NECA Aliens Hadley’s Hope – Carter Burke and Concept Alien Warrior 2-Pack – Toyark Photo Shoot

[Dormamu]

That last picture really captures Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser from 'Mad About You' so well.

I was channeling the episode where he forgot to replace the toilet paper roll.

Once I get thru my back log, that's on the list to pick up.

Great photo shoot! Looking forward to adding these to my already massive NECA Aliens collection. Thanks for the great set!

Thanks for the kind words. Burke is going to look good with Series 12 Ripley.

I know they have to make this a two pack in order to prevent peg warming, but I really just want the Burke. :/

I got mine from TRU.com, along with the new Vasquez.

cool..what do you think of them??
I don't really want any of those things in the set except for the turrets themselves.

[Dolemite]

Great shoot, Joe, and Burke looks amazingly good. It just might be the rare case where the final retail figure actually looks even better than the early prototype pics.

The Concept Warrior is neat as well. If i had to get another Alien, I'm okay with this one.

BTW, is there any truth that they re-used Freddy Krueger's legs on Burke? I have no idea, but that's the word on the street.

[AlanThCollector]

Great photo shoot Joe. I Just have one question about the Burke figure.

I speculated that NECA reused the Ultimate NOES1 Freddy legs for this Burke figure.

Are you able to take any photos comparing that figure with Burke? I just want to know in case I decide to customize my Burke when I get one to make it more aestecically pleasing for me.

[Joe Moore]

You know, I'm not sure. That's a good eye. I'll have to take a look over the weekend. My NOES1 Freddy is packed away at the moment and I haven't actually thought about a possible reuse for the lower body. But that would explain the issue with the ankles.

[Dolemite]

Burke absolutely uses Freddy's legs/crotch (different feet, however). Here's a pic from your Ultimate Freddy gallery to compare:

[Joe Moore]

That's a good pick up. I didn't even think about reused parts. Makes sense to try and keep costs down I guess.

They're excellent. Like you said, the rest of the stuff are not much use except for perhaps props and decorations, as every figure already comes with their own weapons, but the turrets are definitely well done. But then again, my review might be skew as I'm a big fan of NECA and what they've been doing, and I'm not picky. So take that for what it's worth.

I can see Paul Reiser put that on his resume: "I have Freddy's crotch".

[Joe Moore]

I see some people taking issue with me saying "He sports his ridiculous vest and a plaid shirt." for Burke. That's not a negative on either the figure or the film. Burke's outfit was intended to be far removed from the more "futuristic" looks of the military outfits and jumpsuits worn by everyone else. He's dressed like a suburban Dad who's getting ready to go fishing at the lake. He's supposed to look out of place and it's meant to disarm you a bit. He's the normal nice looking guy who turns out to be the monster. After years of watching the movie, we kind of just accept it as being Burke, because we already know what he is.

What kind of a loser would bitch about you saying that? You were right on the mark...Burke was supposed to look like a total square and the odd man out among the marines.

Some people are retarded, I swear.

[Dolemite]

Looks like NECA sent you the very best Burke they could find, Joe, because every single one I've found at retail has HORRIBLE eye paint. I've passed up every one I've come across so far. Such a shame.

[Karma Jawa]

Mine should arrive any day now. Love the look of Burke, and his clothing will really make him stand out. As for the concept Alien included, originally I wasn’t particularly interested in it, but looking at the photos it might well be the best xenomorph yet. I’m guessing it’s the upcoming ultimate alien warrior body, but with the dome head. Personally I prefer that look to the ridged one, plus it looks great on the dog alien.
