There is a lot of detail going into the sculpt and the more you look at it, the more you’re going to love it.

He also has a hinged jaw, a bendable tail, and a tongue that pops out. Some key changes to articulation includes changes to the knee and elbows, the bicep swivel has been removed, knee joints enlarged, and the ankles allow more poseability.
This set is not only given a great Big Chap figure, but for the first-time, you get the 1979 Alien egg with a base that it can stand on.
The egg and base have a special grooves that line up so it stays connected, and the base has those tentacles as seen in the movie. The egg itself has no bottom and is meant to be placed on the base. The egg can hold a Facehugger, that is also included, and this set also comes with a Chestburster that has some red deco to indicate blood. The paint applications applied to the Big Chap, the egg, Facehugger, and Chestburster are all nicely done and have a great authentic likeness.
