You also have to be so careful with the tail, one of my Xenos had its tail snap in two places even after heating it in hot/warm water. It was a stress mark from packaging that fractured the metal and plastic.
Oh no! That's a major bummer. I didn't have to do any heat treatment to my figure, but that's not to say others didn't have to. Sorry to hear that, and I'll definitely be careful when posing my tail on mine. Thank you for the heads up!
Wow, I don't think I remember a moment in the movie where we really got a impression of the size of the Alien in Romulus. The figure set looks amazing, can't wait to get ahold of it.
They never really show the full scale of the Xenomorph in Romulus, but it was indeed big from what I saw in person of the puppet at Legacy Effects! Hope you enjoy the figure once you get it!
I think I like this disgin more than the 1979 big chap. Am looking forward to future alien films from Fede Álvarez. Definitely going to pick this guy up.
Love the review, I give your photography a centillion/10. I ordered Ultimate Scorched Xenomorph from the NECA website about two weeks ago. I am still waiting for the shipping notification.
I really enjoyed your Alien Romulus figure review! I have one pre-ordered from Entertainment Earth for Jan/25. I have a ton of McFarlane, NECA and Hiya Alien figures. I even have the Halcyon Alien Queen model kit from 1992.
Hopefully EE gets it out sooner for you, but if not, it’s totally worth that wait! That’s a very impressive collection by the sounds of it, especially the Halcyon Queen!!!
Great review, and thanks for the suggestion for the acrylic stand for the cocoon! Any suggestions for a good stand for the xenomorph? The one that's included is a bit short.
I don't have any suggestions for another stand for the Xenomorph. But mine that came with the set felt like the right size as it sits perfectly at the base of the tail in the crotch area with how I pose mine. There are a bunch of different toy stands out there though, maybe check out Kaiser stands, or even this one, which I have a few of myself: a.co/d/hFkDKVu
Beautiful shots man. I know I will get crucified for this but I think the NECA is superior to the HOT TOYS prototype as far as color accuracy and choice of materials! The translucent areas are just amazing as your photos prove. I wish this was 1/6 scale.
Hi! I appreciate you asking! I charge for licensing fee on my images for something like this. If you are interested in paying the fee, please email me at hi@mikemonaghan.photography and we can work out the details. Thank you!
Sorry you haven't got yours yet! I know they are sending them out in waves. My buddy got his a whole two weeks before mine even shipped. Hopefully yours comes soon!
@MikesMonsters thanks for your optimism. But I doubt it. I'm giving up at this point. I've re-ordered it from BBTS as I know they're reliable. If it ever arrives from NECA I'll just sell it on Ebay.
I wish I had that one still, but I sold my AR Xeno a few years ago when I was tight on cash. But I bet they are closer to the same, with Scorched probably being a bit larger still!
Neca did AMAZING with the design and paint job. They should do all their ultimate packaging like this
They kicked a lot of butt with this one. I hope they keep it up with future releases!
From what I see, one of the most beautiful Neca figure, if not the best
I definitely agree!
Design wise, this and isolation are my favorite xeno drone designs in all of alien
Those are great choices!
The Big Chap cocoon is so cool. I just want that.
Good thing you can pick up the accessory set on its own and get that Big Chap!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR TAKE ON THIS!!!! Incredible video!!
Thank you for waiting! There was a slight delay due to family coming into town, but it's done now! I'm glad you watched and enjoyed!!!
Wowowow ! So many colors and details that you actually can’t see in the movie ! 😨
Yeah! It's quite a cool color scheme! Shame we don't get the best look at it in the film itself.

That is a bold claim! I think you're the first I've heard who likes him more than Big Chap! Hope you enjoy the figure when you pick it up!

I appreciate you a centillion amount of times! Hope you get your Xeno soon!

6:00 I'm completely agree with you. It's the best to be honest.
It's a huge step up from the others they've made. Definitely the best!
I can't wait to ad that to my collection🤩
Hope you dig it once you get it!
Fantastic looking figure!
It’s truly great!
I love its spider like hands
It’s a large contrast from the normal bulky fingers
I completely agree!!
Looks great. Not arrived uk yet ❤
Hopefully you are able to get it over there soon!
This Alien is gonna come in real handy for stopmotions
It moves really well and will be awesome for stop motion!
@@MikesMonsters Good, because I got a big Alien one planned, it’s gonna take a few years to come out. I’m gonna buy at least 6 of these for it.

Subbed, got mine coming in the mail
My first neca figure
Thank you for being here! I hope you enjoy this figure, especially it being your first from NECA!
They better make a Offspring figure, they’d be silly not too.
I bet we will see one in the future! But don’t quote me on that!
The Facehuggers Are also black because in the movie there is a scene where some Facehuggers Are being pumped with black goo i think
Beautiful shots man. I know I will get crucified for this but I think the NECA is superior to the HOT TOYS prototype as far as color accuracy and choice of materials! The translucent areas are just amazing as your photos prove. I wish this was 1/6 scale.
You're allowed to feel however you feel! I would love it they made a larger scale version as well!
I love your shots
Really appreciate it! Thank you!
I had 4 of these that had the tail wire break. Some tails splitting too
Dope. Want.
I bet you'll love it! Hope you get them!
Can I use that xeno vs pred for a video thumbnail
Hi! I appreciate you asking! I charge for licensing fee on my images for something like this. If you are interested in paying the fee, please email me at hi@mikemonaghan.photography and we can work out the details. Thank you!
What is the stand you used for holding the scorched alien up?
It came with the figure.
Where did you get this figure? I've been desperately searching for it.
I mentioned in the video that I preordered it from NECA’s website.
I pre-order just the xeno. Mine doesn’t have the blue in the dome.
The blue in my photos is just creative lighting. Do you have the little blue bits of color around the cracks?
@ I do not! 😐
Fucking NECA haven't bothered sending mine. Despite I pre-ordered them back in August as well. Numerous emails have had no response.
Sorry you haven't got yours yet! I know they are sending them out in waves. My buddy got his a whole two weeks before mine even shipped. Hopefully yours comes soon!
@MikesMonsters thanks for your optimism. But I doubt it. I'm giving up at this point. I've re-ordered it from BBTS as I know they're reliable. If it ever arrives from NECA I'll just sell it on Ebay.
Yeah I ordered mine July 31st and still haven’t got it yet. Really sucks.
Compare it to the Alien Resurrection xeno. Bet you they're the same height.
Dhunter did a comparison and they are a very similar height, I think Scorched is a bit bulkier tho!
I wish I had that one still, but I sold my AR Xeno a few years ago when I was tight on cash. But I bet they are closer to the same, with Scorched probably being a bit larger still!
Blow Dryer on jaw it will straighten up
Yep! I meant to add that in the video but totally forgot.
I’m never buying from NECA ever again
