Due to popular demand, NECA is bringing their first concept figure from Alien to the quarter-scale format, Figures.com reports.
In the iconic 1979 horror movie, the skin of the Xenomorph was meant to be almost see-through. H.R. Giger originally had the suit cast in a translucent flesh-tone but, in one of the many technical hurdles that had to be overcome to bring his creature to life on screen, repeated difficulties with the material forced the change to the coloring seen in the movie.
This action figure stands over 22” tall, and has a hinged jaw that opens, revealing an inner mouth that extends for realistic movie action. It has 25 points of articulation, including double knee joints and a bendable tail, and extra attention has been paid to all the eerie details that made Giger’s designs for Alien so mesmerizing.
One production run only. Starts shipping out to retailers in October 2016.
It was recently announced that James Cameron’s “Albino Alien” concept is also arriving as an action figure.
