I'm all for the as it appears in the movie look. Props are props. The way they look in a movie is what is the intended look. Blue, brown, whatever.

Downloaded the video to get better screen grabs:
Beauty.
Sadly I fear this may be HT's last xeno for a while. To a casual viewer it probably appears close enough to Big Chap enough though they're very different.
Did I hear him correctly when he said it "comes with two different jaws" ?
Maybe they really are an interchangeable part?

I heard that and it piqued my ears as well. I want to take this as confirmation.

@ronnieb555 and @Brokenhandpuppet - You guys didn't know about the interchangeable jaws or was it an oversight on your part? Now you both know from @Asta's reply back.
The only issue that I'm still unsure is the possibility of the slime on the sides of the mouth will or will not fall apart due to time.

I probably saw and forgot, lots of threads to keep track of.
He said two different jaws but I took as it he meant two different styles. He explicitly mentioned swap outs for the carapaces (the domes) only….
When the figure was first announced I was sure that there would be multiple jaws because of the seam line around the jaw, but the consensus was that it is actually 1 jaw that articulates with a rubber material.
There were quite a few pages of discussion about it originally.
I really do hope that it is 2 different plastic swap out jaws as not only will it last longer, but I think it will match the material of the rest of the head and look better.
No one is arguing anything ...to me, they will alway be blue.
I am not asking for someone else's opinion....I don't give 2 loads what anyone says or thinks....
They are, and always will be Black with blue highlights in Aliens.
Hans coat is blue
Michales jumpsuit is also blue

Finding this photo made me pretty stoked for the figure. It’s a better position for the mouth for me. I prefer it looking more menacing than having his inner jaw jutting out like so many of the other photos.

You can clearly see the seam in the Sideshow showcase for the two jaws.

It’s a great figure, I really like the evolution of Giger’s design on this one.
However you will never beat the original “Big Chap”.
There’s just something quintessentially Alien and disquieting about Giger’s original that will never be replicated.
