Wow, so getting this. Pretty decent likeness to Paul Reiser, plus I never thought we'd get this figure so I'm pretty stoked. Hope there is a 2nd head that doesn't have the crapped pants expression (though that is a killer head sculpt).

The domed Alien Warrior is a nice touch, though people are already confused about it. Haha.

My understanding (though I am not a Xenomorph expert) is that the rigged headed Xenomorphs are Warriors from a hive, and the domed heads are more like workers/drones, like what we saw in Alien and Alien 3. Though I could be very wrong.

Real reason, due to filming conditions, Cameron feared the domes would crack. So the underneath was redesigned to look more interesting and the domes removed. The adolescent Warriors would still have domes tho, with adults shedding them.

See I thought I had read that before, that as the get older they form the ridges and that it was Cameron's reasoning, but thought that was later debunked. I read it on the internet so I was probably just misinformed. Either way, this is a great set, I'm for sure getting it.

Holy fart biscuits! This is phenomenal! I've started doing some customs & that Burke body might warrant me getting about 5 of these 2 packs.

Totally! I love all the NECA custom potential fodder coming out recently. The Preacher figures are great for customs, now this. If only they'd do a suit body.

Also, Burke! How crazy is that! I was less enthused for Aliens Series 12, but this renewed my faith in the series. Here's hoping for an Apone and Drake soon...

Yeah, I heard the same thing. Cameron was going to go with the domes but switched for practical filming purposes.

So essentially, this would be considered another "concept figure," then? Either way, it looks sweet, and the Hadley's Hope sign just seals the deal. I love it.

I'm honetly not sure how NECA would classify it. Unlike the other concept figures, this one is still technically in continuity.

That Burke figure is pretty cool looking.

At first I thought they were redoing Big Chap, which would have been weird to come with Burke, but that makes even less sense now as at least Big Chap was a movie character.

GREAT Burke figure! Especially since that's how Paul Reiser looks EVERY time he talks!

Very cool of Paul Reiser to accept doing this and very good work from NECA's sculptor(s) to capture his likeness, especially with such a terrific expression.

Just a thing of beauty. Paul is one of the best stand up comedians of all time and was fantastic in Aliens! Guy deserves an awesome figure!
