Alien's body is covered with soft skin similar to Dutch.

Looks great.

But, if I were you, I wouldn't open it's mouth anymore.

That mouth tendon is about to snap!

Thanks for posting all the pics. Love Hot Toys' packaging!

This figure has taken a lot of flak, but the final product looks pretty nice to me. Yes, the mouth/head is still off by quite a bit, but otherwise it's a nice package. I think this will become quite collectable when it sells out.

If Hot Toys had improved the head, this could have been a winner.

Hi sabres21768, I did notice the mouth tendon when I posted the photos. It is clearly a design flaw, because the mouth only has been opened 3 times.
Here is what I think about the product,
Pro:

Looks cool
Lots of details
Correct height
Metal screw on the wrist joint
Come with
Environmental display base
Pre-assemble

Con:

Not movie accurate
Weak mouth tendon
Prototype looks much better than the actual product, especially on skin color and base.
Packaging can be better

Overall, it is a great product. It could be even better if Hot Toys includes a chest buster or a face hugger in the package.

Thanks for all the pics, Jimbo. A lot of effort put into it. You must love your Hot Toys!

Wow, Hot Toys did a great job of failing on the simplest of all Alien designs.

Keep up the good work Hot Toys! Money saved once again! :D

I love Hot Toys and especially the Predators. I've bought a couple of aliens but had problems with them both and have never really been able to get into the look of them like I have with the Predators.

Great pics! Makes it look really nice. Congrats.

Can it really hold this pose? It could make me a believer, along with that excellent base. Thanks for the review!

That's what I plan to do, and it hides the mouth area which is weak.

Where did you get the photo? My Alien cannot pose that that, because its waist cannot bend that far.

This review where someone noticed the base details include recast legs from a Star Wars AT-AT. (http://www.thehiveforum.net/forum/index.php?topic=7086.150)

IF I have to break any innards to get that pose I will.
It's almost like it's hiding it's inaccurate face in shame. LOL

It's not that bad though, just expected better from Hot Toys.
