I've been waiting for an Ultimate original Alien figure, since I missed out on the first release. But at least they'll be releasing an Ultimate Dog Alien soon. Can't wait for the AVPR figures, the movie may have been ass, but those designs were beast.

I just ordered the blue Aliens Ultimate Warrior. Hopefully he arrives in decent shape. I have yet to remove my City and Jungle Hunter Predators from their packaging and I've had them for well over a year now.

Scorpion Alien? Are they calling the common drone that? I thought only the ancient Aliens toy line called the drone that.
I admit as bad idea as a kids Aliens cartoon was that was smart to cash in on Alien 3's depending on the host idea to get more toys out.

^No, it's specifically based on the Kenner line. Normal drones without domes are referred to as Warriors.

I had the Kenner Scorpion and Gorilla Aliens as a kid. I can't wait for the NECA Scorpion. That said, their Gorilla Alien was a bit of a disappointment - he really needed shorter legs.

I scored a Leo/Shredder set from Target yesterday. Probably the only one I'll get from the cartoon line (unless they do a cartoon Slash).

Slash has been prototyped but Neca says there's no plans to release him in the near future.

Totally agree. I held onto him for a lot longer than their Mantis Alien (which was so impossible to keep standing that I quickly sold it), but I finally sold him recently because it was too hard to keep him standing.

I just got the Scorpion Alien and I was worried at first that I somehow got a bootleg because the paint on the face was not as good as others I've seen online, but I think mine just got a bit rushed. The only real issues I have with mine is that the head doesn't really want to move on the joint (and I'm afraid to give it too much force) and that the wire in the tail ends about an inch from the stinger "club" instead of going all the way up to it. Though as long as the wire doesn't poke through, I guess it's all good.

Other than those minor issues, it is a beauty, though.

I keep thinking about getting the Neomorph, especially since it's been on sale at BBTS lately, but I just hated Alien: Covenant so skreonking much that even getting figures from it feels weird. I like the Neomorph design, though.

If you do open the Neomorph, let me know how big of a pain in the butt is it to get it to pose properly or to switch heads, etc.

I may just stick with the upcoming Kenner-style figure of it that NECA is doing, but I am very tempted by this version.

The Hadley’s hope set is a good alternative. It’s got some minor differences but you get the idea. It’s just a warrior with the dome.

I'm hoping for a 7" Movie Shredder. Would like one to go on my villains shelf.

I want Super Shredder, Tokka, and Razar. I can see them as an SDCC exclusive maybe.

I know not too many people were fans of the Bay Turtles, I personally liked them and Shredder, but I totally get the criticism.

That being said, I think if NECA ever did 7 inch Bay movie Turtles I guarantee they'd be able to capture the likeness almost perfectly and they'd sell like hot cakes just because of how limited that movie merch is.

I wish they'd get The Purge license.
There were some great designs in those films, and would work great for regular ol goons

I'll get it open sometime during this weekend. I've started to really like Alien: Covenant so I can't wait to snap some photos.

I gave in and ordered it from BBTS and shipped my Pile of Loot with it and the NECA Snake Alien and their Blue Kenner-style Alien Warrior.

Hopefully the Blue one stands better than the albino concept figure I ended up selling only a few months after getting it. But I also bought a bunch of NECA figure stands yesterday so I think I'm more prepared that nonsense. It was so nice finally getting figures like their Katniss to stand on their own instead of having to lean on sturdier figures or be prone victims.
