The xenomorph from covenant was originally called the protomorph , but idk if it still is, but the designers of the protomorph wanted it to look more organic instead of being biomechanical looking, but im glad they kept some of the original bio tubes on the back, the figure matches what they went for, i hope ridley scott continues to show the evolution and biological world of the xenos
It doesn’t make sense because they were laughing at the aliens in avp and then did it I guess the only way to think about it if the aliens in avp were protomorphs
It is probably the best alien neca ever made from the color to detail the tail again is helpful with standing and the best review ive seen on this alien
The Xenomorph looks really awesome in figure form. The amount of details as well as the sculpt are really well done. Thanks a lot Spot. I greatly appreciate it!
@@elfercho1147 man I just ordered this figure tonight, recently bought the deacon and that figure made me buy the flight suit engineer and neomorph. Waiting on the 3 to arrive
This is my favorite Xenomorph design before it was the Alien Vs Predator design but I have always had Digitigrade legged Xenomorphs as my second especially one that has the Big Chap head Design... And when I saw this design of this Xenomorph I have decides it is now my favorite. For Information upon the word I have said wich was the word Digitigrade legs if people don't know what it means It is basically legs this Xenomorph has. And the Isolation Xenomorph and the Lurker Xenomorph and Dog Xenomorph. Basically one forward knee and at the lower Calve a backwards from the appearance of the upper knee.
This one is a superb designed Xenomorph! It shows that it`s based on huge parts of human DNA, the chest area looks exactly like a human ribcage instead of the strange and rather ugly chest area designs all other aliens had, the translucent dome has a human-like skull underneath. I really like that design best, it`s monstrous and eerie and shows eerie parts of human anatomy like skull and ribcage formed to a grotesk and terrific creature. In the next Alien Isolation 2 or Colonial Marines 2 game the developers should use this design for the new alien, and movie makers should use this design for future new alien movies. And I now have made my final choice which Neca Alien will lurk sneak and hunt on my movie shelf :)
spot the reason some of the things on it are different to older xenomorphs is because this one you've reviewed isn't actually a pure xenomorph. its like raw cookie dough. its nice but it just needs to go in the cooker for a while and then it'd be completed
I thought it was a statue but it was a action figure. NECA deserves a huge award for that! Not huge ,mega, ultra, infinity, awards for this action figure masterpiece. I would use it for drawing and practice!
Well have a Predator so know will need a few Xenos. My game play of the AvP Arcade game though so where leaning but I really dig this look and no I haven't seen the film. Didn't see that earlier one either.
I have one on the way, I'm really interested to see how it stacks up to the AVP xeno. So far i think the AVP version is one of the best all around molds for looks and posing. This version might give it a run for its money.
Im so sorry but the ZIOmorph made me laugh 😂 i love your videos ! Im always watching them before buy any Alien ! Thank you for your videos they are really great and helpful!
The one thing I don’t like about this figure is it’s too slim, at least to me. I know it was slim in the movie but I meant that about the design as the whole.
Thanks for this vid, as I just grabbed 2 of these (one to open, one left in box). But the one I opened I have a display case for, but when I saw there was no stand included I was baffled. But thanks to your vid I see I can purchase a stand or 2 separately. *Is one of those little stands good enough, or do I need two stands to give the 9" Xenomorph more support, at a level?*
Hey buddy, I have both figures, I love them both dearly, the covenant figure is very creepy and good for vanilla poses and eerie poses. The Alien 3 xenon is badass and excellent for dynamic poses :)
Lucious _ it’s not officially called “protomorph” that’s just a name fans gave to it to differentiate between the two. Anyways it’s still referenced as a normal xenomorph in film and the cast
I can't fine a genuine neca anywhere. I got a bootleg which is terrible, bent legs and wrong paint, it's pathetic, bloody China! I got the mini version from hobby link Japan though, it's quite nice.
Is there any places selling this xenomorph? All they're selling is the plain black head sculpt which means it's the fake neca figure. I'm looking for this one
it's 0% neca fault it doesn't look like the one in the film, they were shown a Suit which was later removed from the film and replaced with CGI. It looks just like the source neca was shown
Its a great looking figure, but not like the movie version. A quick google search can confirm that for you. Even NECA acknowledged it on Twitter a few times.
@@TheReviewSpot Wow Thanks alot Spot !Btw I never had the actually youtuber tell this kind of stuff,this is really cool.I don't even know which Xenomorph figure I want...Because they all look similar but cool.Can I get a suggestion???👍😀

I was confused for a minute. That's the Protomorph. lol
The protomorph is just a fan name
Its a xenomorph but the cgi/or suit is too organic
So the fans called it a protomorph
It's called a protomorph because it's a prototype that daniel made in alien covenant, so fans call it a protomorph
Best xenomorph figure yet? I don't own this figure yet, but from the looks of it it looks absolutley badass
You should get it! Got it this sunday and yeah its one hell of a figure
@@elfercho1147 bro it looks better bigger and more detailed then the original one but you replying to a 5 year old comment

You got the transparent dome variant, there’s also a black dome version
Which more dificult to find?
Were they individual releases or was it a luck of the draw type of deal?

spot the reason some of the things on it are different to older xenomorphs is because this one you've reviewed isn't actually a pure xenomorph. its like raw cookie dough. its nice but it just needs to go in the cooker for a while and then it'd be completed
btw the reason the xenomorph is less lanky and so on and so fourth is because it is the first variation of the xenomorph
this xenomorph*
thats correct yes
TheReviewSpot It's actually called the Protomorph in this movie
Axteus No it's not. Everyone on set including Ridley Scott himself call it Xenomorph. Protomorph was a fan term.
Its definitely not the first ever xenomorph
some people are calling it the protomorph
in the film thats what it goes by yes
That's not though that was just a fan name. The cast and crew call it the xenomorph
TheReviewSpot that is false
True. But it's still a xenomorph.
@@BlockyMountainLion no it's not it's way different
Excellent figure - i own 2 of them - intimidating and hellish.

Just got mine today, it's a great sculpt, in general it's really good, but it (at least, the one I have) has really tight joints
big sosig use hot water to loosen them up
herpderp7274 Or a blow dryer works too
Can you mold the tail does it stand well?
I love how you try to measure it when it's far from upright and straight. Also, it's called a Protomorph.
it's ok
Everything but the mouth sculpt I love, the fact it's mouth doesn't shut fully bothers me. Maybe I can learn to customize it somehow
They should've called it the Protomorph on the box-art, as that's what it's always referred to as.
Great figure! Thanks for reviewing it, great job!
I still wish we had an ultimate alien figure with a front opening box . (No the arcade one , that one is pink )
