very excited to do it and NECA and her are now in talks.
ooooooooooooh, sweet! Big fat right on!

I think the marine in series 2 is just Hudson with his alternate head:

I asked Randy about it:
Q: What happened with the "angry-hudson" figure? He will come in series 2?
A: That face/head will be in a helmet and included in the 2 Packs this Summer. Marines vs WarriorsSo, the third figure in series 2 is still a mistery ;D
Awesome, thank you!
Well...if I really had to guess, I'd say Wierzbowski, only because he's the only marine that can be made with simply a new head and paint job on an existing body (Hudson's).
Any one ask them which characters they do NOT have the rights for?
I hope the helmets are removable. I want a scared sh**less Hudson cowering under his helmet.
I get the impression that they are not.
That'd be unfortunate...means I'll have to hack some up with an exacto knife like I did with McFarlane's helmeted Hicks
This is NECA. They will make at least 3 variants of each marine. Its pathetic but it's the way it is.

I certainly hope that they are removable, lest we have to buy a different figure with a different expression just to get no helmet.At least with the Predators I can understand why it could be difficult to make removable face-masks that come on and off easily but I don't think an optional helmet would be such a difficult task (Not that I'd know)
Non-removable helmets force people to buy more. That's just the way it is. :-\
What a drag! :P So no Vaszquez, no Apone and no Drake at last for this summer.
It's not surprising. I wouldn't expect to see a Marine other than Hicks of Hudson before the holidays though. NEXT summer, sure, but not this summer.

Are all NECA figures in the same scale relative to each other? I'd love to set up Dutch, Hicks, Hudson, Gordon Freeman, Rambo and Apollo Creed (customized as Dillon) together as the universe's least likely extraterrestrial-hunting team.

Yes, they are all the same scale.
That sounds cool and all...but I'm too much of a stickler. To me it'd be weird having Dutch and Dillon shooting Aliens with Hicks and Hudson. I was tempted to do customs, but trying to make them look like Frost, Apone, etc. But I'm too lazy and don't want to waste money if they end up putting out real ones anyway.
I was considering getting an extra Hudson to have getting his face wrecked by an Alien's inner jaw....or possibly with a facehugger hugging his face.

I'm bummed that they're releasing the "game over, man" version first. Don't get me wrong, they captured it perfectly, but I don't really want a scene-specific version of the colonial marines. I'd rather they both have more normal faces. Hicks, however, is a must-buy.

Anyone else think that guy kinda looks like Tom Hanks?
I think he kinda looks like Bill Paxton, personally.
no no, he looks like that guy in The Terminator w/ the tire tracks on his face and kinda like the guy that tried to force Commando to land his plane! And swear to God, if he had a mustache-he'd look exactly like that guy in True Lies that pissed his pants a couple times.
Can't wait for these guys! I think I'm gonna get Hicks w/out the helmet and Hudson w/ the helmet. I think they had the most screen time w/ that combo.
or that guy in that film about a big boat that sinks AND that dude thats chasing after spinny things in the sky! - i see what u mean now dude.!
and not forgetting this:

Totally digging these pictures! I'm running to Toys R Us and scooping them up soon as possible!
Pre ordering online is actually a little cheaper if you shop around for these.
I'd pre-order if there wasn't the risk that the paint would be f**ked up or something stupid.

or u order a NECA hicks and get a mcfarlane one instead lol
I've already got a McF one and I like it a lot - I'm planning on seeing the NECA one in person before I decide to buy it, because so far the pics haven't instilled me with a lot of confidence.
I bet you'll like the NECA Hicks better......
lol the McFarlane Hicks has bigger biceps than Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Face it, NECA's Hicks is Michael Biehn and Mcfarlane's Hicks, excuse me, who the hell is he?
I'm gonna go ahead and guess that English isn't your first language?
Also you say "face it" a lot :laugh:

in my opinion, perfect grammar is irelevant as long as the readers get the point of whatever you, me or anyone else is trying to say. i honestly hate grammar police myself, not only because im swedish and tend to do mistakes, but cus its annoying. as you said, this is not a academic journal
Whoa whoa whoa I wasn't correcting anyone by any means haha. Calm down my man. I hate grammar police as well. it's just that the way you speak internetally(?) is confusing that's all.
The likeness for the McF Hicks is pretty dead on and actually looks like Michael Biehn.
The NECA one... not so much. Maybe it's better in person, but the pics so far don't give me much hope (especially since the likeness on their Kyle Reese was pretty shit as well).
Well the two for sure things neca's version has on its side are more accurate paint color/camo design and pose-ability.
The mcfarlane Hicks looks like "generic white soldier nº15542. The Neca one aint perfect but it sure looks a lot more like Michael Biehn. :P
Is it even possible that someone thinks that the mcfarlane Hicks looks even remotely similar to Michael Biehn? Am I missing something here?

Hey man. We prefer the term "European American" nowadays...
I don't know why but to date I've never seen any company nail Michael Biehn's likeness perfectly yet although Neca has done a pretty good job it still doesn't look exactly him.Regardless unless Hot Toys decides to revisit their Aliens licence it's as good a Hicks figure I'll ever pick up.
The NECA Hicks' nose is too thin.
Man, aren't we lucky NECA is doing these at all?.....I think so...

+1
Neca's doing Helmeted and un-helmeted versions, so if Hick's nose is a tad to thin i can completely not care :)
I think Michael's signature facial characteristics are only going to be so accurate in a single expression. Meaning, I believe so much of his look is due to his movement when he talks and moves his eyes, if that makes sense. Like Arnold doesn't move his face hardly at all in the Terminator films, has strong bone structure, and you can freeze frame him on any movie and it always looks like Arnold. I have never hit pause on Michael, but I bet only certain key characteristics are present at one time. And if you were to try and combine, say, an intense Michael Biehn eye expression, with a intense Michael Biehn mouth expression, & ect....it may look really weird in one solid frozen expression on a figure.
That's my thoughts!
i just hope they do at least a couple more marines to got with hicks and hudson\,.the likeness on hicks looks fine to me.
I can't wait to see when we get a Marine figure with a Smart Gun. Probably O'Neal.

I asked NECA via facebook if they had plans to tackle the characters from the game. At the time they said no (this was prior to the games release)
Fortunately, with most of the marines, they'll be able to re-use the same base body (and maybe change the arms for a few), which means that Vasguez, Drake and Dietrich are the least likely to be made as their uniform or body is different. I figure they'll risk it and go for Vasguez because she can be released twice (smartgunner and ops) and is one of the most iconic characters.
What I'm really hoping for is at least one smartgunner and a guy with a flamethrower (Frost or Apone would be cool).

Moreso than NECA's attempt (http://jeffreyklyles.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/aliens-hicks-michael-biehn-from-neca.jpg), as far as I'm concerned.
To each his own, I'm preferring Neca's version myself.

I don't agree but that's fine. There are times when each of see what we want to see. It's not just the face that I don't see a resemblance but it's the body as well = massive biceps. It's just a figure no reason to argue over it... BTW I know you are not arguing over it. Glad you enjoy your mcfarlane Hicks ;D
Im jus happy that there are coloinal marine figures its jus a bonus for the iconic characters hope too see more of them in the future. ;D

You know, way back when the Colonial Marine figures were first confirmed, I coulda swore they said they were doing ones from the games too. Guess I was wrong. Not really that bothered, haven't played the game yet, and I'm happy with just the movie ones. Not to say I wouldn't buy the game ones if they did them, I totally would.
i'm just glad if they expand at least one or two more characters in addition to hicks and hudson. just two characters are too few, but 3-4 characters are enough for a nice squad display at least. and indeed a smartgun among these would be epic!.
but still, having Hudson out of all the marines is like a dream. Hudson was my most wanted marine to begin with

I'm hoping for at least a Vasquez, Drake, Apone and Frost, though I'm sure that many won't happen. Vasquez would be my first choice of those 4, as she's abit more iconic. I heard NECA were pursuing the likeness rights to more, so fingers crossed.
Same here, I've been wanting Hudson ever since I first saw him on the screen when I was like 4. Been my most wanted figure for a long ass time. Just hoping they do a helmeted one with a cocky kinda smirk of sorts pre-Xeno encounter.
Yeah, as Hicks, Hudson, and Vasquez are the last three (of the Marines who have actiony stuff anyway), they would be the most ideal.
I hope we see a Drake/Vas two pack. Drake's armor could be detachable and he would probably come with both the flame thrower and the smart gun.
If they released Apone I think it'd only be fair he came with both the pulse rifle and the flame thrower
I believe I read that the actor who portrayed Apone is against his likeness being used for a figure. Is that correct?
Haven't there been several Apone figures over the years? Has he reversed his consent?
To be honest, I really couldn't care less if they look like the actors. I just want some marines.
Dunno...I don't know why he wouldn't, he's in a video game after all
Hot Toys did one (even though it looks NOTHING like him)

I'd buy that in a heartbeat, but knowing NECA they'd probably just do a seperate figure of Drake in non-armor with the flamethrower, which I'm totally okay with, saves me the trouble of buying two of the packs to have another displayed without it.
I'd hope Apone included both of those, I don't see why he wouldn't. From the looks of it we're getting a good amount of accessories with each figure.(Shoulder lamps, motion trackers, welders, Pulse Rifles, Hicks' Ithaca 37 and scabbard and possibly more I've forgotten)

I haven't read anything like that - quite the contrary, actually. Shit, he lent his voice and likeness to the Colonial Marines videogame.
I thought I'd actually read it on here, but maybe I'm simply misremembering the quote.

Nope, that was separate in my head. I thought it was her, and Apone. I'm too lazy to go looking now, but it was definitely about the guy who played Apone. So the part I may be misremembering was about his feelings about a figure.
vasquez and drake are my #1 wants ,hope neca can finally at some point get the likeness rights.
So, does anyone know what the single carded Hicks will include? From what I've seen the two pack would be the one with the shotgun/scabbard since it would be accurate to the scene with his helmet, and he includes the head explosion Xeno. But, the pics I saw of wave one showed him with the shotgun, then the toy fair pics showed him with only the Pulse Rifle. Anybody know exactly what he comes with?

I'm guessing Rolsten and Goldstein will for sure sign their's over. They definatly seem to enjoy the movies and love the fans and such. I don't see why they wouldn't. Fingers crossed we'll have both by next Summer.
I'm really hoping the two-pack Hicks comes with both weapons, especially since they seem to load up the two-packs with extra accessories.
Me too, and I hope he has a shoulder lamp. I dunno what they include, but none of them so far have been completely accurate to one scene, which is kinda a downer. I may just take all the accesories off of them and put them on the helmeted Hicks and have the unhelmeted one with the Pulse Rifle, but hopefully I won't have to do that.
In regards to Neca pursuing likeness rights is there anybody among the marines who they may actually have some difficulty obtaining? All of the actors who played them have all spoken positively about the film and guys like Ricco Ross are actually quite proud to be forever associated with the film so they probably wouldn't mind signing their likeness over.
Only one I can really think of is Crowe because Tip Tipping unfortunately passed away some time ago and his likeness rights may be a tad harder to get (I would assume).

I'm new to NECA, so I'm a little shocked by how obvious some of the repacking is. They seem to be using subtle variants and accessories to really exploit fans. It looks like we'll have to buy 2 of the exact same figure (bar the head) to be complete (I bet helmeted Hudson won't have something that game over version has) and these guys aren't exactly cheap. At least with the 4 Dutch figures, you can make the case that they're different outfits and not just a headswap. I wish both marines came with the same stuff and it was just about choosing which headsculpt you liked most.
As much as it pains me, I may just wait and see what's coming later, as I don't want to find out that series 4 or 5 has yet another Hicks which comes with something else and could be better. This sort of attempt to get me buying 2 figures rather than being able to choose which variant I like most isn't endearing.
Goddammit Ive said it before and Ill say it again. WHERE WERE ALL OF YOU WHEN I WAS ARGUING WITH SABRES ABOUT NECAS SHITTY VARIANT EXPLOITS!? :laugh:
Seriously tho, if somethings missing on a figure, theres more than likely gonna be a variant of it.

They just have to contact his surviving relatives. Was he married? A widow can sign off on that kinda thing.
I think the absolute deepest Neca would go into the squad is Frost and Dietrich, Crowe and Wierzbowskie didn't have much screen time.

Oh, no doubt. I know they'd never include EVERYTHING with one figure, which is a disappointing, but a fact of life. I'd just like to know what the hell the plan on giving each one. With the marines I don't mind buying the variants of each figure and having doubles, but with the Predators and other lines it really pisses me off at times.

Crowe and Ski I can live without, but I really hope we get Frost, Dietrich and Ferro as far as minor characters go. And even Spunk would be cool. I'd much rather have them over the other two. I wonder if NECA plans on doing Gorman, Burke or Bishop. I'd love them. And a small Newt maybe as a Ripley accesory in place of her Pulse/Flamethrower combo if she's really all that fussed about it having a weapon.

Yeah, a two pack based on Genocide. Really didn't expect figures based on that comic, like ever.
Must have!
Woah...red Xeno. Badass.
Aw wicked! That, fighting the red samurai predator must be a pain for the eyes, though. :D
And AngryJoe from Youtube has always suggested a Genocide style multiplayer mode for an Alien game, red vs black. God damn, please, someone do this sometime in the future.

Genocide <3
LOVED the comics, but it doesn't translate as well into figure form.
Shit I just made a topic about the genocide aliens than came here. Pretty cool I guess even tho they're just another variant.
Red doesn't suit ALIEN.
The new warrior in overall though looks impressive. will buy.
Hopefully the final figure quality won't stray to far from whats shown.

Blimey, never would have expected to see a figure based on Genocide! They've missed a trick by not basing them explicitly on Damon Willis' artwork, but I approve of the move nonetheless. An entire line based upon the DH line could through up some real gems, not that it'll ever happen!

That would take effort on NECAs part.
Just got the notification from BBTS about that set. Very cool, but something I'll have to skip.
Link says we'll have to wait till October for the helmeted/final battle Hudson, bummer. I'd rather wait that long for the genocide pack.
The link also says there'll be two series of Aliens figures + the 3 two packs, I wonder what series two will have

Same here, really want that Hudson! Pretty sure series 2 includes an un-named marine, new mold Big Chap and the blue variant Xeno. Not sure who the marine will be, NECA said on Twitter no more Hicks variants, just the two, so possibly an Ultimate Badass Hudson or Frost maybe.

Oh, in that case I'll have to pick up the helmeted 2-pack then, though I'll probably cave in well before August and get the other version! I could possibly sell the battle-damaged alien on.

I'm genuinely excited by who the mystery third marine could be. I'm going to bet that it's Frost (as you suggest) and that he comes helmeted and with a flamethrower.
On another note, what is all this blue, black and brown stuff for the aliens? I've always considered them black in Alien and Aliens, am I missing something here? They might look blue in some scenes due to the general colour tone but then aren't they also tinged red due to the lighting in ops by that logic?

I'm really looking forward to seeing some Alien figs based on the comics, games and old Kenner figs.
It'd be hilarious if they made figures based off of Kenner toys like the King Alien, Flying Alien Queen, etc.; mostly cause it would drive so many other fans mad. :laugh:
My first guess is the same figures we're gonna be getting soon just with numbers on their head. Screams NECA.

Lol yeah, numbers 1 to 100 xD note that I still LOVE Neca, but they do release a ridiculous amount of slightly varied versions of the same mould :P
Can't wait!!! I love what NECA is doing here. To paraphrase the famous Jaws line...
"We're gonna need a bigger shelf!"
Being completely honest, I'll be getting the initial Warrior, and this two pack.
Being even more honest, I would buy a #6 figure from AvP2010.

I'd buy thay, or a Six figure from AvP2010.
I'd buy a number 6, I'd defiantly buy a Rookie and a Dark (ancient mask version) while we're talking about it

Yeah, a figure of the Dark Pred wearing the ancient mask would be awesome!
i'm sticking to movie version only myself, but i'm glad their doing comic version too, for those who want them.
I think I will end on passing on the Two packs. I'd rather put money towards an Hicks, Hudson, and one Alien and then ultimately the Queen. Rather then have 2 variants of of Hicks and Hudson and a couple color variants of Xenos, Besides I already have a couple Aliens
Mcfarlane Alien Resurrection Alien
Mcfarlane Alien figure "original"
Neca Chet Predalien
Neca Aliens figure "original"
Neca Deacon (if he even counts as a Xenomorph lol)
The funny thing is that according to the Aliens Genocide novelization, humans aren't even supposed to be able to tell the difference between the normal and the red strain of Xenomorph; only the Aliens themselves can.

I realized that only halfway through the comic, he only made them red so the reader can distinguish them. The red vs black the reader see's kind of reinforces the idea that they're bugs

NECA has said they only have the two Hicks figures planned, so if I were you I'd take the plunge and go for one of these ones. These may wind up being in the $30+ range on Ebay later on.
Oh, in that case I'll have to pick up the helmeted 2-pack then, though I'll probably cave in well before August and get the other version! I could possibly sell the battle-damaged alien on.
Quote from: Mickey on Mar 13, 2013, 06:30:30 PM
Same here, really want that Hudson! Pretty sure series 2 includes an un-named marine, new mold Big Chap and the blue variant Xeno. Not sure who the marine will be, NECA said on Twitter no more Hicks variants, just the two, so possibly an Ultimate Badass Hudson or Frost maybe.
I'm genuinely excited by who the mystery third marine could be. I'm going to bet that it's Frost (as you suggest) and that he comes helmeted and with a flamethrower.
On another note, what is all this blue, black and brown stuff for the aliens? I've always considered them black in Alien and Aliens, am I missing something here? They might look blue in some scenes due to the general colour tone but then aren't they also tinged red due to the lighting in ops by that logic?
I'm hoping Frost comes with his flamethrower, pistol, ammo bag and helmet. I'm betting should we get him he'll have all of that. Definatly excited to see who it is though.
Each alien had different highlights on the suit on the movie, to give it a different effect I guess. There was brown, blue, red, green and others. If you look at the pics of the figures you'll see there was an all black, a brown tinted and a blue tinted(Though the only one we've seen of him has his head getting blown to kingdom come.), which will be in the series 2.
LOL the face on the Hudson action figure. They really nailed it!

Damn, that looks sweet. Only I wish they'd put quotes on the side pannels like they have on other figures. It'd be awesome to have Hudson's say 'Game over, man!' and Hicks say 'Stay Frosty' or 'It's game time!' on the side. Nothing to get fussed over though.
I love how scared he looked! They nailed it! Game over, man. Game over!

To be fair in the lettercol for the comic the editor points out that the visual difference between the Aliens is for the reader's benefit, and that the characters themselves can't actually tell them apart and that the Aliens aren't literally bright red. The novelization version of Genocide makes that a lot clearer.
can't wait to see some pictures of the queen.

I'm not buying that. This thing will at least be $80 bucks. It's the size of the 1/4 scale Preds, if not bigger. Plus, they're charging $70 for the trophy wall with only one trophy. My guess is this will be around $100.

$70 dollars is probably their online price for the Trophy Case. I'm seen online prices get bumped up higher then retail store prices. The store I work at has the Trophy Case listed as 52.00 in are inventory. I doubt it will be under $50 or over $100. i agree it will probably be close on par with the 1/4 Predator in the high $70 to $80.

That's a relief to hear the Trophy room will be around $50. I'll pay that. $70 was just ridiculous.
My guess for the Queen was $80-90, now I'm leaning towards $80. I'm guessing they will include those new Alien eggs shown, or maybe a base of some kind. if they do, I'm hoping they don't bump the price up too high.
Ordered the Trophy wall from a local store at around $50usd(that is $398 hkd), but the shopkeeper said the wall would be made of PVC instead of ABS , which means that may be broken easily and told me in advance even if that was broken during the transport, that will be my responsibility to accept that. I ordered it anyway.

That Queen was sculpted by Kyle Wyndrix, who does the sculpting for NECA.
But, that is an OLD sculpt that he did to show that he could sculpt the Queen, it was done YEARS ago.
That IS NOT the new Queen figure that NECA plans on releasing this year.
FYI
The current issue of Horrorhound # 40 mentions the Neca Colonial Marine figures on page 26.

they actually said" Dog - Maybe late in '14. Kenner homages possible but much later. Movies come first & much to do there " unless somewhere else that its confirmed cause maybe they could just pass it up cause im sure its based on how well the line does so far predators been pretty good but for aliens and prometheus they have to wait and see the sales before pushing on.

The hot toys one was a very good attempt... but the teeth... humm :/

You'd have to expect the Boiler before any Crusher or Spitter, new sculpts be danged.
It's more similar to the existing Warrior Sculpt, they'd just have to add the giant boils, and albino paint.

I'll second that - the character model was cool, it was the animation that was goofy shit.
I see. why does everyone hate these variants of the xenos i personally liked the crest look on the spitter and crusher its just the boiler wasnt as appealing to me.
The mp walking animation doesnt look like that if i remembered when i played as one. i was walking differently than the sp ones

just being honest but to me there isnt much different looks between them i mean maybe like 4 different ones even shown if it wasnt for the variants i dont think the alien line could even continue.
I think people hate the boiler because it serves no purpose in the hive (if it's even part of the hive, they seemed like they where outcasts to me). People "hate" the spitter because it has glowing green sacks on its head, which is a bit stupid no matter how you twist it. I liked everything about the spitter except that.

Well, the more I examine the aliens from colonial marines the more they seem like Termites (the spitter is like a nasute, and the warriors are like soldier termites, the queen like..well a queen etc), especially the boiler. When termites get old they turn white (like the boiler) and they go all kamikaze on attacking animals, blowing themselves up and releasing noxious acid (though not as dramatically as the boilers :P ). And even if Aliens don't age, it would make sense that if they were severely injured they'd do the same, and make use of themselves instead of just dying uselessly.

I noticed alot of people saying the likeness seems off on Hicks, and I was browsing through some pictures of the figures and stumbled upon this one: (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.bloody-disgusting.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F02%2Faliens-3.jpg&hash=3a2425cc7ff51dbc28f8c5f25b5b2c44cac2377e)
I swear that looks exactly like Michael Biehn. I remember a specific scene where Hicks made that very face. Personally, I think it's one of the best Biehn likenesses out there, especially in the 7 inch range.

Agreed. Now for the rest of em...
Also, I wouldn't mind seeing figures made from Aliens: Colonial Marines. I tend to think that even the movies that aren't as popular, like AvPR, A:R, and Predator 2, still have an upside for those who didn't like the movie but like the franchises overall and that's the figures and busts made from the characters in those movies.
I'd like to buy figures of those 2 black kids whose roles were ENTIRELY cut from AvP:R. :laugh:

i have no problems with the likeness. out of the ones made this one is the best, i'm just glad we get a new hicks and a hudson at that
Agreed. Now for the rest of em...
Also, I wouldn't mind seeing figures made from Aliens: Colonial Marines. I tend to think that even the movies that aren't as popular, like AvPR, A:R, and Predator 2, still have an upside for those who didn't like the movie but like the franchises overall and that's the figures and busts made from the characters in those movies.
I aske right before A:CM released via facebook and Neca said they didn't have any plans to release an A:CM related figure (I even mentioned how they'd already licensed a gearbox game before. That being said I'd love to see a Winter and O'Neil after we got the helmeted Hicks/Hudson and a Vasquez/Apone/Drake.
AVP:R, A:R and Predator 2 didn't really have many memorable human characters imo, Predator 2 had the most with Harrigan and Bill Paxton's character. The xeno's in those films didn't have much going for them either, except for Grid from AVP1.
It would be nice to have a Kane figure :P in space suit. with egg and facehugger ;)
I like the Hicks figure ^^ Also the new alien models are pretty good with the new articulation :)

I wouldn't mind getting a few of the A:CM Marines, just to have a few extra characters in the mix. After we get Hudson/Hicks/Vas/Drake/Apone/Frost of course. I'd get Jerry & Harrigan for sure, but I think they already said no P2 humans, which is a shame. I'd get a Grid Alien for sure, it'd be cool to have some other battle damaged Xenos with the missing tails and such that Chopper & Celtic fought. It makes me want Celtic to have a net that can be wrapped around Grid and the grating of the net can be slotted in the gaps in his face. Not sure if it'd work and look good, but I think it's a cool concept.

That'd make a nice box set. Maybe they'll do it once they finish the Aliens stuff.
Only three marines survived the initial hive discovery. Hicks, Hudson and Vasquez.
We've got 2/3... now we need Vasquez. Need. Well, I need anyway.

Hasn't been ruled out though...
Neca said by Twitter they hope to make Vazquez and Drake figures for next year, so there´s still hope.

Well, no one, I mean NO ONE, including sideshow has been allowed to use Sigourny's likeness, or get the rights to use it, so yeah. And I'm with you on getting a bishop figure though, he's one of the best characters in Aliens, and with Lance's enthusiasm towards the alien franchise I don't see why they haven't made a figure of him yet ???
And he fits in several franchise too ;D
In fact even Hot Toys didn´t have the blessing from the actress self, so I guess Lance wouldn´t mind if Neca or other do a figure based in his character. In fact if he played two roles in that sh&tty game called ACM, I think he would give his authorization to Neca.
I hope NECA goes balls deep in the Alien franchise and maybe pulls a Hannibal and gets Weaver to play ball.
When are these figures due to come out? The website says April 2013, but I'm starting to wonder if its not exactly accurate....

April 28th for the Alien Warrior. I'm gonna guess the same for the marines.
April 28th is the release....so I'd expect people start receiving them in mid May

My money's on Frost. I heard Al Matthews turned Neca down, but maybe I heard wrong. I'd love to get either of them.
Didn't Deitrich and Frost have flamethrowers, too?
Knowing Neca, it's gonna be Hudson or Hicks NOW WITH FLAMETHROWER ACTION FOR THE SAME PRICE U PAID THE FIRST TIME!

Q: insanely cool! Can't wait to see who uses it!
A: thanks, us too. We have something in mind but if the licensing doesn't work we can always do a generic army builder Marine

A: they're all licensed just may not be able to get talent rights for a specific likeness in time for this S2 figure
Q: omg please let that be a hint on Ripley or Vasquez!
A: neither at this time, sorry
Q: Apone?
A: that would be nice, trying. talent/likeness issue
So, i think they want to do Apone, but if he doesnt want they will make a "generic marine" that looks like Apone 8)
A generic army-builder marine would be awesome. I could customize my own special team for Hicks, and just pretend the events of Alien3 didn't happen.

Man, this is some BS. Seems like everything is getting pushed back these days. The new Predator wave was due out May, now it's saying June. Wonder what's up with Neca.
I hope Neca make not only marines. Bishop was a smart charakter too.
Currently, ill use Stephen Lang's Avatar 7" figure as the leader of the colonial marine.

Pics or it didn't (won't) happen :P
If you follow NECA on facebook they released a calander listing all of the releases set for the next 30 days. The Marines and Warrior weren't on the list. According to NECA they've been pushed back because there where some "last minute improvements" that needed to be done. They didn't give a new release date.

"@RobotsPJs like a Jones plush? A small Jones figure? Maybe next year"
"@NECA_TOYS Randy you think aside from the 3 awesome Preds we will see a Alien Warrior designed from the film+Grid Alien 4 them 2 fight? :)"
"@MattStefiuk eventually yes but not within the Predators line. In the Aliens line or Aliens asst"
"@NECA_TOYS is Bishop a possibility for the Aliens line?"
"@ZombiNosh yes he is" 8)
Yes, I like jones the cat too. Aoshima/ skynet had one of that excellent cat but that is extremely expensive now on eBay. Really hope Neca can give us one
There's also the teeny tiny little Jones in his cat carrier in the Micro Machines Action Fleet Narcissus.

:) :) I see something bright for this 2014.
Very hopeful for more Colonial Marines but tbh, Bishop wouldn't be as exciting to me. He's a crucial character and I love Lance Henrikson but I'd rather have Drake or Frost, just because they would come with weaponry and, in staying true to character, Bishop wouldn't. He plays a support role rather than a combat role. I guess I would be more excited if he's coming with a breakable mid-section :)
Thats all nice to hear, but we still don't have a solid release date for the newest Aliens wave :/

Urge to kill...rising...
Someone put me in a coma till the release date..
Bishop made my day. also the avp aliens is proof that they at least consider doing all alien variants much like they do with preds
The question is would u buy a "Grid" alien if it was one of the new warriors coming out with the Grid design (including cut of tail tip)? Basically the "Aliens" body with the grid markings.

Wouldn't it make more sense to re-use the Big Chap dome-skull instead of the ridged one, at least to keep it more like the film?
Though what you're saying is actually a really cool idea anyways....
Also, didn't we hear about possible Dog Alien further down the line? Thats the head I'd imagine they'd use as a base, given the mouth structure is more in-line with the Resurrection/AVP style of xeno.
Ya know what, I don't know why I even thought the warrior would be reused when NECA has done the drone. Smooth head would make more sense :laugh:
It would be better to use a Resurrection mouth for the dog alien but its design is strong enough to warrant a new sculpt. The Mcfarlane one is cool and all but it's movie accuracy is horrible.
the avp aliens are almost identical to the resurrection warriors except that they do not have the chicken legs. releasing a res warrior and repaint it's parts with new legs are the most accurate way to do it. i have no clue why neca would want to screw accuracy up. except for the elders plasma laser issue.
They aren't just "almost identical", they're literally the same props and suits but without the satyr legs. ADI re-used the costumes and props between A:R and AvP.
I know guys Im just giving a what-if figure wise.
Dats all!
as long as we get the queen, i'll die happy.

Glorious!
That egg looks perfect. I wonder how they are going to release them...
Each marine comes in a 2-pack with an alien. Marines get guns, aliens get eggs.
Not a 3-packs combo like Dutch's ?
3- pack combo? U mean like sold separately? I'm sure NECA will sell them on their own after the initial launch. Knowing NECA there will be at least 3 different versions of each one.
3 hicks? 3 Hudson? Oh, what the hell!
Even Dutch I hadn't got all 4 of them, the marines? I think I'll just buy the one which I like most
That's the way I look at it too my man. Just get the one u like best and all is golden.
How about you get all of them and just keep the one you like and destroy the other two to make a custom marines ;) thats what im doin

Those look AMAZING. Loving everything, except for Hicks alt. head. I REALLY hope that isn't the helmeted head. From the looks of it it's supposed to be the one with his headset on. Hopefully the helmeted one has a neutral face.

Weren't we just joking how there would be variants of a helmeted and non-helmeted version?

Dammit, NECA. You had one job...
James Cameron : Cut! Michael and bill, you two are overacting in the helmet!! No need to show that hard with your mouth wide open
The aggressive faces are not as awesome as I had hoped. I won't pass judgement though until I see more pics.
I assume that the only versions of Hicks and Hudson are going to be the un-helmeted releases and the two packs? Anyone know?

Awhile ago NECA said on Twitter we're only getting the two Hicks for now, however not sure on Hudson. I hope we get a smirking face one down the road.
And based on the screen image, the next marine will be Apone?
What screen image?
The one which the prototype was scripting and the computer screen image on the top right hand corner.
Click on the link above and that is one of the images shown scripting the new marine
"This is rumor control, here are the facts:"
Aliens Series One:
Hicks w/ closed mouth will be in series one. He will NOT have a helmet on, he will have a Pulse Rifle, Shotgun, Shotgun Holster, & (welder?).
Hudson w/ Game Over Man face will be in series one. He will NOT have a helmet on, he will have a Pulse Rifle, Motion Tracker, & (Hack Tool?).
Aliens Warrior will be in series one. He will have BROWN highlights.
There will be no 3-Pack in series one. (Dunno where that came from). There will be no 2-packs in series one. These 3 characters will be sold individually.
Planned date: June 2013
Marines vs. Aliens 2-Packs:
Hicks vs Warrior. Hicks will have a helmet on w/ open yelling mouth. Alien will have BLUE highlights and shotgunned head.
Planned date: August 2013
Hudson vs Warrior. Hudson will have a helmet on w/ open yelling mouth. Alien will have BROWN highlights w/ shot up torso.
Planned date: October 2013
Aliens vs Aliens 2-Pack:
Black Warrior vs. Red Warrior. This will be the ONLY way to get a ALL BLACK warrior in 2013. This is the Genocide comic book inspired 2-pack.
Planned date: June 2013
Aliens Series 2:
Aliens Warrior with BLUE highlights.
HR Giger 1979 Original Alien.
Colonial Marine. He will include Flamethrower and the character is TBA.
Release date: TBA
There are 13 Aliens figures planned to come out in 2013.
3 Figures in Series One
3 Figures in Series Two
4 Figures in Marines vs. Aliens 2-Packs
2 Figures in Aliens vs. Aliens 2-Pack
1 Alien Queen
Those are the facts.
These are too cool. If they end up releasing figures of everyone, including the more obscure characters like Wierzbowski and Crowe...I'm definitely in.
Since the actor who played Crowe has since passed away, who would NECA even ask about likeness rights? Next of kin?
I'm not really sure they'd have to ask anyone. His family doesn't own his likeness nor would they really have any right to be compensated for its use.

Honestly, I am pretty disappointed about how they did the helmet thing. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the way these figures look, they've been my two most wanted figures since I was a child, but this isn't exactly the way I'd want to have them. Since they aren't removable helmets, I think they should have the yelling Hicks head with a headset on, and give us an alt. head with a nuetral face &helmet. As for Hudson, him I don't mind as much. The yelling face will look great with the helmet, since that's pretty much how he was facing Xenos(When he actually had a weapon, anyway.), but I still hope they do another variant with his smirk and hopefully another Hicks. And Sexypoot, you can spare me the whole 'it's neca, of course they'll do the variants' speel, however, it would be reassuring this time. :laugh:

I only briefly mentioned series 2. I was just goin to wait to post it's details of who was in it until they were all announced. But yeah, blue Aliens Warrior, 1979 Big Chap,and one marine with a flamethrower! Can't wait! Post updated as well!
The figures in those pictures look bigger than 7" scale. Unless the McFarlane facehugger scale is off, which it doesn't seem to be given the other 7" stuff I've compared it to. I'm probably wrong though

I think those are the larger scale models they use for convention displays and stuff.
Cant wait for the new Giger Alien! :)

Neca itself said there´s a chance it would be Apone, so I guess it´s one of the surprises that are held for this next San Diego Comic Con
If Michael Biehn and bill Paxton would appear in SDCC for their figures' signature that would be perfect. Although i am in Hong Kong and won't be there, seeing them reunited for their avatars are memorial for Aliens fans like me.
QuotePeople this is not confirmed information. I'm hopeful that it turns out to be Apone, but they haven't announced yet who it is.
Gimme a break. It's Apone. The other possibilities are Frost, Dietrich, or Wierzbowski. Not happening. :-*
EDIT:
Not happening first at least.
And based on the photo image, yes, it is Apone. Ultra excited to know that if Al Matthews would appear at the SDCC and sign the agreement with NECA for his likeliness right for the fig. (Just my fantasy)
Hudson! Just relax!
Again I'm hopeful that it's Apone, I want a figure of him. The point of my post was to be a nice reference of facts for anyone looking to skip all the suggestions, assumptions, and possibilities of the line and just get the current status. And the current status is that Al hasn't signed off and NECA said they would do generic marines for army building if they had too. I'm not saying it won't be him, it probably will be. It's just not confirmed yet

Thanks tribal!
Well, that's extremely lame unless it's one of the other characters from the film.
Yeah, randy said its very special.... Dunno what that means... Movie character, dutch's head lol, Randy's head haha, wtf does special mean? Seriously, it prolly hicks or hudson w battle damage. Like acid burns on armor and skin. We'll all just have to wait and see.

Maybe it is Vasquez. She would be the next likely figure.
I´ve read in this same post Jeanette Goldstein doesn´t ave any trouble to see a Vasquez figure, in fact Neca could include as accessories her flamethrower, pistol and obviously her smart gun.
I hope the series 2 Marine figure is a generic Marine with a helmet, I'd buy a whole squads worth.

I pray that it is 8)
Probably not, in the article it refers the new marine as "HE", and the prototype figure Is a male body also
You'd think that it'd be easier to get likenesses for some of the smaller characters who aren't recognized as much where as the bigger named ones (like Hicks) would be tougher since they carry more weight in popularity and would probably ask for more money or be too restrictive.
I really do hope they can get their hands on the likeness rights to do as many of the Marines as possible!
The fact that NECA has released an entire line of characters who make a 30 second appearance in their film (the Predator 2 figures) would lead me to believe they'd go to similar lengths to release actual characters from Aliens and not some "generic" figure, which I'm surprised that everyone seems so eager to get. You all have that much faith in your abilities to customize things, or you really just want an anonymous Colonial Marine that badly? ???
I mean...to each his own, but that baffles me.
If it's not Apone, then it would either be Frost, Dietrich, or Wierzbowski...or even Drake. Vazquez never uses a flamethrower...or am I having a brain fart?

Personally, I'd much rather get the actual characters than some generic marines. Sure, I'd buy generic marines if they were made, but I'd much rather get the actual characters first.
Vasquez, to my knowledge never had a flamethrower, just her smart gun, Pulse rifle and S&W sidearm.
Well if the unannounced figure has a flamethrower and it's not Apone then it's got to come down to either Frost or Drake because I'm inclined to think they're more likely to release a popular character and see how well they sell before they make someone more obscure like Dietrich or Wierzbowski.

I'd rather have Drake rather than Apone, Frost or Dietrich. With Drake there's always a chance to get a smart gun
I'd hope that if Drake was released it would take more than a chance for him to have a smartgun. :o
I hope it's drake.

Series 1 will def be well sold. ;)
Honestly, if it was Wierzbowski I'd be way more inclined to shell out money. I've met Ross, I've met Rolston, I've met Scott. If it isn't going to be Matthews, which is frankly plain stupid, then I'll spend my money on Steedman.

Yep.
Neca was trying make a Apone figure, but they dont have the rights for his specific likeness, so i think they will change the face and release a generic marine instead.
They said this a month ago:
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=42121.msg1671405#msg1671405 (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=42121.msg1671405#msg1671405)
8)
A lot can change in a month, and as far as the tweet goes it could be purposeful false information. They could be keeping it a "Secret" until SDCC or something else.
I'm probably wrong though, but I'm still saying its Apone given the image, the regular armor on the prototype and the flame thrower. If it turns out to be a generic black marine I'll take that as a win and a close second to an actual Apone, especially if said head sculpt has a cigar in his mouth like the old garage kit 1:6 Apone.
From twitter:
Q: in '06, Al Matthews said about HT's Apone: "I am happy about having an action figure, if it looks like me, and I get paid!"
A: there lies the problem. Not a big enough name or character to pay for on top of license fees. Doesn't work
Q: How much would it cost for Al's likeness? Could us fans do a kickstarter campaign like for BDE's doc or the V. Mars movie?
A: no idea and not something we would endorse doing
I really dont care for his face, i just want more marines than hicks and hudson 8)
Remember Dutch? Neca itself said in its moment they couldn´t due copyright issues but later in San Diego Comic Con of the last year, SURPRISE! So I wouldn´t be surprised if Neca lies us and then in the event shows the so eager Apone figure; nevertheless, everything would be solved in this next SDCC.

Q: How much would it cost for Al's likeness? Could us fans do a kickstarter campaign like for BDE's doc or the V. Mars movie?
A: no idea and not something we would endorse doing
I agree ;)
I really dont care for his face, i just want more marines than hicks and hudson 8)
QuoteNot a big enough name or character
Yeah, right. Must be why he was included in the multiplayer for Aliens: CM along with none other than...Hicks and Hudson. ::) And an Xbox 360 game is definitely marketed to far less of a niche crowd than these figures.
Matthews even did his own voice...so it's not like he's going to say no to this.
Not a big name?! Didn't he the first black soldier that made it Sgt during the Vietnam war? Didn't he a song writer, a singer and an actor? And isn't we all knew that he is Al Matthews? Why not even asking hm? He may not be the guy who have to receive a lot for his facial likeliness? Some people just find it ok to receive a symbolic little shown
as a matter of respect and find it happy and satisfied simply of the "mini me" they have as the action figures. As I think Bill Paxton a good example.

A lot can change in a month, and as far as the tweet goes it could be purposeful false information. They could be keeping it a "Secret" until SDCC or something else.
I'm probably wrong though, but I'm still saying its Apone given the image, the regular armor on the prototype and the flame thrower. If it turns out to be a generic black marine I'll take that as a win and a close second to an actual Apone, especially if said head sculpt has a cigar in his mouth like the old garage kit 1:6 Apone.
This :)
Apone is the better than a generic marine, i prefer official characters. however, i still would buy any generic marine because it's still a cool idea and a good way to build up a squad diorama
QuoteDidn't he the first black soldier that made it Sgt during the Vietnam war?
It's a little more specific than that. He was the first black Marine to be meritoriously promoted to sergeant in Vietnam with the 1st Marine Division if I'm not mistaken.

Exactly man i agree 8) now the waiting game.. but getting hudson and hicks will satisfie me until the rest come ;D
my sole hope is the Aliens line sells as much as the predator line does...because if it does....we'll all get what we hope for :)
It certainly will, as both of these are the ultimate survival horror sci-fi classic that built up the reputation for years.

I'll stick with water with food coloring.
Fun fact, when making 'Aliens', Lance Henriksen thought they'd be using milk, and got himself really, really sick during filming after leaving milk lying around all day under hot studio lighting and doing practice takes with it. James Caneron basically said "dude what were you thinking? We were going to use water with food coloring". Whoops!

Hell yeah! ;D ;D
I'm REALLY looking forward to the helmeted versions
Don't see Michael Biehn in that at all, honestly. I was hoping he would have a more default, neutral face for the helmeted version.
Yeah, NECA's Michael Biehn likenesses haven't done a whole lot for me.
The Series 1 Hicks do looks alike Michael biehn.
A pass for me for the helmet version.
That helmet looks to be sitting really high on his head.
May be we can treat this as genetic marine #1 and enlarge the army of colonial marine
By the way Series 1 is already on the shelf in Hong Kong, retail price at around$50 for the set of three.
I bought two sets (which i never thought of but i just simply stunned by the high quality of the figs and decided to leave one unopened and the other for diorama) and they are just AWESOME!
Hicks does look alike Michael Biehn. The masterwork of these figures is just as good as Dutch's, a must buy!(Especially the screaming helmet versions of the two packs are sucks)
It strikes me as odd to have non-removeable helmets, especially at this price and given that their head sculpts include sculpted hair. I figure that they are probably glued on and can be pried off, the only question is whether they'll paint the hair underneath.
In any case, thanks NECA for making my choice much, much easier – unhelmeted Hicks and helmeted Hudson.

I was tempted to make that very joke. :P But no, I'd pay more for a dollar for it. :)
Edit -- I DID just get NECA's "Robocop with spring-loaded holster" a couple days ago though, he's pretty cool. I didn't have any other NECA Robocop figures, and the last Robocop I got was McFarlane's one about a decade ago (has it really been that long?) so I figured this was a worthwhile upgrade. :)
Anything's an update from McFarlane...

That's a WHOLE new licence though.
I did an interview with Lee Brimmicombe-Wood (Aliens CMTM) and he wrote things covering Alien 3 that couldn't even be included because the publishers didn't have the licence for it.
So...if they do the WY guys...it's gonna be a while.
Hi all,
Been following this thread in anticipation for a while now, and thought I'd share since I just received mine! (I live in Hong Kong).
I had no idea we'd be getting ours so early, but my local collectible store guy called me and told me they arrived so I went down and got them last night.
I got all three. Hicks, Hudson and the Alien Warrior.
Here's a review:
First off, and most importantly; these guys are AMAZING. Since watching Aliens as a kid these have been the dream action figures I've always wanted and they don't fail to live up to expectations. All the detail is there, right down to Hudson's little tin-can opener on his crotch piece! They are of sturdy construction, they have excellent paint jobs and are well worth every dollar. NECA could have charged more for these guys, seriously, but I won't complain about that!
One thing I didn't like is that the marines' arms only bend at the elbows 90 degrees at the most. Which kinda limits the poses you can do with them holding their gear. Hudson can't even really hold his motion tracker close to his face. However, the Alien's articulation is absolutely state-of-the-art. The Alien has double jointed elbows and knees which means they can bend their limbs to be flush against themselves. The back spike thing(?) between the four "pipes" on the Alien's back can be removed so the head can tilt all the way up, which I thought was a really great touch. Even the second mouth, once out, can be positioned up or down! The tail is a bit skinny at the base when looking at it from the side though. NECA used a softer, rubbery plastic for the groin area which sort of limits the leg movements up towards the body but it helps to conceal the ball joints there.
I did find one fault: My Hudson was severely cross-eyed! He looked ridiculous! I had to use a tiny tiny brush to re-do them. Which isn't so bad since most people in this hobby would be able to do that easily but it is pretty finicky work and really, we shouldn't have to be the ones do it anyway. I hope I just had a faulty one, I didn't look at the others in the store so I can't say for sure since I only noticed once back at home.
The guns are made of a rigid, hard plastic and don't bend, which I love. And all the straps are all made of a separate, flexible rubbery-type of plastic which lets you sling them over their shoulders which is awesome.
Strangely, I noticed NECA didn't include a shoulder-lamp for Hicks. Which is a shame cause he has the attachment slot for it on his back. Although this means you can mount Hudson's one on him if you like, which is cool.
Sadly, as cool as they are, I keep thinking "Man, they REALLY need their helmets" And dammit NECA, I'm probably gonna end up buying the 2-packs to get at them. NECA knows what they are doing by leaving out the helmets and it works!
Hope this helps!
I'd be happy to answer anyone's questions about them.
Hey, can you find Hudson's back slot? Mine hasn't got one (may be the body armor covered it which is not possible to be find, Hicks back does have the hole which fall right exactly under the armor hole)
but I placed the lamp on hicks' back anyway.
Do you think the pulse rifle abit down sized? My Hicks looks awesome with Mcfarlanes' genetic marines pulse rifle.
The marines are just awesome! They are even better better than Dutch in my two cents.
Being in Hong Kong is lucky for us, isn't it?

If NECA ends up doing the 'Alien3' dog Alien (like they've said they might do), that implies that they got the Alien3 license.

Heh well, just like any city Hong Kong has it's pros and cons. Anyway, yeah, my Hudson has a shoulder lamp slot. The armor might be covering it. Try moving it around some. I had to shift the armor around a little the first time to find it.
That's another thing I love about these guys. The armor is a separate piece of plastic that they actually wear, instead of being molded onto their bodies.
I find the pulse rifles to be the right size to be honest. I'm sure these guys did their homework when making them and they are most likely very screen-accurate. Heck, I'm just gonna do a quick google search and put a picture with it and bam:

If they're arriving in HK then that means they'll pop up on ebay soon enough. There's one seller who is selling all three, I'd buy them from him/her butthe asking price is $95. I'm not willing to pay that much just to get them before late June, but once more sellers get them up and the prices drop I'll probably bite
Come on , I just bought all three locally for $50, he charge you and extra$45for shipping? What a vampire!

Actually before I went to a retail store here I looked online, and the prices for shipping from the states from places like Big Bad Toystore or CMD are around that much too including shipping. So he's probably not trying to rip people off too much.

Oh, snap! Ah, well I already took these pics so might as well upload em. :)
The figures look good, might have to look into buying them c:
Some one who had them in hand in HK was selling series 1 on ebay for $56. I caved and bought two sets. It's a bitter seet feeling lol
Yeah, shipping is expensive，hope they charge you actual shipping and not rip you off(Hong Kong Post is not that expensive while compared to USPS, and more efficient). Originally, the set was sold at $45 here when you preorder them(which I haven't) and i bought them 4 days ago at the retail at $50@(i bought and extra Hicks and Hudson respectively, which means a total of 5 figures, that ends up at around $16 @. Trust me, you wont regret buying them more than one as they worth it).now the set has risen to $53 which I last seen selling in the shop, better than buying share isn't it? I am not the guy of investment, but open up a good hicks for posting and playing around, while leaving an excellent Hicks mint, just give me the smell of the Napalm in the morning, it smells like, victory. Thanks NECA giving us these god damn good figures
I'm hoping that some seller, sells separately Hudson...
You like Hudson more than hicks?
Yeah
Same here.
In fact I can part one of my Hudson out ( as I like Hicks more), mint on card, for $18USD, and I charge only actual shipping, anyone interested? But I am living in Hong Kong and you should expect the shipping arrival would be at least a couple days and the postage would be more than $10USD.
Just to meet a new friend. PayPal user only.

So when exactly do these ship? Because im going to get a new figure soon so i might pick one of em up. And when does the skull pack ship I might get that later too.
HK sellers are receiving theirs. I'd guess it'll take at least two weeks for online sellers in the US to receive theirs, as for retail stores putting them on the shelves I'd say that depends on each specific store. My closest TRU didn't start stocking Dutch's until a week or two ago.
I purchased the NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and was so impressed by the craftsmanship and quality of the figures. I'll definitely be purchasing these.
Is there no elbow articulation in the right arm? That's bizarre.
***EDIT*** The articulation is there, disregard.

Anybody likes cutting the index figure our of the palm like me(note Hicks index finger which can pull the pulse rifle's trigger), I usually do the operations with Neca figures' left hand.

Looks good man 8)
Will definitely be looking to buy these at Comic-Con in July! Right now my wall has the Jungle Patrol Dutch, the Neca Kyle Reese and the McFarlane Movie Maniac Hicks.
Here's a look at the ALIENS: Genocide 2-pack cardback...

i'm so going to get these for my hive
I`m not.
I liked Genocide, besides Berserker it was my favorite of the Aliens comics, so I'm sold on getting the red vs black pack
Not really digging the red one but the black one looks dope.. 8)
They should have made the red one much darker.
Yea red is unique but idk this red makes the xeno look out of his color or something ,kinda to cartoonish for me at least. Either imma custom paint him my own color or like you said make him a darker red :-\
Definitely getting that 2-pack.

Just for comparison:

Yep those Xenos on cover are much more copper red then blood red of figures. Metalic colors are perfect for aliens.
Those red xenos will look 100% better after a nice dark paint wash.
If the Marines sell well (as far as etailers go its looking like they will) and the genocide pack sells well I'm hoping Neca will stay in the EU and give us figures of the marines and the mech from Berserker.

Is it just me or others have the same feeling with me that, the red xeno in the dark horse comic, their head looks abit shorter than their black xeno counterpart? Which looks cute?

congrats, I got the alien warrior Thursday I got from china off ebay,couldn't wait any longer, these are a great series for sure.
Glad you received that. (The Hk post is still trust worthy)
The quality of the colonial marines is even better than Dutch series 8&9 so better grasp them once they arrive at your local stores, cheer!
Also, anyone knows are there any accessories come along with the genocide 2-pack?
Egg? Facehugger?
Yea I couldnt wait either I wanted this series ever sense I seen the first pics especially hudson. I gottah say judging by just hudson. This is my fav. Series by neca.the detail on this figure is amazing. My dudes joints were a bit stiff nothing like super hot water coouldnt fix. so now I can hold out till these drop in the usa hah will be getting at least two worrior aliens , Hk post is really trust worthy took only a week to get hudson fig. And I hope the genocide pack comes accessories maybe a egg??
I have already bought a Hudson, on Ebay. Delivery is estimated between 19 to June 26
On Amazon.com Hicks and Hudson are $24.99 each and the alien warrior is $49.99. A whole set of three (Hicks, Hudson, and alien warrior) is priced at $69.95 US dollars. I thought they were going to cost $14.99 each, but perhaps I am mistaken. Are these fair prices? I am in no rush to get these figures, just curious so I don't get ripped off.
Those are inflated prices. Its basically people buying them at Toys R Us for the normal $15.99 price and trying to make a profit.
Thanks! I will check that out. Might pick up a few extra to give as gifts later if they are only $15.99.
Have any series ever sold out? I get the feeling these will be popular.

What is better on Hudson compered to Dutch ?
The skin tone. Dutch is plastic while the marines do have skin paint which is better
Quote from: Raiden on Jun 11, 2013, 03:15:37 AM
The skin tone. Dutch is plastic while the marines do have skin paint which is better
Vice versa for me. The plastic skin tone looks more translucent and fleshy to me, plus using paint for skin means the chance if leakage, and other paint mistakes that happen so often on toys.
I dont have seen any of them in person, but for me the transculent plastic is better( for the viewpoint of the technique).
But not perfect, neca must inprove this that they looks more like Hot Toys.
Now its to transculent, looks to many like plastic. more mat and no glossy finishes makes this better.
This is very important, especially for 18" versions.
The problem with painted skin tones are sloppys, etc paintflaws. I saw many of this errors on the Neca Tech Noir Terminator.
Have Hudson cross-eyes ?
Some have this problem on his exenplares.
May be I am lucky that my marines are well painted and don't have much complaint about the paint job(minor reprinting make that prefect) and Dutch, ah, good but still the skin is a bit plastic to me

If thats the case these new ones suffer from the same thing
you need to report this to neca customer service. they are 2 reviews of these on youtube, the legs on theirs bend fine and didn't break, so it mite not be across the board issue, who knows.

Which dutch you mean ?
Its varies from figure to figure a bit.
Its not perfect, Neca must make this plastic mor mate, but I think this is the future.
Which technique use Enterbay, Hot Toys, Blitzway, etc. ?
on some pictures it looks silimar.
I see a video review from hicks and he have some sloppy paint in his face and I hear something about cross eyed Hudsons.

"Never Ever" are strong words, neca. if all of us each guess one marine until we together have filled all characters, one of us must guess it right ;D

That would actually be awesome :o
The confirmed info. Of the series2 marine Are:
1. A male marine
2. With flame thrower
3. In cast.
So the guess should be narrow isn't it?
Won't be bishop, as it is not a marine after all .
it has to be frost.
i think i'd have to guess Frost too. but it doessn't matter because i'm glad as long as they release new characters to recruit to my squad. but regardless, they did say Bishop was possible right?
Frost , apone , drak
Maybe it's not a marine. It could be Newt.

Dietrich also had a flamethrower
Oh god its Atax, isn't it?
Christ I hope so.
It is a HE, although personally I like Ferro as she can have the chance to pull here Vp70 which she can't do in movie, her pilot helmet rocks too. Ok this time I will guess its Gorman
The very fact that they stated we would "never ever" guess excludes any of the known movie marines.

Oh man, this is one of my dreams along Linn Kurosawa. :-[ Hopefully Neca would do an expanded universe based figures.
Finally picked up these bad boys. I was lucky enough to be able to pick out the best paint jobs (no cross eyed Hudson thank God!) and I would definitely recommend you guys do the same if possible. The paint job can really make or break this series from what I saw.
I got the standard series of 3 and 2 more Aliens because they are just too cool to get just one! This line will make for some incredible displays by fans.

I'm using Jungle Patrol dutch + mcfarlane Hicks's legs. Arnold is way to big to put his head or arms on the Neca Hicks or Hudson. I'm almost done with him, I just need to find the right paint colors to paint his pants to match theirs
I'd love a Herk Mondo figure.
Hicks and Hudson are just awesome, thx NECA

What figures are the guns from?
Hicks' M45 is from NECA's Scanface(Al pacino) And the VP70 is from the now folded up Palisades's resident Evil line Leon figure(Now become unreasonably expensive)
As you may noticed in my previous pic,http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=48529.0 (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=48529.0)
Hicks also has a silver M1911, and that nice chrome Colt Govt is also came from Palisades' Residental evil series, the Soldier zombie, an excellent M1911 that is in this scale
got my aliens series 1 set today from amoktime, they look great, hicks looks great in person, I just don't like Hudson much, because of his facial expression, but love the warrior alien, now I have 2 to go with the queen.
When will these be in illinois and when will the thought of an alien queen be proposed so I can buy that too.
dec. or jan. on the queen,2013-2014.
2013/2014 or 2014/2015? If its this dec or jan then im buying it and it wont suck like my birthday present wont suck like it did this past dec/jan.(I mean the $110+ spent on the crappy game A:CM)
I think using correct punctuation might help others in understanding your question.
He meant December of 2013 or January of 2014. With the way NECA seems to fall behind, however, I'm not sure I would expect the Queen until the 2nd quarter of 2014.
Thanks man.
my order is on its way!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Thanks. It's a cropped portion of an Operation: Aliens collector's card. ;)
well i got one of the many aliens warriors in today and well the paint is shit -as i knew it would be -but alas i will repaint it and it will be glorious !!!
Hicks arrived today and it's such a pleasure to have this guy, after so many years of hoping to have something of this high quality. Really looking forward to seeing what else they do.
New additons from this morning.
Really excited about the Aliens Series 1
I can't believe I am holding them in my hands.
I'm booting up the movie and cracking some figures.
Right now.

Just ordered Hudson from amazon.co.uk
So are these showing up at retail? I might have to check my local TRU tomorrow.
I just checked my local TRU and was disappointed that they had not yet gotten them yet. Hopefully be there within the week
So what has Neca announced for series 2. I remember they said something about generic marines. Im hoping we can get a couple sentry turents also. I just plucked the Alien and Hudson from the store and have Hicks on hold.
Series 2 is : Giger Classic Alien, Warrior Alien with blue highlights, and an as-of-yet unamed Marine.

Alright a remake, a repaint and a marine that might be terrible. Classic NECA as always!
How's this for a hive?
I also have 2 Neca Aliens MOC and also the 18" Neca Alien. :-)
And this collection is nowhere near complete yet because I'll be getting at least 2 of each alien Neca still releases.
I am God :-)
BTW, the new Xenomorph Warriors don't look great in the pics, but they actually are great figures. I highly recommend them above the older versions, though having a few of both is great.
I always wanna know if the Big Chap the only one Xeno that has translucent brain? Or there are different spicies of Xeno? Thx
holy shit, God is here.
Thanks.
Oh, but just a correction:
I will buy 2 of each alien Neca releases AS LONG AS they are not the Xenos from Resurrection, AVP, and AVP:R. I hate those styles of Xenomorph and I prefer to forget about them existing.
I would, however, like to see Kenner Alien takeoffs and perhaps some Comic figures. I hope to see Dog Alien as well (McFarlane's isn't very good so I won't buy it). Still looking for a better Queen to replace my McFarlane one as well.
QuoteSeries 2 is : Giger Classic Alien, Warrior Alien with blue highlights, and an as-of-yet unamed Marine.
Does that mean the Series 2 Warrior Alien will be the same as the one in the Genocide 2 pack that comes with the Red Alien?
In that case, I won't be buying it.
Jesus, it will be different in that it will have BLUE highlights.
Maybe some new people who missed this will benefit from it:

No, the Alien from Alien3 had a translucent dome, as well as the aliens from REsurrection and AvP. I think the ridged headed ones only show up in two out of the six alien movies out there ;)

Where are you supposed to get those displays? I can only find a very few on Ebay.
Also, when can we expect proto pics of the new Giger Alien?
Personally I have a hard time believing, knowing Neca, that all of that will be released this year (2013). More realistically I'd expect half of what's on that list to be released this year. The year is already half over.

True, but a majority of these figures will be Xeno repaints and the other figures will have moderate re-tooling ie. Hicks & Hudson with new heads, and blood splatter for the Xenomorphs. I'm hopeful for them to all be released this year. If that's the case, they'll outnumber my predators in no time. The Queen I can wait for in 2014. I'll need to prepare myself for that beauty.
I say October we may see series 2 in stores. All the 2 packs should be out before the end of the year. Like said the figures in those packs are just repaints with modifications. I look forward to what's in store beyond series 2. We all know Neca will do justice with the dog alien and while Alien Resurrection was unpopular I could see them touching the A:R design. The question I have is would Neca even think about doing a Neborn figure?
Just got my Hudson figure - i dunno about the others but it seems on mine that the left side of his armor can come off.. either its a option or it wasn't glued. Awesome figure tho!

Goddamn they came out really good.
From Twitter:
Q: Looking forward to that 3rd Colonial Marine Reveal!
A: it's a unique one and truly special, all will be explained/revealed at #sdcc
Q: James Cameron as a Marine? :P
A: Not quite but getting warmer
Q: james remar as hicks or one of the NECA dev team?
A: 3 weeks ;)
For those out there who doesnt know who James Remar is:
http://alienseries.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/the-other-hicks-james-remar/ (http://alienseries.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/the-other-hicks-james-remar/)

8)
James remar as hicks is a good one.
Though its probs arnold as a marine lol
3 WEEKS!? Well time flies quickly but thinking more thoroughly I bet for Drake, in fact before he died he shift to a flame thrower.
James Remar would do an excellent job as Hicks, shame he had trouble with drugs.
Or would be Crowe? I think it´s a very remote possibility due he wasn´t equipped with a flamethrower (or at least it was never showed it in the movie), however watching the alien figure package that I got today the following got my attention
http://imageshack.com/i/0lge7ij (http://imageshack.com/i/0lge7ij)(//)
Moreover Neca said that the marine of the second series is somebody that nobody would expected. What do you think?

well done brother!
Well, in the follow video she use not a flamethrower but a pulse rifle so why not! ;D

To be honest, if it's anyone other than an actual marine from the film, I'll be disappointed as it's just a wasted slot. Less of an actual figure and more 'rehash we threw in because we're too lazy and/or cheap to do this properly'.

Totally agreed.
I don't actually plan on buying any Marines, except the ones I have to in order to get some of the Xenos. But I already fear for this line's future. The idea of anything other than a Marine from the movie is absurd, especially at this point as only two have been released. Furthermore, while I enjoy collecting Xeno repaints, I think way too many repaints are been issued here. I really have a feeling this line is going to fail. We may not even see series 2. Not even the Giger Alien.
I should mention that Xenomorphs have already been done to death by a number of companies including McFarlane and Neca previously. How much of a demand is there? Don't overestimate the popularity of the Alien franchise. And what demand is there really to see Marines made into figures? They're usually the shelf-warmers, sorry but it's true.
My bets are that series 2 is 50% likely to happen, but there will certainly be no series 3.

Well shit, that's one hell of a pessimistic attitude. What makes you say other marines will be shelf warmers? No one has ever done the marines besides Mcfarlane who only did 2 variants of Hicks. As far as the xenos are concerned yes they've all been done before, but seeing as how NECA has the Marines and Preds on the shelf at the same time I think they will sell well.
I'm not afraid for this line at all, I don't think it will be as drawn out as the Predator line, but I think it'll sell well.
Coming from a non-collector of this kind of hardware, if I was to collect I wouldn't mind a little variety. It is the spice of life.

Whooooooa i dissagree with you , kinda depressing reading that.
Sorry but series 2 is a 100% to come and series three or later?
I just know i will buy each marines whoever they got release.
To me, Xenos are just monster bug that serve as the targets for the marines and I am sure the general public like me would like to buy the marines rather than the Xenos, I buy the Xenos only cos I have to buy the marines in bundle here in HK. I just know by now that the Xenos have different colors and translucent head by the NECA figs.
(Not a hardcore fan of alien but a toy soldier player)
You see I'm the opposite...........the coolest thing about the Alien series is the Alien....
From what I've seen in my area besides the Predators the human figures like Dutch have been selling better (no marines hit the shelves yet). The original Jungle Hunter I haven't seen in stock but both my local TRU are stocked to all hell on Dutch's. I think the market is in the favor of the marines more than the xeno's because kids see a xenomorph or an unmasked predator and instantly think monster, and parents will move their kids away from it.
That being said kids will see Dutch and the USCM releases and instantly see its a soldier, there for it can kill or be put up against anything in their toy box. With Mcfarlane's halo line dying out there are no other "futuristic" soldier toys in the market so if anything Neca is filling that void.
Two types of toys that always sell well are soldiers and anything futuristic looking, the USCM releases are both
I'll definitely be picking up several of the marines. And I never bought the McFarlane Hicks, even though I had ample opportunity. These NECA figures are f**king top notch...I nabbed Hicks and a Xeno first chance I had off Amazon.
I have at least 3 of the McF Xenomorph, but I'll likely get rid of them and pick up 3-4 of the NECA one. I hope this line is easy to find at retail...haven't seen it yet in stores.
For me, it's really about Alien and Aliens, so my xeno horde will be comprised of those versions. I have no interest in the Alien Resurrection or even Alien 3 xenos.
How can anyone not love the runner?
Don't get me wrong I would love to see all the marines (or the most popular ones with newt and Ripley) but my main goal is to purchase the Neca Queen Alien in which they told me will be out for Christmas! I hope it has the ability to slide its head out of the 'crown' portion like in the movie, but I would also like to see an newt and an alien two pack, like when newt is trapped under the floors in the sewer looking part of the building, and the alien swims out of the water and takes her.
In fact Neca announced the Alien queen for Christmas. About Ripley, looks like Sigourney Weaver doesn`t fancy the idea to borrow her likeness for a figure so no chance to see a figure based in Ripley, at least not for the short term.
One gadget I would like to see is the badass Powerloader.
Who needs a power loader when you could have this?

Guys, don't get me wrong, I could be totally wrong about what I said. I hope I'm wrong too.
But don't forget that Hot Toys and Kenner have also done Marine figures. Though I can understand why some wouldn't count those.
The main point is likeness. NECA hit the target!
Hot toy ones are just human figures with changing clothing feature. who they are and I have to pay500usd just for a single one?
Kenner ones? Plastic toys ten years ago which can't meet today's standard even at toys.
NECA ones are accurate in likeness and very price friendly.
And randy said the series 2 marine comes only with the flamethrower and not the pulse rifle, so he is not james remars hicks, any ideas then?
who he is?
Maybe Ripley as a Marine instead of an advisor. Other flame units were Weirzbowski, Dietrich, Apone (who gets his from Hudson), did Crowe have one?

Wasn't Frost the one to throw Apone the flamer? Maybe I am wrong, but I remember Frost having one at some point. Assumed he tossed it to Al and switched to his sidearm.
Could be right. I know he had one in operations.
Frost gave Apone the flame thrower.
The series two marine being Frost would be ideal considering Neca claimed to not have Al's likeness for Apone

I hope it's Frost personally. Aside from Hudson and Hicks, he was my most wanted marine. Though something tells me it won't be him. Just all these hints they've dropped makes me think it will be something random, like suggested before Remar as Hicks or Cameron as a marine. Something along those lines.
I feel like it might be Apone, just because he played a bigger role than some of the other marines that were killed off in the hive.

I must be one of few then, as I only really want the marines - especially since few figures have been done and these are top notch in terms of detail and articulation. I have the Revoltech Alien and Alien Warrior, they're good enough for me. I'll likely pick up the black alien and by default whatever battle damaged version comes with Hudson.

If he didn't receive one for free, most likely.
I actually think a Remar version of Hicks would be pretty rad. My only complaint would be he'd basically be The current Hicks with a head swap but its Neca there kinda known for the re use re paint thing....Either way the Incinerator is worth the purchase, plus who wouldnt want Ajax from The Warriors in Marine Garb!
I just don't get Sigourney not wanting to give away the rights for a figure based on her most famous role of all things. I mean, we all die, but pop culture goes on forever. Whats the con to having an action figure? id love to be immortalized in plastic forever!

It's more so about her being anti-weapons than her not wanting a figure of herself. I think it's BS.
But couldnt they just make a figure of her and include her weapons with a different marine so you can sneak it to her figure
That's... that's a really good idea.
I seem to recall some other company pulling the same stunt with the Reservoir Dogs figures (the stylized ones, not the ones NECA later released that are more realistic-looking). Steve Buscemi objected to his character's figure coming with weapons for some reason, so they just... didn't include any weapons with the Mr. Pink figure. One of the other figures mysteriously came with an extra weapon, though. ;)

The model company, Geometric Design took this approach in the 90's with their 1/8 scale Ripley model kit. They got Sigourney's approval for the likeness, though her character was sculpted holding a motion tracker instead of any sort of weapon. Geometric later released and 'add-on' pack of weapons, which I think might've pissed Sigourney off a bit.
I'm not sure she'll be so agreeable towards lending her likeness anymore... :-\
Well maybe she'll come down after being convinced a little bit mas
When does the giger alien come out this year and also the alien with blue highlights?
Because Im thinking about getting the now figures but I like the giger one more,and the blue color alien seems better so im waitibg this first series.
I called around today and found out some bad news for my area. The comic shops won't be carrying series 1 because they're "too expensive". The two closest TRU's to me (coral springs and boca) won't be carrying them either. The store in Pembroke Pines has them in stock though, so I'll be heading there some time this week.
Not sure when the new giger alien is released but I heard its a completely new midel :)
Oh yeah,does any one know whats gonna be "new" about it? If its domeless or can be domeless I guess id buy.
I just want to know because I dont want a NECA description of new.
hey joker, havent you bought some marines from hong kong already?

I don't see why the new Giger Alien would be domeless. If that's the case, it's not the Giger Alien. With regards to the dome coming off, it's possible but unlikely since that doesn't happen in the movie.
However, on a lot of previous Giger Alien figures, you can take the dome off yourself with a bit of force and effort. This includes the previous Neca Giger Alien and the McFarlane one as well. I've done it before but I don't recommend it because it doesn't look good to have the dome removed.
If you want a domeless Alien, buy one of the Xenomorph Warriors. If you want a domeless Giger Alien, then it's not the Giger Alien at all. And what's underneath the dome can barely be seen in the movie any way.
To be honest I have a feeling the new mold of the Giger Alien will have a solid head in which you cannot even remove the dome with force. I'm betting it will be some awesome paint job.
Here's a few of the custom Marines I'm working on...

Awesome!
It's nice to see Perseus and clubber make such good marines, I just bought them + Chris Redfield and Sheva to do the same thing.
HAHA Pitty da fool! Love it man!
So I don't see why there are still people said the marines can't sell.......

Loved the pause/relaxed/it's over part with Hicks laying on the ground and the tracker started to ping again. Great touch. It's cool how the frozen faces of the characters don't seem distracting. I'd experiment with the lighting a little to see if you could get more visual tension and drama.

Thanks man, yeah my lighting was off cause I was using my old camera because my brand new one fell off my desk and broke!!! :'( but once again thanks I love compliments btw part 2 will be with NECA ALIENS SERIES 2
But I was also thinking of making part 2 with Hicks waking up cocooned and having to escape the hive, IDK though, I don't wanna have to wait five months for series 2 what do you guys think?

Mine had stiff joints in the legs and arm and both the right arm and left leg snapped off.
Here are 3 more of my custom Marines.
An Officer, a Heavy Gunner, and an "acid scarred" Marine.

Finally found these guys. Happened to walk into my local Toys 'R Us this afternoon and there was a whole set sitting on the shelf. Thank God. I'm heading out to Comic-Con in a few weeks and I know they'd be far more expensive if I sought them out there. ;D
I used fish gravel filter flooring, or something like that, you can find them at petco and online

So Neca is already having quality control problems with these again? Damn. Glad it didn't happen to mine.
Are you sure you guys don't have the older Neca Aliens? Are you positive you're talking about the new versions? The new version says 'Xenomorph Warrior' on the packaging.
Yeah mine says xeno warrior on it with crows cam on the side and hudson and hicks ad on back.
It seems like its gonna break at a joint like one elbow joint cant move without me gripping it really hard and even then.

100% positive my versions where the new one, both of them broke.
My 3 were perfectly fine
Neca, seriously how can you get away with this???????????????????????????????????????????????????
always dunk stiff figures in hot water before flexing the joints, softens the plastic and lets you flex the joints without fear of breakage
Yeah that's the best thing you can do

Not that one, but the one at the front of Hicks and Hudson's belt at the front besides the belt buckle.

Last I heard Helmet Hicks is due out around August (so I would assume September for US buyers) and Hudson in October (probably November for US buyers. The Genocide two pack comes out between those two releases.
Series two includes the clear dome Giger Alien, a Blue high lighted Alien warrior and a currently un-named USCM marine with a flame thrower.
awesome! thanks for the speedy response dude!
sounds good, so helmeted hicks and hudson are being released separately then?
trying to decide whether to take the plunge now and get the current hicks and hudson or wait, any ideas if the helmets will be removable?
can't wait to see neca's new giger alien, really hope the sculpt is more accurate than their last attempt

The helmets won't be removable but the head sculpts have sculpted hair so they will probably just be glued to the head like the exclusive McF Hicks. If thats the case they'll be easy to remove with heat.
As far as taking the plunge goes the I have, I've made an "Operations Hicks" with the old McF head set and I plan on getting helmeted versions so I can have a "Hive" Hicks, a "pre-battle" operations Hudson using the game over man sculpt and the helmeted versions helmet, and then having another helmeted Hudson with the yelling head sculpt.
Both helmeted versions have screaming/yelling heads.
Randy in twitter said the genocide 2 pack will be release in late July.
And I strongly recommend you to get the series 1 Hicks and Hudson unless you really want their helmets or just wanna buy a single set. It is because the yelling faces or them is just too over reacting in my two cents
Who not buying both sets? You don't have to wait until oct/Dec and you can always swap their heads with other figures that you can make new marines like colonel Arnie and sag. MR. T........Tons of fun and surprises

It looks very similar to the device (presumably the firing mechanism for the Smartgun) that Vasguez hands over to Frost in the Reactor, then pulls out 2 spares for Drake and herself. What Hicks could be doing with one though, I'm not sure.
I find the helmeted yelling face Hicks a bit too angry for a reactor-type scenario, which is where he mostly wears the helmet. The unhelmeted version makes for a great Ops version (even without the headset) so I went for this one. From the early pictures, it seems like the yelling Hudson is best suited as an Ops version, and for me is preferable to the 'moment-specific' game over face. Single pack Hicks with 2-pack Hudson seems the way to go to get versions of the characters as they appeared together in the same scene, and for my money are the ones to get.
The 'flexibility' of the helmet, i.e. whether you can take it off and what the head underneath is like, remains an unknown but it's still a lot of money to pay for the same figure with a different head. New accessories, and I suppose the explodey aliens, might make it worthwhile to get both though.

I doubt they will be easy to remove.
You can see from the pic below of Hick's "screaming" head without the helmet that the sculpt has a large groove in the top of the head.
This will probably match a piece on the inside of the helmet where it will be glued to the head.

how did you do the Chell marine? does the torso ball joint match up?
The joints don't match up. I did a chell and I had to glue her to the legs. Her upper glued to Hick's lower.
May that is the place for the head set?

Any chance we get to see a Nostromo crew series with:
- Ripley
- Dallas
- Lambert
- Kane
- Ash
- Brett
- Parker
?

Any chance we get to see a Nostromo crew series with:

- Parker
?

Pfffff, I don't care about her likeness. I just want a Ripley figure. Surely SW does not own the rights to 'Ripley'. At least I hope not, right?
Actually, isn't a company releasing a line of 'Alien' figures shortly based upon the 1979 sculpts? Ripley is included in that line. The figures are so lacking in detail that they must not even need SW's approval. It's not her 'likeness'. Surely Neca can create some Ripley figure, even if it doesn't look totally like Ripley. I remember McFarlane doing this with his original T2 'Terminator' figure. Couldn't get Arnie's license at the time so he just changed the look a bit. It won't matter too much with Ripley as long as the figure is still wearing Ripley's authentic clothing from the movies, etc. Would be better than nothing, wouldn't it?
I'd still buy the entire crew even if none of them had 100% likeness. I'd buy those 1979 figures but it sounds like they're not making all 7 cast members :-(
Can I make a prediction? Some of Randy's recent tweets have lead us to believe that '14 lineup will consist of more than just the Giger Alien. So this gets me thinking, NECA is great for giving fans characters they want, they are also getting into larger figures and dioramas, AND they are eager to maximize usage of existing "tooling."
What I'm getting at is that this would be a perfect chance for them to use their Engineer sculpt and finally give us a Space Jockey chair diorama. Complete with a modified Chair Suit Engineer. I hope to God that is in their plans.
Just a thought.

I can see that, in a way. It'd be sooo huge though. :o Like the Predator Trophy wall times 3. They'd have to sell it exclusively themselves, I imagine; This Trophy wall and skull pack thing with Predators is a good way to see what will work within the direct-to-consumer market. I'm not sure I could see NECA ever going the route of Mattel, but then that's a good thing...
I'd be up for one, that's for sure.
After the holo engineer and possibly Shaw (if they get to it) I don't see them releasing any more Prometheus figures. I don't know about other places, but in my area we're still over stocked of Prometheus series 1 engineers. I don't think they'll ever move either because they're priced at $16.99 and $24.99.
It sucks because that's one of the reasons my local stores have no plans on picking up anymore Neca figures besides Pacific Rim.
Called it!
@NECA_TOYS Any chance of seeing the original Space Jockey like a diorama piece for series 3 or 4?
@vivekbhat possible Diorama larger scale pc maybe between S3 & 4. 35th Anniversary next year - that's just crazy!!
@NECA_TOYS @vivekbhat seriously?!! We might get a space jockey in chair???
@2007Tundraguy @vivekbhat maybe but more of a diorama pc based on Alien not him getting out of chair or playing a flute ;)
I peed a little when I read that this afternoon.
I just peed a little now...
I too have peed all over my computer chair and keyboard. Nothing to do with u guys peeing, I just do that sometimes.

Did Neca make it official? I ask this because Neca said in its twitter account there´s a chance BUT NOT STILL SURE, however when Neca says there´s a possibility the chances are 99,9%.
I would definitely like to get a Ripley. Did NECA say they may make the power loader even if it doesn´t have Ripley?
There´s the one from Aoshima with a 1/12 Ripley but I never saw it next to any figure in the same scale. Anyway, it´s really pricey.
I'd love to get a NECA-scale Space Jockey, but for it to be screen-accurate they wouldn't be able to re-use the Pressure Suit Engineer figure.

Man, the girl looks awesome! How did you manage to get the torsos together? Did you use the lower part from Hicks too?
The marine in series is a sgt, but not apone, any idea?
Tentative guess: Sgt Wilks (well, Cpl Wilks, but he gets promoted to Sergeant) from the Aliens: Earth Hive series.
I can't really think of any other notable Sergeants from the franchise other than Apone. Sgt Hall from AvP2, maybe?
Isnt Wilks just Hicks renamed?

Yeah, he was hicks up until a3 came out, then they printed him as wilks

Quote from: Sexy Poot on Jul 12, 2013, 10:12:24 PM

Sort of. The original comic wasn't exactly faithful to 'Aliens' to begin with, so renaming him as Wilks kinda sorted out other continuity snags when he was meant to be Hicks. The book version by Steve Perry does a better job of differentiating him from Hicks.

Oh God, that would be the lamest reuse of molds in the history of NECA. Can you imagine? "Hey guys, it may look exactly like series 1 Hicks, but look! The package says 'Wilks'! And he comes with a scar painted on the side of his face! How awesome is that! What a great new figure!"
:laugh:
If it is a re-issue of Hicks the saving grace is that it will come with a flame thrower and generic armor, maybe even a helmet?
I'd rather see some one other than Wilks though, there's all the characters from the original Colonial Marines comic and Berserker that they could have done instead.

If true, welcome to the laziest toy line in history. Seriously, the figure will already be about 80% identical to the other two, mostly identical figures released, and yet they can't be bothered to sort out a head appropiate for one of the characters that's actually in the movie, for whom likeness rights aren't going to be expensive? It's way too early to start getting generic versions.
It's nice to hear that Bishop will feature next year, but we're not likely to get there if a line that's already filled with reused molds has a second series consisting entirely of repacks or re-releases.

From twitter:
Q: New Marine looks interesting, still no idea who it's supposed to be...
A: the new Marine is Sgt. Craig Windrix, named for Kyle's brother who is battling stage 4 stomach cancer. Our tribute to him
Q: Aww man! God Bless him!
A: indeed, 34 years old & given 6 mos to live. Lets hope he beats the odds & comes out on top.
Q: bloody hell :( I sincerely pray he wins that battle #NECAfamily
A: Amen & thank you. It's been rough
Q: That is an incredible thing to do for him. I wish him the best in his fight, and that figure will be mine.
A:I love how understanding and supportive you guys are about Kyles brother & the Marine tribute. It means a lot to all of us here. Thank you.
Man, that's beautiful. At first I wasn't too comfortable with the idea of owning a figure of someone who may pass away, but its actually a pretty good marine head sculpt, quite like it actually. Will definitely be getting this figure, its an awesome tribute :)
Really hope he fights this off, and makes out ok.
Yeah, burn the cancer away!
I like the new marine, and I wish the guy all the luck in the world, I have more than 1 family member who has battled cancer. Only 34 years old...damn.
I think I'll end up buying more than one of him. The flame thrower is a solid looking piece, shame there's no helmet but the fact he has long sleeves makes me want to pick up more than one. I can swap arms with my Apone, make a Crowe out of the hunger games head I'm using, and leave one whole.
YOU´RE AWESOME Neca! At first I was little dissapointed but then I changed of mind when I read Neca Twitter. In fact for me Apone, Drake and Vasquez coul wait and yeah the head sculpt looks TERRIFIC! He looks like he always has been a marine.
Just one question: who is Craig Windrix? I searched information but I onl found some pictures and that´s all.

I think he is the brother of one of the Employees of NECA or the toy industry.
the figure has hudsons webbing and legs. However the screaming marines with the helmets could be worth picking up

not thrilled about hicks and hudson in the two packs, however, I love the launching facehugger....LOVE! I also like the new ALIEN, I love how they repainted him and gave him a new body, plus the cat is a cool bonus.
Nice addition, though I really hope we´ll see smart gunners one day. What´s the deal with the huge egg?
I might get the two pack with hudson and the craig figures. The ALIEN looks the same as the other one to my eye but thats just me. With the damaged aliens are they like that permanently or do the detach or button mechanic cuz it kinda bothers me only because it looks outta place for some reason. All I need is that giger alien and runner(even though it sucks to me)and ill have the 3main aliens against my 3 main predators,oh and some marines.

They're the 2 Ups...just like they do with figures.
Series 2 is due out in November and the Hicks two pack is due out in October. I'm not thrilled that the Hicks was pushed from August to October, that means the Hudson two pack is pushed back even further.
I REALLY want the two packs.
Not to sound nasty but i dont think the Hendrix marine will sell well as nobody knows who he is and that its a tribute figure. It seems like they tried to get the Apone likeness and failed so turned it into thoughtful tribute figure. The screaming Hudson/Hicks figures dont really look like the actors in my eyes either :(
Sorry to sound negative about this but they aint doing it for me.
Guess I'll be the arsehole then. Really Neca? Whilst the thought is nice, this is an exclusive figure or some retailer special. It's not appropriate for the actual series... a series which has so far only had one wave of 3 figures released. And to be even more of a dickhead and say what's on my mind, who's really going to spend money (£15 for me) on a figure of a guy I don't know and never will, dressed up as iconic movie character? Thousands of people die everyday, but I don't necessarily want figures of them cosplaying.
I knew we were in for a disappointment with them coy about who it was, but "Remar as Hicks" would at least have made for an interesting what if figure within the line's universe (kind of like the Star Wars deleted scenes or McQuarrie concept figures).
Don't you guys have a heart? Craig is the one facing it and I am sure if that happen to one of your family members , you won't feel the same as you are now thinking.
Back to the topic, any marines are welcomed as long as they keep coming, I don't have the time and the craftsmanship for customizing figures,he has the flamethrower, long sleeved and the sgt patch. I can easily swap the head with other figs' head for more marines.
I'll buy this one for sure

I also like the new ALIEN, I love how they repainted him and gave him a new body
What i really like about the new Alien Classic is the skull inside the head. I dont know if they changed the sculpt or just the paint job, but the original was not cool >:(

I do have heart but using sympathy of a dying person to sell a product is weird. It would be a cool toy to have for those personally attached but not for a wide market as they wont know who he is. Neca has all be about likeness and authenticity fitting to whatever franchise they're selling. This guy (though sad) has no connections to the universe or history behind it. I'f i was selling this figure i'd put him with a 2 pack with a alien called "lone marine" or something...
my 2 cents. :)

Agreed...he'll be a great base figure.
Still dont know who this dude is.
He is the brother of NECA sculptor Kyle Windrix. (I found the name on the Aliens Xenomorph old version)
He suffer from cancer and was said only having a few months left. He looks cool as a marine and I think there are thousands of people in the marine corp, so having one originality don't bother, isn't it?
And by the way, if making a figure of him can bring him light to fight against cancer, there is nothing bad for the Decision. NECA is doing a good job this time, or you still want no marine in series 2 after all?
Quote from: Sexy Poot on Jul 18, 2013, 08:57:52 PM

From what I read he's the brother of some one (probably important) that works for Neca. He has stage 4 stomach cancer and this figure is basically a tribute to him.
So its no one from the movies, games or comics. Shame he doesn't come with a helmet to make the purchase even more worth while.

The joints and articulation. The original Neca figure had swivel joints and broke easily. Also I'm sure the sculpt is improved.
The giger alien is coming next year? WTF?
Apart from slightly differently positioned fingers, is there any real change? Does it have improved articulation such as double jointed knee's?
If we can't put it in the iconic "leaning forward pose" and a few others then what is the point?

He has (I've read) the same articulation as the new Xeno warrior.

BBTS is saying they'll be available in August. (Which in my experience with NECA figures means they'll hit stores sooner.)
QuoteBrand new version of the original 1979 Alien, which features an all-new sculpt with over 30 points of articulation and stands over 9 inches tall.
That is in series2 and the release date?

They're the 2 Ups...just like they do with figures.
The egg will be 4,5 inches:
"This 4.5″ tall Alien Egg is an incredibly detailed recreation of the mysterious eggs from the Alien films. Closed, the egg glows with an eerie green light... but press the button concealed on the back and launch a rubbery Facehugger high into the air!
Frighten your friends, your neighbors or your household pets. An incredible new item from the Aliens franchise!

I wanted an egg/face hugger that was in scale with the marines ::)

The Windrix armor is Hudson's with new graffiti. I couldn't tell what it was for sure by any of the pictures, but it isn't Hicks' heart/lock combo. It looks like it could be a heart (like Hicks, Frost, etc), but there's something else over it entirely.
Interview with Randy regarding the Windrix marine.

So a heart with his. Girl friend in it and a bowling with his father name on it at the back of Craig's armor?
Since he is official allowed by FOX, he is a canon character and we can expect. A story of him in the AVP universe.
Com' on, make a story of him, like the Arabian nights let us and Craig himself follow the story and prolong his will of living
thx for clearing that up dude

Very interesting, I hope they make on Ripley, Dallas and Bishop a good likeness.
On some figures Neca make a good likenes, on some a bad likeness(Iton Man Tony Stark face, Thor, etc.).
Top 3 Kenner figs for NECA to remake for me are:
1. Gorilla
2. Wild Boar
3. Snake
Gorilla looked strangely good for what the line was, but the snake and mantis will be the most intriguing high quality updates for me. They've got the right blend of being exotic and vicious. I'm interested to see how a decent modern artist might adapt them to looking more realistic.
Was really hoping we would get to see the queen.

Oh man...I'm psyched!!!
I HIGHLY recommend series 1. The warrior can pose in just about ANY way u can think up. Hudson looks off at first but when viewed from and angle (slightly above) he looks terrific. Hicks looks better than the online pics have him. Gonna pick up the 2-pack with his "close encounter" head exploding alien.

I've done this quite a few times and have never ruined a figure because of it. Just boil some water on the stove and put the figure in when the water begins to get hot. Keep an eye on it, and fish the figure out every now and then with a fork to see how it feels. Once it feels very rubbery and hot, it should be good enough. Gently move its parts around, then you should be good to go after the figure cools down.

*Drools*
Hicks with shotgunned alien is MINE. Passing on Hudson. The "damaged" alien is minimal change and the game over face is awesome. Thanks Tribal.
Hicks just has to be the coolest,they let hudson have a "duh" face keeping him effed up like the current one. Im dissappointed in that but the figures still look koool. I might get the hudson as I have the brown alien so it would keep it the same as of look.
Keep it up NECA just give hudson a neutral face already.
Oh I forgot about that yeah its brown just like the warrior thats been released. So blue is even a bigger reason to get the Hicks 2-pack.
Hudson's face is hysterical. Judging from that visible eye, his left must be looking somewhere else. It'll be the opposite of Series 1 cross-eyed Hudson. :laugh:
So basically Christmas for the two packs depending on how fast your favorite retailer or local place gets that.
I was hoping for sooner, but I guess this'll give me time to save up since I'd probably get two of each.
Am I the only one that prefers the Hudson to Hicks in these packs?
Since I don't like their over reacting expression, this time I will focus on the accessories and the damaged Xenos.
That is 1 pack respectively at most for me.
Hicks pack got shoulder lamp and motion tracer , Hudson pack got nothing more(wait for you guys' news for the look of the removed helmet head)
Hicks pack is more worth buying

I prefer Hudson as well. Just hope his eyes aren't all goofy. Though I am digging Hicks quite abit too, especially all the gear he's got. Going to try modding his shotgun sheath so it's on him the correct way.
Hey just bought my first Neca Hicks. Love the figure but the feet on mine are really loose, so loose that he pretty much just falls over no matter wat pose he's in. Is my figure defective or do they all have this problem? Any solutions to this? Thanks for any insight.

Mine's feet are fine, so it must just be yours. Normally if I get loose feet joints I pop off the feet and stick a small bit of blue tac in the joint, usually works pretty well.

I have a question about the figure stiffness problem,do I put it in boiling water or just hot water?
pretty common problem. I use super hot (not quite boiling) water and toss the figure, or problem area, in for about 2 minutes... take it out and gently move the stiff joint (DON'T FORCE IT) until it loosens up... if still stiff, leave it in again for another 2-5 minutes and try again. Its boring process, but better then forcing it to bend and possibly breaking it.
IF that doesn't work... it might have paint clog in the joint... just give up on life... cuz they you have to go in with an exacto knife (if you can) and scrape it out.

I've had a few marines where one foot is loos, not two. I've fixed most of them with a small amount of super glue placed in the boot socket. Rotate it while it dries and it'll build up resistance which will stop the joint from moving around in the socket.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give the super glue a shot.
I've been slowly working on a small Aliens diorama for my showcase on my website and I did a test shot. I hope you like it :)

I see warriors in the baaaaack.
From twitter:
Q: Do you guys think you will sell the black Alien from the genocide pack as a single figure at some point?
A: at some point yes but probably not before Series 5 or 6 if things go as planned
Q: This is exciting. I already have my genocide pack but for the line to be planed this far ahead! I expect great things
A: yes, sculpting figures for series 3 & 4 now. Hoping to do a Kenner homage with Series 5. Lots of good things planned
Yes!! Kenner homage in series 5 ;D

Damn, was really hoping we'd get Vas, Drake, Apone and Frost soon. Guess not.
Tribal making my morning again. Could you ask them next time if they know which 3 Kenner figures they plan to remake?
Gotta be snake & bull.
Made some eggs to go with the figures. Will be selling these soon. Made of latex.

Ooo I like the top of the one. It looks all goopy it's perfect!
I bought a Hudson figure at a local comic shop today, he's hilarious and awesome. I also saw Hicks, passed on him. His face sculpt just.... doesn't look like Michael Biehn to me. Maybe the helmeted two-pack one will look better, I dunno. Also passed on the Alien, I'm not big on the brown coloration.
That two-pack Genocide set... Is it essentially a repaint of the new brown Aien which is getting sold alongside the Hicks/Hudson figures or is there a sculpt or size difference?

Yeah, they are just re-paints, no sculptural or size differences. I highly recommend picking up a set, the black Alien looks stunning, and the red Alien is pretty neat.
I just told BBTS to ship mine from my "Pile of Loot", I'll likely get it sometime next week.

Agree or be wrong, the choice is yours!
I appreciate the posting and all the info, but the whole "rumor control" thing and "agree with me or be wrong" thing really makes you look a little douchey dude.

I'm beginning to wonder how long it'll be before we see another Colonial Marine from the films.

Worth pointing out that "rumor control, these are the facts" is a quote from 'Alien3'.
Not that I disagree with your opinion, mind you...
I saw something that Neca posted saying the Hicks two pack wouldn't be out till October.

Wow, I love the red alien, and the black is awesome too. I really hope the new Giger Alien has the same paint job.
And note to Raiden: There is no extra decoration/piece that comes with the 2-pack. By "decoration" I think they just mean the way the figures are "decorated" is exclusive to the 2-pack, not found anywhere else.

I've already found both Hicks and Hudson at a nearby Puzzle Zoo, as well as two Engineer variants and the Deacon from Prometheus. I must be one lucky guy. :laugh:

Will still buy this.

Q: would the future Dog Alien figure perhaps come with a dog/ox burster or queen facehugger?
A: probably not as the dog is quite large and would feature a lot of articulation. It will not be cheap to produce
Just in case anyone was curious.
Wouldnt mind paying a few extra $ above the usual neca price for a solid figure :)
Havent seen an update here in forever. I would buy the dog only cuz I own the 3 main preds so the 3 aliens have to be in possession.
So does this definitely mean the Queen will be a solo figure? O.o
There's no way Neca would release a queen and not release some eggs. It'd be heresy

If you check out one of my previous posts in this thread, I quoted NECA's twitter feed regarding my question as to scale-Alien eggs. They said eventually, they will produce them. I would also like to think they will produce facehugger figures in the more traditional skeletal-white color rather than the brown-tint from the AvPR series.

Indeed they do. I love the different appearance of Hicks in this one. Looks a lot more animated. Also, the added helmet means I might be able to look at him as a different marine so my display looks more like a squad rather than 2-3 versions of all the same guys. Geez, I wish they could release a Drake/Vasquez with Smartgun included. I'll be on the lookout for individual loose figures of the blasted Alien on eBay.
Just received the hicks vs xeno two pack and I am glad that I have William Fichtner as a new marine in the team. he is no way look alike Michael biehn thank god.
And by the way, the paint on the leather shotgun holster is far more superior than that of series 1. so if you are looking for a new marine and a better leather holster for you hick figure of series one, this two pack is a must buy

Def going to pick 2 of these up when they arrive at my local TRU.
This is the first time in my life that I feel great when buying a figure with the facial likeness of it different from the original character.

Could you upload some pictures?
Seconding that, although I'd love to see pics of the Alien from a bunch of angles.
Found these on tumblr and Raiden's right, this HS doesn't look much like Biehn. That being said though it's still a good looking head as far as character goes, I don't want or need a bunch of colonial marines with 1000 yard stares. The head does seem to be more yellow here than the original Hicks, so some painting might have to happen...
I'l probably order two or three of the packs from BBTS, one to keep a yelling Hicks and the other two for customizing fodder (I'm shamelessly doing it because I need more helmets for my grunts.)

Not yet. The most they've said about things Colonial Marine related is Bishop coming in series 3.
It sucks, I started up another smart gunner but I don't have the pieces to make another gun. I tried to make a mold for my current one and sliced my finger open (10 stitches worth) cutting the plastic to hold the mold.
The mold isn't even drying properly on top of that so it might all be in vein :-\

Got myself the Aliens Genocide two pack.
I really hope that it doesn't have stuck joints like most NECA figures do.

Anyone ever try the gijoe iron grenadier's smart gun? although it may be too short in scale.
The GI Joe smartgun would be way too small - GI Joe figures are (roughly) 1:18 scale, 3.75" tall.
The smart gun is 122cm according to the official data. While the gijoe's smart gun is around 9.5 cm, (about half way of a NECA figure), it is more or less 1 meter tall in scale with the neca fig. so is it still playable with the neca colonial marine?
What smart gun are you guys talking about?
The GI Joe 3.75" iron grenadier's smart gun. which is around 4" long too and it stands more or less to the NECA colonial marine's waist. although still a bit short, but not far. It is a good substitute at the moment before the actual NECA smart gun comes

seeing Hicks and Wipley wielding it reminds me the smart gun can be wielded without breastplate and this gijoe smart gun is more or less on scale(may be just a little bit smaller? NECA always make weapons smaller to my expectation)

Speaking as someone who owns the Iron Grenadier figure, the smartgun it comes with really would be too small for a NECA Marine.
Is this the smartgun you guys are talking about?
I looked up the Iron Grenadier figure and I remembered his gun looking an awful lot like this one a guy posted on NECA's facebook
If it the same one the size doesn't look too bad, but I think the length of my custom one is a little bit more to scale. That being said if I knew where to get these iron grenadier figures and if they could be bought for cheap, I'd probably try to hook my smart gun up with better pieces.
The custom I think using the GI Joe smart gun

Second half of January, according to NECA shipping callendar.
According to the fact that some people posted in this thread about NECA figures that are not only Colonial Marines, and that I can't find a thread about NECA's Alien (first) movie figures, I venture myself to share some info I got today :
NECA released a new pic of the Nostromo space suit sculpt, with nettings and details on FB.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/1496095_648345141894541_212606078_o.jpg (https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/1496095_648345141894541_212606078_o.jpg)
I hate to sound stupid, but I haven't follow the Alien/Predator NECA figures in a while. So is there any difference between the Alien Warrior figure and the old NECA Aliens '86 figure? I always wanted to get the new NECA stuff, but I never have the time and money to do so.
You mean the one that came out a couple of years ago? Well theres a huge difference I cant even list. Like articulation and shit like ball jointed hips,arms can bend all the way, legs can bend all the way,and other things.
I recently got hicks for christmas and I have to say even though I hate hicks the figure is pretty badass. That shotgun is boss, the pulse rifle is awesome,and his armor and clothes is just outstanding. I cant wait for the giger alien.

How could you NOT like Drake? ???
Been working on my smart guns and making a second head set. These are the WIP shots I did for a size comparison of the original and the "extended" one. They've since been painted up and I'l post some pictures once both gunners are completely done.

Waiting for your gunners' pics !
I finally decided to try a camo paint on my custom resin USCM helmets ; not super detailed or perfectly accurate though, but I like'em much more with this paintjob. Actually, I find Neca ones (which I don't intend to buy) a little bit too large and their colours too flashy.

Doesnt the second wave of figures supposed to be hitting the shelves by now? Any notifications or something?
Found a picture of Sgt Windrix's blister, so I assume the release is near.
My shop in France is expecting Neca series 2 figures around mid-February, and according to Neca's planning, you guys in the US should get your hands on them by the end of January or early February.

Aliens series has finally hit the shelf of Hong Kong today
Neca Series 2 on sale (separately / 3-pack) on their Ebay store, retrailers will soon get theirs.
Whatever happened to the Hudson 2-pack? I would have thought it was due to be released before Wave 2.
NECA says (http://necaonline.com/46445/products/toys/action-figures/aliens-7-action-figure-2pk-hudson-vs-brown-warrior-case-6/) its release is due February, so you won't have to wait much ;).
Still bullshit. I cant wait for the second series. Why are they pushed back anyway. I mean WTH.
Here's the review for the Giger Alien. Can't wait to get this figure I hope mines not as loose as this guys.

The first Windrix review I found a little embarrassing. I feel like he should have had his facts down first. But who am I to judge. :D
Anyone know who to contact to get replacements from Neca?
I just opened a Hicks/Alien 2 pack and the Alien's leg broke off as soon as I moved it.
I'm asking because I know at least one other person around here had such a problem and got a free replacement from Neca.
Thanks.
That might have been me - I had a Predator with 2 left hands.
I'd contact them on twitter (@Neca_toys), and I think their support email is twitter@necaonline.com
Thanks Xenomrph!
I'll give that a try tomorrow and let everyone know how it goes.
Did they end up replacing your figure? Did you have to provide pictures or send it back?
I sent them a picture of the figure with 2 left hands, and they ended up sending me a spare right hand they had kicking around the office and I made the swap myself.
For something more drastic like a broken joint like yours has, they'll probably suggest that you contact wherever you bought it from and try to exchange it through them first, and if that doesn't work then NECA will probably try and hook you up.
So Neca got back to me today. Indeed they said I should contact the original seller, which in this case happens to be a seller on Ebay.
But I'm confused... why should I make an Ebay seller pay for Neca's factory error? It doesn't feel like the moral or logical thing to do.
*confused*
I'm right there with you on that one - that's what happened with my Predator with 2 left hands, it was an ebay sale and it didn't seem right to make an individual eBay seller fix NECA's error. If it was a larger retailer who could afford to absorb the loss (TRU, BBTS, etc) that would be one thing, but not just some guy on eBay.
I suppose you could do what I did and make a half-hearted attempt to contact the seller, and then go back to NECA and say "the seller doesn't really want to cooperate since he says it's not his fault and he's kind of right, can you guys help me out?"
Worst case, the seller has you return the item and you get a refund. It might not be moral or logical for the seller to pay for NECA's mistake, but the absolutely least logical outcome is for *you* to pay for it. :P
Thanks for all that info.
You know... funny thing is I already have a Hicks/Alien two pack and I don't really need a spare. The reason why I was buying the spare in the first place was to swap the alien for parts to fix a broken Series 2 Blue Alien. When I opened the spare Hicks/Alien two-pack, I was screwed when the leg snapped off as soon as I moved it. What I really need is a spare Series 2 Warrior.
Please note I never complained about the Broken Series 2 Warrior because it was basically my fault that it broke. It's the Hicks/Alien 2 pack that was completely not my fault.
I'm in luck I think - I have actually ordered 2 Series Two Blue Aliens directly from Neca on Ebay. I guess I just gotta say it was the Series 2 Warrior that broke, and they'll probably have to send me a new one. This way they won't have to send me the spare Hicks either... just one figure. I can easily swap parts to show I do have a Series 2 Warrior with a broken leg.
LOL this sounds confusing I know. Everything went downhill when I broke a figure and then tried swapping parts. When the replacement 2-pack I bought arrived, that broke as well and was not my fault.
Took these before work, I'll take more of them when I get off. Just quick group shots

Those are some great Decals! Where did you get them? I've been using warhammer ones.
You may use some "nose art" military aviation decals (1/72 scale approx) :).
The group effect is awesome JokersWarPig !!
If I may add a suggestion, considering that you use to repaint some of the armor plates (to erase original names / decals), why don't you change a little bit the camo on NECA helmets too ? It really catches my eyes that their paint scheme is absolutely identical.
Speaking of that, what paint brand and colors have you been using? I'm going to guess testors model masters, but I feel like the citadel brand is easing to use for a quick job.
Personally I use Humbrol, Revell (both glycero) and Tamya (acrilyc) colors for my custom helmets (pictures here (https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1/1544304_10153661115965251_1429654384_n.jpg)).
Here are the references, if it helps.
main color :
Revell 40 (dark green)
dry brush stains :
Revell 48 (leaf green)
Revell 83 (red earth)
Humbrol 30 (charcoal green)
Tamya XF63 (german grey)
light brown camo stains :
Humbrol 93 (light earth)
little strips stains :
Humbrol 121 (sand)
helmet "headband" :
Humbrol 89 (brown)
lanyards / straps :
Humbrol 86 + Revell 83 (to create another brown nuance)
+ Tamya X1 (black) slight wash all over the camo scheme
+ flat acrilyc varnish coating to standardize the rendering (for I use both mate / shiny paints)

what colours do you recommend for the fatigues? been trying to recreate it but cant quite get it right :/
I use a slight black acrilyc wash with Tamiya X1, it comes out pretty well for armor plates' fatigues are mostly painted black on my NECA figures.
Lay some black where you want it, let it dry for 30s, then brush the black stains with a wet paintbrush to create fatigue effetcs, the black acrilyc will slightly vanish with the water.
You may also dry brush some particular spots with a silver (or any metal-like) paint to create bruises and shiny reflects on the helmets.
Here are a few more pics :)

Whats the best place to buy these? Are Hicks and the Warrior still available? I know they have been out for some time.
I don't know about stores in the US, but here in France a few shops still have them in stock (collecting figures is not a very popular hobby here).
You've got plenty of them on Ebay though, looks like the best option.

I mean the clothing under the armour sorry, wording isnt my strong point today :/
My bad too, I didn't get your point, I thought you meant something like "wear marks" or "battle damage" on the helmets / armor.
Well, the USCM BDU clothing have lighter colors than the armor / helmet / leg pads, but some of these colors are merely the same (except there are no greens).
I definitely see here tones I used for the helmets :
- german grey (Tamiya XF63)
- sand (Humbrol 121)
- light earth (Humbrol 93)
- and another earth tone more saturated than the 93, something like Humbrol 118 or 119, or close to tan
PS : the descriptions I make of the colors are not accurate according to the Humbrol chart, keep in mind only the reference number :)
I don't know where to post it, so here comes a new pic of Dallas' space suit :

I did so.
Sad new indeed, but NECA staff member Randy Falk said the brand will make a donation to the grieved family, which is very kind.

So after the Hudson 2-pack, that's it for now.
All good by me... With PotA coming and Funko's Legacy releases I don't mind having new marines next year. Besides, sounds like awesome Aliens action is coming outside of marines.
If that means Apone, Drake and Vasquez for the next year and the expected Alien Queen, then it`s fine for me.

I'm actually relatively ok with this. By the time I'm done with my customs I'd still need to purchase a few more Aliens, Bishop, and buy some f the new predators. It's one less thing to spend money on. Hopefully we'll see Vaz or Drake next, or even some EU/Video game marines.
I'm not complaining either, Neca released plenty of USCM recently, so a pause will do no harm and make more room for other figures (cool figures actually according to what Series 3 and 4 will be).
Rumors say the Queen will be released in some sort of a 35th anniversary deluxe box so as the Power loader, and at the same time (summer 2014), so 2 Aliens figures sold separately from the regular Series. Again, this is rumor control, but I read this somewhere.
Along with Weaver's likeness they just tweeted, maybe they will tell some more about Her Highness too at NYTF.
About the USCM next releases, I don't know if they're gonna get some actors likeness (Drake / Vasquez / Apone...) or if it's gonna be random headsculpts like Sgt Windrix (or out of video games), but one thing is certain : without a smart gunner and at least one black or female Marine, their USM line will be fading.
I brought Hudson at the weekend - I'm remembering why I don't anymore. He was hard to pose, his arms were very stiff and he just fell over. Boo.
Finally got my Windrix figure. Better late than never, my shop in France had some shipping issues with the customs.
Well, overall it's a great figure, but this time I encountered some quality issues :
- 2 unpainted spots on the face, that's disappointing (one on the nose, one on the neck), I had to correct this with model kit paint
- both elbow joints were stuck, it means I had to put really great force to make them move (at first I thought they were glued)
- the front end of the flamethrower is badly glued, it's still in good position but the glue spread out... a 5mm blot that is (hopefully this side of the gun is not visible on display)
- the body armor was glued to the body in a weird position, I had to remove it and place it properly
Can't say that I'm disappointed with this figure, it adds a great colonial Marine and a new face to the collection.

According to this article, it sounds like we shouldn't expect any more Marines for quite awhile: http://www.figures.com/forums/news/49052-tf14-neca-aliens.html (http://www.figures.com/forums/news/49052-tf14-neca-aliens.html)
"Colonial Marines fans, you've had a great run with recent releases but don't expect to see any more until at least next year."
So after the Hudson 2-pack, that's it for now.
I'm actually relatively ok with this. By the time I'm done with my customs I'd still need to purchase a few more Aliens, Bishop, and buy some f the new predators. It's one less thing to spend money on. Hopefully we'll see Vaz or Drake next, or even some EU/Video game marines.
I too am OK. My customs have scratched the itch of more characters. I may or may not attempt any smart gunners, but for now I am nearly done with my full squad and don't need new NECA figures to live.
They need a lot of refinement (correct graffiti, cleaned up rough edges, fine tuning, etc) but here is my squad:

Apone is the MacFarlane Candyman only very slightly tweaked.
Frost is a MacFarlane Alfonso Soriano baseball player.
The baseball players are great for a huge variety of faces/heads, but they vary in scale wildly. Some heads are way too small, some way too big.
I've been working on some stuff recently, getting pretty decent with casting and making molds so I figured I'd ask this.
Would anyone be interested in a resin cast of my Smart Gun/Chest Piece/Head Set? They aren't completely screen accurate but they can get the job done.
Casting has become pretty gun for me to do in my spare time, and I figured it might help some people complete their squads. Providing casting them is successful that is.

That's Windex. :P
Kyle Windrix is one of the NECA sculptors who has done a lot of the Alien and Predator figures, Sgt Windrix is a tribute figure for his brother who recently died of cancer. Apparently after the plans to make an Apone figure fell apart, they needed a new figure to fill the slot in the wave roster so they came up with "Sgt Windrix".
i guess this is my first post...

Cool stuff. With the marines, did you try to make some more unreleased men form the film? I can tell that several are modified.
Folks, you heard it from me first !

Another marine for the squad. My Dietrich:
(still need to repaint her helmet cover)
Wow, glad to see how large this forum has gone after starting this thread B)
From twitter (BTW I didn´t ask):
"When's the earliest we can expect a marine with a smart gun? @NECA_TOYS When's the earliest we can expect a marine with a smart gun?" 2016"
Well at first I thought :( But considering this year we´ll have AVP predators (Finally!....Sure, the movies are crap but the designs are AWESOME), both Ripley from Alien and Aliens and more over the frigging awesome power loader, not mention I have to get my Alien Queen so I could wait Drake and Vasquez 8) but please PLEASE NOT THE STUPID MARINES FROM ACM >:(, but if NECA do the Predators and human characters from the AVP Arcade game by Capcom I´ll die happily and they´ll nail it.
I mean there's nothing wrong with how the ACM marines look so I don't see a problem there at all.
It'll be nice to be able to upgrade my current smart gunners, and possibly start another squad of marines.

In terms of design the marines are not bad but they are so unlikeable.
BTW from twitter again:
I guess everybody here are aware but...
1)"Dear NECA would you do more colonial marines from the movie or videogames (PLEASE NO FROM THE ACM GAME!)?
@NECA_TOYS
Follow Follow
@gridseeker from the aliens '86 movie in 2016 hopefully" Again fingers crossed.
2) Not Colonial Marines but sorta:
" I´m sorry again! Do you have plans to make the Predators and humans from the AVP arcade game by Capcom? That would be AWESOME!
@gridseeker no plans at present :( Anyway, still fingers crossed. You never know...
At the top of my list for the next wave of this line would be Vasquez, Drake, Apone. If they make those then I'll pick up the rest!
I know they said they would at some point But I don't think they will ever make more marines.We were lucky to get 3 (Windrix wasn't in the movie so 2 technically) imo.Look at the predator and terminator lines for humans and especially not females.
I think even kenner aliens will have priority over any marines.Sucks they think humans wont sell because I myself only bought into the aliens and predator lines because they had humans to go with the monsters at last.
I believe Neca said we would be seeing more Marine characters in 2016. I don't like it and I'd prefer we see some more movie marines wit the release of at least the Aliens version of Ripley, but for what ever reason that's not how they're doing it. The marines being pushed to 2016 also probably has to do with the Alien Isolation figures being released.
I don't agree with Isolation getting its own figures this early, but that's mostly because I'd rather see Neca figures based on AVP2010 (Marine, Predator and Aliens alike) and ACM first.
In my mind the Kenner Aliens and Predators just seem like the natural progression of their respective lines, but since NECA is moving into the comic's and video games I think it'd make more sense to do figures based on the AVP titles before anything else. There's lots of variety for all three species that way

Well that sucks :( I hope the actors change of mind as Sigourney Weaver did.
It's unfortunate that they don't have the likenesses, but they could just give us a work around similar to the Windrix marine.
Windrix is basically Apone with a different skin tone, a different persons likeness and no pistol holster or binoculars. If they made a generic female Smartgunner then we could easily customize her to make her into Vazquez.
I'd personally love to see Drake (or a generic male smart gunner based on him) because his uniform was more unique to me than Vaz's. He had the flak vest, base ball cap, bone necklace. I like Vaz in the movie, but Drake would have more character as a figure imo.

I totally share your point of view, the likeness thing shouldn't stop them from making a rocking smart gunner with a bandana / cap / flak jacket / tattoo like Drake, a black grunt like Frost, or a thin female Marine like Dietritch.
Not the whole accurate bunch but at least iconic "lookalikes" should really do the trick for many of us fans IMO.
Wasn't there talk of doing some of the characters from AvP(2010) and Colonial Marines? Has anyone heard anything? All I ever read on Twitter is Randy denying having the likeness rights of all the characters other than the ones we have from ALIENS.
I've seen NECA say that AVP 2010 is being considered, but further down the line. It's a gold mine though. Tons of Predator and Marine sculpts ripe for being reused for variants.
Perhaps that's one of the surprises in store for this upcoming year!
Perhaps there´s some light at the end of the tunnel!? :o

I'd prefer Vasquez to Drake, but I'd prefer Drake to no smart-gunner at all.

The game certainly didn't tarnish the film any. However, the models/characters in the game would make great figures. Another typical example where the merchandise from a release is better than the actual release, be it movie, game, comic, etc.
I didn't mean I didn't want to see O'Neil or any of the Marines/Aliens from ACM. I just think that Drake would be the best option for their first Smartgunner release.
I'd love to see Winter, O'Neil, Bella and Cruz made. The Weyland-Yutani mercenaries would be cool too.
Of the aliens we see in the game, as much as I like the spitter design I would really want a deluxe Crusher.

In some way you have a point, for instance the predators and aliens from both Avp flicks: sure, the movies are a kick in the fan´s balls but at least the designs were awesome; however ACM my god, the game is so bad I didn´t fancied even the human characters.

Actually I liked the design of the WY mercenaries but still I stick with the commandos from Alien 3.
I think we ultimately have to be thankful for what we have. If I really hated the first AvP, I wouldn't spend my money on toy replicas of the creatures, you know? Likewise with the games.
How did you do the arms for Frost? I have been dying to make a figure of him!
I am eager to see what they will reveal for the Aliens day. Even if it is ACM stuff lol.
Would anyone like to see more figures based on characters(classes) from AvP Extinction? Thoughts?

I'd love to see more stuff from the video games and comics. I think it's brilliant NECA are expanding like that.
I attended the 30th anniversary screening of ALIENS in Los Angeles last night, where the special guests were Ricco Ross, Jenette Goldstein and Carrie Henn. All three of them, including Ricco, confirmed they had action figures in development, and had seen the prototypes from NECA. Jenette had said the primary reason it took so long to get a "Vasquez" figure is that there was a note attached to her information filed away at Fox stating that she would never allow her likeness to be used, which she claims she knew nothing about. This was apparently something Carrie Henn also had an issue with, saying she was totally happy with NECA's decision to go forward with a "Newt" figure.
Ah. That's good to know. I remember seeing NECA always saying likeness issues and some of the actors saying "no issue on our end."

I'm actually most interested in how they'll get the rig/harness to work, and be poseable without being fragile at that scale. Also if it comes with that muzzle flash as an accessory, then that's totally awesome.

Via NECA and Jeanette Goldstein's Twitter.
I don't normally like the human figures but hot damn, I want this.
Absolute must buy! ;D
Looks incredible!
Good likeness of the actress captured in plastic,nice level of detail for the bandana.
LET'S ROOOOOCK
The muzzle flash looks cool
that likeness......it's amazing. Hoping for tank top/pulse rifle only vasquez next! Love that operations scene in the red!

2 more awesome Marines to add to the collection! Big thank yous to Ricco and Jenette for working with FOX and granted likeness rights! You're making the fans so happy! Hopefully NECA can keep this trend rolling!
Ah... this is absolutely terrific.
Newt, Vasquez and Frost all gearing up for some 7 inch tall carnage on Collector's shelves. That should even out the odds against them pesky Aliens!

Series pics.
Frost and Vasquez look goddamn amazing, holy shit.
Frost is Drivin'!
I've been away for some time, and holy shit -if I may say so- I discover these two Marines to come. Oh my, they look absolutely gorgeous !
Even if my hive diorama is gonna be crowded I don't care, I might get rid of Windrix but I definitely got to get these ones. Damn, I can't wait !
Just make room for them! :)
Think I'll be picking up a Vasquez for sure to go alongside my Alien Ripley.
So happy to finally be getting Vasquez.
One thing that bothers me is that Frost has a removable helmet for obvious reasons.
So, public opinion on the rest of the Aliens cast as action figures? Do you guys want to see everyone or just specific people?
Some of the other Marines would be kinda neat, but I doubt I'd buy all of them unless they actually were making figures for all of them (and it sounds like that's out of the question).

For me it would be the ideal scenario, still I think it would be quite difficult to get the likenesses of the entire cast including those who had passed away as the actor who played Crow.
I'm one of those who think Marines are needed in large numbers to make squads, no matter the likeness (even the video game Colonial Marines, or pure custom / invented characters), but if the question of making the whole 1986 USCM cast should stand, I'd say the same as Xenomorph : I'd like to see that done, but a lot of collectors would not buy'em all unless the WHOLE cast was to be made. Which is not gonna happen, sadly, we all agree on this.
For still remains the likenesses issue : we're all glad Jenette and Rico gave theirs, kickass long-awaited figures to come, but I don't think ALL of the USCM cast will eventually agree to that.
Besides of Crowe (RIP), remember the Apone case : he refused and NECA made Sgt Windrix instead. Not a bad figure though, and let's be honest : at the time it was released we needed it to add a little diversity to our collections (and flamethrowers !). Yet, it wouldn't stand a chance today against the iconic real-cast figures to come (and let's hope they're not the last ones !).
If you asked me, I'd really like to see "petite" soldiers for a change, with a real woman body I mean : Dietritch and Ferro would be great assets to any collection. And Drake, of course !
It is my personal goal to have all the NECA Alien and Predator movie figures. The way I see it, as more actors and actresses allow their likeness to be used, it will show those who haven't that there is a demand for it. And, quite frankly, it's an easy way to make money without really doing a lot. I'm sure it's more complicated then a simple signature that says "Go for it" but even so, to be a legendary movie star and NOT want your character created in an action figure? Man...I hope they have a better reason other than "don't feel like it"
There have been actors who specifically didn't want their likeness used for action figures because they thought it was demeaning to be made into a "toy". It's the reason why we didn't get a Dwight (Clive Owen) figure for the Sin City line, and why it took so long to get a Hannibal Lecter figure.

I guess I can understand that logic because when I think of toy, I think of the Kenner stuff that bares little to no actual likeness and something that 7 year olds will drive their RC cars into and use for NERF gun target practice. Highly detailed accurate adult collectible? Sounds appealing to me lol.
I'm keen on any marine from Aliens that sees a release, and any variations. I'd like to see all of them done, but it doesn't sound like that's gonna happen. If we only got one more I'd want Ferro in full flight suit and helmet, just because she's a different look than what we've got so far.
Yep, I want Ferro before Drake.
(And he's not a marine, but Burke is my number one want now that Vasquez and Newt are on their way (I know there is no chance :( )).
I would be really happy if we got all nine marines that went into the reactor. Otherwise getting Burke and Gorman would be a priority. Do not have a huge desire for Ferro or Spunkmeyer.
Drake is highest on my want list.
While I absolutely want to have the entire cast, I know this is very unlikely. My top Marine to have that they don't have currently would be Apone.
As I said, it´s very unlikely to get the entire Sulaco crew but with patience and perseverance NECA would get the likenesses of Apone and Drake, afterall if they could get Sigourney Waver´s likenesses then everything is possible.

Exactly. Weaver is the star and they got her, why the smaller names in the film haven't jumped on is just silly. Lord knows NECA paid more money for Weaver's likeness than Paxton or Biehn. Or any of the others they have made/will make.
A few new shots from NECA of the Vasquez figure
How I do look forward to #facehuggerfriday. It looks like we will get a "firing" detail to put on the smartgun. Great idea.
Vasquez is really looking great!
New pics from Neca.
Cool, we're finally getting screen accurate pistols for those !
Guess Vasquez will have hers too.
Damn. These are looking better than any of their other human releases imho.
Glad they went with a neutral facial expression. They look great.
Pic of Newt fig at SDCC.
I hope they release her eventually.
My Hiya Toys Hicks is finally in stock after I pre-ordered in April so I'm pumped. Always wanted Colonial Marines in like a G.I. Joe form.
Any word regarding Newt's distribution internationally/post-con? NECA's exclusives have been pretty easy to come by in the past (from memory), but I remember reading Randy saying something about having dramas with this one.
Was anyone at SDCC who might have an update?
on twitter yesterday he confirmed that he is still working on a plan to get her out. then today he answered a question with a question of her being in a 2 pack. 2 pack tweet could of been vague on purose or really just asking "who said a 2 pack"
2 pack of Ripley in leather jacket and Newt.
Just sayin' ;)
I'd rather a two pack of Control Room Ripley and Burke. Theyve given us Newt already. Sure she will be expensive to add to the collection, but she exists.
Or maybe a Burke & Gorman two pack?
Also wouldn't mind a Johner, Christie and Elgyn series.
Finally got my Hiya Toys Hicks! I'll have to post a picture soon.
It's still in the package but it looks like a miniaturized version of the NECA Hicks. Really good detail, points of articulation, and paint job. The face is less detailed than NECA and doesn't resemble Michael Biehn too much but overall it's cool.

With that logic, we already have 5 versions of Ripley...
Newt needs to be released as a typical figure. The prices are absurd.

You guys all realize how difficult it is to get these actors' likeness rights, correct? NECA has already stated they are only doing Ripley, Xeno Warrior and the Newborn from Resurrection. I believe they are only doing those for completionist sake, as Randy has expressed his dislike of the film.
When I spoke to William Hope at Comicpalooza regarding the possibility of a NECA figure, he said he had not been contacted.
I really wish they'd do a Johner figure, I'm pretty sure Ron Perlman would allow the use of his likeness.
I mean, as far as the marines go, Neca could just use the likenesses from the games to add more marines.
For a Lieutenant outfit like Gorman's they could just use one of the many random characters from ACM and put him in fatigues instead of armor.
ACM and AVP10 have a TON of potential for figures and I can't wait for Neca to get to those.

Agreed. However, I personally want the actor likenesses. I would love to be able to own the entire cast of Alien and Aliens in toy form from NECA (and Predator as well, even though that seems less likely than the aforementioned).
After they finish with Kenner, it'd be awesome to see Neca make a line based on the AvP arcade game. I'd would love to see a Linn Kurosawa action figure.
Good point, I didn't consider the difficulty of getting everyone's likeness rights.
Check out the custom figure thread. There's some really good customs of Linn Kurosawa and Dutch from the AvP arcade game!

You´re not the only one here, I asked many times to NECA by Twitter if they have plans to do figures based on those characters and so far no plans :( Still I have fingers crossed.

Fantastic! That'll make folk happy! I saw someone trying to flog a Newt for $300 on eBay. :laugh: He wont be getting that off anyone!
Hell yeah! ;D That´s my boy Randy!
Now this is good news ! Can't wait to get this one.
Next week it is:
https://twitter.com/NECA_TOYS/status/764197865002528768
Randy expressed an interest in doing a Wierzbowski figure if Trev's estate agree to let them use his likeness. I tagged ADC in the post and something may some of it. I know I'd love a Wierzbowski!
Now I'm imagining a Wierzbowski figure box with nothing in it, since his only real moment in the film is not being there when Hicks calls his name. :D

Missed the opportunity to get that Ripley originally. I might get this, especially if Newt still comes with the extra helmet.
I see NECA stole my (unposted) flame thrower idea :laugh: ::)
I've had a diorama planned for a while and used McFarlanes COD flame thrower fire for one of my Marines the way they did for Ripley's
Seeing those pics is kinda making me wish that NECA made a "hive wall", kind of like the Predator 2 trophy wall and upcoming AVP temple column they did/are doing. You could literally almost completely recreate that scene if you had one of those, since there'll soon have released this Ripley/Newt combo set, and we've already got eggs, warriors and the Queen.
Would have definitely got the SDCC version of Newt, but I'm going to pass on this sadly.
Damn... I like this Newt figure, allright, but I'm kinda disappointed it's not similar to the SDCC one, so I'm definitely not buying a 55€ pack for such a small "piece of plastic" and a second slightly improved A2 Ripley.

Same here. Quite happy with my original Ripley and I liked all the additional bits that came with the first Newt. Can't justify the cost. Oh well.
I'd wanted to get a second Newt for display without the helmet, but given the prices the SDCC exclusive is going for, this is a perfect solution. I'll happily add this Ripley to my Power Loader since she looks a little more aggressive with that face.
... and of course I will have to get a second one just to display in the packaging, which is awesome!
Amazing figs!
Gonna make sure I actually pick one of these up! They look incredible. I missed out on Hicks.
You missed out on Hicks? That just seems wrong somehow...
I did manage to grab a Hudson so there's that. :laugh:
That Hudson figure is absolutely perfect.

Nice pics Dagger! :o However, I think you'll need Hudson spouting out lines in comic bubbles.
Hope Vasquez hits the UK soon. Looks like a really good figure.
I picked up Vazquez and 2 Frosts today (needed a correct helmet for my Hudson).
Vazqueze is honestly the most consistent figure I've seen neca produce paint wise. None of the ones my comic shop had looked any different from the other's on the rack.
some Frosts had a few chips on the face, or an eye that wasn't completely white. I'm going to pick up the albino "drone" next, I love the look of them even more now that I've seen them up close

Okay I'll bite, what's wrong with Hudson's helmet from the prior release? I don't have the figure (I have the unhelmeted "GAME OVER MAN" version) so I never paid attention to it. I also didn't realize the helmets were removable from the helmeted figures.
In the movie Hudson has the camouflage cover on his helmet with graffiti on it, Necas version has the graffiti and it has the cloth texture, but it's painted like Hick's helmet. The helmet Frost comes with is what Hudson's should be, minus the graffiti.
Recieved my Vasquez today from the US, I couldn't wait, Frost will come later from the UK, so here comes a little feedback on our beloved female smart gunner.
Vasquez is an oustanding figure, the likeness is absolutely gorgeous, all the details they put in the gear and the weapon are astounding, super stable also (no loose joints), it really beats all the previous USCM released to the date especially when displayed next to the others, a major addition to any Aliens collection.
However, two matters of disappointment with this one :
- the iconic ADIOS is not painted on the smart gun, although it was on every picture they released !!
- the camouflage on her pants is different from the previous NECA USCM (Hudson, Hicks, Windrix), the pattern has been simplified, the colors are different (see attachment), and the "combat issued" wash effect isn't even here... so it breaks the group unity when you put them all side by side and I had to correct it with a paintjob... hope Frost didn't get the same treatment, we'll see...
Overall, one of the best figures NECA ever released, even if some details they could have easily taken care of somehow limit my enthusiasm. Pardon the crappy hive picture, I'll take a better one later ;)
I'm ecstatic about Vasquez and Frost. Really rounds out my Colonial Marines display. Randy hinted recently there might be more Marines on the way. Wonder if we might see one in Series 11? That will be a mixed wave and the only announced figure so far is compression suit Lambert with 2 head sculpts....
I'd really only be interested in Apone and Drake at this point. Maybe Ferro. No need for any other humans from that movie in my display.
Apparently Hicks and Hudson WILL be re-released in a two pack with 2 heads (screaming and non-screaming). I actually think this is really good news, hopefully they'll be made similar to Vaz with the flesh tone injected plastic as opposed to painted on to avoid paint errors.
I'll probably pick up one of two of these packs either way, need some more parts to build a few more grunts for my "Platoon" ;D

I saw a tweet from NECA on another forum saying that they're doing this because people have asked so much, and they're also looking into doing the flesh colored plastic. So the same molds, but probably better QC when it comes to paint apps

Was only a matter of time. NECA really has delivered above and beyond every fan's dream of collecting official merchandise and having cool displays of said stuff.
For those that continue to hate on them for quality, customer service or the inability to handle negative criticism, please keep in mind that while those are definitely founded complaints, you have to give them credit for the depth of their lines and the official likenesses they are granted. You really aren't going to get any better in terms of figure size, variety, articulation and price.

You sure can. That's what I am hoping for as well. 3 of each figure huh? May I ask why? Do you open them all?
two i'll open, the
third one i'll throw in storage
one to play,
two display and
three backup, to cannibalize if need be... (sh...sht...shit happens, i play hard ;D, that one GF >:(, moving >:()
ever see TOY STORY, remember BUZZ and WOODY's owner next door neighbor, thats was me as kid when it came to toys, now that i'm all grown up old habits die hard :laugh:
in years past i've brought one to only regret not picking up another when i had the chance too and being shit out of luck
so depending how much coin i have to play with i'll usually pick up 2-3 of a certain character that i like
I was watching a recent-ish interview with Bill Paxton from Comic-Con and he was talking about how his action figures left a little to be desired and they cut to a different shot of the NECA figure. Couldn't work out if he was ragging on the sculpt or the expression they gave him. Got to admit though that chickenshit expression they gave him turned me off buying it.

Ironically that's his famous game over face. I got mine autographed by Mr. Paxton himself earlier this year!
I just bought my Hicks vs battle damaged Alien and I've a problem with Hicks legs, one of them can't move forward but can move outward, while the other leg can't move outward but can move forward.
I've had that happen to me. It's honestly a little bit risky, because if you force it it'll break the joint. Try using a hair dryer or hot water to loosen the joint and then ease it in the direction that's giving you trouble and hope for the best.
I've had 2 Hudson arms break at the bicep joint because of this. I think it has something to do with the paint they use.

Do you have any guide or video teaching how to do that? Those figures are pretty expensive here in Brazil.
Neca needs to do an ATAX figure

I'd buy one without a second thought.
Same. It was one of the first things I asked for when they announced they were doing NECA stuff.
I'd be interested in Atax. I know I'd want the Kenner versions of Hicks and Drake, those were two of my favorite figures when I was younger. I played with them till the paint chipped off and they were practically broken :laugh:

Hicks seems like a no-brainer (just repaint the helmeted Hicks figure we've already got), but only if he comes with the missile launcher. I'm still pretty miffed that the "Kenner Ripley" came with a smartgun instead of her kickass flamethrower. That was an absolute dealbreaker for me.
I'd be over the moon if a hypothetical NECA ATAX figure had actual removable armor. Shit, I'd pay like $40-$50 for a figure like that, no question.
Don't give them ideas. :laugh: The figure-less power-loader is too much money for my liking.
For removable armor I think that it should have price simmilar to Scarface or the Kenner clan leader.
Unless it came with two figures, one on armor and one out of armor, then I think they could justify the price of $40 to $50
I'm thinking $40 is fair because in order for the armor to do ATAX justice, it's going to take up the same plastic mass as basically 2 figures. It's ATAX the human, plus basically enough accessories to attach to him that make him literally double in size.
A $100 price tag like we had with the Queen and Power Loader would be too much. The Queen at $100 is fair I think, but the Loader (and the Predator Blade Fighter) should have been priced closer to $75.
This is my last custom of 2016. Well, he may be the first of 2017 because I'm not sure how I feel about his armor graffiti.
McFarlane Connor head/Arm band on Hicks's body. I may also put the other arm band on his other bicep.

I think it's nicely done, face / gloves /graffiti and arm band make it look like a brand new platoon member.
I wouldn't worry much about the graffiti you put, at this scale you did pretty well, though I would have added a little white "make-up" around the "Big Bad Wolf" to hide the contours you cut, to make it look like a cartoon explosion or something like that. I would have dissimulated the hole in the shoulder armor too, (looks "Hicksy").
I guess I already told you that, but if you find the graffiti not satisfying, you may try model kits nose art decals (1/72 scale), they would fit right on. You can also consider customizing or accessorizing the helmet in the style of Full Metal Jacket :).
Good job anywway !
Thanks Vark, I actually am looking into the smaller scaled decals for some marines I have planned.
With this guy I wanted the top decal (Big Bad Wolf) to look as if it was a sticker, kind of like Frost's "Nuke'em" sticker.
The wolf head is something I like, but that was the best I could cut it sadly. I may try to "tear" little chunks out of it to make it looks worn and beat to make up for the sloppy application

Had to get all the other options out first so you could buy those!
Honestly, I do like when they do this for collectors who want the figures but don't want to pay extreme prices for earlier sculpts, especially for those who want to open to display but don't want to ruin the package...
Better late than never with the interchangeable heads. It'd have been nice if it came with an extra helmet, or a head set to put on Hicks
Some camera time for the Power Loader
Pretty new to the game of NECA collecting. Just started this past Sept. I figured if I was gonna get Aliens/preds/Colonial Marines, that I better get started on a few Dios to pose them in. Took me bout a month to do this Space station Corridor.

^ Awesome corridor diorama. I'd really like to put one together myself.
Has anyone seen the pictures of the new auto turrets? Someone on another forum I go to shared a picture NECA shared on twitter. I'm unable to post it myself right now (still at work) but it looks great.
Edit: Home now, here it is
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi214.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fcc175%2FJokersWarPig%2Fturret_zpsc7p6s2g6.jpg&hash=b7fbdeea505682568af4e1347b9efa880d76f8dd) (http://s214.photobucket.com/user/JokersWarPig/media/turret_zpsc7p6s2g6.jpg.html)
That thing is pretty neat, I'll probably pick one up depending on the price and how they release it. Like, it's it just 1 turret? 2 turrets in a pack for $10 or something? Has NECA said?
I know they previously showed what the entire pack would consist of and (unless they changed their minds) one pack would have 2 turrets, a pulse rifle, flame thrower, knife and flash light. I think a better idea would be to add a helmet and armor with no name or graffiti on it, but I'm happy just to get the turrets.
The creature pack at my comic shop is $20.99, and a deluxe predator is $28.99. I'm guessing it'll go for just under $30

Yeah, the knife and flashlight feel like filler, but I could use the flamethrower for sure.
A helmet (Frosts) has been added to the weapons pack.
I'm at work so I can't post the picture but it includes
Sentry gun - 2x
Sentry ammo box (?) - 2x
Flame thrower - 1x
Pulse rifle - 1x
Hicks shotgun - 1x
VP70 - 1x
Knife - 1x
Flash light - 1x
Helmet - 1x
Medic/Equipment bag - 1x
Flamethrower effect - 1x
Unknown firing effect - 1x
Got my two pack(s) while I was at work today. Took some quick pictures since some one on another forum had asked, and on another forum a lot of people seemed worried because there's been a lot of talk about poor paint app's on the heads and rubbery weapons.
For the most part the set is great, my only complaints are that the armor is missing the black wash of the first release and that the weathering on the armor seem's to have been done haphazardly on both my Hudson's shin armor. Both of these are easy fixes though.
On another forum I read someone mention "gummy" weapons (like Frosts Flamethrower) but all the weapons I received are fine. The weapon slings and the piece of armor that hangs from the back of the helmet are a softer plastic though, which works for those parts imo.
Besides the new flesh tone plastic I think the best part is Hudson's more accurate helmet. Even if they didn't paint his helmet band, I'm really glad they fixed all the other parts of it for this release.

I think the main reason people have complained about poor face paint is due to the fact that these guys come in the new flesh colored plastic. quirks in the paint of the eye's and other area's can be more easily seen on it than the previous releases, but I got mine online via Toys R' Us and only got one head with eye's that seemed wonky.
Indeed the re-release of the series 1 grunts brings a few differences, I notice the faces changed somehow (especially Hicks, with his frown and what looks like a stubble beard paint).
But don't you think this "plastic" looking skin is actually made on purpose, so that they look sweaty ?
Noticed this on my Vasquez figure, looks great IMO.
I prefer the new version's skin colored plastic to the old version. Not that there's anything wrong with the old versions (I'll still be using the old versions for customs), but this does look a lot better and they don't look as "off" when you stand them with Vaz.
Mine have arrived too. I really like them in-hand. I was a bit worried by the close-up pics I'd seen online, it made the heads look a little... cheap?
My only problem is that my helmeted Hicks' head is a little cross-eyed. Since I have both previous releases, I was thinking about trying to remove the helmet and put it on the un-helmeted head. Anyone have any success doing this, and if so, any tips? I don't mind detroying the head that is currently in the helmet.
I just dremeled out the little post that are left when you pop off the helmet and they both look great. I'm not really a fan of the screaming heads, so I'm happy to have helmeted normal versions of these guys.

I used a flathead and pried up around the sides popping the glue then dremeled the peg like Mister Skeezler. I don't like he screaming heads either so I'm using them for customs. I know they were going for a certain scene with Game Over Hudson but I honestly wish he had a more neutral expression.

Awesome! Thanks heaps, it looks great.
I really like that you didn't have to pare down the neutral head to get the helmet to fit.
Sorry Otter, just noticed your comment, but it looks like sir_bobos took care of it. I really like having the option to put the helmets on the neutral heads, and it makes me want more marine figures.
I'm planning on using the older Hicks and Hudson figures to make some other, generic marines.

Alien Day figure from Neca is Kenner Vasquez, just a heads up!
Only available to Club Members though. Will probably make it's way onto wider release at some point like the Ripley figure last year.
https://thenecastore.com/collections/neca-club-x-alien/products/aliens-7-scale-action-figure-alien-day-vasquez
I would have preferred Kenner Hicks, but I hope that ends up being a wide release. I missed signing up for the alien club by a day.
There's another link for non club members.

That looks incredible. "Then they're right on us!!!"
Wow... that detail on her trousers - every single stitch and seam is one thing but the surface emulation of cloth material is stunning. Texture, wrinkles, creases - they're all present. Fantastic sculpting right there.
This is a 7 inch figure.
-Windebieste.
It's a great sculpt, finely detailed right down to the fabric on her bandana.
I've never been keen on these paint and design variations on any NECA Alien figure (Kenner and stuff), but I have to admit this one is really top notch. However, the Vasquez sculpt was already so great that the figure couldn't be messed up in any way ;D.
I'm not collecting the Kenner stuff, but that Vasquez is brilliant.
Pics of the upcoming Marine accessory pack from Neca.
Glad to see they included the control computers for the sentry guns.
I'll probably end up with two weapon sets to be honest.
I read series 12 was going to be Aliens themed again, I'm guessing we'll get the Hadley's Hope sign as a delixe prop like the trophy wall/temple pillar. I'm wondering what other characters we'll see though since nothing's been announced besides the weapons pack?
If the series ends up being all humans I'd hope it includes Drake, Deitrich and Goreman.
Drake and Gorman would be great... but I really want Ferro. With a switch-out helmeted head.
And I hope there's a Bourke SDCC exclusive this year!
Unless they've changed their schedule, Series 12 is 'ALIEN: Resurrection' themed. We've already seen Ripley teasers and a Lacrima rifle for this wave.
-Windebieste.
they have changed their schedule
series 12 is an aliens series, and it will contain a new marine
i think 13 is kenner and 14 is resurrection at this point
this comes from neca
we should get the reveal at sdcc
i think the sdcc exclusive will be aliens themed as well
I'm not surprised. NECA's schedule's are frequently late and/or all over the place. Mind you, there's so much 'ALIEN' related stuff coming out from them. There's also the 'PROMETHEUS' Lost Wave content and 'ALIEN: Covenant' figures along with other merchandise for that movie. So, they have about 20 items on the cards right now. ...and that's just the 'ALIEN' items without considering their many other licences.
It doesn't worry which series is next, actually. Looking forward to it all. Can't afford any of it. lol.

I actually heard on another forum that the lost wave was cancelled due to a lack of pre-orders. From what I've seen though in my local stores the Aliens themed stuff goes fastest and Alien 3 went the second fastest. Prometheus stuff moved the slowest by far, they had the engineers on the shelf when I worked there in a seasonal spot in 2014.

I mean firstly I didn't present what I said as a fact, secondly when it comes to news SSF is a little more reliable/up to date than we are most of the time since that board is specifically meant for figures and the like.
If they're wrong though I don't mind because it just means more colonist fodder.

That is both awesome and corny as f**k at the same time. I love it. :laugh:
They even put the Canada flag on his arm!
Awesome.Now I can finally have my Predator action figure fight James Cameron.
I would have preferred this be the convention exclusive than that Arnold figure. I don't hate this, but it makes the chance of seeing Drake this year slimmer.
Honestly I love this. I would have loved it even more if it was just him in his normal leather jacket attire he wore during filming.

according to them, no one wants to buy just a dude in normal clothing.
But this looks like a GI JOE so toy stores will be happy to sell without even thinking about it.
Oh hilarious! Hilarious!!
Seriously, love it! Go Canada! Go King James!

Boo. Another peg warmer. I can't be excited about this, I've shifted focus to just the movie characters and certain game characters. Seems more like something they would have made for Cameron himself rather than a Series figure.
Ok now that´s something I never expected but still looks quite nice, never thought Cameron looks badass as Colonial Marine 8) So next time, Ridley Scott as explorer with Nosotromo Compression suit? :laugh:
Talk about stroking his ego. ::)

....that's not a bad idea.
Ridley Scott needs to have that expression when he's making fun of the Ash head on the making of.
haha wow, they are courting Cameron hardcore trying to get him back to the Alien series IMO.
Love it!
Okay, so will Colonel Cameron be part of a regular wave, like Windrix was, or is this some kind of one-off exclusive to NECA store and TRU?
Any word on international distribution?
So many questions!
I'm sure answers will be forthcoming, but when pre-orders are already up, and there is no official word on availabilty outside the US... I get a little nervous.
Young and with a Beard?.
He looks so different now.
Old and clean shaven.
Brilliant news of the Colonel Cameron figure, I've heard there are easter eggs on the armour (ie. a Pandora patch) so that would be amazing.
For future homage figures how about H.R. Gieger as a Weyland-Yutani scientist.

One company actually did a pretty decent unofficial H.R Giger figure a while back. Not sure if it was actually released or whether it got C&D'd by Giger's estate.

And we're going to need a flame-haired, cigar-chomping "Guv'nor" figure now as well.
What is this stupid shit? Who the f**k wants a James Cameron or a Paul Reiser action figure? Or a Craig Windrix for that matter?
They make this bullshit, but still no Alien 3 Dillon figure.
I'd rather have Paul Reiser than Dillon.
Cmon man learn your history , that Windrix figure was in dedication to one of Neca's sculptors whose brother passed away.

I think that's enough from you. Bored of your consistant disrespectful attitude.
WHOA!!! JAMES CAMERON IS A COLONEL MARINE?!? I GOTTA HAVE THAT!!!! :o
Anyone reckon Fincher has signed off on his figure? :laugh:
@Alien/Xenomorph Haha... Yeah. All the cheese. All the cool. Wrapped up in something no one was expecting.
-Windebieste.
I see a custom AvP comic Lecter copilot Scott Conover coming out of this. He was based on Cameron anyway.
Any other Aussies on here?
How're you planning on getting Col. Cameron?
I've tried to order directly from the NECA store, but despite internatinal shipping being available, Australia isn't an option.
I've reached out to Randy on Twitter to see if it might be coming to Popcultcha, but no response (he is understandably busy with SDCC, of course).
I got permission to revive the thread.
I posted on the "NECA Aliens" thread asking about what would be a good starting point for collecting Marine figures specifically. Didn't know this thread existed yet, but I got some good advice.

Pick up the Hicks/Hudson 2-pack and the Vasquez with smartgun figure.
That's a perfect start.

I was told the Vasquez smartgun figure is harder to find. Definitely searching for Hicks/Hudson, and praying for Drake to come soon.
The Vasquez smartgun figure is a bit harder to find in my experience, the biggest problem is that when you find her the prices might be extremely inflated. Still worth a search for a good deal though.
I don't see the point until you can have the whole crew frankly.

Yes it does, I don't see the point in collecting a line that's incomplete and will perhaps remain so.
I much preferred the WY Commandos over any of the Colonial Marine figures myself.
The Commandos are awesome. I myself do prefer "new" marines or generic soldier types because I'd really like to build a new squad with new marines. I'm slowly getting ready to try out my luck at making some customs.

Been there, doing that.
Would love to see some pics of what you've done with them when you finish.
Al Matthews has passed away. :(
I wonder if this permanently torpedoes the chance of an Apone figure, or if the likeness rights pass to his estate and they may okay it at some point in the future.
Either way he will be missed, and my thoughts are with his family. :(
RIP Apone.
Loved that character since I was a kid.
The possibility of a figure, that was of course, the first thing I thought of as well...
Here's another dumb question that might be better suited for the "Post Your Collection" thread: what do you use when taking pictures of your figures? Phone? Actual camera? What's better in terms of uploading to a computer?

I use my iphone and then email the photo to myself as an attachment. I do that mostly because I don't have a camera that's of better quality than my camera (nor am I inclined to spend money on one - that's money I could be spending on more action figures :P).
I use my iPhone to take the pics.
Then I use different photo editing apps on my phone until I get a pic I like.

Kenner Apone is part of the next Kenner wave anyway. Although I wonder if, since we're now getting movie Apone, if they'll delay Kenner Apone to give him a new headsculpt.
Apone is great news.
I do hope we'll see Kenner Hicks, loved that figure as a kid.
No, it's the Apone from the Kenner line. NOT Apone from the movie.

Well, sh*t on a stick. I thought the tweet saying "Apone and more from the Kenner inspired line" meant we'd be getting a movie figure along with the other Kenner figures. I guess I misinterpreted it. I'm sorry, guys. :-[ :'(
eh, then my custom Apone can continue leading the squad.
What I said about Kenner Hicks still stands.

I looked up where to buy the Hicks/Hudson pack online. I would love to have them, but I'm not paying $1800 for them on EBay. That's a little ridiculous.
You can get it for like $50 if you watch, I see it for about $70 on Amazon.

I wonder if all the assembled pieces were 3D printed.
Think we'll get another Marine announcement after the Resurrection line is done?
Kenner marines are in the works. As for the movie versions? Maaaybe Drake, and that's only a maybe, not sure about any others.
Predalien before Drake.
Predalien . . . before . . . Drake.
Y'all are getting a Predalien before any Marines. Just read that on Twitter.
I'm not crying. Just an eyelash got stuck.
I'm kind of disappointed...but at the same time I do want the predalien...
The fact is that every alien sells better than any of the marines, so that's why they're so slow with making new ones. I was very surprised we got as much as we did so fast and I'm happy we're getting new marines eventually.
Though I'm almost certain we're getting the next Kenner wave which has Apone before the predalien. Predalien is at the end of 2019 (which by Neca standards means the end of 2020) but the Kenner wave is probably sooner.
That shit PredAlien design shouldn't be before anything.

Well . . . the Newborn is likely coming before the Predalien, so . . .
But it's still coming before Drake. Hey, the goofy pictures people will post online of the two abominations will be worth it, though.

We might. Alien with HR Giger's art existed before Scott came onboard. With another director's stamp on it, it's interesting to imagine what it might be like.
QuotePredalien before Scott is just a slap in the face of Alien fans, considering AvP:R's reputation.
Slap in the face? I wouldn't go that far. I was just making light because Cameron got his figure, but not Scott. It would be cool if Neca made a Ridley figure one day, but the fact they haven't, I don't consider it a severe insult personally.
Scott talked the studio into getting Giger on board. They weren't keen on the idea originally.
True, but unlike today, a lot of directors faught studios back in that day and won their creative vision.
It was a different time . I remember when Dino De Laurentiis absolutely insisted director John Milius use contemporary music in "Conan the Barbarian"! 😁
You're still assuming every director would even want to use Giger.

Which would have been such a shame, but fascinating to imagine what someone else might have come up with. Or maybe the Giger designs stay and eventually Walter Hill directs it, or it never gets to Brandywine and is made at Roger Corman's production house. Or maybe Dan O'Bannon gets his way and directs it. It's a fun what-if scenario.
But regardless, I am so happy it ended up the way it did, a magnificent Ridley Scott directed film!
Neca Sir Ridley in Nostromo Uniform.
Y'know, I'm not the biggest fan of A:R, but I'm seeing a lot of goofy photo-comics in that swimming Alien figure.
All I need is a fish tank and doll-size scuba gear I can stuff Hudson into. If that's a good idea.

You won't find cheaper than $60 brand new. These aren't produced anymore and they are rare figures to begin with. You might get cheaper if you buy them used our out of the package. But be wary, because someone might be selling a knock off, a concealed defective one, or a broken one.

Yes. I use the ebay phone app, so I can filter for U.S. only sellers, I look for free shipping, and I search for the lowest price.

It really depends on how bad you want them. To me the Hicks/Hudson two pack is worth the $60, if I ever decide to do a few more marines I'd most likely buy it at that price.

I feel like the price won't be too much of a concern once I'm a little more independent. Not to mention, I'm not going to display them. If I can get years of use and enjoyment out of them, $60 isn't an issue in the long run.

Keep in mind these figures typically run about $27.99 for a single, brand new figure before shipping straight from the retailer/neca.

Yeah, that's something to consider. Honestly I'm surprised the prices aren't jacked up more than that on eBay.
Have you seen the prices of the older Predators? Specifically Big Red or the first two Kenner waves? Those are absurd.

Dude. Check the SDCC exclusives. You'll need new underwear. Or Lost Tribe figures. The prices should be illegal.
Here's a good "shoot the breeze" question for you: I posted a poll on Twitter yesterday asking what cap people want to see on a Spunkmeyer figure if one ever gets released. Would you rather see the standard USCM cap, the "Cat: Diesel Power" cap, the green "Grunt Runt" cap that was only seen in BTS photos, or just put all the caps in the package?
tbh I'd want to see the pilots come with their flight helmets more than anything else

Alternate heads? If they sculpt the headgear on rather than removable helmets/caps.
Removeable helmets/caps is always dicey and are really hard to pull off at smaller scales because you either need to make the helmets oversized (so the un-helmeted head looks fine) or the heads smaller (so the helmeted appearance looks fine).
Not really? You just need to make a front and back part that snaps together. Make the hair a front and back part too, that can be removed and replaced with the helmet part.

That method works with higher-end figures that are more expensive like Play Arts Kai, Figma, Mafex, etc, but I've never seen that done with 6" scale $20 figures.
Someone posted pics of their custom Gorman over on Aliens Legacy and it got me thinking.
If we do get an official Gorman, NECA may as well take advantage of having Mr. Hope's likeness and do Waits. Pair him with a Working Joe.
I'd for sure buy them. I feel like not enough was made from Isolation.
Side note but on topic -- Considering Neca is releasing Ripley from Alien again with some new head sculpt technology (or something like that) I wonder if they'll revisit the marines. I'm happy with what we have, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a more "calm and collected" Hicks head sculpt.

The Hudson likeness was good. Sure, he looks like he's got a painful fart coming, but he still looks like Hudson.
Hicks wasn't as off as McFarlane, but it could be better.
Frost and Vasquez were spot-on.

I'd buy at least three. More if they had some damaged varieties. I feel like the Working Joes were some of the best designs in Isolation. They really nailed the creepiness factor with them.

There's also the fact that they can do the regular and the industrial Joes.
Hicks can't have an industrial Joe by his bed, though, lol.
"Oh, balls." :laugh:
The McFarlane Bloodshot figure sure reminds me of a working Joe.

We could see these before another film character. :P
While I wouldn't necessarily mind AVP Evolution marines...I'd rather see AVP2010's or even ACM's first. I'm a stickler for my marines looking uniform but I also like variety. I'm a complicated collector.
It's the AVP Extinction Upgraded Infantry I want primarily, and please no, I really don't want to even think about ACM's awful "characters" (Apart from the Weyland-Yutani PMC Designs) or AVP 2010's dull "characters" (Apart from the Weyland-Yutani Combat Android Design) if you're going for characters with a bit of individuality I'd go for the rest of the casts of Predator and Alien/s/³ first. Personally, as I did when I was a child, now as an adult with the Alien The RPG, I liked making up stories for my figures as characters I created, and I'd see myself in, and that's much easier with figures representing no specific character. The one thing NECA's line really lacks at the minute.
Well obviously any USCM fan would want the rest of the movie characters. I'm a realist though and we'll probably see Drake and that'll be the end of it. Maybe re-issues of Hicks/Hudson and Vaz if that new anniversary Ripley with the new HS tech does well.
I say ACM because gear wise they're just about 100% identical to the movie marines and since I'm an army builder they have the most appeal. It has nothing to do with the actual characters so much as "ah, this smart-gunner has tattoos, thats unique but also fits in with the marines I already have". Same goes for AVP2010, while not as close as ACM they're close enough and just seem the natural progression of USCM tech. I'd buy just about anything from AVPE mind you, I just have a personal preference.

I have spoiled him rotten.
I've been having some issues regarding Hudson's shoulder lamp; can't find the slot in his back. I've moved the armor around some (as best I could) and I'm starting to be convinced this particular figure may not have a back slot. Anyone else have this issue and any advice?
Never seen one without a camera slot. Had several marines with cameras that don't fit, they were not molded right. Often, the armor doesn't line up ideally somehow either...The older the figure, the more problems.
So theres three different options you can do
Option 1 (which I think you may have tried?): is putting the lights peg through the armors hole, if it doesn't slide in to the hole in his back then just move it around until it gets "caught" and just kind of force it in a bit. It's supposed to fit snugly. This might take a few tries and it might even appear to be at a weird angle (the most common case like this I've had is that the hole in the back is higher than the hole in the armor).
Option 2 (a little evasive): The USCM armor can be "opened" on the sides where the buckles are. On some sets this is easier to do than others because it kind of depends on the amount of glue your particular vest got. A dip in some warm water should make the process easier if you can't just "pop" it open. I'd advise doing this slowly though depending on the amount of resistance you get.
Once you have the side open closest to where the flash light goes you should be able to see both holes pretty easy and just guide it in. Then glue the armor closed and you're good.
Option 3: Cut down the peg for the light by a little over half and glue it into the hole and to the back of the armor. This is kind of the neanderthal route, but its also the easiest if all else fails.
