This blows nearly all of NECA's previous Alien offerings out of the water and it is the definitive action figure of the Runner. And the rest of them are the sizes they ought to be, other media representations can take a hike frankly, the Warriors were always too stocky even in Aliens itself and often too small in most other things, they are actually finally as big and lean as they always should have looked. As for the Dragon the size's of it is massively inconsistent even within Alien³ as it appears in from scene to scene. Have you watched any reviews? Judge death got me, the details are nice (though not perfect, I'll get back to that), but the size difference is crazy huge, more then any inconsistency in Alien 3. She says in the film, an 8ft creature. This guy won't be close compared to the marines. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIbRvjDAcYAThe size comparison starts at 7:09, that will look ridiculous compared to other humans and aliens as well. And look from 8:45 to 9:00 and tell me that long neck and face close up doesn't look ridiculous with that overbite?I have no problem making the warriors bigger, but when you do that and then make the runners smaller, it looks ridiculous in the game. Not to mention in the game that the drone is noticeably smaller that the warrior whereas I personally think the difference should've been smaller or non existent, but that's less of an issue. The game has beautiful models, but the proportional sizing is really off IMO. I was looking forward to the runner, but seeing how small he is, he really won't fit in with my collection. And the long neck looks silly, if it's not possible enough, I won't even be able to pose the creature well. When you add to that the fact I'm still salty Neca gave these new runners single jointed elbows, I do feel disappointed, especially when there has been so little news for alien figures. The sculpt is beautiful, but the proportions are very weird to me.
