Ok NECA isn't perfect but they produce a consistently high quality product something McFarlane toys and Marvel Legends may want to take note of. With NECA the difference between their best figure and their worst is minimal. The difference between MK Spawn and some of their DC figures is Huge ! Marvel legends have the same issue you can have a 8/10 and 2/10 figure in the same wave. Hips aside this is a stunning piece
Like you said: consistency. That's what describes NECA. If it weren't for the fact that they seem to focus on niche licenses like movie figures and Aliens/Predators/some video game characters, and instead focus on comic characters like Hasbro with ML or Mattel/now McF with DC, (and maybe if they go for the more popular 6" scale with those) they'd be literally unstoppable as the most dominant domestic 6" scale company ever. No contest. Other companies are super lucky NECA seems to stick with these various separate series of figures, instead of producing wave after wave of the same lines of figures. Us collectors would be completely broke just from having to buy every NECA release LOL (I know some already are from the Aliens/Predators figures).
@@arthurchen6464 I have a feeling the licensing costs for Marvel/DC characters is higher than it is for what NECA makes, so you'd probably end up with a higher price point than you see now if they were to get into Marvel/DC.
I like it more when it’s on all fours but it still looks great standing up. Great review. Also mine doesn’t have the hip problem so I guess I just got lucky
Wow this figure is amazing , now i hope neca will make other xenomorph animal like shark xenomorph , wasp xenomorph , chameleon xenomorph , t-rex xenomorph , pteranodon xenomorph ... so many cool ideas for these guys
Liking the new setup, the contrast is very nice. The Rhino Alien figure looks absolutely amazing so even though I mostly collect the movie aliens and movie predators I might have to pick this guy up. He just looks like nothing else!
I just got line in today and I absolutely love it and just a heads up. Some of us still are fans. Including me and I love the comic book add on. It’s not much but it means a lot to me. Either way. Good video
Back in the day the Rhino alien was my first kenner alien along with the (panther? I believe it was). I absolutely adored them, and while I love and have the normal warrior and big chap ultimates, I totally prefer the more animalistic quadrupedal xenos. Haven't collected xenos since the 90s/early 2000s until last week and I'm SO glad I caught several of these NECA figures before they vanished into chinese knockoff territory. Especially Machiko and the original predator figures. Totally plan on building a scene one day featuring those two against a very colorful hive! I remember only being able to find Kenner Aliens at KB toys in the mall since Toys R Us NEVER had the licensed things like this for whatever reason. It blows my mind that Target still stocks Alien figures to this day. I remember how exciting it once was to go between those shelves and finding exactly what I wanted as a smol bean.
I just got one at Walmart for $30. The hips aren't as tight as you'd like, but they're not that bad. If you can find him for less than $35, it's a very nice figure.
This happened to be the only Neca Alien figure at Wal-Mart and I bought it 3 hours ago, opened it and damn, the paint is no joke and the orange is gorgeous. Detail and articulation are impeccable, I hate wild coloured alien figures since even the 90's but somehow, this one works. Best way to put it, this is as if HR Giger and the artists for Doom 2016 got together to make the "perfect organism." Great review, spot on.
I don't collect Aliens or Predators, but I want this damn figure... Plus the lighting setup is great. The light is good, and it isn't the endless white void. Has an interesting look with the slightly grey background.
@@CorporateBillionaire "almost all of them" is exactly what he typed. Missing a handful of your favorites is no need to digress into a "nuh-uh!" state. Maybe he doesn't have them yet or isn't interested in the ones you are so calm your tits.
I love the way it looks standing too but unless you have a stand or want to walk in and find it in the floor in pieces, I'd put this in Rhino stance. This sucker is TOP HEAVY.
I think it works really well because it gives viewer a point of reference in terms of it's size rather than just plain white, and plain white bkg hurts the eyes when the contrast is high, so I like the new setup. Thumbs up
I love original action figures concepts and designs. I normaly buy lot's of originals in the 1/6 scale, being that one of my favorites is a company called Black 13 Park. I also buy from other companies like 3A, Blitzway, Glitch, Devil Toys, Dam, Ouzixiang, Kiddo, etc. I also think this "how would Aliens look while infecting other animals" concept is a good one and that this Rhino version in particular is looking great but I don't own a single one of these so I'm not going to start buying them now. Thanks for the review.
That thing is massive! Puts my Revoltech Xeno to shame. I love weird, out of nowhere figures. I recently snagged a Panda Mony Toys' Alternation El Ray and I love him. Not as articulated as I like, but enough so that you can get some good scenes with him. I also love what NECA did with their sub-line of re-imagined Kenner Xenomorphs. Particularly the Mantis Xeno. I might have to get this guy. Still need a decent Predator though.
I saw this guy at my local Walmart tonight for $30 so it is cheaper depending on where you find him. I wasn't going to get him but this review made me think twice about it. If I come across him again I may have to drop the $ for it. Nice review overall!
Best toy reviewer IMO. You give the most thorough review of articulation compared to any other youtuber. You don’t only point out all the imperfections, but accurately describe the joints used. Some of the big reviewers don’t even use the right joint terminology in their reviews! That just irks me-
I think cool designs existing solely to be an action figure is more than fine; I'll pick such figs up myself! That's companies like Mythic Legions' whole schtick c:
It was part of the kenner toy line from the 90s each Alien and Space Marine came with a mini comic and the Aliens vs Predator dual pack Renegade Predator and Alien Warrior came with one as well.
Love the setup. Looks clean. I also really love this figure and must get it now. Though its gonna be beast for my Mythic Legions to deal with. Might have to get 3 of them...lol
Got this guy pickers Paradise lose no box very pleased with him very huge caught my attention right away the bender seen me looking at him closely and notice gave me half price and said to me I gotta be a collector lol which I am 10$ not bad half price since I’m a collector oh yeah us collectors gotta stick together no way in hell I’m selling this
anthony keep up the good work but i do have a suggestion could you maybe do a ZeroTwo S.H figuarts review edit: only because i think people would consider getting it
Looks like a good figure, I'd get it if it was my thing. Just begining myself. Actually here for a question for anthonyscustom, ive searched your videos and seen no gt sh figuarts, do you think theyd release down the line? Also, do you know if theyd take custom orders? I recall seeing ssj4 goku at a 2014 event. I remember reading..
They do release obscure figures though so it's possible and they have released figures they showed the proto for many years prior. Anything is possible... Other than custom orders.
I think wolverine would win with his healing powers, but the adamantium claws and his complete adamantium skeleton would be destroyed due the acidity of the Aliens!👍🏾✌🏾😁
Hunched over he's still beefy as shit. Also, what the hell happened to the distribution with Drake? Neca's calender said he was supposed to be released along side the Rhino, but I haven't seen him once in any Target and every online store besides Amazon and Ebay has him slated for a later date.
People bitching about this guy in the comments of shartimusprimes last video and shart commented on his review style . Think it’s unfair as least he tells the truth and is no obsessed with selling us crap.
AnthonysCustoms I wasn’t sure how familiar you were with that because a lot of the design decisions on the new figure that you mentioned in your video are lifted straight off of the old toy. Just some trivia, but the “Rhino Alien” concept (and all of the old Kenner toys) was invented for the toy line - the only comics they show up in are the little comics that came with the toys (the same comics come with the Neca remakes).
Imagine a xenomorph with rhino/gorilla feet....I’m sorry but that looks way too dumb and funny 😂. I get you want some of the characteristics of the animals to stand out but the feet not being xenomorph feet just looks weird. i.pinimg.com/originals/1c/8d/df/1c8ddf0504b574fd18f585faec16d5b5.jpg image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/foot-gorilla-260nw-46059418.jpg

Agreed. NECA makes really nice figures for the price point.
The one thing they all have in common is the break just as easily.

I’d like to see a fight between him and the Armored assassin predator. They both seem like the powerhouses of their species.
this one is SUPER tempting.
Looks so beastly.
Just got it at Comic and Toy Collector's Shop. So glad I did.
Looks like the "Alien King" when upright. I keep mine in the upright pose too.
I think the new setup works well, you should keep it this way 👍
Agreed 💯
Just got this figure at my FYE it was on clearance so I paid $2 for it total score
I like it more when it’s on all fours but it still looks great standing up. Great review. Also mine doesn’t have the hip problem so I guess I just got lucky
This is my first Neca Alien and I love it. I'm gonna start collecting this line.
Wow this figure is amazing , now i hope neca will make other xenomorph animal like shark xenomorph , wasp xenomorph , chameleon xenomorph , t-rex xenomorph , pteranodon xenomorph ... so many cool ideas for these guys
I'd definitely buy hammerhead and shark xenomorphs. Never thought of them before but they'd be awesome
The chameleon should have a ridiculously long 2nd mouth
It's crazy because when you see a picture of it you think ok not big but turns out it's huge
That would be terrifying to encounter
Liking the new setup, the contrast is very nice.
The Rhino Alien figure looks absolutely amazing so even though I mostly collect the movie aliens and movie predators I might have to pick this guy up. He just looks like nothing else!

This is the first xenonmorph I’ve gotten, I couldn’t resist the design, it blew me away
I love toys for toy sake. Kenner aliens (and the neca ones who pay homage to them) are some great examples of that.
I've got no attachment to Aliens and Xenomorphs but I'll definitely going to buy this shit! Thanks for the review man.
just picked up one today i love it.
I don't collect Aliens or Predators, but I want this damn figure... Plus the lighting setup is great. The light is good, and it isn't the endless white void. Has an interesting look with the slightly grey background.
This guy is a beast of a figure
I am a Korean fan. I like your video!!
나는 한국 팬입니다 당신의 비디오가 좋습니다
This figure is BAD ASS. nice
Great and cool action figure! Do more alien toys!! And predator.
I review almost all of them already

The bg was never white though... Not for like 10 years anyway.
Team predators for the win!
New set up is clean! Not a huge fan of the Xenomorphs myself but that Rhino is badass! Gonna have to pick him up! Another beautiful video!
Love the new setup you always have made better decisions for your reviews

I think the xenomorph looks better with avian style Double knee legs
Yep, 8/10. I knew it. It's a very good looking figure. Still haven't found it!

Awesome figure.
Setup looks great. As does that figure.
This alien figure looks great I'm definitely adding it to my collection
I like the new setup. Very epic👍
it would look sick on my shelf i bet
New setup looks great
This is a badass toy! Nice review Anthony I enjoy watching your reviews thanks to your channel I’ve bought some figures 🤘🤝

That’s what she said.

To my mind, that is absolutely fine.
I luv this figure. I have him on preorder
Love the setup. Looks clean. I also really love this figure and must get it now. Though its gonna be beast for my Mythic Legions to deal with. Might have to get 3 of them...lol
I saw it in my walmart for like $45 i just got it out of instinct. Holy crap i love this thing. I took pics with my HirM God Gundam. It looks awesome.
Got this guy pickers Paradise lose no box very pleased with him very huge caught my attention right away the bender seen me looking at him closely and notice gave me half price and said to me I gotta be a collector lol which I am 10$ not bad half price since I’m a collector oh yeah us collectors gotta stick together no way in hell I’m selling this
it's great, I love it
Mine is built so loosely it cant stand up on its own - it just flops over 😢
The new lighting is better! So when i wake up at 2 in the morning to watch your new vid, the bright white backrground doesnt sizzle my eyeballs c:
The background wasn't white before though...
I like the new light setup, I don't care what anybody else says
I got this mint in box and it's really bad ass
Picked it up for $29.95 at walmart. Love it because it's a remake of the old toys of random hybrids they made. And it's massive
Just picked this up at target
I love this one
I think you just sold me on this
Repaint coming soon as well.
anthony keep up the good work but i do have a suggestion could you maybe do a ZeroTwo S.H figuarts review
edit: only because i think people would consider getting it
Bro I love that figure
The head on mine broke in less than 5 mins out of the box😖
I love predators to
Awesome video and review bud. That figure would give me bad dreams though
i like the back ground
Could his paint scheme with the unpainted back be a nod to its original 90s toy?
I think it's supposed to be that, and to allow for a glowing effect.
Anthony has literally the same opinion on aliens and predators as I do.
For anyone that doesn't know, this is based off of an old Kenner toy.
I like the idea of Xenomorphs taking different forms. Show me a Xenomorph that gestated in an elephant, I don't care.
@Beau James why stop there? Let's see what a xenomorph tortoise or tiger would look like.
Love you Anthony
No u
@@AnthonysCustoms thanks!
Anthony will u be reviewing the combatants fight for glory gladiator figures. Keep up the good work
3:00 in the morning ceo of dedication 🤝🏾
Not a good idea to drive Ace Ventura's rhino while encountering this.
A new Xeno breed with the genes of a rhino.
Any updates on those rival clans figures? I know there probably aren’t any since not much manufacturing is going on but just wanted to know.

Who would win Anthony? Wolverine, or a hive of standard Xenos 😳
My questions would a chestburster be able to get thru Wolverine's adamantium covered ribs? Is Adamantium acid proof?
I think wolverine would win with his healing powers, but the adamantium claws and his complete adamantium skeleton would be destroyed due the acidity of the Aliens!👍🏾✌🏾😁
@@phantomstranger8959 I'd say so. Not sure though
I love this figure but I also hate the hips they do, my dog alien is my favorite but his legs spin around like crazy he just lays flat most times
I just got this guy he's awesome besides the hips
Is new set-up a trick question?
Hunched over he's still beefy as shit.
Also, what the hell happened to the distribution with Drake? Neca's calender said he was supposed to be released along side the Rhino, but I haven't seen him once in any Target and every online store besides Amazon and Ebay has him slated for a later date.
shipping delays probably. china and whatnot.
hopefully they release a version without the orange
I believe a blue and black one is coming

What other people say about what I do is of little concern to me. I'm happy to continue helping people.
Don't splash shart into here, the setup is new and clean you know
Seeing this thing makes me think NECA will re-release the '87 turtles in toy colors.
Super 7 is doing toy colors so maybe they can’t license wise ?
Are you familiar with the old 90s Kenner toy? It’s a remake of that.
I'm aware. That doesn't mean there wasn't a comic though.

Hey anthony I had a quick question, do you know if the 80 anniversary hulk fist fit the monster venom?
I don't know off hand. No pun intended.
I hus got and joints way 2 weak any suggestions to get them better
I got it at a garage sale for 11 bucks.
Wish they made him bulkier with actual rhinoceros feet.
Same with the Gorilla Ones

Hottoys.... take note. start making 1/6 scale of these kinds of xenophobes and predators... they will sell like hotcakes
