Holy shit, holy shit, holy shiiiiittttt.
NECA is on fire, and I’m struggling to keep up.
While they stole the show during “Alien Day” by releasing a Kenner throwback Ripley action figure, and revealing that both “Newt” and Private Vasquez will be arriving in toy form, that was clearly only the beginning.
This afternoon they have pulled back the curtain on their Series 9 assortment that includes a concept figure taken from James Cameron’s original Aliens screenplay!
The “Albino Alien” is NECA’s first concept figure from the 1986 movie. It was inspired by the original James Cameron screenplay, which describes an albino version of the Xenomorph that has an excreting probe in place of the usual second inner mouth. The Albino Alien has over 30 points of articulation and features a bendable mouth probe and a frightening new color scheme. It stands over 9″ tall.
They also just revealed that Series 9 includes “Private Ricco Frost” – known as “Frosty” to his fellow Marines – comes to action figure form for the first time with the likeness of actor Ricco Ross. His detailed body armor features the same personalized touches as in the movie, and he’s packed with accessories: removable helmet, ammo bag, M240 Flamethrower, and pistol that fits in a functioning holster. Pvt. Frost has over 25 points of articulation.
Lastly, full details on “Private Jenette Vasquez” are here. She is one of the most requested action figures of all time and features the likeness of Jenette Goldstein. Her Marine gear is completely faithful to the movie, from the hand-painted mottos to the detailed headgear and shoulder lamp. Vasquez has over 30 points of articulation and comes with a smartgun with fully articulated harness, plus a blast effect that attaches to the muzzle.
