Final in-packaging photos have been released for the upcoming Alien: 40th Anniversary – Ultimate 7″ Scale Big Chap Alien Figure. The figure has an updated sculpt with all-new articulation. It also includes an Egg, a Facehugger, and a Chestburster. It begins shipping out in early 2020. See the new photos after the jump.
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original 1979 movie that shocked audiences and jump-started a legendary film franchise!
We’ve given a deluxe upgrade to the Xenomorph known to fans as “Big Chap,” with an all-new sculpt standing over 9” tall. It has a hinged jaw that opens, revealing an inner mouth that extends for realistic movie action. It has over 30 points of articulation, including double knee joints and a bendable tail, and extra attention has been paid to all the eerie details that made H.R. Giger’s designs for Alien so mesmerizing.
Also included are chestburster and facehugger accessories and—for the very first time—the 1979 egg, which has a tentacled base. Display-friendly window box packaging with opening flap.

Other than the dome color, I don't see what the difference is.
Dear NECA:
Cash grab much?
Cash grab much?
A lot of whining on this thread.
I'm pumped for this. Ultimate articulation, new hugger and burster sculpts, that egg is really cool looking. I wonder if there will be new egg cartons with the tendril base eggs and these facehuggers.
Wait a minute are the fingers for the facehugger bendable? they have different angles in the pics.
It's about time they revealed this. Looks like some added articulation and a new paintjob. The dome looks better, and and the new facehugger, egg, and chestburster look spot on.
My biggest concern however is quality control. Neca has not had the best track record when it comes to xenos, especially the big chap. I never picked up the wave 2 big chap because there were so many reports of breakages and defects. I never saw a trace of the walmart reissue, and even those had problems if I remember correctly.
I really need a 79 alien for my collection. I've had to make due with using a modified isolation alien, but it's just not right. I really hope this turns out.
Been waiting for this. As soon as it's on BBTS I'm on it.
While this is a great looking figure the sculpt is hardly new on it.
This figure is basically a repaint of the Aliens series 11 Kenner Blue Big Chap figure. That figure had the new ultimate articulation with the double jointed elbows, lack of biceps swivels, bendable rail with swivel joint, and new double knee joint figures long before this was released.
I also wish we had a closed Alien egg to go with it. That would be the only other accessory I think this figure needs to really be ultimate.

This pack could have been more of an ultimate if they packed in the actors head.
Ok..ok..what's The blood draw on this figure ? ? Any one know ?? I need a big alien after my mother threw my original one out the 9th floor window �� when i was a kid at my uncle (yes im in therapy for this figure)��
Cash grab much?
Anyone have issues with the waist articulation on the series 2 Big Chap? Mine is all floppity. That might be reason enough to consider this, if I can find it for a reasonable price.

Have this in-hand, and working on the gallery.
Other than paint job, is there anything different about this version of Big Chap compared to the one I already have?
Judging from the pics, there is a slight wash on the figure and the egg has a different mold. I don't have the egg pack they came out with a while back so I couldn't tell you if it's reused from any of those molds.
I have whatever version has the milky white accurate dome.
