Advanced Look at the Alien 40th Anniversary Big Chap Alien Ultimate Figure by NECA – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on January 14, 2020 at 3:54 pm by Joe Moore under Aliens and Predator Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Back in 2014, as part of Aliens Series 2, NECA released their original Big Chap Alien from the original Alien film. Since then, the Aliens line has seen tremendous growth and has become one of NECA’s best selling, and longest running, properties. As the line has grown, advancements have been made in how NECA articulates their Alien Xenomorphs, greatly improving the range of motion of the figures joints. For the 40th anniversary of Alien, they are revisiting the Big Chap Alien with an Ultimate 7″ Scale Figure release. NECA has updated the articulation and paint scheme, and included a newly designed Alien Egg, a new Facehugger, and a Chestburster. The figure is scheduled to begin shipping out to retailers in February.

Our friends at NECA were kind enough to send along a very early sample of the Alien 40th Anniversary Ultimate Big Chap Alien. I have a full photo gallery, and a review of the figure. After the jump, check out my thoughts on the updates, a rundown of what’s new on the figure, and of course my hi-res photo shoot.

Alien ReAction Figures for Alien Day 2019

Posted on April 22, 2019 at 8:30 am by Joe Moore under Aliens and Predator Toy News

This coming Friday is April 26th, and the past few years it has been celebrated at “Alien Day“, as the date of 4/26 is used to commemorate LV-426, the Xenomorph infested planet from Alien and Aliens. Super 7 has released images for two Alien ReAction Figures that will be released on Friday. The figures are inspired by the unused original poster designs by artist Bill Gold. Included are a Xenomorph and Kane. See the details below, and the photos after the jump.

“There are things so terrifying, they only exist in a nightmare… or outer space.”
A week from today (Friday – 4/26) is Alien Day 2019 and to commemorate LV-426, Super7 will be dropping these exclusive Alien ReAction Figures: First is the terrifying Xenomorph in a clear glitter space blue with matching card back. Then there is the doomed Nostromo crew member Kane in a horrifying red with matching card back. Both of these figures and their card art were inspired by the awesome original 1979 Alien concept poster art by Bill Gold that was not used for the film’s release.
These will be available online in the Super7 webstore and at our San Francisco and San Diego stores. See you next Friday!
