That could be true, but if it is it wouldn’t make sense for them to re-sculpt it with the same articulation scheme as before with the swivel shoulders, single jointed elbows, and double jointed knee design. They would give it the updated articulation we’re seeing now on the 7in version.

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.
