NECA is revisiting one of the franchise's most important creature looks for the 40th anniversary of Aliens. Confirmed via NECA's official pre-order page, the Aliens 40th Anniversary Xenomorph Warrior figure is priced at $39.99 on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, with an expected shipping window in Q4 2026.
This is a current official product page, so here is what is actually confirmed.
NECA's official listing confirms the following:
That makes it more than a simple repaint or anniversary label swap.
NECA specifically calling out a return to the creature's natural film look is important. For many collectors, that cleaner jet-black appearance is the version that best matches the tone and lighting of Aliens, especially compared with more stylized or alternate deco releases.
Creature figures can live or die on silhouette, and the bendy tail is a big part of what keeps a Xenomorph display from looking stiff. It gives the figure much more flexibility for crouched, striking, or stalking poses without needing a giant base to do all the work.
For storing smaller companion accessories from surrounding Aliens scenes, an acrylic modular case is still useful as a support piece. For elevating Colonial Marines or other figures around the Xenomorph into a better confrontation scene, a 4-step acrylic display stand helps create better depth.
$39.99 on NECA's official page.
Q4 2026.
Over 9 inches tall in 7-inch scale.
Over 30 points of articulation, a bendy wire tail, and a hinged jaw with extending inner mouth.
This looks like a strong anniversary creature release because it keeps the focus on the classic film look and on poseability where it actually matters. For Aliens shelves that need a cleaner warrior presence, this is one of the more straightforward current options.
