AFHub Handle: RG
Real Name: Rene Gerard F. Galvez

Today NECAonline revisits the original sci-fi nightmare as they debut composite images of the upcoming Alien 7″ Scale Action Figure!

Movie-accurate, standing 9″ tall, and boasting over 20 points of articulation, the Alien Action Figure is the first figure that truly captures the nightmarish essence of H.R.
