Tried my best for an accurate colour with my non existent photoshop skills, original is lacking black too though so still looks rubbish.
Looks very similar to this though:

That's my mate Gareth! I used to go bugging with him at conventions dressed also as a xenomorph lol

Maybe
If it can do this, then I can live it
You know, looking at that side by side, I have to give props to HT, they actually did re-sculpt the whole thing.
The arms, hands, feet and head we had all noticed before, but I hadn't seen the detail on the lower legs, they actually changed it to be accurate to the Aliens version.
You can also see that the tail is slightly different, with the more prominent vertebrae, and the fifth spike on the back is different as well.
So, kudos to HT! Well done!
I still won't buy it, but praise where it's due.
yep! now it's a definite must buy for me. will have to ignore the inaccuracies, won't be any other 1/6 alien for a long time, and posing it in some threatening poses will hide them anyway.i think the prototype looks much better than those official photos!

It is Hot Toys after all. I don't see them reusing the wrong body from an old figure and just putting another head on it. I don't see any inaccuracies at the moment that isn't for the best... But maybe I give them too much praise.

Man, am I pumped for this! I've been dangerously close to spending way too much on a second-hand Big Chap on eBay. Now, in perfect timing, this baby arrives! Praise Heebus! Truth be told I'm not an Alien afficionado like some of you guys, so I have no idea how screen accurate it is or isn't. But I love the first two Alien flicks and love H.R. Giger's work, so I can't wait to display this beauty next to my upgraded Classic Predator. Only problem now is, with the new TG Endoskeleton already preordered, it only makes sense to get RoboCop so I can have a proper AvP, RvT display. Oh damn...

I wish HT would have included a 1/6 egg or facehugger.

You get what you pay for. Neca is a decent value for the money, as long as you don't look at them up close, that's when you realize why they're so much cheaper. I think this completely new figure will be worth every penny and no matter how closely I examine it, it will be gorgeous and flawless. The paintwork alone on this figure looks to be worth the price of admission. That's why the cost of Hot Toys is always worth it to me and why no other company of mass-produced collectibles even comes close to their quality and craftsmanship.

I agree. NECA is great value but when you pick it up and examine it it's a big piece of plastic. I totally get why people choose NECA but for me I rather buy less and buy what I consider the best.

I agree, we desperately need some 1/6 eggs! Maybe when they do the Queen, she'll come with a bunch.

Seems like the HT theme is pay more for less...
Seems to be the trend these days, especially when I buy DiD figs which are overloaded with accessories.
Looks awesome!
I had a lot of the original Hot Toys ALIENS/Alien/etc. figures and they were FANTASTIC at the time. It's good to see that Hot Toys has been re-visiting some of their original classics and re-doing them with new 2.0 versions (like the AVP Predators). Unfortunately, I'm past re-collecting all my past Alien/Predator stuff but I'm sure glad to see this for my fellow collectors and fans who are still waiting patiently for Hot Toys to deliver.
The biggest issue is going to be the same as before: How will this rubber hold up with the paint and time? Has Hot Toys addressed that yet?

How different is this Alien (1986) from the Xenomorph in Alien (1979)?
Height, design, etc.

i wish they made the poo/brown version 2.0 too. i like that version better.
and seeing its still rubber they used...this is Hot to the effin Toys.
we got screwed with ED209 same dome rubber issues.
its pretty safe to say that rubber is ****ed too.
same rule applies for HT xenos, invest in modge podge. use glossy not dull for xenos.
Unless someone else wants to type it all out, I suggest you Google it. Plenty of information detailing the differences.
