Should you bother finding this NECA ALF figure?
Рет қаралды 15,426
Жыл бұрынNECA's latest Alien Life Form, ALF, comes in Ultimate form with plenty of accessories.
The 80s sitcom about a cranky alien hiding in a local family's garage after crash-landing on our planet hit all the right notes with a generation, and now ALF steps into the spotlight as NECA's newest Ultimate action figure.

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.

@@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.
