1/6 Aliens chestburster by HOT TOYS

The baby alien or 'Chestburster' as it is called quite rightly, is the beginning of an adult.

As soon as the host is impregnated the Chestburster starts to develop and due to the incredible growth rate of the Xenomorphs the Chestburster is ready to be born after a few hours of its transfer from the facehugger to the host.

The embryo is implanted in the chest cavity behind the sternum, we assume this is for the protection of the embryo from harsh blows to the host from the outside world. Unfortunately this position of where the Chestburster has been planted results in an excruciating death for the host because the Chestburster has to repeatedly punch the sternum until it has broken free.

From the time the Facehugger falls off, the host has from 2 to 4 hours before the Chestburster kills the it and is born. A Queen embryo would take a much longer time to be born due to its more complex anatomy it would take approximately 8-14 hours before she is born.

Once the Chestburster is born it takes from 3-5 hours till it reaches full adult size.

The Chestburster has small front limbs that are presumably useless and a very snake like body, it uses it tail to push itself along the ground until its limbs have grown properly.

The DNA of the alien and its host sometimes mix giving the alien some of the instinct his host had. This can happen in such ways of development.

The Chestbursters only way of removal once implanted is to be surgically removed and then it should be destroyed, the only other way of getting it out of the hosts body is to let it hatch!

The Chestburster leaves scents in the host's body that adult Xenomorph's can scent and therefore no harm comes to the host by the aliens until the Chestburster kills it by being born.
