Snake alien is probably the greatest neca figure ever made ( at the moment ) the paint, the sculpt, the posable tail, its long ass tongue! I think it should be shown more love ( movies, games, comics etc )
The alien Isolation xeno design is the best xeno design ever created in any and all alien universes. A perfect homage to Giger's vision with a tremendous improvement to the legs making it a much quicker and aggressive beast. This is the ideal xeno.
It's a good design but as the figure itself it's so frustrating that it can't stand by itself. Weak legs and the stand included to help is even more useless. I actually prefer the Big Chap.
Yep just got that one , dick head will not stand up , really loose lower leg joints , if joints were stiff and you could actually pose it that be great . I wouldn’t of bought it if I realised what this figure was like
A must-have on every good movie and game fan shelf! Highly recommended is also a rotating red LED warning light above the shelf, these are relatively cheap on Amazon sometimes 4$ or less, but a few alert lights really enhance the immersion of every gaming room.
Wait, the Predalien can go for $250?! I got that toy as a birthday present when it was new. Up until 2-3 days ago it has been standing on a shelf collecting dust.
I've always preferred the smooth dome to the ridged one. To be honest, I know it's a petty nitpick, but that's the number one thing that irks me about the film Aliens. It forever gave everyone else license to have ridged head aliens when they should be smooth if they came from a human host. It just annoys me when people play fast and loose with established canon and Alien is my favorite film of all time.
Where did you hear this theory? I thought and it was stated by James Cameron he went with the "no dome" because it was to cumbersome to do action scenes in "Aliens"
i can't remember exactly where i read it. but the dome shaped head in the first alien happened because it was a young alien. barely a day old. The aliens we see in aliens (alien2) have ridged head because of the fact that they have lived longer. So they are considered adults.
I just read that as well. James Cameron saw the Alien props and some of the xenomorphs head dome was cracked. He looked at Giger's ridge head design and decided it is functional and he liked the way it looked. Then he came out with the first alien being a younger version of his alien warriors story.
Honestly what makes me upset is that when I was a kid my Dad managed to get me the AVPR Alien Warrior, 4 Variants of Wolf and BOTH variants of the Predalien. I managed to break all my aliens and I damaged most of the predators (still have them but I had to superglue one leg on of the figures) and I’m pretty sure I’m missing some stuff with my predators but the fact that I was so careless with my aliens is just heartbreaking especially now since they’re considered rare. Played with them a bit too rough and because of my past mistakes I’m not holding those beauties in my hand 😭. A shame but now that I’m older I think I’ll be able to start up another AVP collection and treat them with a lot more care. Live and learn.
ufff...that happened to me with marvel action figures....a toy biz vision , a marvel legends VENOM¡...i don`t know..in the actual times i love so much everyting...from virus to nebulas and more..
DUDE...Great video. Outstanding camera work and lighting...I can feast my eyes on all the detail I want to see. Very informative and just an all around good watch for an action figure geek like me. Thank you.
I was expecting big chap to be way higher on the list cuz he was the very first alien to be seen on the big screen and without him there would be no queen xenomorph and no predalien and so on he started the whole alien franchise
LOL I dunno why, but when you said the Predalien had a crippled look and then started to articulate him I started cracking up at how funny he looked! Nice list! :)
Raymond Ayala you must have only seen the films once off hand then. The series has a ton of great lines from a bunch of talented actors and you pick the tired old Bill Paxton line?
Im waiting for Neca to release a new Predalien with the new articulation! It will likely kill the value of the old one but thats the way it goes i guess...great list!
I like the traditional aliens but I have to say I'm very happy to see mantis alien, and it's my favorite alien they've made. It's so unique and breaks away from the norm. Same goes for clan leader predator. It's nice to see something more than just the same ol predator with a lot of reuse of armor.
Couldn't agree more. Under the proper lighting, they can look very lifelike and quite terrifying. The translucent dome makes all the difference. Always preferred it to the darker types of domes.
My top three are: Alien Warrior (Aliens), Alien (Isolation) and Dog (Alien 3). Queen isn`t my best choice as design isn`t compact and bulky but rather very skinny (with too large head).
you understand something a LOT of figure review channels don't (you know to use an actual good quality camera)! enjoying the content dude hopefully my shelves should be looking like yours in a months time
From The Shelves was just saying it's good to see a figure review channel use a good camera xD and that I hope my shelves are filled with neca figures as much as yours soon!
KARMA Well I assure you lower budget reviewers like me with my laptop camera are doing the best we can to give people reviews they will like despite our drawbacks.
My favourite alien is the resurrection warrior. I like the paint and the design, and the water scene makes me like the design even more. My second favourite is the predalien. Just a really cool design, and has a tremendous amount of shelf presence. My third favourite is the big chap (series 2), i love the classic design and think it looks sick.
haha, "the lighting started to die" when u brought the predalien figure into the camera. lol, the predalien has a cures of dark lighting so u can't see the god dam thing in the movie. great video and great choices as well as amazing figures
I wish that my collection of aliens were like yours,yours look pretty cool and I hope I could get some more aliens, I hope they make a more articulated predalien.
Cool tidbit about the Predalien. The dreads were made from leftover infant dog alien tails from when the fx guys did Alien 3. :-) I still have both that one and the closed mouth version, which I just adore. But the closed mouth one fell over one day, and the head and left arm popped off. Had to glue the arm in, but even though the head seems to be an undamaged ball joint, I've never been able to get it to stay on securely. Hoping they rerelease it with better articulation.
I loved avpr too not sure why all the hate.great list I got them all and the predators. I keep mine all in the boxes so I usually have no idea on the articulation theses guys have. Love the Vids man keep them up.
actually the Dog Alien and Runners arent the same thing, Runners werent a thing until the videogame AVP2 in 2001, while color and texture wise they resembled the dog alien, their lore and background has no relation, so it was most likely used as a reference/nod to Alien 3
Neca will remake avpr like they did avp, so aspect a better predalien with more articulation and detail within a year or two. Glad I have the original to keep me company though!
You might be able to find it on Ebay still. It didn't seem SUPER popular being from a video game and not a movie. Be prepared to like superglue joints or something I had to on my the legs are so damn weak it won't stand on it's own.
I have the isolation Xenomorph and it's a fantastic figure. Shame I only have him and the dog alien. Otherwise I would do my own list like this. And why am I not surprised with number 1 😊! Great list. I just need to get more aliens.
From The Shelves same with my Kenner ALIENS. Yes I have quite a lot and I have reviewed most of them on my channel. Still got at least 3 or 4 left to review
I have the Predalien figure but one of the arm pegs broke off so I had to super glue it in place to display it. It sucks, but I'm just glad I still have it from when I was like 11 or 12 years old. At one point I had 2 of them but I lost the second. Also still have my Wolf Predator but he is missing the accesories and one finger but It is harldly noticible in the way I display him.
TheRealClassAct a old 2 pack sold a toys r us. came with the closed mouth variant of a jungle hunter as well as a alien skull and predator skull. it is getting pricy now days. I was lucky to grab it shortly after it came out
I have thr NECA queen and while I love it, the skull mount doesn't slide forward, the head doesn't rotate down properly and the back spikes don't fit into their sockets properly. I still love it but damn y'know.
Awesome list! I know this question has kinda already been answered in the comments but just wanna make sure lol - is the number 9 Alien the same Alien from your NECA Alien/Predator Exclusive TRU 2 pack review back on 18 July 2016? Just wanting to be sure cause looking at getting one myself but the colour looks more black in the other video but assuming it's just the different lighting? Like the brown/more original look and the detail looks amazing! :-)
HELP: I have a "open mouth ver" (just like the vid) predalien on his box. I'm a woman tight on space to display things so I usually keep things on their packaging, I'm wondering if I should just sell him now and buy the next NECA wave of predaliens (whenever that comes) since I really love him, but I was never convinced by the lack of articulation so (awesome sculpture though, it compensates pretty well)... what do you guys think I should do?, I can wait, I'm not impatient, and I know the moment it goes out the original will lose his value instantly, so if I'm gonna' sell it it has to be like "right now", any confirmation on the AVPR line yet? we are April 2017 and series 11 was announce but it doesn't have any AVPR figures in it... I could use some opinions here. Thanks in advance.
ArgenDoll Underground Radio it keeps getting pushed back. it could be a year or 2 until the avpr line gets revisited at this point. if you want to make some money, I would deff sell him now because the closer it gets to being released again the less people are going to pay. I would sell now because eventually people won't even want to buy it because yo the new version. You could prob get anywhere form 75-175 for him depending on the market and where you are selling him
I have had a bad time with Neca before and my figures often broke with ease. the last time I had a Neca figure it was the alien isolation xenomroph. due to quality control the figure broke a few hours wafted taking it out of the box. but for some reason I am thinking about giving Neca a second chance by 1 to 3 xenomroph figures. Should I do it?
I have about 30 Neca figures. My Big Chap's ankle was stuck when I got it. I tried to force it and it broke. I had to glue it back on. I also broke one of the little piston on the back of Robocop's leg. Fixed with glue as well. More recently I broke a tiny cable on the arm of my Ultimate Jungle Hunter. It's a really tiny rubbery cable and it's not long enough to fully extend the arm. It broke but the tip is resting on the edge of the gauntlet so I wont bother fix it since it look fine. Many of my predators, aliens and terminators have also taken dives off shelves and none broke. I'm not sure which of my Neca figure is the oldest but I think articulations have improved a lot on their newer stuff. They seem to break on tiny stuff that are obviously fragile rather than having limbs fall apart like they did years ago.
*The Predator Alien figure going up for 250 dollars* Me who owned nearly every figure mentioned in this video including Pred Alien since i was a kid: wat
