News – NECA Reveals Alien 35th Anniversary Nostromo Spacesuit Figure

Never let it be said that NECA isn’t going all out on their Alien and Aliens figures. To help celebrate the 35th anniversary of the 1979 film Alien, NECA is releasing an action figure of one of the Nostromo crew inside a spacesuit.

This seems to be a good way to get some figures from the original Alien movie though, since Sigourney Weaver won’t allow her likeness used for a new Ripley figure.
