I hope they don't pull something to make Kerrigan her wave's deluxe figure. She's fairly short and small on her own and then her wings are just skeletal frames. NECA regularly releases Aliens figures larger than regular humans that have long tails and a solid body so they could easily do Kerrigan as a normal $20 release. It would actually be weird if NECA didn't make her just a normal sized release figure.

They're very popular and enduring franchises. Alien was a huge success back in '79 and has influenced a wide array of fiction since its release and then its sequel Aliens was an even bigger financial success. Alien is both a landmark film for science fiction and horror so it pools two fairly large devoted groups of fans. Plus the titular Alien itself is an icon of film and has become instantly recognizable. Alien is so popular that it has its own unofficial holiday now like May the 4th for Star Wars. Predator is kinda similar but to a lesser degree. The first film was basically the original macho testosterone Expendables type of film with its cast but then the sci-fi elements and creature have made it far more memorable and enduring than just another action flick of the '80s.
Hell if it weren't for Alien and Predator then there wouldn't be a Heroes of the Storm, game or figures. Alien and Predator both influenced Starcraft, and Starcraft is what put Blizzard on the map and made them a big deal so you can see right there where the lasting appeal is. I could actually see both the Alien and Predator franchises lasting well past the HotS line. That being said I hope the HotS line sticks around for a while.
