Good review man, a lot of detail shots and descriptions. I know its cheap, and it may be a knockoff, and as much as I love official NECA stuff, sometimes their quality control is just as bad as this. Overall if this is a knockoff, it actually looks really good for what it is. You should show the box so people can compare to their official versions. Great job here.
RetroRumble thanks so much!!! The box was destroyed in transit, normally I do show the boxes. It had the strength of construction paper... easy to tell it’s a fake
@@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608 agreed, I've never seen an official queen in person where I live. but just going off of pictures the shiny slimy glimmers just not there on this one
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel Well I mean the figure got re-released I picked mine up at gamestop when it was re-released. They are available online and such now pretty close to base retail price now because there was another surge of them to buy from. Haha you should see the fake red queens, it's beyond bad like you don't even need them side by side you can look at the bootleg and it looks like make up that was applied by a 5 year old; for some reason they came out like 10 times worse than the standard bootleg queens.
Phillip I’ll have to look up some pics, I can’t wait to see how bad they are. I’ve moved on from the NECA reviews cause I don’t like buying them online as I can’t see the figure first. So I figure since im SOL I’ll focus on transformers and whatever big tin robot drops off
I got one of these as well and I agree it's not half bad in terms of sculpt and paint, but my issues with mine is that the entire head comes off too easily and the hip joints in the legs are too loose to keep it up on it's own. Some minor flaws would be that the teeth are greenish in color, the wire is visible on the tail in small areas, the jaw is crooked and I can't get the longer tongue to sit in the mouth at all. I also think it's not as glossy/shiny as the original NECA figure is, it just looks like plastic instead of slimy but that could be just a nitpick of mine. But overall it's not half bad, just not as good as the original from what I've seen.
crooked mouth can be fixed with a hair drier, heat it up and just hold it in place. Mine had a peg for the mouth that wasn't inserted properly hair dryer trick worked great! thanks for your feedback!
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel I tried hairdrying it but ovetime it went back to its original shape, it looks mismolded so I don't think there's anything fixing it. Thanks for responding!
yo nice review i ordered a pretty cheap queen not too long ago and just in case it's a knockoff i'm trying to see how good they are compared to the real ones looks like they're actually pretty good! keep on reviewing my guy 👍
I still don't know if mine is authentic or a bootleg. Based on how close they apparently are, I guess it doesn't really matter. It depends on the collector I guess. Personally I'd like to know, just out of curiosity.
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel I was told that the authentic ones have Made in China Neca (the year, i can't see it properly) embossed under the crest. I don't know if that's true. Sorry you didn't really get what you paid for with your figure, but you're right it looks awesome anyway. Whatever the differences are, they're trivial I reckon.
Lol odd that I felt the same way when I bought a hiya alien queen, the arm keeps popping off the ball joint and the spines broke. I am on the fence about getting an AVP queen from them even though reviews state thats it's a much better mould. Is this queen worth it if I get at a really cheap price? I see quite a few on Ali express.
if you're a fan of the design you really cant get better. Just understand its joints cannot support its own weight and you will need to use the provided stand for posing. unfortunately my stand ultimately snapped under the weight after several years. hope this helps with your decision
NGL, I bought the real NECA one from BBTS, and the quality concerns you're discussing (as of about 5 minutes in to the video) are the same as I'm seeing in the real NECA. So much so, I'm trying to search on how to tell if the one I was sent from BBTS was a fake.
Holy crap really?!?! Those official releases aren't cheap, for it to feel like KO in hand is unacceptable IMHO. I'm sorry about that. Thank you for watching
To my knowledge a majority of these KO’s are just produced in the same factory by workers during off hours… kinda like a rush job hence the poor quality plastics and paints.
I have both original and bootleg-knock off the Neca Alien Queen and I can say with confidence the Knock Off is actually not bad. My only complain is the holding piece which looks solid, but in my case it broke. If someone can recommend my someway or something to hold the "bitch" in a decent way I would appreciate it so much!
It cracks me the way they talk about bootlegs when Neca couldn't be closer to bootleg quality i have this queen and had to return it the first time cause it came with a broken hand joint and the second one was so loose in the joints that i can't even stand it can count how many headaches i've had with my NECA figures they look amazing in the box but you take them out and it is over baby knock offs sucks but real NECAS suck just as bad.
Yea, it’s pretty much why I haven’t reviewed any. My faith in them isn’t high enough to preorder figures, and nothing really makes it to the shelf by me.
NECA definitely has some quality control problems, but I've had considerably worse experiences with the bootleg versions than the real ones. I've bought a couple of NECA bootlegs and only 2 or 3 of them came without any notable damage, as the rest all came with some warped/crushed sculpts or flat-out broken limbs. Some of the legit NECA figures that I got had some minor issues(obviously they should have no issues at all) but from my luck, they've been considerably better than the bootlegs that I got.
Okay so I actually got a genocide red alien queen; and it was fake. Here is the thing, unlike this one which looks like it actually- but it looks SO MUCH WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL. Like holy fuck is it bad. Like the fake original ones, are tolerable visually, but the red queen is so fucking hideous. Thankfully when pointed out it was fake, the seller refunded me in full and let me keep the bootleg figure; so since it was free I repainted it black, added wings and fangs and some custom sculpt work and made it into the vampire queen from the Vampirella crossover comics haha.
Also, you were commenting on how loose the spines were; the official figure does that too I hate it. The crown popping off was a knockoff problem though. Hope you got a new one since the re-release!
At this point I’m sorry I can’t help, I haven’t seen one in the wild for years. And I don’t trust the overseas sellers. If I had a source for this one I’d happily share it.
Original NECA's are so poorly made lately and knock-offs are improving everytime... As far as I can see in this video, there are some minor painting and colour differences between this one and the original: the official figure has a lot more detailed paintjob, with some parts airbrushed, besides the golden paint is brighter in NECA's.
There is a Russian RUclipsr who help with this, now his video of this was before he speak English or added subtitles to his reviews but on his comments section he added an English details. If the head falls off easily, or the mouth moves to freely and in the crown if there not fox and NECA copy right it’s a fake
@@Wuqing the two blade like thing on the face crown you will need to pull it forward in order to have a better view. On the left side is the fox copyright and on the right is the NECA copyright if if had both logos you are alright.
hello friend. i love your channel and all your videos. thanks to your channel my collections has grown a lot. i want it to ask you, if you could help me by giving some tips of how i can recognize a bootleg neca alien queen. I have one but i dont know if its real or KO.
The thing is, China bootlegs can be indistinguishable with the original, save for a few hiccups one thing that may help is that the re-issue of the Queen has a "30th Anniversary" sticker on it. That's one way to know you're buying a legitimate re-issue of the Queen. also the BOOTLEG CANNOT hold itself up in a pose the legs are super weak. thanks for watching hope this helps
@@LukyArakunedesu a little bigger than 1/12th The 1/12th scale power loader from Aoshima Bunka Kyoza is approx 9” tall and the neca Power Loader is a little over 11” tall
unfortunately the area I live in has a big time scalper who notoriously pays the employees at local stores for access to the cases prior to hitting the shelves. I have missed out on a lot of figures because of him. That's why I partnered with Big Tin Robot as they get me whatever I am looking for. I totally understand your frustration
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel I had a conversation with the lad's at forbidden planet, the shelf in the basement is full of unpaid for cherry picked item's The rest of us could have paid and be enjoying said item's without a hefty premium of shop employee's
absolutely right, it was $95, after bitching to the seller I got money back and it ultimately was $75. I'll still be buying the Official if I see it. if not I'll get the resurrection one. Thank you for checking out my review
