NECA unveil their official Alien: Covenant figure for Alien Day!
By ChrisAlien: Romulus 2 NewsLeave a CommentPublished: April 26, 2017

NECA have just unveiled their official Alien: Covenant Alien action figure! Modeled after the film's antagonistic Xeno/Protomorph Alien, this figure mimics a lot of the other characteristics we've seen with previous NECA Alien figures. However, this one seems to be less skeletal and more muscular / fleshy looking, as many have pointed out since its debut in Covenant's trailers. This Alien figure also has blue vein-like detailing all over its body and the dorsal tubes, originally thought to be used for resin secretion (for hive building) seem to be more articulated than previous incarnations of the Xenomorph. Could these tubes have new purpose in Alien: Covenant? In this image they appear straight upwards while in the trailer, they fan out - almost like wings.

The cranium features a very similar human-like skull detailing behind the crest. Check it out:

The Alien: Romulus sequel is currently in development and cameras are set to roll by October, 2025! Be sure to bookmark the Alien: Romulus 2 Info Page for an up-to-date account of all available information, production updates and important details!

In addition to the upcoming Alien: Romulus sequel, we have the Alien: Earth TV series from Noah Hawley now streaming and a rumoured Alien vs. Predator reboot in the works as well!

The tubes on it's back seem way longer than in the the trailer. Am I missing something?

I was checking out another picture of the NECA Proto/Xenomorph yesterday and I really like how it's feet look more like elongated human feet and less animalistic like the feet of the Dog Alien or the Xeno from Alien Isolation. And it's hands are more human-like than ever, but it still has six fingers. Very cool design choice in my opinion.

It would be cool to see the carapace taken/ripped off of one in the movie to show the "skull" underneath.  I think many "regular" people (not us fanatics) do not even know that there is a skull underneath and would blow them away.

Normally I don't collect NECA figures anymore. But I may make an exception for this one.
