NECA has sent out photos and details for their upcoming Alien 40th Anniversary Assortment 2 figures. This wave of 7″ scale figures includes Parker, Brett, and a blood covered Big Chap Alien. This wave is available at online specialty stores, as well as “Mom and Pop” toy shops. The assortment is set for release in July.
Released to theaters in 1979, Alien became one of the most successful films of the year and has since grown to be a timeless sci-fi classic. To celebrate the film’s 40th Anniversary, NECA is releasing an ongoing series comprising of new releases all year long, with at least 9 different Limited Edition action figures to collect. Each release will be a limited production run so act quickly!
Wave 2 will include highly requested fan favorites Brett and Parker, who feature brand new sculpts from head to toe and photoreal facial deco of Harry Dean Stanton and Yaphet Kotto. Also included is a Bloody Variant of the Big Chap, displaying the blood of an unfortunate Nostromo crew member.
Each figure will come packaged in a 40th Anniversary Kenner inspired window box to commemorate the occasion.

Wait, what was series 1?
Looks like Brett and a Parker cosplayer.
The need a series 3 of Parker with a hole punched in his skull to go along with the blood big chap.
That Brett and Parker look amazing. I want to get them, but I don't have the room for an Alien display anymore, which is why my Ripley remains unopened.
That Harry Dean Stanton sculpt is just fantastic.
"You see, Mr. Parker and I feel that the bonus situation has never been on an equitable level."
Yeah, my local store got them in today. I was pretty relieved after seeing them in hand. The final likenesses came out really nice. I really love these two.
That said, I had to buy this wave as a set so I have the bloody Alien too, but I don't really care about it since I already have the ultimate. I'll probably throw the bloody one on ebay.
Speaking of ebay, that's probably the only way I'll ever get my hands on Ash when he comes out, since he's in the Walmart-exclusive wave. Any idea when those are supposed to drop?

I got mine locally as well yesterday. Brett and Parker turned out fantastic. So glad I decided to pick them up. Skipped the bloody alien since I still need to find a good ultimate version.
As for the "bloody" one, it's pretty much the same as the Ultimate, albeit with the blood spatter and a more opaque dome, similar to the 2014(?) release.
I was tempted to keep the bloody one, but Amok Time was only seeing them as sets and I didn't want to be spending $80+ for three figures. Hopefully I can make a few bucks back.
Really hoping NECA eventually makes Dallas, Lambert, and Kane in their crew uniforms.
