This fall, Alien fans will have the chance to make their Halloween decor look out of this world. To celebrate Alien Day — the date that matches the designation of the moon from the original film — Spirit Halloween revealed the latest addition to their beloved animatronics line: a “life-size” xenomorph statue.
The statue towers over onlookers at over six feet tall, with a torso that turns from side to side and an inner jaw that mimics some of the xenomorph’s scariest on-screen moments with quick teeth-popping action. The statue features a detailed sculpt with dorsal spines, claws, its signature elongated head and tail, and exoskeleton carapace, though it’s recommended for indoor or covered porch use only. Unsurprisingly, this isn’t a cheap collectible for just any Alien fan — it retails for a whopping $450 USD, so you should probably start saving your pennies now.
While Spirit’s new animatronic is certainly the biggest example of Alien merch to hit shelves (would it even fit on a shelf?), it’s definitely not the first. The Xenomorph Queen also got her very own high-fashion doll last fall courtesy of Monster High, featuring a look that transforms her iconic exoskeleton into the chicest look this side of the galaxy.
There’s also plenty of other things happening in the Alien universe aside from merch. The Toxic Avenger alum Peter Dinklage joined the second season of Alien: Earth this month, ahead of filming beginning in London next month, joining stars Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, and Timothy Olyphant. A sequel to Alien: Romulus is also in development, though details on that film are few and far between at the moment.
