Breathe, bro...breathe! ha-ha I love how you waft the paint-fumes when you opened the box like a true toy-connoisseur! Classic. I can't wait to get mine.
Thanks for showing & mentioning the diorama interior in the box. Would come in handy for me when I get it. I'm awfully tempted to get it now, but have to wait a few days.
She's beautiful!! Im not gonna knock McFarlane toys version because its awesome & has a great base & diorama with it. Im sold tho. Ive got all of the Space Marines as well as Bishop,Newt & Ripley.I even have the (SDCC-2017)Of James Cameron in Marines gear. I think its about time Neca releases the rest of the Marines!! Great Review!!!
Mine is messed up in a couple ways too. I can't get the mouth peice to stay in the mouth, neck can barely be moved, spines ball joint is much smaller than the insert holes. Aside from that it's pretty good
My only criticism just from looking at it I have to wait till Christmas to open mine, is the tail does not seem long enough compared to the rest of the queens body it needs at least two more inches added to do it justice!!!!!
it's long enough I just curled it up in the review to fit it all in frame. Trust me the tail is pretty much the exact same length as her body so it doubles her size. Once you open it up and get the tail straightened out you'll be amazed! :)
Nice review and it looks awsome, but is there any way to pose it without the stand or is it way too front heavy? And besides are the hips very loose anyway on the Queen?
Pretty much 90% of the weight is from the waist up so she is far to heavy to stand without the stand. you MIGHT can get it in the right pose and balance with her tail but I really don't recommend it simply because she's SO heavy at the front.
Great review! Haha I Just got mine today and reviewed it too already! By the way, I think the dorsal spines on the back go from longest to shortest, rather than shortest to longest.
How's the paint scheme? I see some people have ones that are lighter and some seem darker, is that just the lighting? I ordered her and I'm worried she's going to look corny...
Could be lighting yes. I know my lighting for this video was not optimal, but this thing is so massive I didn't really have a choice. I will say she has more black on her with blue highlights and while it's a light blue in hand it's darker and looks very nice.
Yes. I picked mine up in store at my local fye. Some people have found it inside ToysRUs as well. Most online retailers are not shipping until after the holidays so if you want it before then hit up your local TRU or fye.
Royal Roy Each spike has the same size ball peg. They should all go in any slot no problem, and they do. Try it for yourself if you like. I just put mine in that way to get out of the way of the queen's articulation.
This is awesome and bad ass...but still deciding to get his one...since I already have 2 of the McFarlane large Alien Queens. You should check out my 'Aliens' diorama display with all my xenomrophs and comment! Neca should really make 'Vazques and Drake' marine figures...i would only WISH they made the Aliens 'Mobile armor tank' vehicle to go with these figures..its an awesome line and hope they make more figures..faster!
Unfortunately I doubt we're getting any more marines. NECA doesn't have the likeness rights to anyone else. Although I know someone who is in direct contact with a few of the actors from the movies and I've asked them to fish the idea around to some of them. I doubt anything will happen but all the trouble will be worth it if we get at least one smartgunner... that's all I want. lol But Yeah this figure blows the McFarlane one out of the water it's twice as big and 10x more detailed and articulated. totally worth picking up! :)
ClickingFenix E If that's the case that were 'Not' going to get any more marines...Neca can bite me! I mean...they make a shit load of Xenomorphs and tease us with only 2 real marines...the Craig Windrex figure was kinda of a joke...he even came with a flame thrower that he can't even hold with his 2 hands..that was the one figure I have posed dead on the floor like he's being eaten up by the aliens. I'd give anything for a marine with a 'Smartgun'...that shits iconic..how could they not make that already?? Just give us a different female head sculpt for as a Vazquez if they cant get the rights...and one for Drake...and a black guy for Sgt Apone and my collection would be complete! After I heard they got the rights to Signorney and Lance Henrickson...I said to myself...awesome...but does this mean the line will end after the Sigorney figure comes out? I hope not because they got a cash making cow in their hands!
It's out of their hand dude. Ever wondered why the kane figure has the face hugger on his face? Because they could cheat it and not have to deal with the actor. The sad truth is most of these actors don't want to be an action figure, they think it's silly and pointless. Trust me I know the feeling but it ain't NECA's fault man. It's literally out of their hands and only up to the actors. Sadly one that's REALLY against it is Jeanette Goldstein, the actress who play Vasquez. She won't have anything to do with the franchise anymore. The best we can get is MAYBE a Drake, and IF we're lucky an Apone. A Frost figure is totally possible though, but I don't think NECA wants to do him, at least not yet. That guy would jump on the chance to be a figure though, he LOVES the fans and the franchise. And you do know the story behind the Windrix figure right? I think it's anything but a joke. Kyle Windrix is a sculptor a NECA, he does pretty much all the ALIEN stuff. He had a Brother Craig who sadly passed away last year from stomach cancer, it wasn't pretty. That figure immortalized his brother Craig in Action Figure form in his and Kyle's favorite franchise. They had to go through so much legal tape just to get the figure made, and honestly I think that's such a touching story. Hopefully now you won't see it as a joke... because it's not...
Just got mine today! Dayum her legs, arms, body, head, EVERYTHING is HUGE on this figure! and it's hard to pose her. the short rod is almost too short. Unfortunately the inner jaw doesn't really fit in the mouth to well. it got a bit warped.. lol When I got the shipping box it smelled like old socks.. and still does.. XD
i like the review and i wish i had the money to buy it and do a review for it and im sad i dont have it and i cry every time i see a video about this neca queen and i wish i had it so much
That's the best comment ever! That's nothing else will top that, closing the channel down it's all downhill from here. XD Also great deal! I know most stuff from NECA is usually dollar for pound and overpriced when compared tot eh exchange rates so I say anything under 100 pounds is a steal for this figure!
ClickingFenix E Hahaha thanks man! Loved the video too, I like it when people use humour in reviews, makes it so much more interesting :) I know! It's the cheapest I could find it, most were going for over £150 :O
I'm just one of those jovial fat guys who likes to make people laugh, always have been. :) I try to bring it into all my videos. I had to pay $120 for mine which is $20 overpriced but well worth it. Hell I'd of paid $150 for it and STILL not blinked. it's THAT good.
Hahahaha well I very much enjoy your videos :) subbed :D Its that good? wow, well Im glad I got it then, I'm in the UK and they're really hard to find haha

Breathe, bro...breathe! ha-ha I love how you waft the paint-fumes when you opened the box like a true toy-connoisseur! Classic. I can't wait to get mine.
Opening a NECA figure is like fine wine, you gotta savor it. lol No other figures smell like they do.
Used this video to help me pack mine away. I totally didn’t notice the hole in the packaging for the tail lol
Thanks for showing & mentioning the diorama interior in the box. Would come in handy for me when I get it. I'm awfully tempted to get it now, but have to wait a few days.
It's a really nice insert. It's a little glossy so I MIGHT mess with some photos but you can make it work no problem. :) I only wish it was bigger!
Great review man! I can actually see the figure. I love your enthusiasm I'm glad im not alone.
She's beautiful!! Im not gonna knock McFarlane toys version because its awesome & has a great base & diorama with it. Im sold tho.

Nice video ,I am getting one of these
These alien queen and empress figures are expensive I might not be able to get one jk getting one tommorow sorry I was late
The hip joint is just turned on one side. Try heating and rotate.
do they actually move there I've been trying for weeks same with the shoulders
Haha love the excitement an the joy of collecting haha. Great review an a thumbs up man! I will now purchase my own on your recommendation
U SIR ARE AWESOME!
Thanks! :) Means a lot!
No problem :D, thank you lol
Nice review and it looks awsome, but is there any way to pose it without the stand or is it way too front heavy? And besides are the hips very loose anyway on the Queen?
Pretty much 90% of the weight is from the waist up so she is far to heavy to stand without the stand. you MIGHT can get it in the right pose and balance with her tail but I really don't recommend it simply because she's SO heavy at the front.
what the price alien queen ?
Where did you get it I would love to buy it
FYE. But no it's more likely to find it online.
Oh btw you put the spikes on its back the wrong way its actually the biggest on the top to the smallest on the bottem.
Great review! Haha I Just got mine today and reviewed it too already! By the way, I think the dorsal spines on the back go from longest to shortest, rather than shortest to longest.
I did I that way because it makes more sense to get out of the way of the articulation. Way more clearance for the head.
ClickingFenix E Good point. It does make more sense that way.
Nicholas Hostetter It's personal preference really. Either way works. I mean sure only one is screen accurate but doesn't really matter in the end. :)
I was going to get this. Now I realise it won't ever fit in my display cabinet.
You can make it fit probably. It's got the secondary shorter stand and you can hunch her down.
How's the paint scheme? I see some people have ones that are lighter and some seem darker, is that just the lighting? I ordered her and I'm worried she's going to look corny...
Could be lighting yes. I know my lighting for this video was not optimal, but this thing is so massive I didn't really have a choice. I will say she has more black on her with blue highlights and while it's a light blue in hand it's darker and looks very nice.
Awesome review!
is this figure in stores yet ?
Yes. I picked mine up in store at my local fye. Some people have found it inside ToysRUs as well. Most online retailers are not shipping until after the holidays so if you want it before then hit up your local TRU or fye.
Far too beautiful Queen bitch. I ordered since day 1. I worried have no room for her...
She's pretty BIG! But you should be able to scrunch her down into a tighter pose and squeeze her in. Remember she fit in an elevator In the movie! ;)
ClickingFenix Ent lol
I have the same issue with the legs dont worry
dunno why,still not sure to buy any NECA figure until now ;/
Why not? I'm curios as to why you've held off?
How heavy is this figure?
I haven't weight it and I'm just guessing here, but I'd say between 3-5 pounds.
Ohhh god, She's such an awesome creation that NECA has.. created! this was a awesome review! I can't wait to get her and do my own review too! :D
MrMomobot
g
Great review. I would buy this but sadly I don't have the money or the space :(
This is one of those pieces I'd push you to make the space and save up for. lol Such a beautiful piece.
+ClickingFenix Ent indeed it is
Probably the reason why its pain to put the queens spikes on is because they are facing the wrong way :-)
Royal Roy Each spike has the same size ball peg. They should all go in any slot no problem, and they do. Try it for yourself if you like. I just put mine in that way to get out of the way of the queen's articulation.
beatiful neca! congrats. thanks for the video
my english sucks
You're welcome and thanks for the comment!

I just think from looking at the movie of the Queen her tail is longer
Just got mine today! Dayum her legs, arms, body, head, EVERYTHING is HUGE on this figure! and it's hard to pose her. the short rod is almost too short. Unfortunately the inner jaw doesn't really fit in the mouth to well. it got a bit warped.. lol When I got the shipping box it smelled like old socks.. and still does.. XD
Maybe that was the ammonia smell I was smelling. Whatever it was it was FUNKY!
i like the review and i wish i had the money to buy it and do a review for it and im sad i dont have it and i cry every time i see a video about this neca queen and i wish i had it so much

hermosa reina ;w; Greetings from argentina
Well hello there! :) Thanks for commenting!
:D nice !
Alien queen's awesome
Fuck yeh Clicking Fenix
OMFG
His video s rock
Thank you
took mine back for a refund. After a month the cheap ass joints in the legs got to weak to hold the figure up,,so she started doing the splits...
Were you using the provided stand? I haven't heard of that issue, and mine is stills standing fine after nearly 4 months.
So lucky
whats with u always smelling your toys???
Jason Hable i think you REAL question good sir is... YOU DON'T???
