NECA Alien Genocide Red Queen Mother – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on December 20, 2015 at 10:41 am by Joe Moore under Aliens and Predator Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Late last year, NECA released their Alien Queen Ultra Deluxe Figure. This massive, in-scale figure was a stunning new addition to the Alien line. During San Diego Comic-Con 2015, NECA surprised fans with a retooled version of the Alien Queen. The new version was based on the Red Queen Mother from Aliens: Genocide, a 4-part comic series by Dark Horse Comics. In the comic, the Red Queen Mother is locked in a civil war with a regular Alien Queen, all while a group of humans lead an expedition to harvest the secretions of the Queen Mother, which is an addictive substance for humans. The figure features some newly sculpted pieces, including a new head for the Red Queen. It also includes a stand an a cool backdrop diorama print.

We have a full gallery and review of the figure. It was provided to us by Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth. Read on for 55 high resolution images.

NECA Aliens: Genocide – Red Queen Mother – Ultra Deluxe Figure

Pros

  • Excellent new tooling
  • Great re-use of the sculpt
  • Strong paint apps
  • Joints are all very tight
  • Barely need to use the stand

Cons

  • None

Overall
The Red Queen Mother comes packaged in a large window box. The figure sits in a plastic tray with a few twist ties holding it in place. A large printed diorama backdrop is included, featuring painted artwork based on the alien world from the comic series. It includes the figure, two swappable inner jaws, back attachment pieces and a figure stand. The figure can be easily put back in the tray for display or for storage.

The Red Queen Mother stands at over 30″ long from head-to-tail and has over 30 points of articulation. When standing straight up, it’s easily over 15″ tall. The tail is bendable, allowing you to use it for stability while posing, however, you can use the included figure stand. That stand includes two poles, allowign for it to be placed at different heights to stand the Queen up and dynamically pose. The new tooling includes a newly designed head crest and mouth. The new design features white tendrils that stick off of the head and lower jaw. The figure is painted red with white highlights, some black detailing and also features a wash over it to bring out the detailed sculpting. The paint is handled very well throughout. The paint is clean with little to no bleed or cracking. The use of white is the stand out here, as it helps the red to pop even more and really separates it from the original Alien Queen figure.

The joints on the figure are very tight, but never felt paint locked. Like the original Alien Queen release, the figure has a staggering amount of articulation. Arms feature movement at the shoulders, two articulated elbow points and an articulated wrist. The head and neck features multiple points of movement as well. The legs can be posed in a number of ways, allowing it to stand quite large over the figures. The back attachments can swivel and bend for additional display options. The tight joints, along with the bendable tail allowed me to get most of the poses I wanted to without propping it up. So, I rarely used the figure stand while shooting.

The Red Queen Mother is an excellent release. I ran into no quality control issues while reviewing or posing the figure. No paint cracking, no locked joints, no broken pieces. The Red queen adds some great color diversity to the Aliens line, while pulling from the expanded universe of Aliens. Fans of the line, who have the room, should definitely pick this up.

    Gah! The photos made me check out the cheapest price for the black Queen and now I think I'm buying it, so this could be next!

    I take it the rocks in the pics are from the diorama print you get? Looks awesome.

    Yeah, the space rocks are on the Red Queen printout. Probably will use that for future Alien shoots from time to time. The regular Queen comes with a LV-426 themed backdrop.

    Excellent, thanks for the info! I ordered the regular Queen in the end, not that I even have any space to display it yet

    "Barely need to use the stand" - is that a difference between the last one? I didn't jump to get that one because of seemingly needing to use the stand to pose it.

    The joints seemed tighter here. Takes a little more messing around to get my original Queen to not use the stand, as the ankles are a bit looser on that one. The Red Queen I was basically able to set it and go.

    To be fair the original design of the Queen really can't stand up without support. I suppose thinking of it as an actual living creature one can imagine it capable of shifting weight blah blah blah but even the puppet used for filming required a lot of effort to keep upright since all of the weight is at the head and arms.

    Yea, that's my main reason of not getting it. I mean, I want it, but I feel they will release a more stable version that doesn't need a stand. That crest just makes it too top heavy from all the reviews I've seen. I suppose when I get the power loader I could pose that with the queen and they'd end up holding each other up in a fight scene, but I've been holding off for now.

    It does come with a stand if you fear it falling over. It can sit in multiple spots on the underside of the Queen. They are on the second production run of the original Queen as well, so I'm not sure if joints are a bit tighter there.
