It’s game over man, game over, with Hot Toys’ Scorched Xenomorph

Posted on by

Alien: Romulus tells a story about a group of space colonizers scavenging an abandoned space station, where they encounter the most terrifying life forms in the universe.

The acclaimed sci-fi horror film has as just landed on streaming and fans can now bring the terror to their collections, thanks to Hot Toys’ incredibly detailed Scorched Xenomorph 1/6 Scale Figure. Inspired its appearance by Alien: Romulus, the immense Scorched Xenomorph 1/6 Scale Figure stands at approximately 17.32 inches.

Skillfully painted in black and dark gray with a glossy finish, this highly poseable figure features a new joint design, allowing for a wide range of articulation. The detailed headsculpt has finely crafted internal structures, which are visible under a translucent carapace. Two interchangeable translucent carapaces are included in regular and battle-damage styles to provide even more display options. 

The figure boasts a newly developed extendable inner jaw and a bendable tail for dynamic poses. The Xenomorph also comes with an articulated Facehugger accessory and an LED light-up space station diorama stand to create an immersive display.

Find a new life with the Scorched Xenomorph 1/6 Scale Figure. Available to pre-order now

Posted on by

For five glorious years, Free League Publishing and 20th Century Studios have explored the ultimate reaches of the ALIEN universe. In celebration of the critically acclaimed ALIEN RPG’s 5th anniversary in 2024, Free League has announced their plans to unleash a Second Edition of the multiple award-winning game rules across an expansive new line of rulebooks, starter sets, cinematics, and accessories. The stress fest begins with bug hunts aplenty through an epic Kickstarter launching this Fall. 

Free League has revealed their core line-up for the upcoming Kickstarter, with more details coming soon:

  • Based upon feedback from thousands of players over five years of adventures, the Second Edition of the core rules delivers an updated and streamlined version of the ALIEN RPG fans know and love, along with additional new artwork, new content, and a variety of new tools for players and Game Mothers alike, all fully compatible with previous releases and game material. 
  • The new 2e starter set will be redesigned as the perfect starting point for newcomers to roleplaying in the ALIEN universe, containing everything they need for game night including abridged 2e rules, character sheets, custom dice, reference cards, various handouts, and an expanded 2e edition of the fan-favorite Hope’s Last Day scenario set on Hadley’s Hope just prior to the unforgettable events of Aliens. 
  • The new cinematic scenario boxed set, Rapture Protocol, written by Jonathan Hicks and Free League’s Tomas Härenstam, returns to the roots of the ALIEN franchise, featuring the crew of a small star freighter on a resupply run to the remote industrial colony, soon embroiled in a deadly conflict. 
  • The miniatures set is designed to bring the events of Rapture Protocol to life, but fully complement other adventures and skirmish battles throughout the ALIEN RPG series. 

Sign up today to follow the upcoming Kickstarter, look out for more news across Free League’s social channels, and then get ready for a whole new chapter of sprawling, stress-inducing, blood-curdling ALIEN RPG adventures for years to come. We can’t lie to you about your chances, but you have our sympathies.
