NECA Just Blew the Lid Off the ‘Alien’ Collectibles Line

Published

on

Being an avid toy fan, one thing that’s been missing since we were kids is companies going big. He-Man needed his Castle Grayskull. The Thundercats has their Castle Plun-Darr.

And while all of these modern toy companies are delivering astounding sculpts of highly demanded action figures, what’s always been missing are their dioramas.

NECA has taken the first step in the evolution of toy fandom and discovered a cheap option for us maniacs who need to see the entire world come to life. FOAM. Just months after announcing the life-sized foam Slimer, NECA just broke it wide open with their massive Fossilized Space Jockey from their Alien line.

YUP.

As seen in the 1979 horror classic Alien, this stunningly detailed replica of the Fossilized Space Jockey is perfect as a diorama element and a striking display piece on its own!
It’s perfectly in scale with our line of 7” figures, which means that it’s appropriately massive: two feet long, over 18” tall, and the circular base is 18” in diameter! The Fossilized Space Jockey is made of hand-painted foam rubber and latex with all the details you see in the movie.

Below are shots of what will be another awesome NECA collectible that I literally have no space or money for. Donations anyone?

Ships in December.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
