Alien Warrior Aliens 40th Anniversary Hot Toys Hong Kong Comic Con 2026 Booth Images

Coming in hot (Hot Toys that is!) from Hong Kong Comic Con 2026, and this one is a feast for Xenomorph fans because Hot Toys has pulled back the curtain on not one but two prototype versions of the Alien Warrior as part of their upcoming 40th Anniversary celebration of Aliens, giving collectors their first real look at what the company has been teasing with their “stay tuned for our upcoming collectible figures celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Aliens” messaging. Massive thanks to Ace from Ramen Toy for being boots on the ground at the convention and getting these booth images out to the community, because without people like Ace doing the legwork we would all just be sitting here refreshing social media and guessing. From what we can see in these prototype shots, Hot Toys is leaning hard into the organic, biomechanical detail that made the Alien Warrior such an iconic creature design, and having two distinct versions on display suggests they may be exploring different deco treatments or perhaps different moments of the creature’s appearance in James Cameron’s 1986 sequel, which would make sense given how the warriors looked slightly different depending on lighting and hive conditions throughout the film. The sculpted textures on these prototypes look absolutely loaded with detail, and while these are still early stage pieces that could see refinement before final production, the foundation here is clearly strong and signals that Hot Toys is treating this anniversary with the kind of gravity it deserves. I’m fired up to see how these develop from prototype to final product, and with the 40th Anniversary window approaching, we should be getting official specs, pricing, and preorder details before too long, so we will absolutely be keeping an eye on this one as more information surfaces.

Hot Toys revealed prototypes of two versions of the Alien Warrior for the Aliens 40th Anniversary. A large Aliens 40th Anniversary display houses both Alien Warrior prototypes inside a glass case, giving a wide look at how the two versions sit together with their respective bases and accessories. Even from a distance, the difference in surface finish between the two is striking, and it’s exciting to see Hot Toys commit to two distinct versions right out of the gate.

The full display spread for the Alien Warrior prototype shows the figure on its hive base with the complete swap-out hand tray arranged below, including multiple claw configurations and the inner jaw piece. With Hot Toys revealing prototypes of two Warrior versions, the accessory count on this variant alone is substantial, and it’s clear both versions are being developed as full premium releases rather than simple repaints.

The Alien Warrior stands on a sculpted hive base with organic tendrils and debris spreading across the grated flooring, and an Ovomorph sits beside it with deeply textured, wrinkled surface detail. As one of two Warrior prototypes revealed by Hot Toys, this version features a glossy, dark finish on the dome and exoskeleton realy brings out the biomechanical ribbing and elongated fingers.

The Alien Warrior prototype on the right is framed from the side here, and the dorsal tubes rising from the upper back are fully defined, each one sculpted with individual ribbed segments that fan outward from the spinal column. An Ovomorph sits nearby with its petal flaps beginning to part at the top.

The darker-finished Alien Warrior prototype towers over its detailed hive base, with the long tail curling in a wide arc that wraps around the sculpted Ovomorph and organic debris. Between the two revealed Warrior prototypes, this one leans into a cooler, more metallic palette across the exoskeleton, and the sheer density of sculpted tubing and skeletal framework on the torso is impressive.

The elongated dome of the Alien Warrior is the focus here, with its layered ridges and concentric segmented plates running the full length of the cranium.

The close-up of the prototype zeroes in on the head and upper torso, where corrugated tubing weaves tightly around the cranial dome and jaw structure in dense, overlapping layers.

The clawed handsof one Alien Warrior prototype hang in the foreground, each tipped with sharp, sculpted talons and connected by sinewy tendon-like detailing along the digits.

Multiple swap-out hands are laid out below the base, each with elongated, skeletal fingers sculpted with ridged tendons and sharp claw tips, alongside what looks to be an inner jaw extension piece.

The close-up of the darker-finished Alien Warrior prototype captures the glossy dome’s smooth curvature tapering into the dense biomechanical framework of the skull’s underside, where rows of small, tightly packed teeth line the jaw.

The front torso of the darker-finished Alien Warrior prototype shows the full cascade of corrugated tubes and ribbed conduits descending from the throat into the chest, with the skeletal rib framework wrapping tightly around the midsection.

The darker-finished Alien Warrior prototype is paired here with its own Ovomorph, which sits nestled in a bed of sculpted organic tendrils at the base, its surface covered in deeply grooved ridging.

The Ovomorph accessory gets a proper close-up here, with its closed petal flaps sealed tightly at the top and a deeply sculpted network of veiny, wrinkled organic texture covering the entire surface.

The jaw piece of the darker-finished Alien Warrior prototype is displayed alongside two swap-out clawed hands, with the jaw open wide to show the full interior mouth cavity and rows of individually sculpted teeth lining both upper and lower mandibles.

The bronze-toned Alien Warrior prototype is displayed inside a glass case with a printed Aliens backdrop behind it, and a support rod runs from the base up through the figure’s back to hold it steady during the prototype stage.

The bronze-toned Alien Warrior prototype gives a full frontal look at the chest cavity sculpt, with its tightly layered rib structure and intertwined organic conduits running from the throat down through the abdomen. This warmer-finished variant holds up beautifully on its own with the grated hive base and scattered organic debris beneath the clawed feet.

The side profile of the bronze-toned Alien Warrior prototype reveals the full depth of the biomechanical layering from skull to mid-torso, with corrugated piping curving from beneath the jaw into the spinal column and ribbed conduits running parallel along the back. The warm metallic finish on this variant really separates it from its darker counterpart, and the density of organic sculpt work packed into the torso cage alone is something else.

The bronze-toned Alien Warrior prototype gives a clean frontal view of the full torso structure, with the segmented vertebral column running straight down the center flanked by tightly interlocking rib sections and bundled organic conduits filling every gap. This shot reinforces how much sculptural density is packed into the midsection of this warmer variant, particularly in the abdominal region where clustered tubing converges below the chest cage.

The lower half of the bronze-toned Alien Warrior prototype shows the segmented tail curling around behind the legs, with the grated hive base littered in sculpted organic debris and tangled tendrils spreading across the floor panels.

The Alien Warrior prototype is packed with Giger-inspired biomechanical sculpt work, from the ridged tubing running along the torso to the segmented vertebrae trailing down the long, coiled tail. The base features a grated floor section with organic resin-like debris sculpted around the feet, grounding it firmly in the Aliens universe.

The inner jaw of the bronze-toned Alien Warrior prototype is deployed here, with its small, tightly sculpted teeth and glistening tip protruding from the recessed mouth cavity beneath the smooth cranial dome. The sheer depth of biomechanical piping and ribbed spinal column running down the back of this warmer variant confirms both sculpts are carrying serious detail throughout.

The second Alien Warrior prototype carries a distinctly different surface finish, with a warm bronze-toned metallic sheen across the entire sculpt compared to the darker tones of the first version. The ribbed underbelly segments and small dorsal spines running along the centerline are sharply defined, and it’s great to see Hot Toys giving collectors two distinct takes on the Warrior.
