It's an interesting piece, and the quality of workmanship is undeniable.
The problem with the piece, is that you've selected a very well known franchise and this piece, from a narrative perspective, fails in the same way as the recent Hot Toys figure of the same subject.
Something like this works based on the execution and theme, and the theme makes absolutely no sense. Is this an erotic cosplayer at the SDCC? Or is this an attempt to offshoot the Canon of the Aliens universe? It wasn't clear with Hot Toys and it's not clear here.
Is this simply a fetish piece, an opportunity to showcase the female form in something a little less obvious? Then it works.
