NECA re-issues the Ultra-Deluxe Xenomorph Queen from the Alien franchise

The Xenomorph Queen from NECA is back!

Just in time for Mothers Day, the fan-favorite Xenomorph Queen from the film Aliens, has made it’s return to the market. Originally released in 1999 this 15″ X 30″ 7-inch scale figure with 30 points of articulation has returned to popular retailers with a new pre-order window and is being sold for $124.99 over on our affiliate Entertainment Earth.

When does it ship?

Scheduled for release October 2023, this is a great time to pick up this figure if you are new to collecting or missed out in the past.

We’ve heard from several friends in the community over the last week who say they have been patiently waiting for this moment for a few years now and are super excited to finally get there chance to buy this figure.

DONT GET SCAMMED, shop around!

Even today as I write this article, its been just over a week since the first announcement of the re-issue, and the eBay re-sellers haven’t budged an inch on their prices on past releases. Some figures are being sold for upwards of $500 and none were lower than $267 that we could find. Even with the hefty markup on the figure, there is also no guarantee you wont be paying outrageously marked up shipping rates.

Luckily for all of us, NECA has taken the time to dust off the old molds, printed up some fresh boxes and started the process to bring this figure back, making it affordable and accessible for more of us in the collecting community.

What’s in the box?

This particular xenomorph Queen boasts 30 points of articulation – including a spectacular poseable tail, 2 interchangeable inner mouths, and a display stand. She is 15-inches tall and 30-inches long, making her completely in scale with the Alien 7-inch action figure line from NECA, some of which can be found here at our affiliate link.

Our observations and take-away:

From what we’ve been able to gather so far, there are no significant changes to the figure or packaging and looks to be a standard re-issue. However, this isn’t the first re-issue of the figure since it was first launched nearly 25 years ago. There have been several re-issues as well as re-branded repaints before such as the Alien Resurrection, or Aliens Genocide versions that have been released throughout the years.

Our Take

Although this line has been labeled as “Wave 1,” it remains to be seen if Super7 will release additional figures and accessories in the future. Despite criticism regarding the figures’ price point, they do offer a premium level of detail and an abundance of accessories, making them worth the cost in comparison to other toys in 2023. Whether the nostalgia factor will drive sales or not remains to be seen, but fans of the classic cartoon are excited to add these figures to their collection.

Here at Toy News Daily, we’re big fans of Super7 and can’t wait to get our hands on these throwback characters from our childhood. As lovers of all things plastic and nostalgia, we can’t help but feel excited for this new toy line.
