The Aliens Series 11 Figures made their full debut at Toy Fair 2017. The latest in the series includes three figures from three different era of the Aliens franchise. In the wave, you get another member of the Nostromo crew in Lambert and two Aliens; one a Kenner homage and the other a Dark Horse Comics homage. Here are the official details and photos.
Series 11 of our bestselling Aliens action figures features three action figure debuts!
It includes the first-ever Lambert with an authorized likeness, as well as two new Alien figures: one from Dark Horse’s Aliens: Defiance comic book mini-series, and a classic Kenner Alien tribute that’s cast in translucent blue plastic just like the original.
Joan Lambert, navigator of the USCSS Nostromo, stands approximately 7” tall and features the likeness of Veronica Cartwright. She comes with two heads, removable helmet and flashlight accessory.
Both Xenomorph action figures stand over 9” tall and feature over 30 points of articulation with bendable tails.
These figures are due in May. See all of the photos by reading on.
Preview of New Alien Xenomorph for NECA Aliens Series 11

Aw shit!
WE PRAETORIAN NOW?
WE PRAETORIAN NOW?
I think I'm just praying too hard for a Praetorian.
Spitter or Arachnid.
Cougar/Panther came to mind for me, but Google 'unproduced Kenner Alien toys' and look for the one that folds up into an egg. Crest is identical, if maybe left field for NECA.
Personally, I really hope that the sculpt being previewed is for the Spitter, because A:CM is one of my favourite games, and seeing NECA produce any of its creatures would mean we're that much closer to the titular Marines, or even better, the Weyland-Yutani PMCs.

Re: games; I never played Isolation but I watched a playthrough online and I will say that it didn't look like a game for me. I'm not huge into games where I'm gonna be hiding in a locker for minutes waiting for the AI enemy to leave the room. I also thought the ending was poo since it just sorta ends. Isolation did look great though but then most current gen games look good thanks to video-tech advances. I did play CM because a friend of mine got it and it was just so mediocre. I was clipping through everything (that was actually funny when I wound up inside the other marines so I could see through their teeth but it's still bad) and then multiple times I would run face-first into an alien only for them to just stare at me and do nothing. It didn't feel like I was playing in the world of Aliens when the aliens weren't threatening to attack me at all. It sucked the most because I remember thinking that the first trailer was pretty damn cool, the one that they ended up getting sued over for claiming it was "actual gameplay" even though the final product didn't look half as good. Hey on the bright side it's still not the worst video game about aliens, that title goes to the champ of bad: ET.
I'm sure we'll learn more about this sculpt withing following weeks or by Toy Fair for sure (I don't know of any other conventions/showings in between now and then where they could show more). I feel like some Kenner homage is the more likely guess but I suppose we'll just have to see.
I'm seeing either the Kenner Killer Crab, Arachnid or the Wild Boar Alien, which if they do the latter, I can picture him having a swap out head to replicate the action feature "spines" that popped out of the Boar Alien's head when he was lowered to the ground. I'm not seeing the Scorpion Alien here, because in reality, the original Kenner figure was intended to be a representation of the maturized Xeno the USMC faced in Aliens, and there was nothing really scorpion-like about it. Of course, NECA could take some liberties and create something new for it, but theoretically, they have already done Scorpion a few times now, and I think in the long run, when he is released, he will probably be a repaint with minimal retooling like Renegade "Pudding" Predator was...




EDIT: Some photo references to the Xenos I mentioned...
Scorpion
Killer Crab (who actually looks more like a scorpion than the "scorpion" alien does...lol)
Wild Boar
Arachnid (who on a second look, the new head sculpt looks closest to this guy...)
Edit: The more I look at this the more I agree with suchaname that it really does look like the alien we never actually got with the big egg on its butt that opened up.
So I guess on Twitter they sorta confirmed it is from the Aliens: Defiance comic series. NECA retweeted some account which stated that that's what it is and that it'll be in series 11. Still gonna be waiting for more information.
Didn't even know they were still making Aliens and Predator comics. Guess I have some digging to do.
That does sound like it'd be a pretty sweet fight.
It's pretty dull-looking, IMHO.
Between the 3 species it's easiest to spin the predators as the being the best option. Ever since the first AVP comics there has always been a "hero" predator that works with or at the very least doesn't kill the humans. The aliens are always just savage animals that kill on instinct which makes them the go to bad guys and the engineers while not fully explored definitely harbor no love for any race and seem intent on destroying humans. Predators have an honor system so it's easy to write out a plot where this honor system makes them the alien species we root for.
If I were a Psychology major, I'm sure I could pen a fascinating term-paper on the neuroses behind writing for the latter. I mean, you have to be a pretty odd duck to fantasize about identifying with and finding favour from a stratum of ostensibly superior beings that normally consider your kind game animals...
