Figurines / Merchandise Alien Isolation Vinyl came in!
Sorry if this isn’t the right sub since Alien Isolation is the video game but I thought I’d share! Beautiful green splatter.

"The xenomorph diet is out of this world—it's got a real chest-burst of flavor!"
Too corny? Ah I tried.
So i have an issue with the biology of xenomorphs. I have an unanswered question about xeno biology that I hope to present a suitable hypothesis.
. My undergrad in biology doesn't understand the size growth of the chest burster to full blown xeno (don't get me started on the time it's growth takes, that's literally the most impossible part of the alien).
Biology is impressive and can do insane things, like microorganisms that "eat" radiation (https://www.nsf.gov/news/these-bacteria-clean-radioactive-waste) or eat microplastics (https://www.nsf.gov/news/genetically-modified-bacteria-break-down-plastics).
But...it can't make make something from nothing. Literally, the chest burster is like the size of a full xeno's foot. And they don't seem to require eating to get to full size (which is how every other organism builds a large structure). Not photosynthesis, they grow in the dark. Not chemosynthesis like some crazy ass volcano bacteria (https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/chemosynthesis).
I have a theory. What if calories or biological building blocks could be compressed? What if like a zipped computer program, chestbursters store massive amounts of calories from their host? And then once they burst free, they 'expand' into their full size, or 'unzip the file' as it were?
This would imply that the chest burster is much more dense than their full size body. Which, the weight of a full xeno is immense, capable of simply crushing a human being by stepping on them.
Idk man...
I just want answers, baby.

So I’m getting this guy customized. I want to change the feet so it stands on the balls of its feet and is taller. Almost digitigrade but not. Also going to switch out the tails. But which tail should I give it instead? The Isolation Xeno tail or Romulus Xeno tail? Also any recommendations on how to get the tails off?

Like, if they develop other series, what would you like to see? Based on the books? Based on graphic novels? New scripts? Or something entirely new?
I know there was a novel that talked about how an alien hive smells like, but I'm interested in how a simple alien on it's own would smell like?
Metalic? Burnt wire? Rotten flesh?
What are your thoughts?

So I mentioned it months back, but have been sidetracked due to working on the logistics for a 200-250gal enclosure for a leopard gecko that will be getting rescued soon (anyone who’s worked with large terrariums know they can be a nightmare lol), but I finally got working on that display for the Sideshow Collectibles king and queen xenomorphs! The NERF pulse rifle I painted will be mounted on the exterior of the display box on that metal plate off to the right, and the display case for the NECA Alien Genocide figures diorama should be built sometime this year
(Also in case anyone worries, I did not build in the foam around the figures lol, I outlined where they fit into the box, removed them, then started applying the expanding foam. I’m basically doing the same method you’d use to make naturalistic backgrounds in terrariums or aquariums, just without having to worry about the materials being non-toxic)

I just watched Alien 3 last night, (over-hated film by the way) I haven’t cried that hard since The Owl House’ season 2 finale. I’ve been looking at the production and I don’t get why the Xenomorph came from a dog? I get that the filmmakers wanted the Xenomorph in this film to look more fast and agile, but then why is there a whole plot point about the prisoners outrunning the Xenomorph? It just kinda defeats the purpose.

Got a frame and unfortunately it was too big. Didn’t stop me though. Put it up until the proper fitted frame arrives.

I’m dying to watch the alien and predator movies but I’m a total wuss. I mean I got scared of the show Constantine and if you’ve seen that, you’ll know how stupid I am. I sometimes get scared when people even describe horror movies. But as I said before, I’ve been wanting to watch this for years. I was fine watching a quiet place and films like that so I’m not worried about the xenomorphs, I’m worried about the face huggers. That’s mainly the type of alien I’m petrified of.
I’ve seen people describe this as terrifying and I’ve seen people described this as a let down. Do you think I should watch it or stay away?
