QuotePersonally I don't like it. The translucence is far too...out there to me. I prefer the design they settled on.
They tried it with the facehugger aswell, but this version had little spines/spikes on it. You can see Giger working on it in the Quad features. In the end the verison we see in the film is best, it wasnt even going to be the colout it was in the final film either. The latax turned that colour and Ridley liked the way it looked and kept it.
