NECA Aliens bombshell: Vasquez and Newt!

There's nothing like a great surprise, as NECA toy honcho Randy Falk knows all too well.
After their expectation-surpassing execution of the Aliens toy license, including the coveted Sigourney Weaver likeness, fans continue to be hungry for more.

Well today brought some epic news. We've known for a while that April 26th would be following in the footsteps of May 4th (Star Wars May the Fourth Be With You holiday), with marketing synergy having declared April 26th as Alien day - in honor of Xenomorph planet LV-426 - get it? 4/26?!

This morning saw a massive cross-platform press release that announced the arrival of an avalanche of new Alien(s) inspired product, with nothing more jaw-dropping than the news that beloved toy manufacturer NECA would be releasing not just one, but two show-stopping new additions: Newt and Vasquez! They teased Newt's arrival with this image:


We'd also had confirmation earlier that they already had produced a figure of Lambert from Alien, but just needed to find a release window. No other details or images have made their way out yet, but this is truly amazing, franchise-defining news. I'm betting we'll learn a lot more on... gee, I don't know? April 26th?

Bring it on, NECA - anytime, anywhere!
