Final in-packaging photos have been released for the upcoming Alien 3 – Dog Alien Ultimate Figure from NECA Toys. From the product description, we know this is a new sculpt with updated articulation. It also includes a green Queen Chestburster (as seen in Alien 3 Marketing) and a standard Queen Chestburster. It will begins shipping to retailers on November 18th. You can see the new packaging photos 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.
Alien 3 - Ultimate Dog Alien by NECA
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 isn’t 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 don’t 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. It’s great for those who don’t 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.

Ultimate is a joke now!
Before, ultimates used to be the ultimates versions of a character.
Now they put only 2 poors accessories and write Ultimates on everything they release. Not to mention character in almost ten versions.
Ultimate my a**.
Besides, the head is way too small. The first release doesn't suffer from that, so I'm good. Try again, NECA.
Ill pass on this, i do like the worm creature thou
