“Get away from her, you bitch!” If that line doesn’t immediately send chills down your spine, I don’t know what to tell you. Aliens is one of my all-time favorite films and the franchise as a whole holds a special place in my heart, so when I saw that NECA is rolling out a fresh wave of 40th Anniversary reissues to celebrate James Cameron’s 1986 masterpiece, I was all in. These are preorders that just went live over at BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth, and if you missed these releases the first time around, this is your chance to finally lock them down. Leading the charge is the Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph at $46.99, standing over 9 inches tall in 7-inch scale with over 30 points of articulation, a bendy wire tail, that signature hinged jaw with extending inner mouth, and a solid accessory spread that includes a facehugger, chestburster, and open Ovomorph, all packaged in a collector-friendly deluxe window box. Then there’s the real showstopper, the Alien Queen Deluxe Action Figure at $149.99, which is an absolute beast at over 15 inches tall and 30 inches long, completely in scale with NECA’s 7-inch line and featuring two interchangeable inner mouths plus a display stand. For diorama builders, the Xenomorph Eggs 6-Pack at $36.99 gives you six Ovomorphs and three facehuggers with bendable tails, which is the kind of army-building accessory set that can completely transform a shelf display. And rounding out the wave is the one piece I know a lot of collectors have been hunting for years, the Power Loader P-5000 Deluxe Vehicle at $109.99, standing over 11 inches tall with over 30 points of articulation, 20 wires and hoses, working pistons, and the ability to fit most 6.5 to 7-inch figures so you can recreate that legendary final confrontation. All four are slated to ship in September 2026, giving you plenty of time to plan your display. Whether you’re filling gaps in your collection or starting fresh, these figures are worth jumping on.

Aliens 40th Anniversary Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph Action Figure
The front of the Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph box showcases the same high-contrast monochrome artwork, this time pulling back to show more of the creature’s elongated skull and ribbed jaw structure against the dark field. NECA’s 40th Anniversary reissue preorders are a great opportunity to pick up pieces like this if you missed them the first time, and as one of my favorite movie franchises, it’s nice to see Aliens getting this kind of treatment.
The Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph box is all black with a striking close-up of the Xenomorph’s head and bared teeth rendered in grainy, high-contrast monochrome, with the title text cutting through in that signature blue glow.
The back of the Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph’s deluxe window box packaging features four separate display windows, the top two showing the jet-black Xenomorph from different angles, while the lower windows highlight the included Ovomorph with its facehugger emerging and the chestburster accessory in its fleshy pinkish-red coloring.
The bendy wire tail trails along the ground with a textured, segmented sculpt, and the hinged jaw is open with the inner mouth extended, the glossy jet-black deco catching cool light across the ribcage and limb joints.
His dorsal tubes extend from the back in a sweeping cluster, each one individually sculpted with ridged, bone-like texture, and the glossy jet-black finish on the elongated cranium has a wet, organic quality to it.
The Aliens 40th Anniversary Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph Action Figure’s long, spindly fingers are curled inward with individually sculpted joints and sharp claw tips, and the tight, layered ribbing across the torso catches a cool blue light that highlights the depth of the sculpt work.
His reverse-jointed legs have a dense, mechanical texture to them, with layered tendons and ridged plating running from the digitigrade ankle joints up through the thigh, and the feet end in sharp, splayed claws that give the figure a solid base.
The Aliens 40th Anniversary Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph Action Figure’s upper body is hunched forward with its arms reaching out, and the sculpted biomechanical piping and ribbed tubing winding through the chest and shoulders have a slick, wet-looking finish that really sells the organic-meets-mechanical Giger aesthetic.
The hinged jaw is wide open with the inner mouth fully extended, and the teeth on both the outer and inner jaws have a bone-white tone that pops against the slick jet-black of the cranium and those dense, coiled tubes running along the neck.
The facehugger accessory included with the Aliens 40th Anniversary Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph and gets a great close-up here, with its long bendable tail trailing down and each finger-like leg individually sculpted with knuckle joints and textured skin in a warm, fleshy tan tone.
The chestburster accessory included with the Aliens 40th Anniversary Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph and has a fleshy pinkish-red tone with mottled darker washes settling into the ridged, segmented body, and the tiny open mouth with its rows of small teeth is a nasty little detail.
The open Ovomorph accessory included with the Aliens 40th Anniversary Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph Action Figure has a deeply textured, leathery green-brown shell with a glossy wet-looking finish, and the fleshy pink interior of the split petals contrasts nicely against the dark exterior, with the facehugger perched on top, its finger-like legs splayed wide and its segmented tail trailing down into the egg.
The Aliens 40th Anniversary Ultimate Warrior Xenomorph is shown here with its full accessory spread, the facehugger, chestburster, and open Ovomorph all laid out alongside the jet-black figure and its bendy wire tail.
Aliens 40th Anniversary Alien Queen Deluxe Action Figure
If you missed out on the Alien Queen the first time around, this is your chance. Seeing this massive deluxe box with the Queen packed inside behind the window, her crested head and clawed limbs filling the tray, is a great sight.
The Alien Queen’s box front wraps around with dark, atmospheric artwork showing the Queen towering over smaller figures, her full silhouette rendered in deep metallic blue tones with her massive crest, elongated tail, and multi-jointed limbs filling the composition.
The box design leans into the Hadley’s Hope aesthetic, with printed control panels, glowing blue lightning effects, and industrial grating wrapping the exterior, framing the window where the Queen is packed inside.
The Aliens 40th Anniversary Alien Queen Deluxe Action Figure is a massive piece, and here she’s posed in full aggressive glory with her crest swept back, all four arms splayed wide, and that segmented tail curving up behind her, the glossy blue-black finish catching light across every ridge and joint.
She’s glossy blue-black finish has a wet, chitinous sheen that catches cool light across the ribbed torso, the elongated head crest, and the thin, clawed fingers of her smaller inner arms.
The figure towers over a smaller figure posed nearby, and the sheer scale difference really drives home how massive this piece is at over 15 inches tall.
The segmented tail curls up with a ridged, bone-like texture along each joint, and the glossy finish on the tail tip contrasts with the matte sections running through the midsection.
The Alien Queen’s head crest is packed with sculpted ridges and recessed grooves, and the inner mouth is extended with its teeth bared, the warm bone-colored tone on those teeth standing out sharply against all that glossy blue-black.
The larger outer arms are fully extended here, showing off the long, spindly clawed fingers and the layered joint sculpting at the shoulders and elbows.
She’s is posed alongside a Marine for scale, and the size difference is staggering, with the Queen’s legs alone dwarfing the smaller figure from head to toe.
Aliens 40th Anniversary Power Loader (P-5000) Deluxe Vehicle
The Power Loader P-5000 Deluxe Vehicle box carries the same industrial blue-and-steel aesthetic, with printed images of the loader from multiple angles showing off its yellow frame, black hydraulic detailing, and the yellow-and-black caution striping on the feet.
The back of the Power Loader P-5000 Deluxe Vehicle box shows a photo of the loader with a Ripley figure strapped into the cockpit, the yellow-green frame lit up with working headlights that cast a warm glow across the industrial sculpted detailing and the dense network of wires and hoses running through the arms and legs. Alternate control-holding hands for Ripley are included, with the figure sold separately.
This angle of the Power Loader P-5000 Deluxe Vehicle box gives a closer look at the side panel artwork, where the loader is shown from behind with its articulated leg framework and the dense tangle of hoses running through the limbs on full display.
The Power Loader P-5000 Deluxe Vehicle is loaded with sculpted mechanical detail, from the working pistons in the legs to the network of wires and hoses threading through the arms and torso, all finished in that worn industrial yellow with black caution striping on the feet.
The Power Loader P-5000 Deluxe Vehicle’s cockpit area is surrounded by that industrial yellow roll cage framework with a green mesh netting draped across the top canopy, and the red and blue wiring threaded through the upper frame adds a nice layer of color against all that yellow.
The lower half shows off the silver piston rods in the legs and the heavy yellow-and-black caution-striped clamp feet, with hydraulic cylinders and mechanical linkages packed into every joint.
Ripley is strapped into the Aliens 40th Anniversary Power Loader P-5000 Deluxe Vehicle with the working headlight casting a warm glow from the top of the roll cage, her hands gripping the controls while the loader’s massive clamp arms frame her on both sides.
Ripley in the Power Loader is squared up against the Alien Queen in a perfect recreation of one of the most iconic showdowns in sci-fi history, the loader’s massive clamp arms locked with the Queen’s clawed grip.
We can see an up close shot of Ripley grappling with the Alien Queen head-on, and from this closer angle you can really appreciate the size and sculpted texture of the Queen’s elongated skull pressing in against the loader’s clamp arms, with her layered, translucent teeth bared just inches from the cockpit.
The Queen’s segmented tail wrapped tightly around the loader’s clamp arm, the silvery, ridged vertebrae-like sculpt of the tail coiling with real tension against all that worn yellow.
Ripley happened up the Alien Queen in the nest, with open Ovomorphs and a facehugger scattered at their feet, the whole diorama selling that final act confrontation perfectly.
The Aliens 40th Anniversary Power Loader P-5000 Deluxe Vehicle’s arm assembly is front and center here, with the large forklift-style clamp extending forward and the black hoses and wires snaking through every junction point along the forearm and shoulder.
Aliens 40th Anniversary Xenomorph Eggs Set 6 Pack in Collectible Carton
The Aliens 40th Anniversary Xenomorph Eggs Set 6 Pack in Collectible Carton comes packed in a molded egg carton with tongue-in-cheek “Safe Handling Instructions” printed on the inside lid, and the six Ovomorphs sit snugly in their slots, three with their fleshy pink petals split open and three facehuggers with bendable tails perched on top.
The exterior of the Aliens 40th Anniversary Xenomorph Eggs Set 6 Pack in Collectible Carton leans hard into the gag, styled as a genuine grocery store egg carton with “Hadley’s Hope Cage-Free Eggs” printed across the top label, a mock Nutrition Facts panel, a biohazard “Not For Human Consumption” stamp, and “Expires 2179” stamped on the side. With NECA’s 40th Anniversary reissue preorders live and Alien being one of my favorite movie franchises, the Weyland-Yutani corporate logo pressed into the front of the carton is a perfect little detail.
The closed carton shows off the Weyland-Yutani logo stamped into the front and the “Expires 2179” date printed on the side, with the top label’s dark imagery of the Xenomorph peeking out from the partially lifted lid flap.
Six Ovomorphs are lined up outside the carton, showing the full spread: one closed egg, three with their fleshy pink petals split open, and two with facehuggers in different stages, one emerging and one fully out with its long bendable tail draped across the surface.
The Ovomorphs are grouped together with a facehugger lunging upward out of the center egg and another one crouched low with its tail trailing behind, the warm tan-brown coloring on both creatures contrasting against the dark, leathery green shells.
The shot captures the stages nicely for diorama shots, with the open Ovomorph’s fleshy pink interior and the facehugger crawling out adding a real sense of menace alongside the closed eggs and their deeply textured, leathery shells.
Three closed Ovomorphs from sit in the foreground with their deeply wrinkled, leathery shells catching a glossy sheen, while three open eggs behind them each have a facehugger rising on its tail with legs splayed wide.
The eggs pair beautifully with a Ripley figure for scale, and seeing the Ovomorphs clustered together with facehuggers perched and crawling really sells how well this set works for nest diorama setups.
