New Photos of NECA's Alien 3 Dog Alien Figure

Looks cool, but I'll pass. I've got too many Xenomorphs than my case can handle, especially once the queen comes out. BTW, it looks like this has been delayed until Dec now.

NECA has continuously stated that Aliens series 3 will be out by November's end so it is possible that some areas won't get them until early December. So glad I pre-ordered this figure though, it definitely seems like the one that'll sell out the fastest just like Big Chap from series 2.

Looks like November is a long shot. they've adjusted their product page to say December.

Perhaps they meant they ship late November when they said that on Twitter? Sometimes it's too hard to guess until it comes out. Maybe some areas will get these by November, but at this point I think that December is going to be the widespread release time. Knowing my local TRU we won't see them until next year. So glad online stores exist.

These would need to start shipping late this week to meet a November release of any kind. NECA says "Series 3 will be shipping to retail in a few weeks, so get ready!". Some store in California may get it really late next week simply based on their location, but a November release is pretty much off the table if they haven't even shipped yet. Still, a 1 - 2 week delay for a toy release is pretty minor.

I'm just being a blind optimist about it and hoping against reason for a hasty release.

I hear ya my friend. I have seen Randy at NECA get surprised a time or two by someone finding something at retail before they expected it to hit.

Nope, they ship out to retailers on Dec 15th.

Their shipping calendar has been untrustworthy in the past. I got NES Predator at TRU in June and he wasn't said to ship until July 2, also Scunner from Pacific Rim came out ahead of his supposed date. I really don't mind when Aliens series 3 releases as long as it's well before Christmas. Even if they do take until the 15th, that should provide enough time to get these in before the 25th.
