The Kenner line wasn't meant for curmudgeonly, perfectionist fans with stratospheric expectations of the product line, It was meant to go along with a kids' cartoon show.



You realize that I can love them and think they're shit at the same time right? Case in point, I spent dozens of hours making these in homage to the Kenner stuff. But going all out on the [host] features instead of the Alien features is silly as f**k, nostalgia aside.

@[CANCERBLACK]: I get it. Cool figures! Thanks for sharing the pictures.  :)

@SM: I got the clear Ambush Predator on a mail-in. That's a weird figure. I don't think it was ever released in a blister.

Nice take on the bull alien.The fancy tips may impede the horns' stabbing function.

Huggs

That looks awesome.

Disagree. Artist is clearly very talented but it's really poor as an Alien design for a lot of reasons.

SM

Yep.

Looks like something from Hellboy.  It's moved a fair way from looking like an Alien.

SiL

If you told me that was a completely unique design unrelated to Alien I wouldn't bat an eye.

The reboot Hellboy, at that. :-X

Yeah, I don't enjoy discouraging anyone but it's totally inappropriate for Alien.

I kinda like the gums (weird thing to notice, I know) because it vaguely evokes the nostrils of a bull without just slapping a pair of bull nostrils on an alien. But everything else... eh. I wish they'd concentrate on xeno-fying the skeletons on the animals in the same way The Big Chap was extrapolated from a human skeleton. Especially other bovine skeletons, since they look f**king WEIRD:



In other words, the xeno should look as much like the animal as the original design looks like a human. ^ Imagine that, but Giger-fied. I think it could work.

I personally believe the Alien ought to only get as different as the human born (Alien/Aliens) to animal born. (Alien³)

All vaguely humanoid.

The Alien is host genetic domination.
Uncompromised perfection.
The "DNA reflex" is a survival mechanism, so the body structure formed is analogous for survival.  i̶d̶e̶n̶t̶i̶c̶a̶l̶
The "Runner" E.G, is a beautiful design.

No protrusions, it's aerodynamics' perfect.
It inherits a quadrupedal stance.
̶b̶i̶p̶e̶d̶a̶l̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶n̶c̶e̶

The logical conclusion.
A tough protrusion's a hindrance.
As Isolation depicts the entire Alien form is pliant, through tight areas.

A exterior protrusion serves no purpose if it's a offensive or defensive mechanism, because if it's pliant it's by definition; not sharp.
The tail, claws and inner jaw exists regardless.

Basically, always seven-eight feet, always phallic, always limber and always erotic.
It's why the Kenner designs or anything like them never belong on film,
It's why every PredAlien design has been a failure,
aside from arguably the Dave Dorman one if you omitt the hair.

I'd love to see the bull design in a tongal short. If we can have the pa kettle body and anus mouths of the neomorph in a Hollywood production, why not something a little more..."horny" as it were?   ;)

Because the Neomorph's a Alien ancestor, imperfection's appropriate.

The final Alien is consistent, and always nearly identical.
The difference between the original Alien, Aliens' adult and Alien³'s adult is the correct amount of variation.
Beyond that? It starts getting ridiculous, and inelegant.

Huggs

It...could...work!!!!
