Here’s what the great folk at NECA have to say “Alien: Romulus is in theaters NOW! Celebrate the Alien: Romulus premiere with our Alien: Romulus collection, featuring the Ultimate Scorched Xenomorph Action Figure and Accessory Set. Both products are available for pre-order on the 
ALIEN movies don’t come around often enough as far as I am concerned. This one is a good one. A little heavy handed on the fan service and boasting familiar scenarios, sure. Regardless, none of those problems stop it from being a fine space adventure worthy of the ALIEN moniker. I liked it.
Here’s a disclaimer from the manufacturer, “ALL PRODUCTS ARE FAN ART BULLAIRS NYLLC 2024 CLAIM THE LEGAL RIGHT OF FAIR USE NO OFFICIAL TRADEMARK BRANDING OR LOGOS ARE FEATURED ON SAID PRODUCT.” Which means these are not licenced product but are nonetheless still worthy of some attention keen on some unique footwear. Which I have no problem with. I am for equally supporting independent creatives as much as I support Official product. 
The socks feature three distinct designs. The classic “FREE HUGS” facehugger pattern, a blood red “XENOMORPH” design and a third pair featuring both facehuggers and xenomorphs against a hexagonal background. These socks are wild! They also appear ideal to be mixed and matched rather than worn as straight pairs. Love ’em.
These will be available while stocks last from August 12 until September 1. hmmm-nom… Tasty. I could wolf down a Xenoburger and guzzle down some Acid Blood right now! I guess it’s true. “In space no one can hear you drool”.
The head and dorsal crest previously listed by the seller have already been sold. These quick sales can be attributed to the parts not being priced overly high. Today’s listing of a pair of legs and a left arm is no different. Here’s the links to all available parts as of this writing:
Reebok have famously released replica sneakers in the past based on those worn by Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in ALIENS. Don’t forget to read the rules of entry. No doubt Regal Cinemas won’t accept entries outside the US.
These highly anticipated items are limited and in very high demand. It’s no surprise that these sold out items are now appearing on eBay at tremendously inflated prices. Such is the fate of such collectibles. Get in quick or be prepared to be priced gouged in ways that should be declared criminal. After all, it’s just a plastic Alien head! …that you can use to stow popcorn in! The wild, woolly and weird component of the product has made it an instant bestseller – and it is now SOLD OUT! at least full two weeks prior to the movie’s release. If you want to be brave enough and 
First up is the major Alien appearing in the movie, Scorched. Here’s NECA’s description of this figure, which is probably the largest accessory load-out of any NECA Alien figure to date, “NECA’s Ultimate action figure version of the Scorched Xenomorph stands over 9 inches tall with 23 points of articulation and features an opening jaw with an extending inner mouth and wired tail. The screen-accurate figure comes with interchangeable dome parts for a drone Xenomorph Warrior look, perfect for army building! Other accessories include interchangeable hands, facehugger and chestbursters with wired tails, and a display stand for dynamic posing. Comes in window box packaging.”
The second reveal features an accessory pack largely comprised of small alien forms and the cocooned Big Chap. Here’s NECA’s list of contents for this accessory pack, you’ll find the “Model F44AA Pulse Rifle toy accessory (fits 7” scale figures), Asteroid with fossilized Xenomorph XX121, Facehugger and Chestburster with wired tails for posing, Cryo frame case with Facehugger and interchangeable damaged plastic parts, Facehugger that can go around the heads of most NECA 7-inch scale action figures.” 
This item appears to be in the 7 inch scale and comparable in size to other figures in NECA’s exceptionally popular Reel Toys range. The original 1979 Ben Cooper ALIEN costume and mask set is now a rare and sort after collector’s item. It was also celebrated in miniature form some years back on 
Along with a fully articulated Romulus Alien figure NECA appears to be releasing a handful of other accessories. Of particular note is the confirmation of the long rumored presence of the original Alien creature in the movie, encased in a protective resin-like cocoon. We witness this mysterious object being recovered during one of the trailers and here, the contents are fully revealed. It is definitely, 100% Giger’s original designed creature we last saw being expelled by the Narcissus engines – and likely the source of all the creatures present aboard Romulus’ Renaissance station. I wonder if both halves of the cocoon will be included? Various small Alien forms such as a pair of facehuggers, a chestburster along with the new rifle we are already relatively familiar, also appear to be included as part of this line up. No mention of any human(oid) characters appear in TOYARK’s gallery or post; just
Here’s some info about this upcoming publication, “Marvel’s one-shot will take place prior to the events of the film, providing an illuminating backstory behind the film’s main threat. Made in close partnership with Director Fede Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues, both of whom wrote Alien: Romulus, the comic is a must-have companion to one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer.” Not a big fan of comics myself these days but this item can certainly be treated as a prologue of sorts to ALIEN Romulus due to the director and writer of the movie being involved in its production. You can pre-order the upcoming ALIEN: Romulus comic at your local comic shop today and it will be available on store shelves on October 16, 2024.
I reviewed ALIEN Covenant upon release back in 2017 and it’s already been added to the Movie Reviews section. This means at least some content is present and it’s not going to be a blank slate until mid August when ALIEN Romulus is released. Nonetheless, the review for the hotly anticipated new movie is coming. I’ll post News of the review when it’s ready. That will happen sometime around mid August. I’m looking forward to this movie. I’ll be here to provide my opinion of it then.
Here’s some comments posted by Matt in regards to the construction of this item, “To create Newt, I took a Mego 3 3/4” Uncle Jesse figure from the Dukes of Hazzard line. The smaller size and somewhat rounder physique actually works perfectly for the character. In the interest of keeping things simple, I opted to use an Ellie Sattler head from the Jurassic Park line. A hollowed-out Cpl. Hicks head makes for a perfect helmet.Newt now can fight Xenomorphs side by side with Ripley!” Fascinating and wonderful.
The bucket clearly resembles an Alien head. Curiously, it is not based on the designs we have seen to date appearing in ALIEN Romulus. The bucket design appears to be lifted directly from the creatures seen in ALIEN Covenant. A great design in its own right – just seven years too late. Nonetheless, this looks like a wild item for a popcorn bucket. Once contents are consumed, it could be used to stow any number of things inside. Wads of cash, your stash of weed, your old socks; or maybe, y’know? Just leave it on display in your collection. This isn’t the only Alien themed popcorn bucket we’ll see become available upon release of ALIEN Romulus. Another bucket featuring a facehugger attached to the outside is also known to become available. Release information, prices and availability are unknown at this stage for either of these items.
There’s a lot to unpack here but the original Giger design is demonstrably present and features the iconic elongated head, with the skull visible beneath the carapace. The original Giger designed six fingered hands, clavicles and thigh details are also weighty in this design. The heels and lengthened feet with raised ankles demonstrates ALIEN Isolation is also being represented here with digitigrade legs and elongated tail spike. Of peculiar interest are the raised claw spurs appearing on the toes of the creature. This detail is evocative of one of Giger’s early abandoned concept designs of similarly clawed feet for the creature that appears in ALIEN 3.
The box art on the wraparound window packaging for these four items is absolutely snappy, featuring a classic green low-fi pixelated font used for the character names. Australian fans and enthusiasts
