If many others feel the same and pass on it too, its poor sales could kill our chances of getting anymore figures from the Aliens franchise.
NECA hasn't shown very much interest in doing an Alien 3 Ripley because that movie sucked except for the creature design, a fairly shared opinion. There has been a level of demand for Isolation figures since the game's release, I don't know how much for sure but every now and then someone on Twitter would ask about the possibility of NECA making them. Very few people want bald Ripley and neither does NECA themselves really, but I do recall them saying that they would do Alien 3 Ripley before they ever do Resurrection Ripley or the Newborn so there's that. I highly doubt that the Isolation wave will not sell well, Like I said a lot more people were asking about the Isolation Alien and Amanda figures as something they'd want rather than the occasional bald Ripley supporter. Even if the wave under-performs I imagine it wouldn't kill the line, the Alien line is one of NECA's pride and joy lines so it seems like they'd keep on doing it unless it ended up costing them a lot more to make than they sell which one wave's performance wouldn't greatly impact.
