1/6 Hot Toys MMS784 Alien Romulus - Scorched Xenomorph

[nm.ct]

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

Overthinking it at this point. Yes there is a clear seam. But I think it's also clear now that it is not a swap out part. They would have advertised it with a bunch of their buzzwords if it was silicone or had swap out parts. "Interchangeable newly devloped outer jaw" or "Interchangeable newly devloped silicone jaw".

The seam is more than likely there because the majority of the jaw/mouth piece is made of rubber and is glued onto the rest of the head

The animatronic looked taller...

...but it's not Scorched.

I think I read somewhere Scorched was shorter as he wasn't fully grown when he was rudely awakened by the stun gun.

I have no idea what that crazy giant alien is, but it seems to have affected HT...

I would much rather if they made and engineer figure instead of the offspring but hey, maybe neither will get made

I didn’t realize this thread was here. Looks like I’m late to the party.

Ahahaha exact same thing happened to me

This ain’t no Big Chap (would’ve rather had a 2.0 of that), but I really liked this Scorched alien and actually loved Romulus (despite the criticisms) and want to represent that film. I’d love Rain and Andy too (never happening).

I’m glad they enhanced it to what it looked like before for the initial early prototype. Only thing I wish is that the stripes on the shoulder ridges were more prominent. I’m also relieved they made the inner jaw to be retractable - that was going to be a deal breaker for me. I just prefer what the alien looks like without the inner jaw extended out!

Initial Prototype vs Official Prototype

Official Proto vs Legacy Effects animatronic

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.

Where’s Dante getting this from? In my experience, these guys talk like they have inside scoops when most of the time, they’re don’t know anything and the rumor doesn’t even pan out.

He was reading from his phone, and will be revealing more in tomorrow's video. Big announcements apparently.

 

[Life_m2000]

I want Ripley and Queen, lol. Hope that rumor is true!

 

[HyperDrive]

I just watched his two prior videos where he talks about new announcements, releases, and rumors coming up and most of it hasn’t even panned out in the last two months. He was correct on like 35% of the releases, but those were projected to release in this time window, so… yeah, it’s not anything we didn’t know already. He also proceeds by saying he has a source, but then he’s like “but take it with a grain of salt!” Idk, this guy is just talking out of his bum, imo.

This was posted on KGH's FB group yesterday:



The latest response is an indication that nothing's changed at KGH:





I'm undecided who to order from. I always prefer ordering from Kit since he's so good, though he's more expensive than expected this time, no doubt due to the big box shipping calculation.

I could get it cheaper from Sideshow unless they decide to go overboard with the shipping cost, but then it's wasting reward points that would better be saved for something that's an exclusive.


Kit's keeping the pre-order window open until 20th December, so there's time to wait and see what two of the local companies price him at.

If you find anywhere cheaper than KGH please let us know.

I am fine with the monochrome colour, if indeed it is like that on the final product but only because I have waited many years for an Alien figure

 

[Wor-Gar]

Hope the Jabba rumor is true. Doubt anyone could confirm that short of a preview. HT is pretty good at keeping things quiet.

A new Ripley from Alien and a 2nd Ripley from Aliens. Throw in the 2 Xeno types and a Queen. We'd be spoiled and broke

 

[Raνen]

Hope the Jabba rumor is true.

So I should hold off on the Sideshow Jabba?

I’d be on for all of those! Haha

 

[nekromantik]

i never owned a 1/6 Xeno so will be my first.
Usually takes a few days after US POs for UK ones to appear so probably be able to order it on Monday.
Long wait though Q4 2025 to Q1 2026
