Spotted Online – NECA’s Newest Kenner-Inspired Aliens Action Figures
The team at NECA have proven many times that they’re fans of toy history, and now we get a close look at Aliens Series 10 at the NECA website and all of the Kenner excitement as updates to the Gorilla Alien, Queen Facehugger, and Mantis Alien are set for release. I’ve not bought any NECA toys at all this year, but these newest Aliens releases look fantastic and fun! I love that NECA isn’t afraid to explore the past of these lines and bring back some of the old toy concepts.
To celebrate the 10th series in our bestselling Aliens line, we’re dedicating the full series to the classic Kenner Expanded Universe Aliens of the early 1990s!
Series 10 includes the powerful Gorilla Alien, the Queen Facehugger, and Mantis Alien, which is cast in translucent green just like the original. Taking inspiration from those designs, our team has transformed these Kenner classics into modern versions with all of today’s detail and articulation.
Each comes with a reprint of the classic Dark Horse mini-comic that was included with the originals! These highly detailed figures stand over 9″ tall and are fully poseable. The special blister card packaging is an homage to the classic card art as well, featuring custom illustrations and a color palette that ties back to the toy shelves of the early ’90s.
Cool to see they are still producing figures for this toy line. I know I have several of the the early figures. I loved the Power Loader Exoskeleton toy. When did those come out? 90s? 2000s?
