Better photos of this are posted taken from Secret Base. Its much better, it has the brown highlights from the one displayed at the exhibitions. They really should replace whoever shot the official photos.

He posted over 50 photos!

These pictures make the jaw situation even more confusing as you can clearly see a seamline, I wish they would just tell us

According to Man of Hot Collectibles Hot Toys are waiting to see how the market reacts to the Scorched Xenomorph "...because they have plans of making two more characters within this line."

The forum won't allow the video to be embedded here, but the news begins at 15:26:

He got around to naming the two planned characters: Rain and the Offspring Hybrid.

He also said they're making Andy and are planning RoboCop 1 2.0 as well as the Ford Taurus car and are running into rights issues. Possibly renegotiating Weller's rights.

He first says they were cancelled but are coming now. Hot Toys also working on Jabba the Hutt.

More information: they wanted to make RoboCop from RoboCop 2 but they couldn't get the license.

Two figures from RoboCop 1 are coming and they're working on the police car rights.

They're also working on a life-size facehugger.

I hope it's a proper 2.0. I wonder what the second is. Damaged? Murphy? Ed-209? I doubt they'd actually do Lewis or Clarence.

I don't know whether he's full of it, as at the beginning he stressed twice that HT were planning "two" more figures (Rain and the Offspring), then near the end of the video he added Andy as well.

We all know these youtubers love to gain subscribers from insider knowledge. HT just released a reissue of Robo in the past 2 years, might not be true.

I see Alien, I preorder, but the prototype was far better in colours and texture.

Someone at Hot Toys needs to have a stern word with their artist responsible for recent bumpy texture sculpting, he's let loose and running wild lately.

KGH works out $50 cheaper ($302 + $64 shipping), though I don't have much trust in them any more and they can always increase the shipping price later unless you pay the whole lot up front.

Sideshow won't provide a delivery quote so it's hard to decide what's best. I have some Sideshow rewards and a $25 Thank You code so it may be just as well to go with them and hope that shipping isn't outrageous. They've generally been around $32 for regular figures so I'd estimate double.

Im from Europe so i dont order from Sideshow, get hit by hefty custom duties.
Kit is my go to but I might try KGH this time.

I’m literally waiting for Sugo Toys to list this so I can PO it! Can’t wait to have a 1/6 Xenomorph in the collection now it’s time they reveal the Jungle Hunter 2.0

And then add another 20% if you're outside of the US from Sideshow.

Still waiting on my Green Goblin upgraded suit from KGH, they're so slow it's unreal.

KGH's price is tempting but they went downhill. Their communication was always patchy; I don't trust them to declare the requested amount; they're liable to increase the shipping from the estimate unless you pay the full amount up front, and by a number of accounts they became very late receiving stock, and slow to ship it out when they did get it.


Sideshow could work out just as cheap or cheaper after some rewards and a code, even factoring in VAT. The last delivery I had from them was two Hot Toys and a heavy book in one box, for which they charged $45. So the Alien may only be $350 + VAT, less rewards and a code.
