I'll probably get this anyway, I have 3 versions already, but I'd have kinda liked NECA to go just a bit further in homaging the original HR Giger Necronomicon artwork that originally inspired the Alien. It would have just taken two new pieces: a new head with the rounded black eyes, and a new tail with a bulbous end to it.
finally broke down and got this one and i was wrong..this drone is impressive and i have them in every color from red to bright blue but there is something about the colors on this xeno.its like they tried to replicate how it looked when giger painted it,as seen in his art as opposed to the much darker look of the movie.
Great video. It may be just a repaint but I still bought this version over traditional 40th anniversary big chap and bloody figures. Something about Giger’s work that rings true and I think it’s perfectly captured within this figure. Loved the review dude
Crazy that its really just the same mold as before but by adding the dry brushing the mold just pops on this version of the Xenomorph, this is my favourite of the Big Chap mold we've gotten! thanks for coming by and checking out the video Clay! could you please let me know if you're still able to see my newer videos showing up in your subscription feed? let me know?
Very nice review!!! One thing you did miss with regard to the articulation ( and i am not sure if it is unique to this version) is that the head is not just on a ball joint but it is actually a ball and stick joint. if you tug it upward just a little you will see the stick portion. This will allow you to be able to actually tuck the back of head much further backward and even put it between the top left and right back spikes when you remove the top center one. This can give you more of that lunging pose that is more characteristic of the Aliens warriors. It also allows for increased range to put the head down forward as well. This is far greater articulation for pitching the head back than any other zenomorph that I have purchased. This little extra posabiltiy makes this my favorite version out of all of them. Plus the ratcheting on the thighs into the torso is a great improvement over past versions and will more likely keep those sockets from loosening up over time. Both of these are great improvements by NECA.
I would definitely pick up the Giger Xenomorph, even though I already have 4 other versions. The translucent paint application by itself makes this one a worthy addition to the collection. Otherwise, thanks again Spot!
I was thinking that Neca could've solved the problem of the back spine protrusion piece by giving it a joint to move down, making it unnecessary to remove it.
i own about 5 variants of the big chap so i hate to say iam not impressed with another drone.however i cant wait for the american werewolf and the puma alien.
@@killken Yeah cool! I've had it on pre-order for like....🤔 A long time? And just got the Predators...'Un-Armored Assassin' AND 'Damaged City Hunter' delivered too! Apprently NECA has the (rest of) Lost Tribe is coming our way soon too...(including) Elder and Wolf Predator's!!👍
Keep the alien and predator reviews coming. You do an awesome job and we appreciate the hard work.
I appreciate that!
This color scheme mimics H.R. Giger's haunting and bizarre art style very well.

that´s the best looking big chap by far. love it.

"In this review, no one can hear you scream...that's not reassuring." Your little quips in each video get me better than the jumpscare from Alien. 😂
Hands down this is the best looking Big Chap NECA has produced to date.
Hey, is this even better than the ultimate version?
I would love for them to do a painting scheme like this with the warrior xeno

This is my first xenomorph and I’m stoked about it! Thx for the review
I always loved this design of the Alien because It's very iconic and scary and to see the skull in the dome is really creepy and awesome.
I didn’t realize how cool this repaint is, so I passed on the pre-order. Dammit, Spot! Now I want it lol
I love gigers artwork this is a must have
Aliens are so creepy but cool
I would definitely pick up the Giger Xenomorph, even though I already have 4 other versions. The translucent paint application by itself makes this one a worthy addition to the collection. Otherwise, thanks again Spot!

I didn’t pick up the ultimate version, so I’m very happy I preordered this one.
Giger's Xenomorph is brilliant
I watched this review Friday night and decided to check Target on Saturday, and lo and behold they actually had the Giger alien! He's really cool.
Such great attention to detail.
🙂
This is going to be epic 😎
I need this one, it looks great.
i own about 5 variants of the big chap so i hate to say iam not impressed with another drone.however i cant wait for the american werewolf and the puma alien.
I hope this releases in Norway.
Really would like to get this figure.
Such a nice figure!! I might have to get it!😄
You should!
Will be picking this up.
the plot thickens for Devious lol
Nice to display side by side with my mcfarlane toys new Raven spawn 2021
Hey Spot! Thanks again for your advice and thoughts about this Giger's version. I'll definetly get it! Again, you made me want it, even more he he.
That's true the original Alien in 1979 stood a lot like a man and moves like one too.
Why does this one have a facehugger but the standard 40th ALIEN does not have one?
They must just make 8-pack colonial marines from the ALIENS 1986 movie.
So beautifull 😍
Any idea when BBTS is getting these?
At 5:15 is that the Ultimate version or another variant?
What's with the tip of the tail being white. ?
I wondered that too, maybe it was a paint defect?
VERY reminiscent of McFarlane's 79 big chap
Both of mine came sans any facehuggers unfortunately...
Great Review..
Can't wait for the Australian release of this one (all 3 in the Wave 4 series) Hopefully be here Down-Under...
by Xmas 2022!?🤔
Looks like Popcultcha has it now.
@@killken Yeah cool! I've had it on pre-order for like....🤔 A long time?
And just got the Predators...'Un-Armored Assassin' AND 'Damaged City Hunter' delivered too!
Apprently NECA has the (rest of) Lost Tribe is coming our way soon too...(including) Elder and Wolf Predator's!!👍

Your arms dont go with your voice.

@@TheReviewSpot well your arms look more lumber jack guy but your voice is more suit and tie sounding.
lol ahh ok
They totally exploited the shit out of the 40th anniversary line.
PD bloody ver. Still is the best
나줘
He is not a it he’s a alien
Not even close to “giger”. In my opinion if u want to sell a giger variant. Atleast make a headsculpt that resembles gigers work. Miles off.
