This BTS video of the Xeno animatronic they used shows that it actually has some texture on it, so I believe it’s accurate.

But I am curious if this guy has an actual opening mouth like the older figures? Cause if that’s the case I really hope the stretchy rubber cheek material is much more durable…

So, in my opinion, it seems the OG proto was definitely based on the initial prop animatronic (top).

But the official proto is based on the actual BTS version? I’m having a hard time figuring out what they referenced for announcement figure. I need to find a better reference image from the film.

I showed my brother the below image and he told me he thinks the official release is more so based on what it looks like in the movie, leading me to believe that’s the case, but unfortunately the figure still lacks the shiny wet look.

NECA’s version seems closer to the film too. It’s black, textured but retains the wet look.

I think the exaggerated texture prevents the gloss coat from looking as shiny as it can be.

It does look rougher in those BTS photos, but when scaling down to 1/6 the texture should get finer (and therefore weaker).
 
Yeah not happy about this. We finally get a Xeno body that wont deteriorate, but keep the opening mouth gimmick where the tendons will tear? Lame af
Hopefully they have just forgot to show the extra accessory as it has a visible seamline around the jaw which makes it look interchangeable.

I agree the seam sure suggests the mouth is a swappable part - one open and one closed - but it seems unlikely they’d both forget to display it and also forget to mention it in the description where it isn’t listed.

I wish we knew for certain because being unable to leave the mouth open without ruining the figure is a total deal-breaker for me.
