“I only need to know one thing: where they are.”
Jenette Goldstein portrayed one of my all-time favorite co-stars, Private First Class Jenette Vasquez in James Cameron’s Aliens.
Ripped, tough and brimming with one-liners, this tough cookie could have easily been the greatest enemy the Xenomorphs, errr, bugs ever faced.
Now, thanks to NECA, you’ll be able to add her to your 7″ collection. This wasn’t the first announcement of the day as NECA also revealed this hotly anticipated Newt doll, arriving at this July’s San Diego Comic-Con.
UPDATED with a full look at the 7 inch action figure, thanks to Jenette Goldstein!
Private First Class Jenette Vasquez was a Smartgun operator with the United States Colonial Marine Corps, part of 2nd Battalion Bravo Team. She was the sister of Carmen Vasquez. Jenette was a member of the combat unit deployed to LV-426 aboard the USS Sulaco in 2179, to investigate the sudden loss of contact with the colony of Hadley’s Hope. She was subsequently involved in combating the Xenomorph infestation at the colony.
Vasquez was part of First Squad’s gun team, along with Private Hudson. She was among the last to perish in the incident, committing suicide with Lieutenant Gorman rather than be captured by the Xenomorphs for impregnation. Vasquez also had a long history with fellow Smartgun operator Private Mark Drake, and the two shared a close, possibly romantic relationship.
She’s here. @NECA_TOYS releases the first true #Vasquez action figure this August for #Aliens 30th anniversary. pic.twitter.com/kahji3cUGT
