As NECA did before them, the team at Mezco are doing an alternative version of the 'Big Chap' Alien from the original 1979 Alien movie. The 'Concept' Xenomorph is based on an early design for the alien with a translucent body.
The figure will feature a seamless body, and extensive articulation beneath the outer skin. It also includes a hinged jaw and three different inner jaw pieces. The figure also comes with alternative hands, and an alternative chest section. You also get two Alien Eggs, one open and one closed, a Chestburster and a Facehugger. All of these come in the translucent colour scheme - as does the display stand.
The Concept Xenomorph is a Mezco Store Exclusive and will ship between March and April 2022.
Based on the originally intended design for the Alien suit by H.R. Giger, that was never used in the final film due to insurmountable technical challenges, this pale, translucent Xenomorph is a limited edition and never to be produced again by Mezco.
The One:12 Collective Alien “Concept Edition” features a seamless body designed with an internal skeleton armature that creates the feel of the creature's suit from the film’s developmental stages. The aggressive eponymous creature has a hinged jaw with interchangeable inner mouths, as well as an interchangeable chest plate pierced by the ASSO-400 Harpoon Grappling Gun, as seen in the final scene of the movie.
All of Alien’s accessories have taken on a semiopaque, milky look to compliment the originally designed Alien suit and honor the conceptualization of what became one of the most iconic movie monsters ever created.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
