I found every single figure EXCEPT Ripley! Lol. I kept thinking ill find her, but nope and now it's looking like they didn't stock her well. If you happen to have not found a use for your double, hollar at me! Lol
Having already purchased the first release years ago is it really worth buying for let's face it just the cat carrier..??!! And that face sculpt..christ..
Both are what they are ...Ripley !. I think besides the fleshtone being better on the new ,dude ,the face -sculpt on the old version is WAY better.That look on her face now reads ' hmm..ohhh !...something is trying to probe the aft deck ! '.
It’s just odd as I have the Alien 3 & Requiem Ripley’s & even the Space Suited Ripley from Alien had a better face sculpt than this oddity...that said I missed the OG release of this figure, have just ordered the Big Chap 40th Ultimate so between that, the accessories and the review clinched my purchasing this update! Cheers. 🙏🏼
Good review! I just bought the 40th prototype alien and last month's deluxe rhino alien (orange/red/amber and black) to start considering what I want in series #1 40th anniversary from now. I already have pre-2020 alien Xenomorphs related to the first movie to add to these 2020 two alien NECA figures I bought (probably a Xenomorph and 2016's NECA alien movie prototype giving me then a pair of the milk-white protos)! This Ripley is alright! I'll plan on buying it but I'm not worried about not being able to buy it in 1-2 months from now when I check my money finances balancing. 😋
@@dHuntersReviews ... Indeed! I will definitely buy her (for cat and crate interesting scene to be cute); Then, for those other two accessories also. Getting back to your wonderful diarama ideas ... 😊 ... I also bought the Ghostbusters Dana Barrett also without buying the other five in Hasbro's Ghostbusters series. The six inch scale to these seven inch scale figures complicates the best Sigourney Weaver face mold by Hasbro since NECA lags Hasbro's 6 inch face technology action figure lines (and also Mattel's 6 inch figures)! I think customs people are going to have to cut that plastic skirt at the gold belt to attach a cloth redesign on that which would otherwise be a most beautiful action figure for a six inch line! It would be matching Hasbro's six inch Alien 4 action figures and before (but they aren't articulated well except for their poses)!
I think its the shading on the jawline and cheeks that throw it off...but i bet placed near the back of a shelf with low to average light from above it would look perfect...
$26.99 I believe. That’s the new standard for a no ultimate Neca figure... =( Goes up and up Ultimates are creeping up too The 2nd series of ultimate lost preorders are $34.99 at some places Yes I’ll keep buying, but I don’t like it.
@@dHuntersReviews I have a few of the original but I want to pick up the new one. I just haven't found any w decent domes not covered in glue/paint splotches...
Sure did not, would love to get one, if you find another please grab it for me I’ve checked like 10 Walmart’s When they put it online I was able to put it in my shopping cart but not finish checking out
Face looks nothing like Sigourney Weaver (SW) & more like a very heavy plastic surgery job gone terrible (to some unknown female in a jumpsuit) imo. Difficult to decide which is worse between this one & Hasbro Dana, buuuuut....I'm gonna go with this one. Significant regression from the Alien Resurrection Ripley which actually somewhat resembled SW. Absolutely no idea how NECA somehow concludes that face was somehow OK to move to production. I mean it's only "The" iconic character of the best films in the series & it's also a 40th Anniversary issue (which should be special & not a miss). A major disappointment & fail by NECA imo & an easy pass for me. At least NECA put some effort into the pkg. & pet carrier, apparently much more than the action figure itself. Should have also updated/reworked the "flat as a pancake" body sculpt too imo. Close race for worst female 7" scale likeness of 2020 between this one & McFarlane Wonder Woman imo.....Sigh.....Mafex please issue the crew from Alien so we can get some decent face likenesses. Thanks for the detail review & comparables.

Well she's the main character in the film. She didn't last long.
Having already purchased the first release years ago is it really worth buying for let's face it just the cat carrier..??!! And that face sculpt..christ..
I'd say no. I'm a little but over the top though.
The cat is worse. The cat carrier and motion tracker are awesome.
I mean... you can’t complain about the face. Her face is very symmetrical and plastic-y smooth.
The original was a little better because of her shocked expression
I forgot to put “Just like in the movies” which makes me sound a little weird. Great.
I just like the newer one a teensy bit better. The original one was a bit “yellow”.
But the expression didn’t come out very well
Both are what they are ...Ripley !. I think besides the fleshtone being better on the new ,dude ,the face -sculpt on the old version is WAY better.That look on her face now reads ' hmm..ohhh !...something is trying to probe the aft deck ! '.
Yeah, it’s a weird expression. Happy to have them both, neither got it quite right
Couldn't figure out how to open the cat carrier at first and broke the handle off...the cats head actually is able to move!
Oh it can? It didn’t seem that way. This is the worst of the three Jonsey figures
It’s just odd as I have the Alien 3 & Requiem Ripley’s & even the Space Suited Ripley from Alien had a better face sculpt than this oddity...that said I missed the OG release of this figure, have just ordered the Big Chap 40th Ultimate so between that, the accessories and the review clinched my purchasing this update! Cheers. 🙏🏼
Yeah it’s odd
It’s because of her weird shocked expression
Wild how much better the original looks, neither really look like her tho ha
A little off, but overall close, but a little off.

She's a nice figure, especially if you don't have the first one. I will be doing a review on my prototype Alien (I have lots) soon.

Yeah, I have that Ripley and Cal, they are pretty bad.

Lol figure you have to hide in the back with bad lighting. But I get what you mean, to make her expression work right in a dark environment.
I feel like if the cat had more articulation, it’d be a bit better.
Yeah, the cat is probably worse than the other releases.
Great review. I picked up the prototype suit one frome target. Cool figure but its a shame it was almost $30. Only ultimates should cost that much
$26.99 I believe. That’s the new standard for a no ultimate Neca figure... =(
Goes up and up
Ultimates are creeping up too
The 2nd series of ultimate lost preorders are $34.99 at some places
Yes I’ll keep buying, but I don’t like it.
@@dHuntersReviews yea. It hurt seeing that $80 checkout price on bbts but they know we just gotta have all the predator 2 lost tribe members.
I already have them, but welcome the ultimates.
@@dHuntersReviews heck yea. Isnt the unmasked guardian a first in this wave? His head markings look sick.
They look great, but the price keeps going up...
I don't get it why they did it with the mouth? Does the prototype looked better with a decent paint app?
Mixed feelings.
I need to pick up a couple of the translucent xenomorph figures
I have 2 if the original and 2 of the new.
@@dHuntersReviews I have a few of the original but I want to pick up the new one. I just haven't found any w decent domes not covered in glue/paint splotches...
My 2 originals are quite different which I thought was cool
One darker
One more transparent
@@dHuntersReviews did you find the Casey Jones 2 pack yet? I grabbed that and an alpha predator this week.
Sure did not, would love to get one, if you find another please grab it for me
I’ve checked like 10 Walmart’s
When they put it online I was able to put it in my shopping cart but not finish checking out
She looks like jessica lange
Maybe a little

I thought the face was ok at best. I don’t like her expression, would rather not have my figure stuck like that at all times.
First
4th!
