The soon to be released Alien and Predator 5.5″ Scale Classics Assortment Figures are now available via the NECA eBay and Amazon Stores. These figures take modern characters, and recreate them in the style of the classic Kenner toy line (kind of the reverse of their Kenner Tribute assortments). Included are the Berserker Predator from Predators, and the Neomorph from Alien: Covenant. These begin shipping to retailers on November 20th, and will be in stores by early December. The figures sell for $14.99 each plus shipping.
Introducing a new line of retro-style action figures straight from the Nineties! These sturdy 5.5” figures evoke a simpler time when action figures were tossed in the bucket to go to the beach, or left strewn across the stairs for parents to trip over. The debut figures in the line are Berserker Predator, which has a removable mask, and Neomorph Alien, which comes with a baby Neomorph. Blister card packaging.

This is cool and it looks kinda creepy. The Kenner line continues
Ugh, let it die
I love these. That's the kind of retro stuff I can get behind - continuing old lines with characters that came after the line ended. Not making every character ever in styles that don’t even fit them like that Reaction craze.
This is fun and I like it. I can see myself getting a lot of Predators from this line. Aliens not so much, but Preds definitely. They're already starting off strong, Berserker looks great and I'm thrilled that they include the mask too.
I hope this does well enough for them to do more, I really want to see the likes of Scar and Wolf done in this style too.
Love this stuff, pass on that stupid Neomorph though. Couldn't they have chosen a more "regular" Alien to start off with
Grid is probably the closest we could get, a warrior alien but with the net pattern on the head. The rest is pretty much new creatures, like the Predalien from AvP2 or the Deacon from Prometheus.
Did Kenner do the Dog Alien? Maybe that could be how they get a drone Xenomorph in this line.
But maybe they will just make "movie" versions of the regular drones and warriors and label them as being from the newer films.

I don't know WTF either of them are since I stopped watching, but I'm getting them on principle. I want more 5.5 everything. Now make me a Kenner Ferro to fly my EVAC Fighter.

I totally missed they were doing this retro line. Any other licenses?
Good for those interested. Yes, the neomoprh with a big old inner jaw is an odd thing to lead with. And I do question if there's that a big a market for retro 90's Kenner-style. I mean, that was the decade McFarlane showed up the major companies by upping the action figure game in detail and paint.
All this retro stuff, but no retro GI JOE (factory customs aside), because Hasbro sucks. No other retro figures in vintage o-ring style probably because it costs more than 5 POA stuff. Give me the colonial marines in o-ring...not some $30 a piece fragile 1:18 scale, but honest to goodness toys.

Cool, but totally crap Pred/Alien to start off with...
I think for modern figures with a vintage flair I'll try and get my hands on LANARDs take on Aliens...
