[Asta]

This has to be a seamline for a swappable jaw right?...right?

It looks like it.

I previously enlarged that section in one of the earlier photos:

This is coming home... Hopefully, we get an Aliens Ripley now.

Gotta admit, I'm liking the NECA figure more...

Is the NECA figure 1/6th scale?

 

[dantes2501]

Yeah, it looks like the texture on this figure is made to emulate the Xeno being burnt. It says it is scorched, after all. So it's different from the proto they showed before.

I can't recall how the Xeno got scorched in the movie, does anyone remember?

When the Alien is in it’s cocoon and Bjorn rams the cattle prod in to it and is electrocuting while it’s inside the cocoon and cracks the dome etc

He was a scorched crackhead from birth...

It would make sense if the the proto was an un-scorched Xenomorph, though it was displayed with the cracked dome which identifies him as the Scorched Xenomorph.

The one going into production has both cracked and undamaged domes, even though its dome was cracked when it hatched.

Either that's a Hot Toys error or they're just giving the option to create a different alien.


They could release the original proto as a generic alien with the undamaged dome and blue tinged shoulder tubes.

(I think they actually might, which would explain why Sideshow's "Coming Soon" still has the 'Alien (Xenomorph)' listed, even though a version of it has gone up for pre-order).

Looks great. I’ve wanted an Xeno to go with my Ripley and while not exactly the Big Chap this should do the job.

 

[OmarColeccionador]

Yes, hope for Ellen Ripley

That’s correct, I did some research and that’s exactly it. Both figures are the same “hero” Xenomorph. So to check which of the paint schemes is more accurate, we should rewatch the movie.

I've been playing the movie through but it's hard to tell due to the lighting.

A random alien:

The clearest indication I've seen that an un-scorched alien has blue tubes is the smooth domed animatronic:

Woooo! Finally an Alien in my collecting lifetime please please let this be the first of many

I bet WY secretly run the space drug trade too

 

[Space Jockey]

Looks great, I'll be ordering it. Hopefully they'll tone down the heavy texture a bit too.

Is the NECA figure 1/6th scale?

No no, I just meant the overall look of the NECA seems better to me.

Here's a shot of the "Scorched Xenomorph practical suit":

I stole this composite from OSR:

Even accounting for different lighting there's more sculpted detail in the latest photos. The top of the arm is what stood out

Hmmm I liked it significantly more before. The original paint deco looked far more premium.

 

[Dave_W]

Yeah this looks a lot more monochrome now
