BTW, this entire assortment looks awesome. That alien's tongue/probe/whatever the hell is going to give me nightmares. I don't wanna know where that goes.

Actually, I lied above- I DO wanna know what the hell that alien's probe tongue thing is for! I Googled it but I can't find anything.
It's not for deep tissue massage, that's for sure. |

The drone is a small albino version of the Alien creature.
Where the warrior has a set of striking teeth within its head, the drone has an excreting probe, like an organic stucco-gun.

Read up on it a bit since the announcement. Was part of Cameron's original script for the Hive Warriors. Supposed to have long, probe like inner mouths as opposed to the snapping inner jaws. He abandoned it because he didn't think the translucent drones worked in-universe.

Did Neca ever get the likeness rights to Apone?

I really don't want that albino alien, but the other two are tempting. I guess we'll see what they are going for at retail.
Still waiting for the Alien 3 wave to come out so I can get another shot at that dog alien. |

We don't know yet. I suppose it's possible that they could have them now since they didn't have Jenette Goldstein's rights before but do now so they could have Al's rights too but if they do then they're keeping it secret for a reveal instead of just saying "hey we have Al's rights." I assume they would be like the worker ants as opposed to the warrior ants, using Hudson's analogy. Not fighters but hive-makers, although I imagine they could probably still kill people with their tails, claws, outer teeth, or even using that proboscis appendage for a rather unsettling kill.

The albino alien is a neat concept. I think I would use it more on the lines of a dead or maybe even stone sculpt alien. Like an ancient display of a race of aliens. Could see using 2 of them as pillar displays. But I dont know about the tongue. Hopefully removable but it not, I think I'd have to remove it.

Thread cleaned up. There was no need to have it derail as far as it did. There's an ignore function, I suggest people begin using it.

Without wishing to get involved, just for the curious, here's some slight Arcturian details
Arcturian - Xenopedia - Wikia Arcturian - Xenopedia - Wikia On the figures themselves, pure win. I especially love the Albino Alien, totally creepy. I'd no idea the concept existed. Also bodes well for some of the Aliens that have appeared in the DC comics crossovers and the like. I didn't get an answer from Randy when I asked around that - twice. That may or may not mean something lol. |

I do remember him saying he'd like to eventually hit on some of the crossover comic designs. But would be way off. They have Aliens planned out through 2017 already.

Ditto. Seeing weird animal hosts blended into a Xeno is always fun. The Mantis and Gorilla Aliens were always my favorites and I can only imagine how amazing NECA's versions will look.

The way it has the mouth "appendage" really reminds of the smoker from the Left 4 Dead games. I'd say that this is one of those effectively cool designs that didn't make it into the movie for valid reasons but still would've fit in very well with H.R. Giger's works. I know Giger didn't care for the Aliens warriors' ridged bony heads redesign/re-purpose but I think he would have appreciated this thing's aesthetic.

Yeah, I like it too, for the authenticity. I guess it's the same reason I like Big Chap.

I wonder how long it will take before some overbearing PC Parent complains about the phallic appendage dangling from that Xeno's mouth, causing it (and possibly NECA's Alien Series) to be removed from TRUs for good? Especially since the tip of it bears a strong resemblance to the "red rockets" found on the anatomy of male dogs...
