This xenomorph design was how the aliens were originally intended to look. They did make the domes, but they were removed out of concern that they would end up cracking while filming some of the action sequences. Hence, the bare ridged head look became a thing.

Thanks for the informative review. I got this set today. I also noticed the standing issue with my Burke figure, but I got him to stand by spreading his legs more apart and putting one a bit back.
John Rosengrant, The Late Stan Winston's protege at Stan Winston's Studios said in the ALIENS making of documentary that this Concept Warrior was made with the Dome to be in the movie and that they were proud by recreating H.R. Giger's original ALIEN design with a few mods, but Director James Cameron ordered them to remove the domes because they were going to brake in the action scenes. Cameron also stated that to him the Ridged Headed Aliens are basically older Aliens, the Dome ones are essentially younger but as the grow older they loose the dome and some physical changes happen to the Aliens to make them look as they did in the film. I like this explanation, or also to me the Domed Aliens are more as the protectors of the Alien Queen, while the Ridged headed Warriors are the Cannon Fodder.
Full explination. The Stan Winston guys originally built the warriors for the film to be "more or less" a 1:1 replica of the Giger design, with a few exceptions. The fingers and feet were redesigned, the arms were given "blade" like appendages, and the design was slightly simplified for greater mobility. There were hero versions of the suit, and versions that were little more than foam-latex pieces glued onto a leotard. This allowed the stuntmen and dancers to really bounce around inside the suits. The team at SWS was really proud of how well they replicated the heads. James Cameron made the call to take the dome off for two reasons. One, the dome was prone to scuffing and cracking doing all the immense stunt work required. He also found the more ridged shape under the dome to be of more visual interest. You can see what James Cameron was thinking when you watch the scenes in the hive when the Aliens first wake up. Their ridged heads catch light and just look very aggressive.
@@OpenMawProductions wow! Very detail explaination! So any aliens related stuff could request you to explain more in-deep? Do you think aliens should make more sequel or remake? Both ideas quite gd? 😃
have you tried rotating the knee joint around, then rotate the foot around so the angles match? I'm think maybe the calf section is backwards and the thigh and shoe are on properly, thus causing the standing issue?
I almost shit myself with the Mad About You comment. I was thinking about Paul Reiser and what else he did, Mad About you was the only thing I could think of. Guilty pleasure show.
Where did you get that display stand for burke, or name? Necas own only have one peg so having a display stand with two pegs would be way better. Until I can get their bigger display stand with the clamp thing but those are expensive.
@@TheReviewSpot if so... which is your favourate figure which neca release so far? Like them make more movie-related figure like A-Team, recent modern one, or how about live-action movie hero figure like prince of persia? King leonard of 300? etc... 😃
When I spread my Burke figures legs there are two different joints on the hips.like I one is a ratchet joint and the other is a smooth joint that is wierd if anyone has this joint reply to this
Designer of the creature on ALIENS, John Rosengrant said it is but that they had the Dome removed by order of James Cameron because he said that in the action scenes were going to get broken.

James Cameron said he just thought the ridget skulls looked cooler.

NUMBERSIX, EL DIABLO.
I wanted this for the alien figure
If you still don't have it 2 years later, it is on Amazon for pretty cheap currently. So take advantage of that if you're still interested.
Thanks as always Spot. I really appreciate it!
Love your reviews.
Perfect thing to watch before school
cool...what grade?
TheReviewSpot 10th, can you tell me what stands you use in your videos? (The black ones with 2 pegs)

I made my figure of the dude to stand I just turned one of his knees the opposite side
The alien is done very nicley
I like the more rigid heads on aliens. I think it makes them look more fearsome instead of a more elegant look
Yikes
Burke would be great for that action figure that's about to be killed by whoever you want.
The feet are warped. Heat the plastic with a hairdryer, bend them into shape and then put the feet into a bowl of icy water. Should help a bit.
That expression reminds me of when he sees how Joey repainted the apartment on My Two Dads.
ALIENS 2 1986.
What a nice set 😃 but why does this Alien have a smooth dome?
its the original concept for how the aliens were to look in the movie
TheReviewSpot oh okay didn't know that. Thanks Spot 🙄
You said it later on in the video. Didn't watch it completely yet 😅

They need to release the rest of the marines asap so i can throw my money in their faces!
have you tried rotating the knee joint around, then rotate the foot around so the angles match? I'm think maybe the calf section is backwards and the thigh and shoe are on properly, thus causing the standing issue?
U could well be right there my wise friend.
I almost shit myself with the Mad About You comment. I was thinking about Paul Reiser and what else he did, Mad About you was the only thing I could think of. Guilty pleasure show.
Those look like Freddy Krueger pants. 🤔
The legs look like they will also be used for the Evil Dead 2 pack
Where did you get that display stand for burke, or name? Necas own only have one peg so having a display stand with two pegs would be way better. Until I can get their bigger display stand with the clamp thing but those are expensive.

Burke figure looks exactly like Steven Crowder
When I spread my Burke figures legs there are two different joints on the hips.like I one is a ratchet joint and the other is a smooth joint that is wierd if anyone has this joint reply to this
looks like Steven Crowder
that is not a xenomorph warrior.

Mad About You was fucking awful
I liked it
