This is a cool figure. I can imagine posing this figure with the 1968 Planet of the Apes figures and make it like the xenomorph came out of one of the gorilla soldiers.
I remember buying the Kenner 90s original with some cask I got for my birthday, and love these NECA versions. Although... I think I prefer the metallic blue paint job of the original, which really gave the sculpt depth. Can't help but feel that if Neca had gone metallic blue this would have made the figure even more impressive.
My god NECA incorporated the little levers on the back that gave the Kenner Alien it's 'attack motion' (those two 'exhaust ports' on the back here). Amazing. Cant wait to pick it up. Had this (and the Mantis) as a kid.
I'd like to point out as a cool feature, the "bio-ports" I think you called them, are actually sculpted versions of what used to be the action-feature on the Kenner version. The Kenner Alien would open and close it's arms to grab other figures. Great review, never seen any of yours before but I'll be sure to subscribe!
Man, this thing is incredible. They knocked it out of the park. I wish they could have widened the torso and shortened the legs, but I know that would have cost more in tooling so they reused as much as they could. Still, they did an amazing job as-is. I just need to see what they do with that Bull Alien now!
galmorzu yes it is! I want the snake and cougar! they are all great. maybe even the queen. power suit or the Kenner king alien in the future? one can hope...
There was some word that Neca is possibly going to do this unreleased Kenner Marine figure that's wearing some kind of Predator power armor akin to ATAX and the alien armor, as he's referenced in the Spiked Tail Pred bio. Looks like Neca may be in the Kenner retro game for the long haul.
Test subject xenomorph:so I u r going to put gorilla DNA into me? Is that even safe? Queen xenomorp.:shut up I know what I'm doing. **4hours later we have the gorilla xenomorph. He soon eats a banana and dies from the first human food it has eaten.**
SamuRaptor nope. I'm from Baltimore Maryland (usa) and they have them. they might not be a all retailers yet. I got mine online right from neca. check necas ebay and Amazon stores. they will have them
George Feldkamp Aliens: Wild planet What if those guys that made the aliens created hybrids between animals on our planet and xenomorphs creating these kind of animal aliens It was like a Jurassic park for these creatures but like Jurassic park It went wrong.
wait until you get it in had. the head is very bulky and overbearing. also the back attachment. compared to a series one warrior he is deff bulking. not a bad thing by and means. he is supposed to be. the same legs and hips have nothing to do with his size. anywayyyys he is a beautiful figure. make sure to check him out!
I truly don't understand why you keep saying this figure is bulky. It looks like the same skinny body as all the other NECA Aliens. Nothing against you (and this figure still looks dope) but it's nowhere NEAR as bulky as the original Kenner toy.
Compared to the Kenner figure, no, but compared to a series 1 xenomorph warrior, yes. Trust me, when I say bulky I am in know way saying that is a bad thing. The new back attachment and the massive head make it bulky, as well as the arms below the elbows. deff not a bad thing though. maybe the video isn't doing justice to what I'm trying to say though.... in hand you can instantly see what I'm talking about, but I also see what you are saying my friend!
From The Shelves I'm willing to admit if I get this thing in hand it may change my mind a bit :p at any rate great review dude. This along with the Mantis were some of my favorite Kenner figs so I'm hyped Neca is remaking them lol
Friggin sucks... I went hunting for this guy today... Found two stores...both stores each had one Gorilla Alien new in box on the shelf.. BUT the catch.. One was missing the black dome cover ! :( and the other stores Gorilla Alien was missing the blasted mini comic!! Really!? Urhhhh wtf.. I find two but both places the figure looks like they had factory errors and weren't packaged correctly with everything! I brought it up to an employee to show them it was missing parts but they said I was wrong and the figure was 100% new sealed and comes with everything it's supposed too... Luckily I have OCD and a keen eye for shit like this.. #frustrationlevels100%
+ I thought it was funny when I told the store employees that this figure should come with two swappable dome covers, a black one which should be on the figure *which was not present in the package* and a transparent one... They didn't believe me so I didn't get into a huge fight with the store employees about it, I was just like fine screw you guys I'm not buying this from you for full retail price when it's not 100% complete from the get go even though it's technically new sealed.
Then the 2nd store had one Gorilla Alien too, this time with the black dome !! ... Then after me looking a little closer I noticed... "Shit really?" the mini comic is missing ... Fuck my life... Struck out hard today ... Found two but both had factory errors... My DAMN LUCK. :/
Knifehead Category IV yeah sorry. I got a new camera. was still messing with the exposure on this video and another. problem is fixed now but by the time this video and another got uploaded it was already to late. Sorry brother. like I said I found the problem now
This is a cool figure. I can imagine posing this figure with the 1968 Planet of the Apes figures and make it like the xenomorph came out of one of the gorilla soldiers.
Man, I'm gonna play with this and the mantis one a lot! After I make sure the joints aren't that stiff of course.
Loved to see this guy and mantis in a movie together. They'd make for one vicious duo.
I pre-ordered the gorilla xenomorph and mantis xenomorph
Oh...so that's what happened to Harambe
I appreciate your thorough reviews. Keep it up!
EarthsGeomancer thank you! I appreciate it 👍👍👍
So cool! Paint, details and all.. could potentially be my favorite Alien..
Harambe would be scared of this thing
Saulo Sauce this is harambe
no it aint these jokes are annoying
shut up with these jokes already these jokes r just making fun of him
you dropped him harder than my boi harambe
@@tiffanywilliams6040 cant anybody have their own opinion without losers like you talking trash.
My favorite figure from the new series. Great sculpt!
Dude this is my favorite Kenner alien growing up lol
I remember buying the Kenner 90s original with some cask I got for my birthday, and love these NECA versions. Although... I think I prefer the metallic blue paint job of the original, which really gave the sculpt depth. Can't help but feel that if Neca had gone metallic blue this would have made the figure even more impressive.
If NECA really wanted to tease me with a good time they'd make the flying queen and Joss Whedon's unused bone white alien newborn concept.
My god NECA incorporated the little levers on the back that gave the Kenner Alien it's 'attack motion' (those two 'exhaust ports' on the back here). Amazing. Cant wait to pick it up. Had this (and the Mantis) as a kid.
DarthBelch0 hell yeah man. they are awesome figures
Another great video; keep em comin homey!
@fromtheshelves This figure is AWESOME.

Great review, never seen any of yours before but I'll be sure to subscribe!
Awesome! I actually didn't know that. Thanks man, I appreciate it!
this and the mantis are the main two I really want
I like the clear dome.
Man, this thing is incredible. They knocked it out of the park. I wish they could have widened the torso and shortened the legs, but I know that would have cost more in tooling so they reused as much as they could. Still, they did an amazing job as-is. I just need to see what they do with that Bull Alien now!
galmorzu yes it is! I want the snake and cougar! they are all great. maybe even the queen. power suit or the Kenner king alien in the future? one can hope...
There was some word that Neca is possibly going to do this unreleased Kenner Marine figure that's wearing some kind of Predator power armor akin to ATAX and the alien armor, as he's referenced in the Spiked Tail Pred bio. Looks like Neca may be in the Kenner retro game for the long haul.
the alien armor was also seen in the comic that came with the quuen facehugger as well, so lets hope so
help my gorilla alien head fell off does anyone have advice on how to fix it besides crazy glue
Test subject xenomorph:so I u r going to put gorilla DNA into me? Is that even safe?
Queen xenomorp.:shut up I know what I'm doing.
**4hours later we have the gorilla xenomorph. He soon eats a banana and dies from the first human food it has eaten.**
GorillaMorph vs Pretorian
Who do you think will win?
Is this online exclusive in Ontario (canada)? I've gone to every toys r us in the area and I can't find it
SamuRaptor nope. I'm from Baltimore Maryland (usa) and they have them. they might not be a all retailers yet. I got mine online right from neca. check necas ebay and Amazon stores. they will have them
SamuRaptor you can try bigbadtoystore they probably have the new aliens
Now to wait on necas take on the flying queen
my figure has very very loose legs,can somebody help me with the joints.(im aware of the mighty pledge thing,and it doesnt work for me)
Why does it's dome look like a bike seat???
Would have been cool if they'd included a spurt of acid to plug into the mouth as a throwback to the original Kenner
Black dome is best. Cant decide if i like this or the mantis best. Cant wait for their next kenner line!
is he made of stifff plastic or is he extremely fragile?
In 4 days I'm getting this yesss
I like the Removable crome
its a beautiful collectors peace
This fucking thing
I need this fucking thing
Which is better this one or theclan leader
hard to compare. they are 2 totally different lines
wouldnt be able to choose though. when I was growing up I had both Kenner versions of them both. love them equally
Im getting him next Wednesday
Great video 👍
thanks!
I you could paint that black it could pass as a praetorian
You forgot to show the comic man!!!!!!!
hahaha yeahhhh everyone keeps telling me this. didn't know everyone loved those things so much. next time
if u ever think about selling it contact me I want to buy it
They should have given it shorter but bulyer legs in my opinion.
harambe xenomorph?
I think what I really really love about this. is its something they could put in a movie. and it'd be amazing. #PutAlien6InAZoo
George Feldkamp hahaha totally. like if an infestation happened on a jungle planet or ever like a zoo
From The Shelves most definitely my dude 😂👌
George Feldkamp
Aliens: Wild planet
What if those guys that made the aliens created hybrids between animals on our planet and xenomorphs creating these kind of animal aliens
It was like a Jurassic park for these creatures but like Jurassic park
It went wrong.
YES OMFG
How the hell is this very very bulky, he uses the same body mold from the previous Aliens :(
DRAPION his head is a brand new sculpt and about 40% larger then the original and the back attachment packs on alot of size.
DRAPION as well as his forearms. I also said it wasn't a bad thing too. it works perfectly for him
From The Shelves , he does have a point though from the front he looks really skinny just with bulky forearms -_-
wait until you get it in had. the head is very bulky and overbearing. also the back attachment. compared to a series one warrior he is deff bulking. not a bad thing by and means. he is supposed to be. the same legs and hips have nothing to do with his size. anywayyyys he is a beautiful figure. make sure to check him out!
