Even the non-Kenner releases nowadays are taking some aesthetic cues from that.

Firstly, welcome to the Ark!

I think some of the NECA Kenner homages work so well because they tone it down just a little to keep them colorful and a proper homage but also to add a little hint of "well maybe this could've been in a game or comic or maybe even the movie as a background predator." To me they're overall very fun but well integrated re-imaginings of the Kenner designs with a more "serious" approach. The predators are such an unknown species overall that it has a "who's to say" attitude with these characters so it works.
