When I saw that NECA changed their twitter profile to Spike, I initially thought they might be doing a Cujo figure or Max the dog from the 1993 film “Man’s Best Friend”. Either way the alternate head for Spike could easily stand in for Cujo or Max.

With that said, while the inclusion of Spike in this set is a much welcome surprise, Given the price tag of the set, they should have also included a size accurate Queen Chestbuster to display along side their Alien 3 Ripley. I really thought that was going to be included from the start and that the big Queen Chest Buster we’re getting was like a molting concept version of the queen. However, a Queen Chestbuster was also seen in Alien Resurrection so there is still an opportunity for NECA to give us a smaller Queen Chestbuster.

Also I really wish this Spike figure could have been articulated. I get it if it’s a cost saving measure not to include articulation, but the figure loses a lot of it’s appeal in opinion not being posable.
