I have waited years for an movie accurate alien queen figure, finally neca and Mr. Kyle Windix and co- sculptors have truly ,fulfilled my wish. thanks mr. Kyle Windix for your wonderful work through such hard times you endured during sculpting the queen.God bless you and yours.
Dan, I noticed that may have forgotten to unpack the clear plastic 'U'-shaped piece that fits on top of the metal rods. It makes resting the figure on the stand easier.
***** I believe that you have the spines installed incorrectly. I swaped sides from what you did, and the spines fit and look much better. They also don't get in the way of the crest. To clarify, the little axe parts should be facing upward toward the crest.
Simply put: WOW!! Sure glad you did this preview and pointed out all the niceties of the figure!! NECA calendar has her released on 27 Nov,. Cannot wait!! Can still be pre-ordered from online retailers who offer her.
I really enjoy Dans reviews so much enthusiasm and excitement, I watch many other figure reviewers and to me they don't have too much pride in their videos like he does not to mention Dan made me collect figures.....Now I have way to much lol
I have this on order from Amazon and have a place set aside for it to display when it arrives. The wife went a bit loopy when she found out that I'd ordered it and wasn't amused but as we're both sci fi geeks, I showed her your vid and she's come round a bit. Great review man, made me so excited to get mine. Looks exquisite!!

Great review. Love the paint and finish on this beauty too. My support rod(s) on the belly underside have a supplied plastic U that can be pushed onto the end of the rod and can be placed in two indentations on the chest. Works great. I might use a small soft sticky piece of the stuff (they use to stick double pane windows together) to attach the small jaw inside as mine won't click in. For now it is just sitting inside the jaw. Actually looks ok like that too. Thank you very much for the review and assembly explanation.
Luckily mine seems to be strong enough at the hips to stand without the metal rod which is good as I hate using stands. Looks weird when a figure had a plastic rod sticking out under it. The middle part of the feet seem to be upside down on all the figures I have seen when they arrive in package. Easy to flip over though.
Nice review,love the fact that the rod is metal and not plastic,better way to support the upper body weight of the figure.My payday is this Thursday so I'm definitely getting one!
OH MY F**KING GOD, I've just received this baby today and I cannot believe how big it is!! The sculpt and detail is absolutely stunning. My wife was blown away by the look of it and has forgiven me for ordering it without her knowing haha. I'd love to see how NECA tops this beauty, I doubt they ever will as this is the best looking and detailed action figure/toy/collectible that I have ever bought.
Hey Dan I asked for this for Christmas and I am so excited to see if I get it BTW I love that her head slide like in aliens vs predators when she is defrosting and her head slides out when she wakes up
I purchased the alternate paint figure (electric blue one one side and the normal brown on the other. and it was amazing. my complaint was that the leg segment right above his foot was warped, so its leg was always at an angle that made it hard to pose. this one is my first alien, but I have 2 Godzilla already from NECA. over all I think this one is pretty good
BTW i think there is a more elegant solution how to make her standing without needing to have a huge metal rod in front of her, like using some weight glued somewhere, or simply to fix the tail to backrgound / ground etc, at least, this is what I will do :)
Hey PixelDan. Thank you. Your review convinced me to get the Alien Queens. Huge and eye-catching. I am glad I came across your review. Great job from you and Neca. Cheers
Hello Dan how you doing?, Whats the difference between this edition and version of alien queen neca ! with the other Alíen Queen Revoltech Ch version ?
Just curious, Dan, how does she compare to the McFarlane Queen that came out some years ago? I love the Kenner one (still have it!) and the McFarlane one was about as close to perfection as I thought a Queen toy could get. This one looks to have some better paint work, though. Although the other did have that cool cocooned colonist diorama to go with it (and a adjustable chestburster!).
I just orderd one today. OH WOW, can't wait to get my hands on her hahahahahah. Great video, and amazing figure, sure as hell a classic figure in her own right.
+Hyapin Totally agree with that. The only bad thing is, just a small thing really. Those 6 sticks at her back keep falling of, but just a small thing really. An amazing piece of Art and sure to be a classic in figure history.
+TheFree2last1 Yep, I had a hell of a time just trying to get half of them in and making them stay. What frustrated me was some didn't want to go in the whole way, but I think I have mine in now. I haven't been able to fit her inner jaws in yet, as they keep falling out no matter what.
I just want to ask if how much or what is the size of the box of alien queen ? Dimension example like 15 height 20length 25 width bcoz I want to make one box to put the alien queen and I want to rap as a gift?
That is a supremely done figure, awesome figure. Great review!! It's making my fanboy come out! I love how you bring attention to the almost high heel like features of her feet. I love the design of the Alien Queen, I believe she was made to be aesthetically feminine, from the curves, to the angles, to the stances she poses in. I believe NECA captured that aesthetic femininity of the Alien Queen, which makes her a real beauty. From a Xenomorphs standpoint, I bet she is the talk of the hive! lol
Nice..but I do not like the display stand getting in the way. I would've like to see a side-by-side comparison in the end with 'McFarlane' Queen. I dont know why this line is taking FORVERRR already on giving us more marines such as 'Drake, Vazquez, Apone'. I have a feeling the line is going to be done once the Riply is released...like always neca really seems to never finish any toy line completely.
I'm Looking forward to add this figure to my collection.She's gonna be along with my 6 inch Darth Vader sinces she's my favourite movie villian. Thanks for this awesome review man!!
it seems like they could have put some ratchets in the legs to help it stand better and thats like the only complaint i have but im still going to try to hunt that thing down great review as well bro
Thinking of whether to buy the McFarlane Aliens Queen or this figure, though IMO the former looks better than this & the rod stand actually looks inelegant.
You think the McFarlane Queen looks better than NECA's Queen? I understand that you're just stating your opinion and I mean no disrespect but I fail to see how you come to that conclusion. If you've seen the queen as she appears on screen and have seen pictures of the actual screen-used prop, NECA got it down perfectly unlike McFarlane which went for a more stylized look. Either way, they're both great figures so I guess it depends on what you prefer; movie accuracy or a more stylized look.
I own both and the NECA one is far better. You may get lucky as I have and get one with hip joints strong enough for her to stand without the metal rod. Like you, I dislike having stands like that attached to figures.
Oh also, the McFarlane one will only stand when attached to the big plastic base as it has pegs sticking out of the bottom of it's feet which I don't like. Even attached to the stand it is very top heavy and would often fall forward.
HFalconYT Cameron's design was inspired and modeled after the Giger Xenomorph, but you are correct in one aspect. "H.R. Giger notably had no direct involvement in the design of the Queen. However, he would go on to praise the creature's look, calling it "really great".
Giger, even though he designed the look of the iconic Alien itself, had nothing to do with the design of the Queen, it was James Cameron's designs realised by the late, great Stan Winston who were the brains behind this beautiful, nightmarish creature. But as @Horzzo above mentioned, Giger was well impressed with it's look.
Great review dude!! Damn this thing looks so badass!
She is the queen of xenomorphs
HELL YA!!!
Hella
xenomorph fan i see your a fan of the alien franchise
Xenomorph
and predator too
holy **** that's awesome, I'm not even a huge Alien fan but I want it!!!
3:53 Alien Queen: help me!
Daniel Wood OMG XD

just got mine...loooove her!

The old Kenner Alien Queen had a simple queen but damn it had an awesome diorama base with humans stuck to the wall and such.
I really enjoy Dans reviews so much enthusiasm and excitement, I watch many other figure reviewers and to me they don't have too much pride in their videos like he does not to mention Dan made me collect figures.....Now I have way to much lol
Just got this figure, very sturdy and well made.
their was a clear c clamp that connected to the metal that crackled her you must have not seen it
I have this on order from Amazon and have a place set aside for it to display when it arrives. The wife went a bit loopy when she found out that I'd ordered it and wasn't amused but as we're both sci fi geeks, I showed her your vid and she's come round a bit.

This action figure is longer than a small chihuahua! What a true masterpiece of an action figure.

Wow that figure looks amazing! Neca really hit it out the park with this one.
I got this figure for christmas and i love it!!!! Its my biggest action figure ever.
I hope they release a Power loader with Aliens Ripley then my life will be complete
Nice review,love the fact that the rod is metal and not plastic,better way to support the upper body weight of the figure.My payday is this Thursday so I'm definitely getting one!

I bought one of these bad girls. Should take delivery in the coming weeks!
Hey Dan I asked for this for Christmas and I am so excited to see if I get it
BTW I love that her head slide like in aliens vs predators when she is defrosting and her head slides out when she wakes up
i cant wait for mine to ship! i needed this figure as soon as i saw the pre-order on BBTS
Very nice! Can't wait for mine to arrive!
can't wait for this queen alien! long live the queen indeed!!!!
maybe we'd get a nice die cast tight or lower torso in future re-relase? so we dont need the metal rod for stand.
OH MY GOODNESS, It's beautiful.
Tip: There are two small hollows behind her little T-Rex arms that the stand rests in.
It’s supposed to come with inserts for the end of the rod so it has a little platform to rest on.
Excellent, thorough and informative review.

I can't believe it! My dream is coming true. One more week to go!

Hey PixelDan. Thank you. Your review convinced me to get the Alien Queens. Huge and eye-catching. I am glad I came across your review. Great job from you and Neca. Cheers
can't wait to see some Christmas videos :)
Oh no, I have to buy a whole table for her?
I don't care! She's awesome, amazing, fantastic and gigantic!
Nice beard for Movember, Dan!
😀👍
Hello Dan how you doing?, Whats the difference between this edition and version of alien queen neca ! with the other Alíen Queen Revoltech Ch version ?
must be nice! treasure her Dan...treasure her while the rest of us wait. You lucky SOB
Awesome figure !! Can't wait to get it !!
Since a typical Queen stands about 15 feet, how big does that make Dan compared to her?
I want her, she looks fantastic!
This thing looks awesome!
getting one this friday!!!thanks for the review
Does it hold up well with hiya toys size comparison cause she should be massive compared to the 4 inch figures. It would be size perfect.
already to the sale?
PC Best Mods Soon!
Its BEATIFUL!!!! i want that figure it is amazing.
I am so going to add this to my little collection next month! *o*
Just curious, Dan, how does she compare to the McFarlane Queen that came out some years ago?

D'oh, noticed you mentioned below that you didn't have it. Nevermind!
OH MY GOD, IT'S SMILEY THE XENOMORPH QUEEN!!!
I just orderd one today.
OH WOW, can't wait to get my hands on her hahahahahah.
Great video, and amazing figure, sure as hell a classic figure in her own right.
+TheFree2last1 Mine just came in the mail today and GOOD LORD, is she beautiful!
+Hyapin Totally agree with that.
The only bad thing is, just a small thing really.
Those 6 sticks at her back keep falling of, but just a small thing really.
An amazing piece of Art and sure to be a classic in figure history.

It is so massiiivvveeee! Love it! Wish I have it here already to make a company for my poor little aliens. Thanx for the vid Dan.
awesome review, Dan! This thing looks so amazing, Neca keeps raising the bar.
Were did you get this awsome figure please anwser back
Hey Pixel Dan where did you get the queen Alien?
Where did you find this and how much was it??
I'd love if we got a figure of the sideshow collectibles King Xenomorph to compliment her.
shes out already?!?!? I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED HER!!!!!
My god you have the coolest stuff and the best reviews by far keep up the good work
Excellent review man I haven't been collecting anything with aliens since elementry but after this review I think I'm actually going to buy this one.
It should have come with a clear plastic clip that connects behind the small arms? Mine did anyway
I just want to ask if how much or what is the size of the box of alien queen ? Dimension example like 15 height 20length 25 width bcoz I want to make one box to put the alien queen and I want to rap as a gift?
How much does it cost?
For $115, there: indiequid.com/collections/art/products/neca-deluxe-alien-queen-action-figure
I saw another review of this figure and the guys figure had a clear clip that had rounded ends that clipped onto the chest
Is it to scale with the 7-inch scale figures?
are you gona get the dog alien early too?
where did you find her already?
Nice review dude. Amazing monster. Greetings from Costa Rica.
That is a supremely done figure, awesome figure. Great review!! It's making my fanboy come out! I love how you bring attention to the almost high heel like features of her feet.

I believe NECA captured that aesthetic femininity of the Alien Queen, which makes her a real beauty. From a Xenomorphs standpoint, I bet she is the talk of the hive! lol
Im collecting Neca Alien figures as of now.
That looks amazing!!!😀😍😁
Nice..but I do not like the display stand getting in the way. I would've like to see a side-by-side comparison in the end with 'McFarlane' Queen.

I have a feeling the line is going to be done once the Riply is released...like always neca really seems to never finish any toy line completely.
how fragile are the fingers since they are so skinny?
I saw this bad girl at Target yesterday

What do you of the revoltech alien queen?
her pose is almost dinosaurian!
Awesome figure and review, will this be sold online only or can I find this in Toys R Us? Thanks PixelDan :)
When does it come out
35th Anniversary i feel so old where did the time go?
man I want one I got over 12 neca alien figures but missing this ..
it seems like they could have put some ratchets in the legs to help it stand better and thats like the only complaint i have but im still going to try to hunt that thing down great review as well bro
How did you lose the clip?
Pixel Dan, the Steve Irwin of actionfigures.
omg I really need this figure

Between this of the 18" Master Chief, I don't know what to get!
A Giger masterpiece!
Giger had nothing to do with the Queen.
HFalconYT

GazFunkstar
Like I said in my reply. Exactly.
I WANT THEM ALL!!
Dude the beard is awesome
webbier killer Thanks! :-)
I opened my queen, he is missing a pice that helps display the queen. A W shaped clear plastic piece that wraps around her belly>
Haha six years later...still sucks to be you🤣😂🤪
NICE AND COOL!
How about the price?
Is this from series 3?
great figure, looks great.
Have to have one!!
She beautiful... All hail the Queen!!!
