I suspect my dio is going to need to expand. Right now this is how it sits. The eggs will help flesh it out and I will work on a better backdrop I think. Overall it will simply have to become a bigger shelf! I will need to upgrade eventually...

Alien Isolation... https://twitter.com/NECA_TOYS
Did the isolation bug have that overly muscular neck? Or did they mix a "requiem" head into that pic as well?

Nope it didn’t. That does look like a new requiem head. Man if we get an updated AvP R Alien before Wolf people are gonna be mad
When they said they were going to shuffle some stuff to do isolation I didn’t expect to see any progress so soon.

A load of Alien things have been mentioned on twitter lately and just thought to share a couple:
1) Alien Isolation wave will not include a "Working Joe" as "would require 100% new sculpt & tooling which we cannot do atm".
2) I asked: "As far sales go atm, can us Aliens fans expect the line to have long legs like Predator?"
Randy's Reply: "yes"
So a bit of bad news, with a great bit of good news. In regards to the Working Joe I reckon we will see it one day probably in an second Isolation wave, but this first foremost counts on the line having long legs.

Hello,
This my first posting at Sideshow Freaks. I am a huge Alien Fan and really like this forum with it's discussions.
I just read the last pages in this thread and I want to add a short information about the question, why the Xenomorph in Alien:Isolation has those strange looking legs.
It was in an interview with one of the CA designer but sadly I do not have the link at hand.
He said, one big problem was to fit the tall Xenomorph into the narrow and flat/low designed corridors and chambers at Sevastopol. Fully erected the original Alien design would break through the ceiling in more then 50% of the environment and so normaly would need to crawl for moving forward.
By inserting an additional "ankle-joint", they enabled the animators to level/adjust the height of the Alien in relation to the environment. So the legs fold in but the upper torso remains erected when needed.
The two images on page 678 explain it well. The upper image shows the Alien with legs in "crouched" mode while moving through a standard room.
On the second image, outtaken from the scripted final scene of San Cristobal, it is more elevated as the reception-hall has a very high ceiling.

the queen is simply beautiful.
One of them will probably be Amanda Ripley.
Edit: Some nice discussion of Possible Alien Resurrection figures here by NECA, looks like for now Randy is only interested in the Xeno from Resurrection.

I expect to see new legs on the same old "big chap" body (which they will call the Isolation Alien) and perhaps a new head on 79 Ripley's body (which they will paint differently and call it Amanda). I think the 3rd figure from that wave/series will be something random like the Requiem 2.0 or A:R warrior.

Yeah pretty much bro, and to match up with the awesome NECA queen. I have 6 or 7 each or all the other colors, and the big chap, but now I'm realizing I only really need the blue for my setup. I have a few old pics from when I only had 6 blues, still have to work all the others in. Also wanna customize a marine out of extra Hicks and Windrix figures I have.. someday!
I imagine close to the same scene but with a wall of blue Aliens behind and around the queen
Very nice...those blues look great with the Queen.
