I am so excited by this reveal! The original Aliens vs Predator comics are classics. I have always wanted action figures of Broken Tusk and Machiko Noguchi, they're my Holy Grail of collecting. And this year NECA will make BOTH of them. So happy:D

The rifle looks exactly like the one in the comic pages you posted, Joe. Looks like your guess about it being Machiko Noguchi is dead-on.

To be fair, a lot of people guessed it as well. Though, I believe the Predator Shorty may have used this or a similar gun as well in the same comic series. Would be an epic swerve if it was for Shorty and not Machiko.

OH SHIT! Machiko! It's happening!!! Somebody post Ron Paul!

That reminds me, whatever happened to the Aliens Colonial Marines weapons pack?

Still coming, but everything got pushed back when Alien Covenant's release date was moved forward.

Exciting news! Can't wait to see how it looks.

Neca equals awesome but I am running out of room for all of them:(

Space, the #1 enemy of the collector...

#2 is money.

#3 is my girlfriend repeating: "Do you really need to buy another figure?!?":p

It would be a dick swerve, you mean. I don't think anyone would want Shorty over Machiko.

Luckily I don't have the third problem, as my girl is a collector as well. :)

@Joe: Thanks for scanning those panels. They remind me of how much I miss the art of Chris Warner and a few other artists from that period. So much nowadays seems canned by comparison.

I definitely want Machiko. :cool:

Holy cow please let it be Machiko Randy from Neca said many times that she is coming. hoping its this time so awesome! and with broken tusk!! love the comic. I do think the face will be very tricky to make since were talking about someones drawing art style will be interesting to see how the face comes out.

Hopefully masked AND unmasked head for her (or a removable helmet)LOVED these books!

Yeah, that's going to be the most difficult transition into a 3D sculpt, mainly because she's been drawn in several different styles. Ideally, she'll look like a Japanese woman, but I've seen her drawn as if she was straight up caucasian, so I really hope they didn't use any examples of the latter for sculpt references.

Totally agree hopefully a beautiful Japanese woman I'm guessing the helmet version will be first then the unmasked version.

Very cool! I hope a removable mask is a possibility, but we may just get a masked version of her. Anyone else wondering this could be a SDCC exclusive? Just a hunch, but she's definitely up there with Ahab. It would make more sense to release her with Broken Tusk, so hopefully that's the case.
