NECA Alien Club Exclusive Purple Alien Warrior Up To Pre-Order

under Aliens and Predator Toy News

If you were a member of the NECA Club x Alien 2017 membership program, then you can now pre-order the exclusive Purple Alien Warrior. The figure is priced at $23.99 plus shipping. You can order it by Clicking Here (must be an active club member to see the listing). It will ship out later this year.

The classic Kenner Tribute Purple Warrior is the perfect match for the 6-piece Kenner Tribute Diorama that club members received earlier this year. Based on the card art illustration and coloration, it stands over 9” tall and features over 30 points of articulation and a bendable tail. Release date coming soon!

    They say in the FAQ 9 series of figures with 13 "new" figures... I'm wondering about re-release and stuff thrown into those waves. It's already about $7-$8 more per figure (with shipping) than buying them at retail but if there are repacks in old figures in those 9 series of figures it's just not worth the extra charges to me. (bad enough that plenty of those 13 new will probably be color variants and translucent figures)

    Do people really like Aliens this much to warrant all this crap?

    Am I missing something here?

    As cool as all of this sounds, I will never do another subscription thing after dealing with Matty.

    This is a little different. No club fees, and shipping direct from NECA. I've bought from there Ebay store a few times, and usually have items within 3 days. I can understand hesitation after Digital River tho. Those guys seemed like a nightmare.

    Yes and yes. Big fan of Aliens, and like the non-movie stuff they're doing more than the film figures (outside of the Marines).

    Eh, count me in with the people underwhelmed by this. A cartoony kid's dio isn't going to entice me.

    I fully acknowledge how silly "cartoony kid's dio" sounds coming from an adult toy collector.

    Hmm...BTW, is that a new, 100% all-black Big Chap I see, or is that just the lighting in that shot?

    I'm pretty sure that's just the one from the Kenner two pack.

    Yup, you're right.

    I certainly won't commit blindly... I buy some of the aliens that NECA produces... but not the color variants or translucent stuff... way to much of a commitment for me when I wouldn't want several of them... and I am not into "cartoony" backdrops...

    I remember going to McDonald's and having the happy meal box fold into one of these. Pretty cool when I was 4 :\

    Seems that NECA is giving another chance to join on the NECA Store website... Haven't spotted it on their social media though. Anyway, I went ahead and ordered/joined.

    Ha! Oh man- so glad I didn't subscribe. I knew with Neca it would end up just being a re-deco (though I had fears that they might go with the Cougar Alien or Snake or some other option... but being NECA you know they wouldn't waste tooling on a sub figure)

    I'm actually surprised it's a figure at all. I had thought they would do some type of lower cost accessory or add-on to an existing figure.

    I wonder how many people joined? At a few points they reopened the membership so more could join. Thats the kind of thing you do when numbers are low. I have to wonder if had they had a really large membership if it would have been better or this was the plan all along?

    I think one of the issues was you were originally supposed to get the figures before retail. I don’t recall that ever happening. So the premium cost to be a member (full suggested retail price and very expensive shipping) never resulted in real benefits.

    So I just saw the entire world shit on this thing on their Facebook post. Am I the only person who doesn't hate this figure? It's a neat nod to the original Kenner line done in a creative way. Personally I always appreciate it when club/comic con exclusives turn out to be neat but non-essential items. I guarantee you the same people would be throwing a fit if an unreleased character or some other "must have" was the exclusive here.

    I’m not a member and completely agree. It’s a balance between giving members some good perks, and not alienating (or non-Alienating) non-members.

    For what it’s worth, I like the figure. Nice and distinctive paint.

    I think it's crap. I regret participating in the club.
    If I'd of known it would be all Kenner stuff I'd never of joined.
    I get that you don't want to (excuse the pun) alienate the mass market with a restricted release that's a "must have", but even a figure with a new headsculpt, or accessory, or new anything would of been better! Ocassionally NECA has done some repaints that are clever/novel enough to warrant a second purchase (the jungle demon predator for example), but the volume of alien repaints is just too much. I just don't think this is good enough for the "reward" for buying all the club figures, and concept of it is a stretch in any case, the box art inspired, really? I hate to sound like a hater, but I'm just very disappointed.
