James Cameron’s “Albino Alien” Concept in Action Figure Form!

Published

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.

The Conjuring

The hugely successful Conjuring Universe is getting a brand new installment with The Conjuring 4, and THR reports tonight that Michael Chaves is on board to direct.

Chaves just directed Conjuring Universe installment The Nun II, and he also previously directed The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, the main series’ third movie.

The Conjuring 4 is said to be the final installment in the main series, THR notes.

David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (The Conjuring 2) wrote the screenplay for the fourth movie.

THR adds, “Plot details are being kept six feet under but once again supernatural investigators Ed and Lorrain Warren will face creaky doors, shadows in the windows, inverted crosses, and a demonic possession or two. Stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are expected to return and the feature is eyeing a summer shoot in Atlanta.”

Also returning to produce are franchise mainstays James Wan and Peter Safran.

The Conjuring films are based on the real-life case files of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga respectively.

There are currently eight films in The Conjuring universe — The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle: Creation, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home, and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. The eighth film, The Nun 2, was released just last year.
