Love the skin color and paint on the new one, but the weird facial expression and eyes really hurt it for me. I just picked up the 35th edition and love it, jealous of the Jonesy carrying case though!
Love your videos and reviews! I agree with mostly everything you said here! They TOTALLY needed to include an alternate head. Hopefully we get another Ripley soon! Just one thing... Sigourney Weaver was 29/30 years old when filming the first Alien movie, not 18! Haha
It’s like they totally forgot to add the wings patch on the chest of the new one. Does the bottom of the box mention Sigourney Weaver? I have the compression suit figure and doesn’t look like her at all compared to this one.
Good choice! they're totally needed! try a full repaint of the ripley if you're not into it. see how it goes. if i ever find more i might do one for a UA-cam video too! see if the sculpt is salvageable
@ROCCOTHEGREAT I didn’t even take the new Ripley out of the tray cause her face is weird. Not off just not as good as my previous one. I just took the tracker and the cat carrier and slide them in beside my existing Ripley. I’ll keep her just in case the 40th ann Ripley becomes desirable one day due to everyone primarily buying her again only for the new accessories and careless folks then losing her etc.
This is a great comparison video. I love the Alien movie too and I'm definitely on the hunt for this figure along with Dallas. I'm not to hyped about the cream color Xenomorph. One other thing I noticed in your comparison is how much better the hair is in the new figure. The face looks way better but I agree with your critiques of it. NECA's movie figures are really getting good and I'm excited to see how they improve even more.
I’ll be replacing the head from the original Ripley with the one coming with the new compression suit. With the helmet on, the old head from the first Ripley will work fine.
Not trying to squash your enthusiasm for NECA products but don't believe any "independent" reviewer concludes that face somehow looks anything like Sigourney Weaver (SW). So this 40th Anniv. issue generally aligns with the previous (35th Anniv. as I recall) jumpsuit Ripley, the face of which also looked pretty much nothing like SW imo. Photo real face print tech. exists for the 40th Anniv. issue however. NECA Alien Resurrection Ripley was a major improvement in terms of likeness to SW but this one unfortunately regresses imo. Too bad as the main character in all the best Alien films deserved much better for a 40th Anniv. issue (along with fans of Alien that collect action figs.) imo. At least NECA got the pkg. & accessories right....so that's something anyway. Thanks for the review & comparisons.
I really like this figure except the face the face looks pretty bad it looked way worse in the prototype photos but it's a little better now but still she looks like a 50 year old lady I'm still looking for that bloody big chap but there's none of them in stores this is killer Joe speaking
Killer Joe just got done destroying over 200 people in the old live chat and over 200 people in Wal-Mart including soccer mom's that bought their husbands figures I wanted. Killer Joe is at 0% anger right now I'm on my nice side but yeah
i did alot of research, she had this face alot fo the movie, i think it just needs a full repaint, something is off and it has to be the paint. i might cast it and try a full repaint

Naaa stop making excuses..that looks nothing like her..the older version is far better..
no i feel you man, i think the sculpt is there , maybe a full repaint is needed
I looks like she had botox on her face on the new figure

the silly face really ruins it. i modded her a bit though and fixed her ! take her eyebrows off with some magic eraser. it helps her sculpt

Ripley is a hard to sculpt...I think they did ok.
SCULPT IS GOOD! paint is off.
I like the old ripley better her face looks more like her...to bad you can't switch heads
honestly your right. new one misses the mark
It’s like they totally forgot to add the wings patch on the chest of the new one.
Does the bottom of the box mention Sigourney Weaver? I have the compression suit figure and doesn’t look like her at all compared to this one.
I feel like no company ever gets her likeness just right sadly
I bought the new Ripley exclusively for the new accessories.
Good choice! they're totally needed! try a full repaint of the ripley if you're not into it. see how it goes. if i ever find more i might do one for a UA-cam video too! see if the sculpt is salvageable

The old Ripley figures looks like Jane Adams! The new Ripley looks like Linda Lovelace!
Hey rocco, I sent you a link on facebook to a space suit ripley..just wanna make sure you got it..and say thank you for all the great videos...peace
the worst thing about being a toy collector when your an adult is when your child says but dad always gets toys
yes
I think we should have a 1/4 scale Ripley from Neca... Just so that big chap have it's rival
So glad I have the old version of Ripley because that new face sculpt is horrendous. Accessories are cool though.
yea im personally happy i kept mine too!

I had the first Alien figure when the movie came out but didn't even see the movie 😄
Goddamn, look at that gigantic alien hangnail at 10:19!! You should do a review on that thing. Oh, yeah, Ripley is alright
hahah you're just like my wife!
Wish I could find one for a decent price
they're up in price now??
Great review, That motion tracker has to be the most detailed sculpt of any scale
right! neca is really doing some great work.
They look like brian may from queen.
I love how you call the sculpt mold lol
Huge fan of ALIEN as well bud, love all the ALIEN content👽
alien rocks!
do you throw away neca boxes?
Great Figures bro 🙌🔥

i understand my dude! nice well thought out comment. i appreciate your comment!
LOL, the old one looks like Sigourney Weaver and is way much better.....You play with your figures ? You do know these are adult collectibles ?...
haha
The review spot is the best reviewer
my name chef
@@ROCCOTHEGREAT my name mickey
The glow in the dark alien seems completely pointless but because its alien i think they got me
yea i agree, could have been something really cool, ill pass on that one but im glad others are happy!
The tracker is too large. It’s almost as large as the Hot Toys version at 1/6 scale.
I really like this figure except the face the face looks pretty bad it looked way worse in the prototype photos but it's a little better now but still she looks like a 50 year old lady I'm still looking for that bloody big chap but there's none of them in stores this is killer Joe speaking
for all our sakes we hope you find what you're looking for. or walmarts in trouble! hahah #killerjoe
Aubrey plaza!🤘
yess! thanks
Killer Joe just got done destroying over 200 people in the old live chat and over 200 people in Wal-Mart including soccer mom's that bought their husbands figures I wanted. Killer Joe is at 0% anger right now I'm on my nice side but yeah
16:44 No 29 years not 18
wow really? she looked great then , thanks for the info!
ROCCOTHEGREAT yeah and great review !
In my opinion predator is cooler, and predator should have won in the first AVP movies. He technically did but then alien got the last laugh.
Good paint, good headsculpt, but his expression is awful :/
i did alot of research, she had this face alot fo the movie, i think it just needs a full repaint, something is off and it has to be the paint. i might cast it and try a full repaint
