Celebrate the holidays by ordering your very own lifesize Alien Warrior replica from Hollywood Collectibles Group:

In 1979, Swiss surrealist H. R. Giger created what is considered one of the most frightening monsters of all time, for Ridley Scott¹s masterpiece ALIEN. Since then, the ALIEN Xenomorph has become one of the most popular and Iconic creatures to ever appear on the silver screen. The movie was destined to become one of the most influential science-fiction films of all time, and earned Giger an Oscar for his vision.

We are extremely proud to announce our officially licensed 1:1 Lifesize Alien statue, derived from the original molds used to create the original Alien costume.

Standing fully 7 feet 8 inches tall on its display stand, this imposing piece is constructed primarily of durable fiberglass and hand painted to the finest detail.

Presented in the classic Giger Alien Pose, the arms are also poseable and can be positioned down by the creature's sides or reaching out to grab its next victim! The head features the fatal inner ³tongue², as well as the translucent dome covering the eye-less skull underneath.

This impressive display is completed with a themed ³floor grid² display stand, with concealed lighting which allows the Alien to be illuminated from beneath for added dramatic effect!

The ultimate Alien collectible and the centerpiece for anyone¹s Alien collection.

Here's a little turkey day treat for you all, we recently came across this amazing Japanese modeling site which had amazing pics of this Nostromo and this Alien Warrior.

With the risk of becoming a feeder pool for other Aliens sites, we'd like to let you know that Hot Toys AvP: R Cosbabies have been reviewed at Michael Crawford's Review of the Week. Please folks, if you're going to email this news/scoop/whatever out to the online Alien world, please have the courtesy to credit your sources.

For those of you who actually feel the need to own something from one of the worst follow ups in film history, Sideshow is now offering an Alien 3 Queen Fetus maquette.

Sideshow is proud to partner with Amalgamated Dynamics Inc (ADI) to bring you the Fetal Queen Maquette from Alien3. Each piece is an exact reproduction of the original maquette created by ADI, which also appears on the Alien3 poster and film cover artwork. The Fetal Queen Maquette is cast in high-quality polystone, hand-finished and hand-painted to exacting standards, then individually hand-numbered. The Fetal Queen is removable from the base, where she is held in place by magnets.

Alien War will soon be returning as Alien Wars in Scotland on December 6th. Click here for more info!

A new website will also be posted here soon!

Thanks to Debra Campbell for the news.

Wanna know why we don't do many reviews on this site? Two reasons: 1) we can be bought by anyone with almost anything - send us a free sample, you're most likely getting a good review (unless it has an Alien 3 or Aliens vs. Predator logo on it - in which case you're screwed). The other is any review WE could do would PALE to the incredible pro reviews put up by Michael Crawford at his incredible Captain Toy site. So with that said, it gives us grat honor to send you to this link to his incredible Hot Toys Dallas and Kane review (which really ARE incredible btw).

While we were busy working on the BEST. HALLOWEEN. CAKE. EVER, Monsters in Motion has posted some new prop replicas for sale such as this Pulse Rifle Replica, this Predator Spear, and this Scar Predator Mask.

Happy Halloween!

Thanks to some incredible detective work by Sabres21768, you can now see photos of the upcoming Revoltech Alien Warrior figure in this Hive message board thread.

Thanks Sabres!

Expect to see this on other Aliens sites in 3... 2... 1...

improving on the old Master Replicas Predator Spear, Sideshow has teamed up with Amalgamated Dynamics to bring out an all-new extended version. Click on the link to the left to check it out and pre-order yours todays.

Sideshow is proud to partner with Amalgamated Dynamics Inc (ADI) to bring you the Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Prop Replica line, featuring some of the most advanced weaponry and armor ever conceived for the Predator arsenal. Each prop replica is an exact 1:1 reproduction of the original screen used prop, as created by ADI. The Predator Spear Prop Replica is cast in heavy-duty polystone with fiberglass and metal elements, hand-finished and hand-painted to exacting standards, then individually hand-numbered.

The Yautjas species was first encountered in Fox's 1987 release Predator, hunting humans for sport in Central America. The alien warriors use highly advanced weapons and technologies and live by a code of honor, marking themselves in the blood of their kill. Continuing the story of these Predators' ongoing war with the Xenomorph alien species is the 2007 film Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. The two species go head to head using a small, rural town as the battlefield.

From highly advanced technologies to basic weapons and tools, the Predator arsenal includes an impressive range of weapons and armor for effectively stalking prey and engaging in hand-to-hand combat. The Predator spear is able to slice or stab through layers of flesh with a single blow and can withstand the acidic blood of the Xenomorph alien.

Monsters in Motion has several Aliens products for sale, including:

Just got the following message from Dave Espi:

I'm the owner of the resin kit company ESPI PRODUCTIONS

I have been away from the resin kit market for some time, and have decided to make a resurgence as the fan base and calling for my kits has become overwhelming. In 1998 I produced a resin kit of a 1/8th scale Colonial Marine and 1/2 alien figure sculpted by Ian Coulter and myself. Now in 2008, I am re-releasing the kits in three versions:
1) The marine. (50 numbered castings) 2) The marine and torso alien. (25 numbered castings) and..... to mark my 10 year anniversary of the kit, 3)The "Vignette"

A brand new 10 year anniversary edition with a 360 degree viewable base diorama. On it is a destroyed wall section with 1/2 emerged alien and USMC Colonial Marine. Hand poured in our trademark Bronzecast Durathane resin, the kit will be strictly limited to 80 castings. Twenty parts to the kit as well as extras and wire sections to complete it with a more authentic appearance to the wall. Certificate of Authenticity, and color boxart and instructions are also included. As I am unveiling the prototype of it here on [b]The HIVE [/b] for the first time to anyone in the world, I am offering a pre-order price of 76.00 including shipping in the continental USA. Initial castings are available September First of this year, and will be in full production availability as of October 1st 2008. One month special chance to Alien and Predator fans here in the forums before available to the general public. Final version of the kit will be a slight variation of this, but is 99% completed as shown. Please feel free to reply here with comments and PM me if interested in one of these. They will go fast, and once gone, they are gone again!
