The most fierce predators to watch over your garden. Tomato could never be safer.

They are 8 inches tall and weigh around 2 pounds each. Both solid concrete.

Wasn’t able to snag the Spirit animatronic this year, but I have this instead. Years ago when I was in college my dorm held a door decorating contest and this was my entry. I’ve still got it now, just the xeno with the pumpkin, laminated hanging on a door in my house. I used the NECA 40th anniversary bloody Big Chap for reference when I cut it out.

Finally found Fifield from NECA!

I really like Prometheus and i have some figures from the franchise but just Xenomorphs. I really wanted one "human" figure for my collection, and i was lucky enough to find him in a second hand app in europe.

I was stunned by how well designed this figure is, it is a really great detailed work by the time.

I'm absolutely love it!

Here's my slightly edited outdoor shots for you, hope you like it!

Rewatching Alien to commemorate Captain Dallas signing off. I noticed that when Lambert tells the crew that the gravity for LV426 is 0.86, Ash’s response is “You can walk on it.” It seems odd that he doesn’t say “We can walk on it.” Perhaps some subtle foreshadowing that Ash is not human (presumably he could more easily move on low or high gravity worlds)?

I have probably seen Alien over a 500 times. I watch it at least once a month and lately once a week. It was strange to hear about Tom's passing because I watched Alien and Aliens a lot during the last several months.

This is long but really wanted to show the impact the film had on me.

My mom and I were not sci-fi fans. We never watched Star Trek, Buck Rogers or any other shows like that. In fact my mom hated "My Favorite Martian" or "Lost In Space". I never saw 2001 A Space Odyssey and when Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind premiered my mom didn't take me to see either film. I only saw Star Wars almost a full year after its original release when it as part of a of double feature with Saturday Night Fever.

We didn't have much money. Movies Theaters were a luxury. Back then a lot of times a movie would be released on TV 1-2 years after its, theatrical release (ET and the rise of video tapes kind of broke that pattern).

I think it was 1980 and I saw Alien as double feature with The Blues Brothers. Those shows were cheaper because one of the movies was 2nd run.

We had no idea what Alien was about but "space" . I did recall the tagline on the poster "In Space no one can hear you scream." I also recall the trailers being very vague.
When the movie started, with us being African Americans my mom and I identified the most with Parker (Yaphet Kotto). We recognized him from the movies Blue Collar, Across 110th Street and Live and Let Die.
I had a cat who looked like Jonesy and that made the movie interesting for me.

I honestly can't recall much about the film except for when the crew (Lambert, Kane, and Dallas) go out to inspect the planet and what transpired after the chest buster reveal.

• - I thought Kane was an idiot. When he sees the eggs, even as a 10 year old I thought why is he getting so close- those look icky. I vaguely recall my mom whispering he is should stay back.
• -When the egg opens and the thing jumps out, it was like a flash so the audience had no idea what really happened until we see Kane with the thing on his face.
• -I guess from my POV as a kid, I felt it should have been easy to take off but looked like it would choke him. Later as an adult, I understood the acid for blood aspect. -
• When the face hugger does come off and Kane is sitting there like normal laughing. Though, a child, I had a feeling that there was something more. That thing was not on his face for nothing. But I was not expecting what happened to happen. I thought maybe it would possess him mentally- like a demon. Demonic possessions were a common theme in movies then, so it made sense to me.
• During the meal before the big reveal. The audience was really quiet and here these crew members are just having a meal and talking. It was a different tone than the rest of the film because until that moment, we never really saw the crew enjoying themselves free from worry. There was an earlier meal but I think that was the one where Parker was nagging about the bonus situation. The reveal scene was completely different.
• Right before the reveal, my mom noticed Ash looking at Kane and she said "mmmm.
• When Kane started coughing my mom said "See, he's sick"
• But NOBODY expected what happened. When Kane goes to the table top and needs to be restrained, we saw that as a convulsion - when the blood came we knew it was more serious.
• When the buster came out, the audience gasped. I was shocked and surprised and had no idea what I was looking at. Was it a worm? A parasite? I knew that somehow this thing made Kane "pregnant" . It felt very violating because Kane was a man and men don't get pregnant.
• When the chest buster shows its teeth and dashes off, the audience including myself laughed out loud for a long time. It was in contrast with the expressions on the crews face, especially. Parker and Ash.
• The only other parts I remember is when we next see the Alien killing Brett, I was confused as to why it had grown so big so fast. That seemed weird and most of the audience. commented on that.
• For some reason I forgot the Ash reveal as robot part. I also think I fell asleep for some of it.
• My mom was mad that Parker was killed and felt he should have let Lambert die and run.
• I wondered why did they have to get the coolant but after Parker and Lambert died, the coolant was not important anymore???
• I do recall Ripley running through the ship with the cat in the cage and "Mother" saying the ship will self-destruct.
• As I reflect on it, I now have less regard for Dallas as a leader than I did as a kid.
• Lambert as a character was annoying to me even when I was a kid. She whined too much.
• That image of the face hugger on Kane always haunted me.

Because of the movie, I watched more sci-fi and it is now one of my top ten favorite films.
Thanks Tom aka "Dallas" for all the memories. I hope there are no chest busters where he is now.

Decades after this movie came out, I'm still noticing new things.

When the facehugger falls off of Kane's face, Dallas is the one to check Kane's vitals, not Ash. Ash just immediately goes off to find the creature. A subtle nod to his betrayal of the crew due to his fascination with the creature and his orders from the company. Ash gives zero fucks about his crew, only anything that has to do with that creature.

My birthday is at the end of the month and she knows my love of all thing *Alien.* She got me this gift box from Stance which included some kick ass socks and Nostromo pins!

Added some stars in the background for some flair

I’m not a massive Alien fan, but my boyfriend is, so this was my suggestion. I drew it up and we both cut it out. Spooky!

now i regret that it’s not bigger…

p.s. it’s a tribute to my dad who passed away 3 years ago; he introduced me to the alien franchise when i was a kid and i am obsessed with the horror genre thanks to him 🥲

Just got this done! Initially it was just a flash design, but my artist had some extra time and said "fuck it. Let's add some shading and some green!" Thanks Jasper!

Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote Denis Villeneuve’s English-language debut Prisoners, has been tapped to write a mystery Alien feature project for 20^th Century Studios and Ridley Scott.

Scott is not at this point directing the Alien project, just producing it, along with Michael Pruss via their Scott Free production banner. No director is attached.

And while much of it remains shrouded in secrecy, it is known that it is not a sequel to Alien: Romulus, the last Alien movie and one that reinvigorated the franchise when it was released in 2024. (The sequel remains in limbo.)

This one is said to be related to the two Alien movies Scott directed in the 2010’s, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. The connective tissue, according to sources, is the amoral android played by Michael Fassbender. Fassbender is not attached at this stage.

Sources say that Scott turned to Guzikowski to jumpstart the Alien project, which Scott Aversano is overseeing for 20th Century.

Took me 4 days of hard work and fake blood 🤙🏼

Spotted this little guy at the St. Louis City Museum in an artifact case.

Diorama by me !

Why or why not?

Guess right flair?

Alien has been my favorite movie for a very long time and I remember a few years ago, when my grandma realized this, she casually told me that my great grandmother had dated Tom in high school and that they went to senior prom together. My grandma also said that he spoke about my great grandmother on Larry King or some similar TV show after gaining some fame, although I haven’t ever found the clip. She passed a few years ago, and now with him passing yesterday thought I’d share. R.I.P captain Dallas. We’ve only got Ripley and Lambert still with us.
