NECA Previews Nostromo Suit Alien Figure

Okay, NECA. OKAY! You have my money already!!! LEAVE ME ALONE, NECA!!!!!

The question is, who's head is going to be in the suit? Kane would be the obvious choice, but will NECA actually do variants with Dallas and Lambert too? I'd also like to see a crushed helmet Kane variant with the facehugger attached to it. I'd definitely buy several of the same figure just to have the different heads on it. NECA would be foolish not to go with this option to maximize the value of the body's tooling.

Lambert would have to be shorter, and possibly baggier (since she's thinner, but presumably wearing the same size suit as the men).

On a separate note: What excites me most about this figure is that it will probably be the first high-quality collectible ever created based on the artwork of Moebius. I've been slowly putting together a 1/6 scale Arzach figure for a couple years now, and to see this Nostromo suit in progress gives me a boost of excitement.

I'm eager to see what other figures based on the first film are coming next year. So far we just know about the original xenomorph Alien, and the Nostromo spacesuit figure. But at SDCC this year they displayed Jones the cat as a teaser for the ALIEN line in 2014. I wonder what figure he'll come with as an accessory. Obviously its not the xenomorph itself since it's coming in the next wave with the Wendrix colonial marine, and we've already seen packaged shots of it. I also doubt it would come with the Nostromo spacesuit figure since it's not a logical accessory for that either. So who else are we getting that might include Jonesy?? Brett maybe, since he was hunting for Jonesy when he got killed?? He's not exactly high enough in the character hiearchy of that film to justify being the 3rd figure in the line though. Surely we'd get Ash and Dallas before a Brett figure. But do I dare hope that we're actually getting a RIPLEY figure with Jonesy??

Most likely just a white repaint of the Nostromo suit with a Ripley head sculpt.

I would kill for Ripley in any form, but I won't hold my breath until we actually see her.

Something I never noticed before.
Dallas = red suit
Kane = yellow suit
Lambert = green suit

I guess I never paid enough attention before, or the lighting was off, but I always thought they all had the same pale yellow suit. Looking at some images on Google a few minutes ago demonstrated otherwise.
