Alien 40th Ripley Preview 002

NECA has shared a new preview for their upcoming line of Alien 40th anniversary Figures. The new images showcase the updated Ellen Ripley 7″ Scale Figure. The figure itself will be using digital printing technology on the face for a more accurate likeness. New accessories include a Motion Detector, a Cat Carrier, and a new Jonesy. A Flamethrower will also be included. We will share more details as they become available. You can see the new images after the jump.

    I have the same problem with this that I had with the original Evil Dead 2 Ash release; We really need a second headsculpt so the figure isn't perpetually looking shocked/ scared. Even just a face with a determined look would be fine, I don't need a gritted teeth or screaming expression!

    Ditto. I was hoping for another head.

    When Neca first teased the unpainted figure on Twitter, the headsculpt had a closed mouth. She may come with two heads or they are going to do like Ash (Evil Dead 2) and have a regular release followed by a later Ultimate one.

    Well with Ash it at least makes sense since "shocked" is his his go-to expression for a lot of the movie.

    Ash as in the Evil Dead character, not Ian Holm's character from Alien.

    Edit: Black Arbor beat me to it.

    In hindsight we should have seen the confusion coming.

    I thought NECA was making her in 1/4 scale. I assume Toy Fair will shine a light on it if it will happen.

    Looks damn good...I've said it before and I'll say it again...I love being a turtle...I mean, NECA scuplts a great figure.
    I always prefer a face with expression. A second head goes a long way though.

    Hmmmmmmmmm, not sure I need to get that Ripley since there's not too much different about her compared to the older one that I have unopened.

    To be fair, if you found yourself before an 8 foot tall alien creature with a mouth on its tongue, I think you would believe you are stoned too. :-)

    You have a point.

    It's a shame they didn't give her double jointed elbows so she could hold that flamethrower better. That would have given people a real good reason to pick her up.
