I so can not wait for these. Need more than a few aliens warriors and a few extra marines to swap some heads with. I know we will probably never see Ripley and Newt, but I would love a Bishop and Burke figure. Everyone needs androids and slimy corporate guys :-)

There are Aliens 4" figures, their articulation isn't that bad too. They look good with Joes.

Uh, Wow! These all look amazing! Damn you, NECA. First, you released Big Red, then Dutch is coming in Predators Series 8 and now THIS!??! Oh how my wallet weeps bitter tears.

The expression on Hudson is perfect. And I like the gold tone to the alien. If the joints can hold up, I'll buy at least 3. If only Neca could make a Ripley *sigh*

If that drone is anywhere nearly as posable as it looks, I need it.
Since I was a kid, I've wanted a drone that was posable enough to have it on all fours.

Why are some here talking like we'll never get a Ripley figure in this line? Is there a rights issue I'm unaware of? Mattel just released a figure of Sigourney Weaver's "Dana Barrett" in their Ghostbusters line this past summer, so obviously she's willing to let toy companies use her likeness for action figures. Or does Mattel hold exclusive rights to that likeness, regardless of which Weaver character it is? I'd really love to see NECA do a Ripley with power loader now that they are going forward with human characters from the Aliens movies. In fact, I want the whole squadron of marines along with Bishop, Burke, Newt, and Ripley. It would be a shame to get just Hicks and Hudson and nobody else. That's as bad as when Macfarlane ONLY made Hicks a few years back. It got my hopes up for more Colonial Marines, and they never followed through on that.

Wow I like what NECA is doing with retaining articulation yet disguising it well enough to not break the sculpt. Impressive. Who knew we would get human figures from Alien THAT articulated? Glad NECA is pulling this off.

NECA is planning on releasing a second series of 3 3/4" figs (Gears of War being the first) but they haven't said what it is yet. I think a lot of people would be excited if it was Alien related so we could get access to well made articulated figures that aren't at collector prices.
