Alien: Covenant is this Summer’s follow up to Prometheus, both prequels to the iconic Alien franchise. The film follows the crew of the space ship Covenant. They are heading to a new world to set up the first off-Earth colony. On their journey, a freak accident awakens the crew, who also discover a rogue transmission from an uncharted planet. The team heads there to find David, the lone survivor of the lost Prometheus expedition from 10 years prior. They soon discover that David has been conducting horrific experiments using the bio-weapon that was created by the Engineers, and with the arrival of the Covenant crew, he has his final components to construct his perfect organisms!
For the film, NECA Toys has released a single assortment of figures based on creatures seen in the movie. These releases include the Neomorph, a creature birthed from humans coming in contact with the native spores used in the black liquid bio-weapon. The Neomorph includes two head sculpts and a smaller baby Neomorph. There is an Covenant Accessory Pack that includes opened and closed Eggs, the newly designed Facehuggers, a toddler Neomorph and a newly designed Chestburster. The final piece to the assortment is the new Xenomorph, which is based on the practical suits used for filming. The practical suits were replaced with a CGI Xenomorph that features a different design from the practical suits used. This will be the lone assortment of figures based on the movie.
Read on to check out 60 photos and our thoughts on the new releases. They come from Toyark sponsor Dorkside Toys.
