Should you bother finding this NECA ALF figure?

[@ray.deathray]

I never thought I’d need this, but NECA made this a must-have. They’ve been hitting home runs with their recent figures-at least those that aren’t just re-releases of things from 15 years ago.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha true! This is certainly a wonderful figure

[@michaelcorsiniart]

Man, this figure brings back a lot of great memories sitting around watching ALF with my family. Probably gonna have to get this.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

NECA is so great at that. Definitely find one!

[@Optimegatrongodzilla]

​​​@@NostalgiaUnboxedThe shirt is from 'ALF: The Animated Series', which is a prequel to 'ALF' that show's Gordon Shumway(AKA ALF)'s life on Melmac. The picture is of Rhonda, who ALF was into but never got to date. If memory serves, on the day that Melmac exploded, he was going to go on a date with her. Rhonda and Skip, one of ALF's friends, were among the seemingly few survivors of Melmac's destruction.

[@RalphVBoy]

Remember Alf? He’s back! In NECA form! Awesome review, sir. Looks like another winner for detail, articulation and overall value. I’ll be on the lookout for this Alf!

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

I hope Neca makes Alf with willies blue button up shirt. From the episode where Alf was lip syncing and dancing to Bob Seger's old time rock and roll. Bc those 🕶️ go better with that look. Of course Neca could reuse the 🕶️. I'm surprised Neca haven't made the Tanners. Or their neighbors the Ochmonek's. But it's probably a rights issue. Also if the fan base wants them or not. I'm probably in the minority of ppl who want them. It's a business, no company is going to shell out, all that 💰 to not! make a profit.

NECA scale is 1/10th. Their bigger, clothed figures are 8 inches which is about 1/9th scale.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I don’t think they technically have a scale. I think they are one of those companies that do it to the inch instead. Which is why Alf and the Gremlins are all over the place

[@TheToyOdyssey]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed no they definitely do have a scale. I’ve been collecting NECA for twenty years and even Randy Faulk said they do 1:10th( mainline stuff, ex Alf, Warduke etc) and 8inch for their clothes figures. And finally they for 1/4th.
