Pre-orders are up for the Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective series Alien figure, based on the ‘Big Chap’ design from the original film.
The 7 Inch deluxe figure includes an array of accessories such as two Facehuggers in unique poses, a Chestburster, three interchangeable inner mouths, open and closed eggs, a stand, six interchangeable hands and an interchangeable chest plate.
We’ve been waiting to hear about this figure for a little while, after it was initially announced at Toy Fair in early 2020.
Check out the full press release and image gallery below:
“In space, no one can hear you scream.”
The perfect organism, Alien joins the One:12 Collective!
The One:12 Collective Alien features an all-new seamless body designed with an internal skeleton armature that is durable yet highly posable. The hostile xenomorph is equipped with a hinged pharyngeal jaw and interchangeable inner mouths, as well as an interchangeable chest plate pierced by the ASSO-400 Harpoon Grappling Gun, as seen in the final scene of the movie.
Alien is fully loaded with film-accurate accessories including a coiled Facehugger that can fit over the heads of most other One:12 Collective figures, an open Facehugger, a Chestburster, and an open and closed Ovomorph egg.
The crew aboard the Nostromo are awakened from their cryo-sleep to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. After the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship, terror begins as they realize they are not alone.

I'm content with my 22-inch 2015 reissue NECA Big Chap. I'm still waiting for the perfect sculpt and paint detailing.
I don't think it'll ever happen. The "Big Chap" design is simply too intricate for anyone to completely nail from all angles.
Every ALIEN figure release has been lacking in one way or another.
This looks like a decent Alien to me, but I still think the most accurate Big Chap figure is the Mafex one: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/variationdetails/79247?gclid=Cj0KCQjws4aKBhDPARIsAIWH0JUGvmGM4NAjJLXE3BEtwRezvPHq3DbhglOtrV7M1C7NBypO99uwk0AaAmWpEALw_wcB
Though if you don't care about articulation, it's the Kotobukiya one: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/29243
The latter is difficult to find for MSRP these days.
Also the head/dome on this looks all kinds of wrong anyway and at $100 this thing should be perfect.
I can usually get Neca for $25-$30 here.
Prices must be insane in Australia lol
This actually seems like a f**king deal to me #Australian
To recreate the end of the movie when he gets harpooned:

The "hinged pharyngeal jaw" should be identified as a mandible; while the interchangeable inner mouths should be what is identified as three variants of the "pharyngeal jaw". Brilliant.
