NECA has released a special preview for Alien Day 2019. They have announced a special Alien 40th Anniversary – Samuel Brett 7″ Scale Figure. Look for Brett, along with the previously announced Denis Parker, to release later this year. See the new photos after the jump.
Alien 40th Anniversary - Brett Figure Preview by NECA
Love it! I wish NECA would settle on a standard for their figures though: clear plastic skin or painted. I get it on guys like Rocky and Apollo, but Ripley looks weird standing next to Brett and Bishop with painted skin (I know she gets sweaty during the movie but it still looks odd to me, plus I've never found a Ripley with great face paint)
Holy crap- Here's one I never thought we would see. Love it. This is a must buy, Brett was always my favorite Nostromo crew member so this is just awesome news.
Right...
WOW. Both Brett AND Parker are on the way??? Holy shit, I am there!
That said, announcements like this just continue to piss me off. We can get a figure of a scrawny, middle-aged spaceship engineer (no offence), but not one of Lieutenant Mike Harrigan from Predator 2? Danny Glover representation is sorely needed in plastic form!
MacReady too, dammit!

I don't think their's any likeness rights with Predator 2 (same with Predator, Alien, Aliens). So they have to negotiate directly with Glover or his agent. If he's unwilling (as many actors tend to be), or the price is too high, then no amount of fan outcry will resolve that.
It took until after Harry Dean Stanton passed away for them to be able to secure his rights for Brett from his families estate.

With Al Matthews, I believe Randy had said on multiple occasions that they've tried reaching out with no response. I know they made a hard press a few years back to get multiple likenesses.
Bill Duke is apparently another one like that. He says publicly that he'd love to have a Mac figure from Predator. But then they only hear crickets back when they reach out to his reps.

That's a really good likeness!
It's great that they're finally able to give us Brett. Ideally this will somehow lead to us getting Bud from Repo Man.

My fear is that NECA hasn’t even reached out to actor like Danny Glover to see if he’s even interested, since the only thing they seem to sight is no likeness rights or limited sales potential. I just wish we got a difinitive answer like ‘no Glover usn’t Interested,’ or something.
I’ll live either way and I truly do appreciate any action figure we can get of major and niche characters alike and I think in time whether it’s within the year or the next ten years we’ll finally get a Detective Mike Harrigan from NECA.
First Ripley, now Brett? HELL YEAH!!!
This just leaves Ash. Here's hoping they Dallas and Lambert without their space suits. Not holding out hope for Kane but a face hugged version sans space suit would be awesome.
