NECA are one day early on their regular weekly ‘Facehugger Friday‘ announcements and what a terrific reason to bring it forward. The new ALIENS 2 pack being released this October contains all kinds of goodies.
NECA has been teasing the Hadleys Hope accessory sign for a while along with an upcoming 2 pack but the identity of the actual figures remained undisclosed. We now know exactly what the contents are.
Weyland Yutani employee Carter Burke and a new concept Alien will be the main attraction in this package. Here’s the details and more images from NECA:
This very special action figure set is themed to the events that occur in Hadley’s Hope during Aliens and continues our 30th Anniversary celebration. The set includes the first-ever Carter Burke with the likeness of Paul Reiser, a special edition Concept Aliens Warrior with Dome, and a replica of the population sign for Hadley’s Hope.
Weyland-Yutani company man Carter Burke makes his action figure debut in this set! He stands approximately 7” tall, has over 25 points of articulation and features the likeness of Paul Reiser. His sculpt is completely faithful to the movie.
The Concept Warrior is based on James Cameron’s original concept for the Alien, which he envisioned with a semi-transparent dome and in a darker color scheme. (This was changed early in production.) It utilizes 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. The figure stands over 9” tall and has over 30 points of articulation.
The Hadley’s Hope population sign measures approximately 6 x 6 inches and will make a perfect diorama element. Clamshell packaging.
Acquiring Paul Rieser’s official likeness has been a great win for NECA for this released and no doubt fans of this series of figures will be happy to add him to their collection. The new Alien itself is a bridging link between the creature as it is seen in the original movie and the dome free variety that appear in the sequel.
The Hadley’s Hope accessory looks neat, too. This is 2 pack is a great way for NECA to round out the 30th Anniversary of the 1986 movie.
