An updated version of the Alien 3 – Dog Alien is coming from NECA Toys. At San Diego Comic-Con 2019, they revealed the Ultimate Dog Alien 7″ Scale Figure. According to the newly released product description, this is a new sculpt with updated articulation. It will also include a green Queen Chestburster (as seen in Alien 3 Marketing) and a standard Queen Chestburster. It will be released in October. Check out the official pics after the jump.
Back by popular demand and better than ever, it’s the Dog Alien from 1992’s Alien 3!
The canine Xenomorph has received the deluxe treatment, with an all-new sculpt featuring improved articulation (over 30 points!), including an extendable inner mouth and bendable tail. The Dog Alien is over 9” long, and comes with a coiled Queen burster with stand and a chestburster.
Display-friendly window box packaging with opening flap.

Very awesome! The first Dog Alien (while really good) was really limited in the posing it could do, in reference to the typical poses it made in the film (and the puppet and models were able to do from the production).
Pre-ordered.
Ehh... This isnt ultimate. This is less for more. The only new things sculpt/wise that immediately jump out to me is new double jointed knee articulation and better range of motion at the neck. Otherwise this is the same figure from before.
The two new accessories while appreciated dont really add much especially when the previous Ultimate Alien releases each came with an egg and a facehugger along with the chestbuster.
They really should have just added these two accessories to the creature pack and just rereleased the Dog Alien with updated articulation. Its great for those who dont already have it, but not at that $30 price point.
I agree. The added articulation is great and all, but two itty-bitty accessories aren't "ultimate." That and NECA's odd and oft-repeated "all-new sculpt" claim (when its clearly just the original figure with some alterations) are getting into blatant false advertising territory.
I wonder if it's going to be like their previous Dog Alien that was prone to breakage?
If I can pull off these poses, I'm satisfied.

Plastic still has its limits, especially when the difference in size is accounted. That said, the original dog alien figure can get into some pretty crunched up poses. The range of movement on the head and neck is the main limiting factor, so hopefully this release will upgrade that.
