I remember buying the original quarter scale big chap-at a discount-and that thing just about breaking right out of the box. Still tho, I'm kinda interested lol..

Is that really an "all-new sculpt"...? My girlfriend has the quarter-scale prototype Xeno (the light-colored one) and I don't see any difference.

It isn’t. if anything it may have a slightly better range of movement and a swivel where the bendable tail begins, but other than that it looks to be a rerelease if anything.

Exactly. So if that's the case, isn't claiming "all-new sculpt" actually blatantly false advertising?

It could technically be an all new sculpt, but since the details are so similar (for obvious reasons) you couldn't tell til it's in hand. In fact, their first Robocop was done by Kyle Windrix and the spring-loaded holster Robocop was done by Thomas Gwyn, but unless you held them side by side you probably wouldn't notice any differences, just because they're based on the same character

In fact, in many cases when NECA updates an older figure it’s not becuase it was inaccurate, it’s usually to pack more accessories and articulation. NECA’s 79 movie alien has been screen accurate for years. I could be wrong, but I doubt this version has a detail the previous 1/4 didn’t have. |

My childhood comic shop had the original version on display by the cash register. Used to scare the crap outta me. I didn't know anything about it other than it was really scary and leaning out at people as the customer waited for his carbon-paper receipt.
Yes. dirty, messy carbon paper... now scarier than any alien!

I too have the first release. Glued in many spots. Do I need this just for the box? Yes, yes I do.
