Great work on the review Dean, so many possible poses the one at 9 minutes is epic, I'll be picking up a dog alien and the big chap as well, Neca did a great job and the articulation is amazing.
Great detailed review mate. Awesome looking figure imagine if NECA done this in 1/4 scale it will be sure worth the price and NECA's prices are always reasonable I think. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing review mate l remember the old mcfarlane dog alien being not great as l recall but this is hands down the best dog alien l've ever seen to date a true work of art from neca.
Nice review as always Dean. Have to disagree with you though in that I think these figures are overpriced. Just have to come to terms with the fact that £20 is the new price for 1/12 figures :/ I have the wall diorama figures for the A L I E N and Alien 3 aliens made by Sideshow and they are killer pieces! hate the Aliens drone design though. The dome makes the piece!
do you have it??? it is a really nice piece of art here, so I disagree with you... I don't think it is over priced AT ALL.... it's only 30 Dlls. It would be normal if it goes more expensive through the time.
lalobarrera99 Just a few years ago, you would never have thought of paying the current price for 1/12 figures. The prices have shot up! And yes I do own all 3 of this Alien figures. PO'ed them
Stiffkittens I don't know... I am a big fan, and this particular alien from NECA is worth it 30 Dlls, and even more. In my opinion, I would even have spent 80 Dlls on this figure, for me it is just fantastic.
Many people might think and told me I'm crazy (and I don't care) but I like this piece more that the Hot toys Dog alien. Yes.. HOT TOYS has GREAT sculpt, and GREAT paint job... but this one, even though it's smaller, it has awesome detail, very good and true to the film paint job and its sculpt does is MOVIE ACCURATE (specially on that mouth), and has way more articulation than hot toys. I really enjoy this scale and how great it is done!
Great review Dean! I haven't actually bought any Neca figures for a year or so now but on the strength of seeing this i should have mine by the weekend :) Looking forward to the showcase!
Great review, Dean :) The figure looks awesome! I have the H.S. Monster Arts Alien Warrior, and IF I was to choose between that and this one, I would go for the dog alien. My warrior alien has a bunch of balljoints in its tail, and to be honest, that really sucks! The tail has very little posing abilities and snaps of very easy... To anyone who is on the fence about which one to choose, go for the dog alien!!! This figure would pose really well on display with the Alien Isolation game cover, dude ;) Thanks for sharing :)
Great overall look..and great job on the review duder..Neca has the market when it comes to overall sculpt and paint apps..on the Alien line only for the most part and at a fair price....Love Bro
I hope mine come as good as yours and Dean's, I remember the 1st NECA figure I got (series 3 Jungle Hunter) broke right out of package lmao I still remember the sound of my heart breaking.
