The figure looks beautiful and is a great update to the original. I have the 2014 release and the dome is colored white in the areas that are colored black-ish on this release (front and rear). Is one version more screen-accurate than the other? Great photo shoot by the way, Joe. Like Tony said, you really nailed the lighting and the look of the egg chamber from the first movie.

That said, I really have to address what is clearly a ongoing pattern of false advertisement on the part of NECA. For all of these ultimate re-releases they keep boasting about "all new sculpts." They even say it on the product description page this figure on their website:

We’ve given a deluxe upgrade to the Xenomorph known to fans as “Big Chap,” with an all-new sculpt standing over 9” tall.

Yet by Joe's own observations in his review, this is the exact same sculpt as the 2014 release. Why does NECA continuously insist on doing this? Claiming the sculpt is all new when it actually isn't seems like an underhanded way to entice people to buy the figure if the articulation update alone isn't enough for them.

Thoughts?
