TOY NEWS FOR 12/30/2013 - NECA - PROTOTYPE PICS OF UPCOMING FIGURES - PLANET OF THE APES - PACIFIC RIM - ALIEN

NECA has Tweeted out some very cool pictures over the last few days of upcoming product we can expect to see in the new year.

Starting things off is the sculpted prototype for the Cherno Alpha Jeager from Pacific Rim. This will complete the four main Jagers from the film. It's great the both NECA and the fans have supported this line to the point where we can have all these great new figures. I originally feared that We'd only get the original Gypsy Danger and Crimson Typhoon since so many new toy lines don't make it past the first wave or two. But between the film popularity among the collector community and NECA's brilliant work, the line has been insanely popular.


Next up is our first look at a figure from the original Alien film (other than the Alien itself): either Kane or Dallas in the Nostromo space suit. (Expect to definitely see both eventually.)

Of course the big question that still lingers in the air is: will we ever see a Ripley in this line? Hopefully we'll get our answer at Toy Fair in February as NECA has hinted that the possibility of this happening is greater than is was before-- which was absolutely zero.


And finally, we have the first figure being shown in the upcoming Plant of the Apes line!

This one looks like he'll be a Gorilla Warrior of some kind. When this series launches, expect to see figures from both the classic and modern films (but not a Charles Heston "Astronaut Taylor" any time soon.)
