While it’s nothing compared to the expensive Hot Toys dolls announced earlier today, NECA has finally revealed the long-awaited, and absolutely gorgeous Ellen Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) from their Alien action figure line. The news first came on Figures.
The toys are part of NECA’s celebration of the 35th Anniversary of the Alien franchise. Pre-con they also revealed the massive Queen Alien, which will go perfectly with Ripley in her Power Loader (a reveal that’s yet to come).
On display today, however, are the two versions of Ripley, one from the original Alien film (boasting a flame thrower and “calm” Jonesy the cat), the other in her spacesuit with an “angry” variant of Jonesy the cat. Says the site, both of the Ripley figures will accompany Dallas in Nostromo space suit and will make up the fourth assortment of Aliens.
I know this is a regular complaint but, where the hell am I supposed to display all of these? NECA is brutalizing me with their 8-bit line and now these. I can’t wait to see what the Power Loader looks like – I can only hope Ripley comes with it. I’d love to see a box set with the Queen where they’re face-to-face. Wet dream? Yes.
