1/6 Hot Toys MMS784 Alien: Romulus - Scorched Xenomorph

[Mr.Tanker]

I would love to see these sell well enough for Hot Toys to give us some new stuff from Aliens—even just a Ripley and a warrior—but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I hope so too. For Aliens, I just want Ripley and the Power Loader. Newt and the Queen alien would be unrealistic, unfortunately.

Nah, don't get one for Ripley, save your money and the space. Figure looks great but it's the wrong alien for Ripley.

How do people tell the differences between the aliens? To me it's always dark and I can't tell what colors the Aliens should be? Are they brown, black, blue or gray? I honestly don;t know. I notice I don't notice every little details in movies, no matter how much I watch.

There are people who can tell you every tiny difference between all the versions, but the simplest is that the alien from Alien (Big Chap) has human ankles and a clear dome.

James Cameron got rid of the clear dome, but those aliens (Warrior) were still people in rubber suits, and had human ankles.

Aliens 3 introduced digitigrade (inverted) legs. That is typically referred to as Dog Alien.

Modern Alien movies are a weird cross between the original Big Chap and Dog Alien.

(edit: actually, I think the queen introduced digitigrade legs.)

To add onto Mr.Tanker the three main movies being Alien, Aliens and Alien 3 there are changes in the dome like the traditional clear dome from 1979 alien, then the ribbed dome is an easy difference to find. Then Alien 3 is like a brown alien that runs on all 4 like a dog, where the facehugger had impregnated the doge. Personally, the dome is the easiest identifier for me.
