After their popular first two releases for Alien: Romulus with the Scorched Xenomorph and an accessory set, it seems NECA has more in store for us from the film.
Just announced for “Facehugger Friday” via their social media, we have a new Xenomorph figure on the way: the Ultimate Xenomorph XX121 figure! Essentially this is an awakened variation of the fossilized classic “Big Chap” Alien we see in the film.
Check out some images of the new figure below:
And here’s NECA’s description for the release:
From Fede Alvarez’s hit 2024 film, Alien: Romulus, comes the return of the famous Xenomorph that started it all! Roughly two decades after the events that occurred on the Nostromo, Xenomorph XX121 awakens to ravage more horror on the Romulus ship. Based on unreleased scenes from the film, this fully articulated concept action figure from NECA depicts the alien before its battle against the Weyland-Yutani security forces. After an intense firefight resulting in the alien’s demise, its acid blood burns a hole through the floor, suspending the alien in the ceiling of the ship’s lab.
This 7-inch scale Ultimate Xenomorph XX121 action figure features an articulated jaw, sliding inner jaw, and wired tail for posing. Accessories include multiple interchangeable hands, facehugger, and chestburster. Comes in collector-friendly window box packaging with opening front flap.
The wording above is interesting in that it implies deleted scenes where we actually see Big Chap during his rampage on the station before ultimately being taken out. As far as we know, however, no such scenes were filmed.
It’s really nice to finally be getting an entirely new Big Chap sculpt from NECA, rather than another retooling of their older Big Chap figures. The figure also includes interchangeable hands and facehugger & chestburster accessories.
The Ultimate Xenomorph XX121 figure is scheduled to ship in Q3 of this year. You can currently pre-order the figure on NECA’s website or on Big Bad Toy Store.

When returning mine I looked at the remaining stock and sure enough it was on the other 4 as well. Just another friendly warning to know this before purchasing one even though you have heard about the tail issues already I'm sure by now. For those who don't have a break, I guarantee you have at least several stress marks on the middle tail. Just be careful and put a mug of water in the microwave for 4 minutes and dip the tail in for 20 seconds before posing.

The design of the "new" Big Chap doesn't fit.
The tail is different, the head is different.
Yes, that's called nitpicking.
I prefer the old Big Chap version from NECA which is not true to the film either,
but looks more like Big Chap than the new design.
That way I won't have to destroy one making a custom.
That'll come in the inevitable repaint/damaged version of the figure.
Love these figures.
This needs an "unlike" button.
With the new tariffs being imposed on China (where our toys are made), look for a price jump coming soon.
Pretty sure I like it much more than the Ultimate Big Chap (but I was never super crazy about that one in the first place).
I've got a shelf full of Big Chaps that I can't wait to add this to though!
I never knew of any filmed scenes of the big chap that were deleted but they do a romulus prequel comic that does show what happened. Maybe he is based off that.? That was an enjoyable read.
You can see it in this video right after the 8:30 min mark.
I'm still waiting on my Scorched from BigBadToyStore however... I don't know what's taking it so dang long.
I'll have to customize one into the hanging dead Big Chap.
Absolutely nothing beats the ARTFX Big Chap for accuracy.
The other thing about this figure is that NECA usually uses scans or files of cg creatures when making their figures.
So, this new look may actually be from some deleted scenes in the movie.
Everyone would, but they refuse to make a truly good bigchap
I also like this, besides the small size of the ''tongue'' though.
