I'm so stoked. Gonna start my budget for goodies.

Looks good...Fingers crossed.

Cool. I'll check it out. I'm hoping for a Dark Horse style.

That appears to be a NECA Predator bone throne.

Interesting Queen head crest style prop in the background... looks like part of a Hive wall, but curiously has a very Queen / Praetorian crest curvature.

The Big Chap in a fossilized rock reminds me of Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

I wonder if that was intentional. 

Alien: Romulus figures shown at San Diego Comic-Con 2024! (Spoilers)

Love the dark atmosphere in Romulus from everything I've seen so far. Partly reminds me of Ron Cobb's nightmarish industrial interior designs.

I can't get David Attenborough's voice out of my head now.

Another still of the Xenomorph in hunting pose, with its tail pointed towards Kay.

Much like the Covenant Neomorph and Xenomorph.

According to the recent Disney leak, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is coming, and we might see more Engineer environments, including OP Engineer weapons.

Hopefully it will have that tension from the first three movies. Every other movie after the first three lack that tension. I like what I've seen in the trailers, but sometimes a trailer or even extra material don't reflect the movie (Covenant anyone?).

The video of the statue. Pretty neat

Oh hell to the no

Yes that part in particular seems to be identical to the Aliens scene but as a whole I don't think (well I certainly don't hope) it's a rehash of the first two films as a whole. Trailers don't always match the direction and whole content of the film and the new aspects in the series such as the younger characters and their background, technology and new xenomorph life cycle will hopefully make sure Romulus stands on its own legs, although too many throwbacks/nostalgia is indeed treading on a thin line for sure, generally speaking. 

Here's hoping Romulus will distinguish itself enough from the first two films while still being in the same vein. 

It looks good, but honestly feels like a rehash of the first two Alien movies. There's even a scene with the two characters that mirrors Hicks and Ripley's characters when he shows her how to use the rifle. 

They reverse-engineer facehuggers using the black pathogen? That could explain the black facehugger. Brilliant idea and gives me Dead Space vibes where they recreated a copy of an alien artefact. 

As pointed out by Mike from Mike's Monsters, the monitor on the right says "printing" and this could be how the Facehuggers are made.

And the black goo is used as an ink?

David Attenborough: "It was at this moment he knew he fucked up" 

Indeed it would

 I am sold. One month to go.

Just 4 weeks, the excitement... 

I wonder if MU/TH/UR 9000 (model 6000 in the original film) is a reference and shares similarities to the rogue AI HAL 9000. Not that I think it'll start singing Daisy Bell but maybe it's programed or adapts to test the scavengers for results and start switching doors on and off in the station. 

Lovely stuff! Thanks Nebula :D

FX Alien Series gets a new title: Alien Earth

"What the f*** is this shit!? A f*****g teddy bear? Jesus what's wrong with people these days!? Back in my day the corporate logos where hard, made by stiff men with a pair balls that tried to achieve something! Now we have these confused kids who can't think straight, occupied with their little feelings and unicorns god forbid they'll touch a pencil again!!" 

Wth a teddy bear? Not sure what went behind the idea process for that one. Looks like the logo for a game studio named "Prodigy". Oh well I mustn't assume the worst, it's just an icon. 

Lol Attenborough narrating a xenomorph documentary would be wicked! 

Hard to say, although I'm leaning towards concept artwork. Having the Alien walk in a silhouette like that of a person is a bizarre choice however. Looks like a person in an Alien suit not an authentic Xenomorph. 

My reaction to seeing this:

People are having discussions about whether it is an actual piece of concept art or just an AI image used for the party. 

David Attenborough speaking: As evident here, lies a unique Facehugger specimen in its natural habitat. It is quite different from the typical Facehuggers we all know, but still fascinating nonetheless. As you can see, this specimen is much darker in color except for the edges of its fingers, which also possess hooked barbs that help them hold onto their prey. You will find out why they possess such unique characteristics in the film on August 16.

Director: And cut!

David Attenborough: Alright let's get the hell out of here!

Director: Hold up what's the rush we haven't even filmed the scenes with a Xenomorph.

David Attenborough: Oh fuck me.

A few more pics of the scorched xeno model. The last picture is brightened with HDR to make the details a bit more clear 

Also, that alien statue is in a perfect "wake up!" pose for wifes :D

So that's the "scorched xeno"? It must've been subjected to extreme amounts of heat considering the xeno in Covenant crawled right under the Lifter ship's rocket engine exhaust unscathed. 

Also love the aesthetics, very reminiscent of the xenos in Alien Resurrection. 

Spotted on X, a Xenomorph on display, at some undisclosed cinema.

It kind of does.

Another analysis/comparison I couldn't help but make.
