In Alien, Ellen Ripley may have faced some of the worst horrors imaginable during her deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the fierce Xenomorph on-board the Nostromo, but she certainly wasn't the only one to feel the creature's wrath. Dallas and the crew's orange cat Jonesy also had to contend with the alien, and NECA pays tribute to them and Ripley in their upcoming Series 4 action figures that are shown in new photos.
Coming out in March 2015, NECA's 7" Series 4 Alien action figures consist of Dallas in his spacesuit, Ellen wearing her space gear, and Ellen in her regular uniform. Cat lovers should be delighted to find a figure of Jonesy the cat with each Ellen item, while all three figures come with weaponized accessories. We have photos and the figures' official descriptions below (via NECA):
"Series 4 in our best-selling Alien action figure collection celebrates 35 years of the original Alien film with all-new character debuts! It includes two versions of Ellen Ripley — for the first time ever featuring the likeness of Sigourney Weaver — and Dallas in his Nostromo Spacesuit.
Ripley in Nostromo Jumpsuit comes with flamethrower and Jonesy the cat. Dallas in Nostromo Spacesuit comes with removable helmet, pistol and flashlight. Ripley in Nostromo Spaceuit comes with removable helmet, harpoon gun with two different attachments, and a frightened version of Jonesy the cat. Each fully articulated figure stands approximately 7″ tall and comes in special 35th Anniversary packaging."
