Funko is expanding the Alien universe with a brand-new wave of officially announced Alien Funko Pop! figures inspired by the legendary sci-fi horror franchise.
What’s New in Pop! Movies: Alien (1979)
This new release pulls directly from Alien and Aliens, delivering a mix of classic moments, iconic characters, and premium display pieces that long-time fans and collectors will instantly recognize.
This wave consists of four new figures in total. Three are part of the Funko Pop! Movies series, while one arrives as a Funko Pop! VHS Covers release celebrating the original Alien film from 1979.
The selection focuses heavily on one of the most unforgettable elements of the franchise: the terrifying life cycle of the Xenomorph, combined with a fan-favorite lead character presentation.
With chase availability, a light-up premium figure, and a VHS-style display format included in this wave, Funko clearly aimed this release at serious collectors as much as casual fans.
Whether you collect Pop! Movies, Pop! Premium figures, or the growing Pop! VHS Covers line, this Alien wave delivers multiple reasons to pay attention.
About Alien
Released in 1979, Alien redefined science fiction horror with its slow-burn tension, claustrophobic setting, and unforgettable creature design. Directed by Ridley Scott, the film introduced audiences to Ellen Ripley and one of the most iconic monsters in movie history: the Xenomorph.
The sequel, Aliens, released in 1986 and directed by James Cameron, expanded the universe with a more action-driven approach while cementing the franchise as a pop culture powerhouse.
Over the decades, Alien has remained a cornerstone of sci-fi cinema, influencing countless films, games, comics, and collectibles. Funko has revisited the franchise multiple times in the past, but this new wave leans heavily into key horror moments rather than generic character poses.
That makes this release especially appealing for collectors who prefer screen-accurate, scene-driven Pop! figures.
By combining Pop! Movies releases with a Pop! VHS Covers figure, Funko continues its strategy of offering both traditional shelf-friendly figures and premium display pieces designed to stand out in a collection.
New Alien Funko Pop! Figures
Characters from Alien franchise have been transformed into Funko Pop! Vinyl figures and are part of the Funko Pop! Movies series.
The Pop! Movies lineup in this wave focuses on Kane and one of the most infamous scenes in film history.
The standard Pop! Movies figure features Kane with the Facehugger attached, recreating the chilling aftermath of the creature’s first successful implantation. The sculpt captures the unsettling nature of the scene while maintaining Funko’s signature stylized proportions.
Alongside this release, collectors can hunt for the chase variant featuring Kane with the Chestburster. This version represents the shocking dinner scene that permanently changed horror cinema. As a chase figure, availability will be limited, making it one of the most sought-after pieces in this wave.
Completing the Pop! Movies selection is a Chestburster Pop! Premium figure with a built-in light-up feature.
Designed as a standalone display piece, this figure emphasizes the creature itself rather than a specific character. The added lighting effect enhances its visual impact, especially in darker display setups, and positions it firmly as a centerpiece item rather than a standard Pop!.
The Pop! VHS Covers release features Ripley from Alien (1979), packaged inside a hard protective case with classic VHS-style artwork. This format has quickly become popular among collectors who enjoy nostalgia-driven packaging combined with modern Pop! figures.
Ripley’s inclusion makes sense not only as the franchise’s central character, but also as a tribute to the original film that started it all.
Pre-order Alien Funko Pop! Figures
Pre-orders for the new Alien Funko Pop! wave are now open at major retailers. As always with chase figures and Pop! Premium releases, early pre-ordering is strongly recommended.
Chase variants are randomly inserted and never guaranteed, while light-up Pop! Premium figures often sell out faster due to their display appeal.
The Pop! VHS Covers Ripley figure is likely to attract both Funko collectors and movie memorabilia fans, which may lead to limited availability after release. If you collect Pop! Movies, Pop! Premium, or Pop! VHS Covers lines, this wave fits cleanly into multiple collecting categories.
