In celebration of Aliens’ 30th anniversary, NECA released a 2-pack in November 2016 featuring a new Ripley figure with a flamethrower weapon accessory and a 5″ Newt figure, as to re-create the “Rescuing Newt” scene from James Cameron’s Aliens. Newt was previously released as a Comic-Con exclusive earlier in 2016.
Official Description
Continuing the Aliens 30th anniversary celebration, NECA presents a special edition action figure 2-pack that recreates the movie’s classic poster! That iconic image of Ripley rescuing Newt appears on the front flap of the deluxe packaging; open the flap and the figures are posed in the box just as they appear on the poster.
Ripley stands approximately 7” tall and features a new head sculpt and new deco, both exclusive to this set. She comes with a flamethrower accessory that has a special “fire effect” attachment. Newt stands approximately 5” tall. Both feature authorized likenesses and have over 25 points of articulation for dramatic poses. A great display piece both in and out of the box!
