ALF Ultimate Cosmic Con action figure review. Neca, ReelToys, Exclusive 2023

A little positivity in such a hot summer will not hurt!
And that's why today we are reviewing an ideal representative of an extraterrestrial civilization, which can easily provoke a smile even in a very sad person🤪
Meet ALF (Alien Life Form), action figure by Neca and Reel Toys, exclusive 2023 release codenamed Ultimate Cosmic Con 👽
A real joy and a reminder for fans of the old series about the funny alien Alpha, who adapted to life on Earth while living with an American family😁

Our team is very sentimental, so this Alf is not the first one we managed to get in touch with and leave to live in a Ukrainian family, so it is not surprising that our Alf number 1 came to meet a relative and help with unpacking and inspection.
By the way, a review of this restless helper can be found at the link dollshobby.club

The packaging has a traditional look for the series: a bright box-book with a lot of images and information about the main character. In the middle of the box - a blister with a figurine and accessories.

This time, Alf gathered for one of the most important, in his opinion, events - the Intergalactic Comic Con 🛸👽🪐
It was put together very carefully, so it has everything you need for a successful visit to a holiday of this scale, namely:
- a bright shirt with a Hawaiian print;
- sunglasses;
- pass on the red belt;
- roomy blue backpack with thematic print;
- camera with flash;
- video camera;
- telephone with an antenna;
- 4 additional gesture palms.

In our humble opinion, the Alpha figure is one of the coolest achievements of the Neca company, because from the first look and touch, you can understand that a lot of soul and real admiration for this character was put into the development. What is the charisma and mimicry of the serial Alpha so masterfully conveyed!😍

Let's take a closer look at Alpha's accessories, because, as in other releases of figurines, they are always interesting and delight miniature fans😊
The pass on the red strap is made of pleasant rubber, solid, without fasteners. The print is clear and easy to read.

To remove or wear the accessory on Alpha's neck, you only need to remove the upper part of the head. It looks clunky, but it's easy to do and ensures that small accessories don't get lost, as would be possible if the straps were on a clasp.
This is how easy it is to remove the pass and put on the camera.
The camera is rubber, solid.

An old-style phone with a huge antenna is a valuable and useful rarity, because Alf really likes to be in touch😁
Sunglasses made of ordinary plastic, the brackets do not fold up😎

Plastic, solid, but detailed video camera. Elements are static, do not move.

For holding various trinkets, the set includes an additional 4 gesturing palms on hinged pins. The palms are changed very easily, without heating, and they hold firmly and do not fall off by themselves.

Of course, there is a capacious functional backpack with a high-quality thematic print for collecting various interesting souvenirs that Alf will love to buy at Cosmic Con🎒

The Alpha shirt is made of printed material of medium density, does not stretch. The cute buttons add to the realism, and the velcro and turn of the shirt look very neat.

As for the figure itself, there are no complaints about the quality 💯👍🏼
Alf is quite the mannequin, standing just under 15cm tall, he is fully articulated, from complex head joints that allow him to change facial expressions, to loads of joints in his elbows, knees, hips, bones and feet. There is also a chest swivel.
The material of the figure is very good, resembles rubberized plastic, pleasant to the touch, heavy. All hinges work very smoothly and obediently, nothing cracks or falls off.
Information is circulating on the Internet that Neko figurines can have a specific smell. In our case, both the first and second Alphas do not have this problem.

For the sake of completeness of information and for the sake of curiosity, we decided to compare our two Alphas, because some differences are still present😎
We will compare with this release of the "home" Alfa.

At first glance, you can only notice the difference in the general coloring of the figurines and the difference in the coloring of the toenails. Subjectively - Alf from the yellow set (right) is a little heavier in the hand.

But there's one important point we couldn't help but notice: the fur on Alpha's legs on the left is a little shorter, which opens up more of the ball joint in the feet and thus gives a greater range of foot mobility.

Marking on the heels of both Alphas is completely identical:

Well, what can I say: definitely, two Alphas are better than one😁 Now there will never be boredom and silence on the doll shelves at all😂

Alphas really like earthly food, so it is not surprising that the two of them immediately began to caress the most bossy doll from the doll shelf of our team - Lucy😍🍔🍿
This is what Alphas look like next to a petite Barbie☺️

Neca certainly pleased Alf's fans with this great, exclusive release, but there are already announcements of another release in 2024, dedicated to Alf's love of Rock 🎸🎷🎤
So, let's look forward to it, because only three Alphas can be better than two Alphas😂

It is possible to find both Alphas from this review on AliExpress, the price, at the moment, is approximately 1200-1500 UAH.
Thank you for your attention and we hope that this review was not only useful, but also uplifting 🤩
