Got my Shin Godzilla last week, (love it!!). Despite all of the NECA hate, this figure looks pretty sweet, and they are really getting good at articulation of the legs, tail and especially the head...
>>

You think that's bad, in the editor's section of the comic this is from, the comic producer pretty much said they only colored the red mutant ones red so that readers could tell the factions apart, but they aren't necessarily red.

I'm the 'zilla-fag. It really it a nice figure, the upper body is admittedly a bit stiff, and it doesn't have a very dynamic pose, but the level of detail, and the cracked "bleeding" look of his skin is amazing. plus the jaw articulation is really cool

By "accessories" they probably mean an egg, a facehugger and a chestburters, like on the Pink Arcade version which already features the upgraded articulation.

I'm okay with that. I love the Pink Arcade version and I can always use more eggs, facehuggers, chestbusters.

What's the new articulation? I have the second blue one and I can't see any difference.
>>
>>6378402

I don't have the new one, but just looking at it the Knees are definitely different, and the fingers have articulation and they didn't originally.

Also remember people saying the bicep doesn't have a swivel anymore, but that was kind of a weak joint originally anyway, looks like they can still swivel at the elbow which will work just as well.

There's literally no reason to redo the Big Chap. Adding more ugly joints would change nothing. The last figure is perfect.

Dunno if its my ocd but this is annoying, I just want the box to line up with the others, is that so hard?

I get the player select kratos was from another line but least the height was the same, great gonna have to hope another repaint in the same size box comes out so I can make them bookends

I like the boxes, the figures aren't planned to remain inside forever either (hell the alien 3 one is presently outside as my fiddle buddy) even though the whole book open display of them is nifty

Yeah, there's really not a whole lot different with the figure. As you said, they removed the bicep swivel, but it swivels at the elbow anyway (always has), and they have new knees, more akin to the AvP aliens. And then throw in the (admittedly useless) finger articulation, oh and the tail swivels at the butt (which it was always glued into place on the other figures) and there's your new alien body.

People are still going to bitch and complain about the ankles and other stuff because it's not how they want it. So these new Ultimates won't be the saviors, but they're still good news for army builders. I look forward to them myself.
>>
>>6378494

The movie prop has nothing to do with that post
>>
>>6378526
>Adding more ugly joints would change nothing.

It would probably remove the ugliest joint while the new ones are less intrusive. It would also had great range of motion. If you don't want an updated one you don't habe to buy it. You also don't have to keep being a bitch about it.
>>
>>6378545
>People are still going to bitch and complain about the ankles and other stuff because it's not how they want it

Man it's not because it's "not how I want it," it's because the AVP figures have GREAT range in their ankles and these are super limited.
>>
>>6378545
>People are still going to bitch and complain about the ankles and other stuff because it's not how they want it

Reminder that Ultimate Chap is on the way whether you want it or not
>>
>>6379199

Yes, a figure that will have no real improvements. What a victory.
>>
>>6379216
It will have better range of motion, less impact on the sculpt, and at least six more points articulation. Pretty good improvement.
>>
>>6379252
Hopefully they fix the ankles, they're glorified swivels.
>>
>>6379254
Well one end actually is just a swivel. You should be getting some range in the part that actually plugs into the socket. Try heating it up. I've had to shave down some pegs on a few Big Chap molds because they have studs on the balls and, while you'd think it'd help keep the ball in place, it works a little too well amd restricts motion.

If anything, I hope they change the head/neck connection. Taking it apart to fix it, I see what they were going for, but again, in practice it doesn't work quite as well as it looks like it was intended to.
>>
>>6379252
>and at least six more points articulation

It won't. The new xenos don't have more articulation, it actually has less. Are you not paying attention on purpose?

My brown warrior actually has a stuck wrist joint that is impossible to fix, no amount of hot air/water helped, so i just left it like that, being wanting another warrior ever since, don't get me wrong, i still like mine, but having a more articulated one with no stuck joints + accessories will be very nice, it's always nice to have more Xenos anyway.
>>
What Xenos are currently available that aren't exceeding $50-$60 on the market? I am trying to get into them now. I've found the Dog Alien in both color variants. I know of the Mantis, Gorilla, Genocides. I'm looking for some of the Xenos from the movies.

They always slow down near SDCC. Also, I think their schedule got really complicated because of a few things. Alien: Covenant's release date got moved ahead, so they had to reorganize release dates for Aliens products. Seems like they're having difficulty with the DC vs Aliens/Predator figures as the release dates for those are now TBD. Neca is also having issues with Rocky and it is unknown if the line will continue.

Did they announce if they'll ever make a re-make of Big Red?

>>
>>6380676
>>6380681
>>6380784
Hmm, watching scenes of the movie again I think I might go with the blue for that "movie magic lighting" effect and mainly because that's the impression they left me.

Still I'll admit the suit-accurate brown is pretty neat in its own right.

I've had the alien Queen for a little over a year now, and I was a bit iffy on collecting NECA stuff, being a bit of an import elitist. But I really liked the Mantis Alien, and it got me wondering what I was missing. I got Big Chap, but was disappointed by its uneven dome. Still, I remained interested. I was going to buy a set of Series 7, but BBTS sold out of the set of 3, and only had the whole case available. Which is annoying, but the temptations of having a start for nest was intriguing. I'll keep the Big Chaps because I like the design in white, but no idea what I'll do with 4 extra Grids. I might give one to a friend.

anyway,any tips for a new collector? Safest place to buy and avoid bootlegs? AreHong Kong sellers on eBay safe, or is it just KOs? Best Alien figures? MajorQC issues?

I'm with you anon, I really liked the look of the white Big Chap and it's the only "variant" Xeno I've gotten from NECA outside of the movie iterations and the Isolation Xeno.

>AreHong Kong sellers on eBay safe, or is it just KOs?
Most likely KOs and it's not uncommon with recent NECA figures to get bootlegged.

>Best Alien figures?
In my opinion, the Dog Alien (pic-related) followed closely by either of the two AVP Xenos in your pic. The Isolation Xeno is okay if you liked the game. If you want a vanilla Big Chap and Warrior from ALIENS, your best option would be the upcoming Ultimates >>6380635.

>>6380635
is this just a repaint of the albino alien? same articulation?

>The new xenos don't have more articulation, it actually has less. Are you not paying attention on purpose?

> single elbows upgraded to double - 2
> elbow swivels - 2

Subtract the two bicep swivels the elbow swivels replace and you get six more. Math is not hard.
>>
>>6380929

Are you stupid? The warriors had double jointed knees and elbows to begin with.

You fucking tard. And the knee swivels and finger articulation add absolutely nothing to the figure, you don't get any more poses out of it than you could before. They're superfluous in every way.
>>
>>6380837
I meant the cool skeleton things with a tail and head crest. The flatness seems strange looking.
>>
>>6380937
We are talking about the upcoming Ultimate Big Chap and the articulation improvents based on current trends. Keep up.

Knee swivels and the finger articulation DO add further posability and means they literally have MORE articulation now, not less. You don't get to call people stupid or retarded when you can't even comprehend simple basic math.
>>
>>6380943

They add NOTHING to the figure. You don't even own the new xeno body and you're trying to defend it. Hysterical.

You are going to cry your eyes out when you realize it doesn't do anything you seem to think it can.
>>
>>6380953
I talk about the AVP Xeno with that articulation and how it's my favorite NECA Alien all the time. You might not care about it, but I do. I enjoy the added articulation and pose options provided by the swivels and hands. The regular black AVP Xeno and the GITD version are the only ones I actually don't have put away in storage because I enjoy them so much more. Keep your shitposting to yourself next time.
>>
>>6380967
Uh, you realize the new warrior body isn't anything at all like the AvP body right? It doesn't move like it at all, so, you had absolutely no dog in this fight. Everything you said means nothing. It's a barely gussied up figure.

>>6380978

Are you stupid? There's nothing different about the figure. At all. It's just got the accessories from the red shirted Ash. You not buying the figure the first time just shows you're lazy.

I mean I collected the whole wave so I'm not really bummed about it, but anyone saying that the Ultimate has the same accessories in one figure is blatantly wrong. This is especially true if you only ended up buying the Hero Ash by itself back then.

>This is especially true if you only ended up buying the Hero Ash by itself back then

Why would you only buy the Hero Ash?

>but anyone saying that the Ultimate has the same accessories in one figure is blatantly wrong

But it is exactly that. There's no change from Hero Ash. It's all the pieces that came with that figure and that came with red shirt Ash. That's it. No improvements, no changes. Just a "hey sorry you missed out on these sold out figures! Here's another chance!"
>>
>>6382546
>Why would you only buy the Hero Ash?

I don't care about Ash at Work or that forgettable villain. Old man Ash in his standard outfit was very appealing.

>No improvements, no changes

Hero Ash with all the accessories of both figures for the price of one is an improvement and a change.

I just got my re-release in the mail today(My original's crown was broken off due to my room mate). Other than being a cunt to get her "tongue" in( soak her head in hot water, makes it a cinch) and some very minor paint splotches, she's perfect. The gold is brighter on the re-release, especially around the chest, has a slightly darker wash,and a swivel was added at the base of the big arms. Haven't noticed any other big changes yet.
>>

The swivel was always there. But do you still have your original? I wouldn't mind some side-by-side images.

We had just moved and I had it standing on the breakfast bar right next to the door, it got snagged on her clothes with it's sharp point bits and fell on the floor.

>>
>>6386236
This is news to me ... Why the fuck is this a thing?
>>
>>6386767
In all honesty I think it was a goof up on the slides during Ripleys interrogation in Aliens and people ran with it.
>>
>>6386850
No it was intentional as all the other information. Just wanted to give the characters more of a history. I heard a rumor that Dallas was going to be stated as a straight up transman, but I have yet to find any confirmation.
>>
>>6386850
>>6386896
From my understanding, it stems from the fact that the roles in Alien weren't initially written with genders in mind, and once plot elements were actually being solidified a few actually changed a few times. Lambert and Dallas were two of the ones that changed, so they threw it in that they were trans in the character bios.

What are these made up words?
>>
>>6387198
“Intersex” is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male.

It's really really really really common to the point that you should have been taught it in your very first biology class.

Kinda, but we'll probably get an unmasked head in a two pack or something down the line, if NECA is true to form and he sells well.

Also, I mean, his mask is a lot more visually distinct that him having a shorter/less pointy tooth. Especially in comparison to the ones who have whole mandibles missing and the like.

Admittedly, my source on that is a Cracked article I read years ago, but I always thought it made sense.

I just remember the abundance of interviews with the writer I watched as well reading the original script where he wrote every character gender neutral and had a note on the script saying that any role could be played by a man or woman.

>Would you a Sil, /toy/?
>>
>>6387382
This is true. All the cast members were originally written as male but included a note that any of them could be any gender, because Dan O'Bannon wasn't really interested in the characters for the script, it was all about the alien and the action sequences for him. He figured the actors and director would figure that shit out, which they obviously did. Ridley Scott wrote up most of the character biographies and shit and let the actors go on that, because he couldn't be fucking around actually directing them because he was too busy lighting the scenes, worrying about how the xeno was going to look, shooting parts of the ship, etc.

>>6387406
It should be noted that this info for Lambert comes from Aliens and is nowhere at all in Alien, so it's a retcon by a completely different director. Apparently Cameron wrote all that shit (unless it was taken from those character bios Ridley wrote--we've never seen those as far as I know). I would be interested to know exactly whose idea that was though.

My complains are Ripley still looking overgrown, maybe it's just to be next to Vasquez but I don't know and the forehead don't looks too high? Vasquez eyes are weird I hope the final looks more like the Kenner one. And the Xenos will haven't the new articulation?
>>
>>6387907
You're wrong dude.
>>
>>6387720
Stupid ass, they did the iconic battle look. Why would they do anything else first? Jesus Christ, come on. That's what everyone wanted.
>>
>>6387907

Those clearly are not to scale with each other.

The Xenos are about 9 inches tall, meanwhile the humans are usually about 7 inches tall.

In that image, the Xenos look like they're about half an inch taller than Ripley.
>>
>>6387907
>Ripley still looking overgrown
Ripley is tall to begin with. Doesn't help that she's standing next to Vasquez, one of the shortest in the crew.
>And the Xenos will haven't the new articulation?
Read Neca's official reveal statement that anon posted.
>>
>>6387918
on what?

>>6387922
>Those clearly are not to scale with each other.

Oh, maybe is that.
>>
>>6387929
>Read Neca's official reveal statement that anon posted.

Let's see:

>The Xenomorph Warriors feature 2 unique battle-damaged sculpts and stand over 9″ tall. They utilize the new “Ultimate” Alien body, which has many upgrades, including added articulation and increased range of motion in upper torso and neck, plus a re-engineered tail assembly which provides an additional swivel as well as having a bendable portion. Over 30 points of articulation.

Okay, now I really interested.
>>
>>6387922
>Those clearly are not to scale with each other

Except that they are.
>>
>>6387955

I'm not talking about the figures themselves, I'm talking about how its clear that the images were simply resized for that image.

You can't honestly look at that image and tell me that those Xenomorphs are the proper size against that Ripley if the physical figures were stood next to each other.

Just because you think there's interest doesn't mean there actually is. Let alone enough to be financially feasible.
>>
>>6389380
Obviously. I mean over three people on an anonymous message board will buy one. Unless you actually have proof that Sil would sell.
>>
>>6389380
Just keep bombarding randy on twitter with it until he gets annoyed enough to make one, like with the rest of the prometheus figures.
>>
>>6389432
The difference is that the Prometheus "Lost Wave" figures were already sculpted before the movie released to mixed reviews. Sil would be a new sculpt for a character that hasn't been the public eye for decades.
>>
Seriously though, who the hell would buy action figures based on monsters designed by H.R. Giger?

Me, but as criminal as it'd sound, I think a lot would work better as "statues". Not necessarily statues as the word is usually used, but intricate models where layers of detail are visible, pistons move, etc.

Not sure if serious but it is not necessarily a widely known fact but Xenomorphs, facehuggers, space jockey (engineer in suit). His artwork was used as concept work for the alien ship as well. Queen is just derived from his biomechanical art style. He also is responsible for Sil from Species among other things. He just passed away recently, RIP.

The Xeno along with much of his work was usually erotic in nature. Note the phallic head shape. I never looked at a Xeno the same after it was quite obvious a penis.

>We’d like to update you on the shipping schedule for your NECA 2017 Convention Exclusive purchase. Although we originally stated that these would be shipping AFTER San Diego Comic-Con (which takes place July 20-23, 2017)… good news! We will be shipping the Convention Exclusives earlier, so that they will arrive as the show opens.

Has anyone tried tightening up the red queen? I bought her praying that she wouldn't be plagued with the same problems the recent smaller xenos have. But to my misfortune she's just as limp and floppy as my mantis.

I ordered Kenner Vasquez from the NECA site like 9 days ago and still haven't received it. Didn't get a tracking number or anything. All I got was an order summary.

When I check the status of my order, it says "We've accepted your order, and we're getting it ready. Come back to this page for updates on your order status."

Never ordered from NECA directly except when I got the Mirage Foot Clan set. But I really don't remember there being such a lack of communication last year when I did that. Is this normal for NECA?

One of the Aliens surprise debuts turns out to be Burke. Shipping on October.
>https://twitter.com/NECA_TOYS/status/880531293615927297
Assuming that this other "debut" is a new character likeness: Randy repeatedly (and even recently) confirmed that Al Matthews is still not available, so Apone is 99% out. That pretty much leaves us with either Drake, the next most requested character in line, or Gorman. Worst case will be any of the "other guys". Wierzbowski anyone?

>>
>>6398282
I'm glad you have found something else to bitch about in your sad life, but seriously, how dumb are you?

He locks himself into a room and gets killed by a warrior. There's nothing else to do different to the figure. Doing the new dome is a good way to make it different and make a callback to something else.

There's nothing "lazy" about it whatsoever.
>>
>>6397418
Groovy, How is the articulation? feels solids?
>>
>>6398673

Yes, the Covenant Xeno does have the digigrade leg though, so on two legs he won't stay standing long without tripoding or using a stand. On four legs he's fine.

Neomorph is good, but has some very tight joints. The neck is one area I'd be careful with. Some super tight ratcheting (at least on mine) on both heads, once you heat them up and get them moving they're fine, but if you put pressure in the wrong place and really forced it I could see it breaking the ball peg.

He's also got single jointed elbows, with the peg going into the forearm (giving him two swivels there), I wasn't sure if it was double or single, so I had to boil and pop to make sure. Just to make sure I didn't like, force something and break the peg. Again, digigrade legs, will probably not stay standing unaided for a long time. He's much lighter though, so maybe he will...
>>

Cheers, I can't wait for mine!

>>6398276
I wouldnt be suprised if its Gorman now. They made everyone else in the aftermath of the marine slaughter with the new Vasquez, Bomber Jacket Ripley, and now Burke. He's the last one to fit that part of the movie.
>>
>>6399092
>They made everyone else in the aftermath of the marine slaughter
Honestly that's exactly the main reason I'd be okay with them doing Gorman. I know people are more partial to the actual Marines, but I'm more fond of the "aftermath" group of survivors enough that I'd be pretty satisfied if NECA made Gorman.
>>
>>6398282
I like this actually because it's a way to get a Big Chap head (I prefer domes to ridges) on a Warrior body, which is ideal to how they are often portrayed in the AVP comics and toys

Getting my reissue queen tomorrow boys, what am I in for?
>>
>>6400860
Yes. The hands are a big indicator of what body you're looking at. Big Chap has six fingers, two "thumbs" and four connected digits. Warrior has a thumb and four connected digits, much longer fingers at that.

Feet are totally different too, Chap has more humanoid toes, warriors have an ape-like thumb-toe and the design is far more animalistic. Tail tips are different too, aaand there's very minor differences on the body, but mostly it's just that stuff.
