The alien Isolation xeno design is the best xeno design ever created in any and all alien universes. A perfect homage to Giger's vision with a tremendous improvement to the legs making it a much quicker and aggressive beast. This is the ideal xeno.
It's a good design but as the figure itself it's so frustrating that it can't stand by itself. Weak legs and the stand included to help is even more useless. I actually prefer the Big Chap.
Yep just got that one , dick head will not stand up , really loose lower leg joints , if joints were stiff and you could actually pose it that be great . I wouldn’t of bought it if I realised what this figure was like
Snake alien is probably the greatest neca figure ever made ( at the moment ) the paint, the sculpt, the posable tail, its long ass tongue! I think it should be shown more love ( movies, games, comics etc )
A must-have on every good movie and game fan shelf! Highly recommended is also a rotating red LED warning light above the shelf, these are relatively cheap on Amazon sometimes 4$ or less, but a few alert lights really enhance the immersion of every gaming room.
Wait, the Predalien can go for $250?! I got that toy as a birthday present when it was new. Up until 2-3 days ago it has been standing on a shelf collecting dust.
I've always preferred the smooth dome to the ridged one. To be honest, I know it's a petty nitpick, but that's the number one thing that irks me about the film Aliens. It forever gave everyone else license to have ridged head aliens when they should be smooth if they came from a human host. It just annoys me when people play fast and loose with established canon and Alien is my favorite film of all time.
Where did you hear this theory? I thought and it was stated by James Cameron he went with the "no dome" because it was to cumbersome to do action scenes in "Aliens"
i can't remember exactly where i read it. but the dome shaped head in the first alien happened because it was a young alien. barely a day old. The aliens we see in aliens (alien2) have ridged head because of the fact that they have lived longer. So they are considered adults.
I just read that as well. James Cameron saw the Alien props and some of the xenomorphs head dome was cracked. He looked at Giger's ridge head design and decided it is functional and he liked the way it looked. Then he came out with the first alien being a younger version of his alien warriors story.
Honestly what makes me upset is that when I was a kid my Dad managed to get me the AVPR Alien Warrior, 4 Variants of Wolf and BOTH variants of the Predalien. I managed to break all my aliens and I damaged most of the predators (still have them but I had to superglue one leg on of the figures) and I’m pretty sure I’m missing some stuff with my predators but the fact that I was so careless with my aliens is just heartbreaking especially now since they’re considered rare. Played with them a bit too rough and because of my past mistakes I’m not holding those beauties in my hand 😭. A shame but now that I’m older I think I’ll be able to start up another AVP collection and treat them with a lot more care. Live and learn.
ufff...that happened to me with marvel action figures....a toy biz vision , a marvel legends VENOM¡...i don`t know..in the actual times i love so much everyting...from virus to nebulas and more..
DUDE...Great video. Outstanding camera work and lighting...I can feast my eyes on all the detail I want to see. Very informative and just an all around good watch for an action figure geek like me. Thank you.
I like the traditional aliens but I have to say I'm very happy to see mantis alien, and it's my favorite alien they've made. It's so unique and breaks away from the norm. Same goes for clan leader predator. It's nice to see something more than just the same ol predator with a lot of reuse of armor.
LOL I dunno why, but when you said the Predalien had a crippled look and then started to articulate him I started cracking up at how funny he looked! Nice list! :)
I was expecting big chap to be way higher on the list cuz he was the very first alien to be seen on the big screen and without him there would be no queen xenomorph and no predalien and so on he started the whole alien franchise
Im waiting for Neca to release a new Predalien with the new articulation! It will likely kill the value of the old one but thats the way it goes i guess...great list!
Raymond Ayala you must have only seen the films once off hand then. The series has a ton of great lines from a bunch of talented actors and you pick the tired old Bill Paxton line?
My favourite alien is the resurrection warrior. I like the paint and the design, and the water scene makes me like the design even more. My second favourite is the predalien. Just a really cool design, and has a tremendous amount of shelf presence. My third favourite is the big chap (series 2), i love the classic design and think it looks sick.
Cool tidbit about the Predalien. The dreads were made from leftover infant dog alien tails from when the fx guys did Alien 3. :-) I still have both that one and the closed mouth version, which I just adore. But the closed mouth one fell over one day, and the head and left arm popped off. Had to glue the arm in, but even though the head seems to be an undamaged ball joint, I've never been able to get it to stay on securely. Hoping they rerelease it with better articulation.
Couldn't agree more. Under the proper lighting, they can look very lifelike and quite terrifying. The translucent dome makes all the difference. Always preferred it to the darker types of domes.
I wish that my collection of aliens were like yours,yours look pretty cool and I hope I could get some more aliens, I hope they make a more articulated predalien.
You might be able to find it on Ebay still. It didn't seem SUPER popular being from a video game and not a movie. Be prepared to like superglue joints or something I had to on my the legs are so damn weak it won't stand on it's own.
I have the Predalien figure but one of the arm pegs broke off so I had to super glue it in place to display it. It sucks, but I'm just glad I still have it from when I was like 11 or 12 years old. At one point I had 2 of them but I lost the second. Also still have my Wolf Predator but he is missing the accesories and one finger but It is harldly noticible in the way I display him.
haha, "the lighting started to die" when u brought the predalien figure into the camera. lol, the predalien has a cures of dark lighting so u can't see the god dam thing in the movie. great video and great choices as well as amazing figures
I remember I had an alien figure where you could take off the top of his head and there was a button on the back of its head so you could shoot out the tongue
I have thr NECA queen and while I love it, the skull mount doesn't slide forward, the head doesn't rotate down properly and the back spikes don't fit into their sockets properly. I still love it but damn y'know.
I couldn't get rid of my AVR figures fast enough. I traded them for Lost Predators. The warrior was ok but the Predalien's head kept coming off and I could only refer to it as the skateboarding Alien because of the pose. I also have the two pack big chap and he broke in half a year after I opened him,and I was just trying to pose him. But when I got the brown Alien I loved it so much I got 2of him. I didnt get the blue one because money was tight but I got two black Warriors,and they're my absolute favorite of that sculpt. Same with the Kenner two pack Alien.
you understand something a LOT of figure review channels don't (you know to use an actual good quality camera)! enjoying the content dude hopefully my shelves should be looking like yours in a months time
From The Shelves was just saying it's good to see a figure review channel use a good camera xD and that I hope my shelves are filled with neca figures as much as yours soon!
KARMA Well I assure you lower budget reviewers like me with my laptop camera are doing the best we can to give people reviews they will like despite our drawbacks.
actually the Dog Alien and Runners arent the same thing, Runners werent a thing until the videogame AVP2 in 2001, while color and texture wise they resembled the dog alien, their lore and background has no relation, so it was most likely used as a reference/nod to Alien 3
My top three are: Alien Warrior (Aliens), Alien (Isolation) and Dog (Alien 3). Queen isn`t my best choice as design isn`t compact and bulky but rather very skinny (with too large head).
I loved avpr too not sure why all the hate.great list I got them all and the predators. I keep mine all in the boxes so I usually have no idea on the articulation theses guys have. Love the Vids man keep them up.
I got the Kenner Alien for Christmas '79. I kept it in the box and stashed it in my parents attic when I joined the Army in '90. My mom threw it away. I threw up when I found out.
I like the way he calls the back of the skull as phallic looking “You know the parasitic horror icon with the acidic blood and armour plating that gave everyone nightmares back in the day?, yea dudes head looks like a weenier”
ohh, wait, so the xenomorph is designed like this on purpose?, you know I’ve been fan for ages but, ok now I’m thinking of their reproductive cycles and thinking less parasitic wasp and more,.. well, you get the idea Also I’m just being sarcastic as usual, sorry if I sounded super clinical or something
cant believe you say the predaliens are hundreds of dollers and hard to get hold of ive got 4 two closed and two open jaw versions and ive butcherd at least six to make customs but love the dog alien best the mcfarlane one is cool too

The Virgin Isolation vs the Big CHAD
Yep just got that one , dick head will not stand up , really loose lower leg joints , if joints were stiff and you could actually pose it that be great . I wouldn’t of bought it if I realised what this figure was like
I'm a big fan of the alien isolation feet the big chaps feet looked to human and fake so isolation version won me over
Digitigrade legs Xenos has the best designs. Esp Isolation and Defiance
Snake alien is probably the greatest neca figure ever made ( at the moment ) the paint, the sculpt, the posable tail, its long ass tongue!
I think it should be shown more love ( movies, games, comics etc )
I think all of the Kenner Aliens and Predators deserve an appearance in a show or movie. Maybe in an AVP 3?
how ironic that the lighting got bad as soon as the predalien showed up
Mrtyphoonmonkey hahaha I catch your drift
A cool design was wasted.
i love this
His light was dying
This comment needs many, many more likes hahaha.

@@arandomvideoman3848 no
I would keep as any collector who collect figures knows they go up in price the older they become
@@goodxd701it’s not even yours to decide
9:23 “Here’s that ridge I was taking about earlier that does remove” of falls off lmao 😆
imagine if we get NECA to design they're own theory aliens like wave 20 we get like different aliens designed with some awesome animals.
That exists its called kenner
TheCyberPunkDud01 kenner's dead though..
Well the new Hadley's Hope Alien is a prototype.
Louis Token ehhh... played out. Like all through the 90’s.
I just love how xenomorphs look so biomechanical like perfect living weapons
Me Gusto that is what they are... or what they were suppose to be.

But the enjoyment you had as a kid, practically pays for the figures itself.
ufff...that happened to me with marvel action figures....a toy biz vision , a marvel legends VENOM¡...i don`t know..in the actual times i love so much everyting...from virus to nebulas and more..
Great Top 10 list! I agree with all of your choices. The Queen is my favorite figure of all time!
Nicholas Hostetter thanks buddy! all hail the (Queen)
Nicholas Hostetter she is my favorite to
great minds think alike PRIME
From The Shelves good point
Nicholas Hostetter taco bell
I like the drones/warriors the Grid, Specimen Six(I think that S6 wad customized), The predalien Chet, the runner the Dragon

Alien Big Chap Ultimate ver.3 40th Anniversary is my Alien number 1 of NECA Aliens License !
Its a Classic !
Do you like the one with the milkier dome or clear one? I like the dome milkier.

Awesome top 10 list plus I agree with you the avpr warrior alien (#4) looks amazing
Amazing list and figures! Nice work.
My faves are the warrior alien, big chap, grid, AvP warrior, dog and Queen. Oh and the AvP:R warrior is really good for the time it came out too.
Interesting list! Thank you for this video!
My first alien figure was the classic big chap at #9 but the one I had was a bit wider and the head was more milky like alien isolation
I just found this channel and its awesome !
Still waiting for Predalien remake.
Im waiting for Neca to release a new Predalien with the new articulation! It will likely kill the value of the old one but thats the way it goes i guess...great list!
I love that little Terminator display!
dog alien is still my favorite!
Wow wow excellent video huge fan of the alien movies
game over man!!!, love that line😆
Raymond Ayala glad to see people stay all the way until the end for the tag lines 🤘🤘👍👍
Raymond Ayala you must have only seen the films once off hand then. The series has a ton of great lines from a bunch of talented actors and you pick the tired old Bill Paxton line?
@@mikeydudek2885 shut up. It's a fantastic line. It's a classic. Everyone watch out for this edgy guy... btw, Paxton is the fucking man

And the one of colonial marines, the one who spites acid???
The list was awesome
Great video the pred alien is my favourite
damn, i never heard or saw that mantis alien, it looks so cool...
Great video I have the alien isolation xeno
Btw ur intro music is awesome
I love neca aliens! I wish I wasn’t so afraid to pose them. Only had one break though, at the hip.
WOW
beautiful super art
Thanks
Great list. Love your vids!
EarthsGeomancer thanks Geomancer!
Mantis Alien... I want it. Love the bug style and green color.
love this hobby started when I was 7 with the 2nd hand kanner ones

galmorzu yeah, that is the plan for NECA I'm assuming. would love to have Wolf and Predalien with updated articulation👍
BIG CHAP AND THE ISOLATION ALIENS ARE PERFECT. THAT right there is how u make an alien figure.
Revolutionary Cinema Productions I know Isolation Alien FTW

19:20 lol he breaks the predalien's arm XD
I love your vids by the way
Thanks, buddy! I appreciate it
Great video mate
thanks buddy
Love it👍🤘
I never saw the isolation xenomorph at any stores and this video just reminded me that it existed.
Also any one know websites that still sell it for original retail price
You might be able to find it on Ebay still. It didn't seem SUPER popular being from a video game and not a movie. Be prepared to like superglue joints or something I had to on my the legs are so damn weak it won't stand on it's own.
Lord of the coleslaws no idea. best bet is to try ebay at this point
From The Shelves this is so cool, you should do a video showing your intire alien collection, and btw I just subscribed! :D
Antisepticeye thanks! I appreciate it🖒
if they re-release the predalien i hope they give it more pose-ability and points of articulation

Aliens are so cool now but scary
These are sick and All these figures will be on my list but in a different order but great job and a like
Incredible List found me Some Absolute Wants.!! Thanks Much.!!
HALF SHELL HEROES - CHRIS glad I could help brother!
Nice stuff they made a deacon as well have to buy them all
My fav is all of them
great figures! I have only the Red Alien queen!!
I picked up both versions of the predalien, the closed mouth version is a different colour to the open mouth one, More green.
another good video!
Riggleboy thanks brother!
haha, "the lighting started to die" when u brought the predalien figure into the camera. lol, the predalien has a cures of dark lighting so u can't see the god dam thing in the movie. great video and great choices as well as amazing figures
Your collection is so good .
Razor claws from the arcade game is my favourite
The spine at the back of the neck falls when they (xenomorphs)get older letting the head move in more ways making it a lot better of a hunter
It, along with the smooth dome, was removed in aliens to give the stunt performers more mobility and and safety while acting out their scenes
You super glued the attack jaw into the queen. You can’t be more reckless than that.
I'm still waiting for a new neca Predalien. It's my favorite variant of xenomorph.
The predalien has many traits of the predator including the dreadlocks you said it was facehugger tails
I have the alien queen 1st series, she came with eggs and nest area scene, is this one i have still out there??? Thanks
I agree I love avpr too
It's so cool
Thats awesome figure of neca xenomorph
my top is now the new 7 inch neomorph, it's so beautiful.
Nice seeing Chet at number 1
The BluRay shelf of every true cineast needs some Star Trek and NECA Alien/Predator/Ripley stuff to enhance all these great disk steelbooks! ;)
I loved this top ten! Great list, by any chance do you have the albino concept figure for aliens?
MikeSkitz oh yeah, have every Alien and Predator figure every released by NECA 👍 thanks for watching my friend
the dome 2nd alein figure is more alien movie #1 with the clear type dome u can see a resemblances to hume skull aswell
I remember I had an alien figure where you could take off the top of his head and there was a button on the back of its head so you could shoot out the tongue
My current favorite is the albino drone
I love neca.
I can see a Dark Horse comics theme going on behind you, thats cool!
Do you have Robocop figures in your collection also?
I have thr NECA queen and while I love it, the skull mount doesn't slide forward, the head doesn't rotate down properly and the back spikes don't fit into their sockets properly. I still love it but damn y'know.

you understand something a LOT of figure review channels don't (you know to use an actual good quality camera)! enjoying the content dude hopefully my shelves should be looking like yours in a months time
KARMA wait what? lol I don't quite understand what you are saying bud. what is this in reference too?

The next video do you print Alien versus predator but on the alien side there’s going to be the monkey alien
Big Chap 35th anniversary deserves one of the first positions in that list
actually the Dog Alien and Runners arent the same thing, Runners werent a thing until the videogame AVP2 in 2001, while color and texture wise they resembled the dog alien, their lore and background has no relation, so it was most likely used as a reference/nod to Alien 3
i love the grid alien
My top three are: Alien Warrior (Aliens), Alien (Isolation) and Dog (Alien 3). Queen isn`t my best choice as design isn`t compact and bulky but rather very skinny (with too large head).
Yeah but the queen isn't a bulky alien tho
What about the manits alien?
I loved avpr too not sure why all the hate.great list I got them all and the predators. I keep mine all in the boxes so I usually have no idea on the articulation theses guys have. Love the Vids man keep them up.
Predator1987X thanks buddy! I appreciate it
Predator1987X because it has shit acting,shit cinematography and it has a generic horror film story
I can't believe I gave away my predalien figure when I was young, I always thought it was pretty common 😐
Can anyone tell me which alien figures are above 7 inches? I know some of them are a little bigger or a little taller even though it's the same scale.
Number 10 was my favourite
I got the Kenner Alien for Christmas '79. I kept it in the box and stashed it in my parents attic when I joined the Army in '90. My mom threw it away. I threw up when I found out.
I like the way he calls the back of the skull as phallic looking
“You know the parasitic horror icon with the acidic blood and armour plating that gave everyone nightmares back in the day?, yea dudes head looks like a weenier”
HR Giger himself called the Alien design "Phallic". It was purposed design to be extremely sexual in nature. Just FYI there smart guy.
ohh, wait, so the xenomorph is designed like this on purpose?, you know I’ve been fan for ages but, ok now I’m thinking of their reproductive cycles and thinking less parasitic wasp and more,.. well, you get the idea
Also I’m just being sarcastic as usual, sorry if I sounded super clinical or something
@@ryaquaza3offical all good brother lol👍🤘
man i wish i picked up the standerd alien (#10) i cant now cuz its so expensive
My personal favorite is the big chap.
cant believe you say the predaliens are hundreds of dollers and hard to get hold of ive got 4 two closed and two open jaw versions and ive butcherd at least six to make customs but love the dog alien best the mcfarlane one is cool too
