apptt4 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I absolutely love NECA, tho they do have quality control issues. knee and elbow joints can wear out fairly quickly, small pegs can snap off. personally I just accept it, but when really bad NECA will ship you a replacement part. Quote

Sounds like a winner. Thanks I pre-ordered the brown and blue warrior set and the 1/4 scale MONSTER yesterday. I'ma display it and leave it alone kinda guy, these will work great for me. Now where to put that huge one at.............................. Quote

sqidd Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I think that needs to be on the wife's bedside table. Quote
tekering Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 I'd keep it lower to the ground, if I were you... It's a significant weight, and a fall could result in significant damage. Quote

I'm going to try and find a glass case just about the right size for this guy. Otherwise he will be out in the dust. And probably up high. Good heads up. If I put him up high I'll tether him in place with some fishing line. Quote

tekering Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 There's another quarter-scale Xenomorph I'd almost forgotten I had, since it's been hiding in a box for the past five years... The next time the wife comes to do laundry, she's in for a nasty surprise. Quote

What is that one called? I'm guessing Alien 3? I tried finding the 1/4 scale Predator (Jungle) last night but they're going for big bucks now. Quote

Yeah, that's the Tsukuda Hobby vinyl figure... although they claim it's 1:5 scale. Given there was no suit used in Alien 3 -- just a miniature rod puppet and an animatronic head -- it's difficult to pin down exactly how large the "alien creature" was supposed to be. Quote

That’s why she is now the ex. Quote

Mommar Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Rhino Alien is up for pre-order. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/104653 Edited October 16, 2019 by Mommar Quote
TangledThorns Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) So I had this ALIEN 18in doll for almost 20 years and couldn't figure out who made it, had no manufacturer marking and bought unboxed it at a comic book shop in 1999 IIRC. Did some digging on Google and after filtering many ALIEN toys I found it was made in Japan in the mid 1990s. Don't think it has that much value, especially since the tail just broke off http://www.hideousplastic.com/?page_id=921 Edited October 17, 2019 by TangledThorns Quote

sh9000 Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Kenner Drake and Rhino Alien preorder listings are up on Dorkside. Quote
sqidd Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I've got one Alien and one Predator. Looks like I need to step it up! They are the 18" versions though. Quote
derex3592 Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I really wanted to LOVE Neca Alien stuff, bought the Queen and 2 others and while the Queen was and still is great, the other two had frozen joints that snapped out of the box. After that I was done with them! Which is a shame, because they do look great. Quote

Yeah, I tend to keep my NECA stuff packaged... but McFarlane, Aoshima et.al. usually get opened for display. Quote
sh9000 Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 I’ve kept all of my NECA Aiens and Predators unopened except a Cinemachines APC and Cinemachines Dropship that were doubles. http://www.toyark.com/showpost.php?p=737755&postcount=56 Quote

tekering Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Will this be another Kenner homage figure, then? Quote

sh9000 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) I’m guessing it’s an Alien Ripley with realistic face that will come in packaging decorated like the unreleased Kenner 3.75” line. Edited December 25, 2019 by sh9000 Quote
