We will be rounding up all of today’s NECA’s San Diego Comic-Con 2020 updates into a single post. As we’ve been doing for the last few days, when they reveal new items, we will update this post with any of the announcements, previews, and reveals. We will likely bump the post a couple times for bigger announcements. Today NECA is going to be revealing toys from the Alien series, and probably a few other surprises. Check out the updates below, and see any available images after the jump.
- #1 In-packaging photos for the Alien 40th Anniversary Series 2 Figures. Includes Parker, Brett, and the Bloody Big chap. Coming to online retailers soon.
- #2 Close up look at packaging photos of Alien 40th Anniversary Series 3. Ash, Kane (with John Hurt’s Likeness), and another Big Chap Alien (Ultimate without accessories).
- #3 Kenner Rhino Alien V2. A repaint based on an old Kenner repaint of their Rhino Alien.
- #4 NECA posted some more Alien 40th Anniversary Series 3 pics. They’ve added a product photos of Ash and Kane.

- #7 Packaging preview for the Terminator 2 Sarah and John Connor 2-Pack.
NECA SDCC 2020 Friday Reveals, Announcements, and Teasers - Alien and More
Alien Series 2 is exclusive to online retailers?
Bbts and those kinds. Series 1 was target and series 3 was Walmart unless it changed.
Kind of lame that the third figure for wave 3 is just a rerelease of the Ultimate Big Chap without the accessories... I was kind of hoping there would be a version of Dallas, Kain or Lambert outside of their spacesuits.
It looks like some of likeness was lost on Bert too... Parker turned out fine I guess, but something seems just slightly off in his face. All in all these are worthy pickups.
Also how cool would it be if NECA announced a version of Ripley in her underwear along with a removable top portion of her spacesuit? I know it’s NEVER going to happen, but I would buy the heck out of that.
I think you'll just have to buy a Phicen figure and make your own for that one.
I'm pissed. After 4 weeks of checking Target there was finally a restocking of the NECA section, but of course not the stuff I'm after. No exclusive Alien 40th wave, no alpha predator, no more ultimate big chap. Instead it was almost entirely restocks/reissues of older ultimate figures. (Which is fine, but where the hell is the new product?)
The only new item they had was the retro cloth style H2 Michael Myers, which unfortunately the two they had looked awful. The paint on the heads were really sloppy, and the coveralls looked a mess.
Now I'm beginning to worry that my nearest Target won't be getting the Alien wave. I only wanted Ripley. If this is how things are going to be at Target, than there's little hope of finding the Walmart wave in the fall.
What's sad is that I'm sure I'll be able to find Brett and Parker at the locally owned store that carries NECA, yet the the big box places have jack shit. Why did the Alien 40th anniversary stuff have to be broken up as exclusives like this?
As for series 1, I had zero trouble finding them all at Target, shockingly. And I have a Walmart near me that I've been finding tons of NECA's early exclusives at (Evil Dead 2 Ash, Chucky), so hopefully I won't have to get buttfucked by scalpers on ebay, because I NEED that Ash.
scarrviper i'm in the same boat, i have 7 Targets in my area, and have been checking them, only 1 target had wave 1 put out, all figures were there except Ripley, who is the only one i wanted. they also said they would be available online, but that hasn't happened, unless i completely missed it, even though i check multiple times daily
I'm betting the weapons are for 7" They Live figures, the revolver and shotgun are straight out of the "chew bubblegum" scene, and the 8" Roddy Piper has a pistol, oddly, so I'm cautiously excited!
How tall is that Rhino Alien? If it is big enough, would love to have it as a "diorama" like battle piece for the 1/12 I own.
So is there any release info on the T2 2-pack? At this point I should just assume it was released and I missed it...
I really like that art work for that Sarah and John Connor set.
I don't know what is hapenning with Neca, overall with the Alien figures. They have a lot of good licences to make excellent figures, but the latest ones don't give good results.
I mean a few months ago the likeness was very accurate, It, Halloween, the latest ones from Friday 13th, and a long etc. But now is weird. A good example are the first wave of Alien 40th Anniversary. The painters? Changes on the company? I don't know, I'm afraid about Ash and Kane and the future figures from other licences. Something to think about.
Here you have the transformation from first presentations, the typical white background previews and the final result on the package.
When will Walmart list wave 3 of the 40th Anniversary Alien figures?
Neca does seem to be slightly abandoning the 7" line of figures for the mego 8 inch. I am okay with it if it helps expands to more characters....like the Killer Klowns or dare I dream....80's sitcoms and low budget horrors. Heck, Knight Rider...
I am all in with the 8" Megos if NECA keeps improving face sculpts.
