This Wooden Xenomorph Phone Stand Looks Like It’s Been Dead a Long Time

Posted on 14/11/2022 by hite

Intricately carved out by Ukrainian woodworker Vadim of Etsy shop bovagu, these wooden xenomorph phone stands are perfect for letting coworkers know you’re a fan of the Alien franchise. Or for trying to convince them you’re an alien headhunter like the Predators. Speaking from experience, though, that’s an uphill battle. These people aren’t as gullible as my nieces and nephews.

The $145 heads are carved from sustainable linden wood, weigh 0.9 lbs, and measure approximately 5.5″ x 12″ x 3.5″. They can also be linseed oiled in different colors if blue isn’t your thing. I want mine to be the limey green tint of xenomorph blood, as seen in the movies. I demand realism!

Admittedly, that’s a sweet phone stand. And to think I’ve gotten by all this time just using a stack of unfinished work documents for a stand while I watch Netflix instead of actually attending to those documents. Fun fact: those papers also double as napkins and emergency tissues!

Animatronic Alien Xenomorph Rocks out on Guitar

Posted on 15/10/2021 by hite

Xenomorphs: they’re just misunderstood aliens that want to rock out, not kill. Case in point: this small animatronic xenomorph built by Danny Huynh that jams out on guitar. Free Bird! Admittedly, I would still have a hard time feeling comfortable being a groupie.

The animatronic’s basic tempo is controlled via knobbed servos, with its finer movements operated via radio controls so Danny can make the xenomorph’s motion correspond to the song it’s performing. Most impressive. Still, when reached for comment whether she’d ever attend a live concert, Ellen Ripley replied, “Only in an exoskeletal P-5000 Powered Work Loader.” Smart thinking.

Below is a video of an earlier iteration of the rocking alien performing Metallica’s ‘The Unforgiven,’ an appropriate song considering I doubt all those Colonial Marines have forgiven and forgotten what the aliens did to them. Now Danny just needs to build a Predator that can play drums and this duo can take their music on tour!

Alien Xenomorph Head Letter Opener

Posted on 08/06/2021 by hite

Because nothing says I’m the boss around here like an over-the-top letter opener, this is the Alien Xenomorph Letter Opener from Diamond Select Toys and available on Amazon (affiliate link). I think it goes without saying it’s the perfect letter opener for playing the knife game (aka five-finger filet) like Bishop in the original Alien movie.

The 10″ long unit features a heavy base resembling the head of a xenomorph warrior, with the actual letter opener being a removable model of the alien’s inner jaw. Remember the first time you saw that in the original movie? It still gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Does anybody even use letter openers anymore? I just assumed they were a way to keep a weapon at your desk in the event your coworkers turn on you. I mean it’s not that hard to open an envelope, especially if you don’t care about what’s inside. ‘Probably just another past-due bill’ I exclaimed while accidentally ripping my second COVID stimulus check to shreds.

Alien Xenomorph Trick-or-Treat Bucket: Now Gimme Some Candy!

Posted on 31/08/2019 by Paul Strauss

Halloween isn’t far off, so it doesn’t hurt to start shopping now before all of the good stuff is sold out. While your kids might already have ideas for costumes, I bet their trick-or-treat pumpkins aren’t being given the slightest thought. Give your kid the coolest candy collector ever with this awesome Alien xenomorph candy bucket from Super7.

While the SuperBuckets Alien Xenomorph would be most at home with a Ripley costume, it’s pretty awesome all on its own, as its creepy alien head and pearly choppers will scare your neighbors into tossing some extra candy into the bucket just to get you off their porch quicker. And I’m not talking about the crummy stuff like Necco wafers, raisins, or those butterscotch hard candies your granny tried to pawn off on you. This scary buckethead will be filled with the good stuff like Tootsie Pops, Reeses, Twix, and Snickers. It’s available from Entertainment Earth for $19.99.

Gingerbread Alien Xenomorph: Terror for Your Tummy

Posted on 31/12/2018 by Conner Flynn

I’m torn. I could take several bites out of this awesome gingerbread xenomorph, but if I do, it’s gonna take some bites out of me. On one hand, it looks delicious, but on the other, it is terrifying. I know that in space no one can hear you scream, but I’m not in space, so everyone is going to hear me scream. Whatever. I’m going in. Wish me luck.

This lovely but nightmarish beast was created by Norwegian artist Caroline Eriksson. The gingerbread sculpture was built over an iron structure and held together with sugar syrup. Caroline bakes the gingerbread, then sculpts it over curved surfaces while warm to get the proper shape for each piece. The finished product is not only a work of art but also edible. In fact, it will retain its shape for months if everyone is too terrified to touch it.

The end result is pretty awesome. I love all of the detail she put into this work of art. She might as well have sculpted a facehugger though, because it’s gonna meet my face as I attack that sweet gingerbread like a crazy person. Unfortunately, it’ll probably burst out of my chest after that.

Just a Predator Riding a Xenomorph Motorcycle

Posted on 22/06/2018 by Conner Flynn

Well, here’s something that you don’t see every day. Apparently, rather than just kill this Xenomorph and take a trophy, this Predator decided to humiliate his kill and turn it into a kickass motorcycle. Now it will always be his slave on the open road.

Now that’s not really a Predator, but it’s a cosplayer from Thailand riding his awesome custom motorcycle. This person knows how to live. I’ll say that. It’s a great way to get the hell out quickly when you have to activate your nuclear bomb and kill Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Honestly, I wouldn’t even care if this was a scene from the new Predator movie. In fact, it makes me want a Predator motorcycle gang movie, with Predators riding across the country behaving badly. I envision it as a comedy. And it’s all good until they encounter the Xenomorph gang. Then it’s war. Until a brave woman named Ripley brings the two forces together and ushers in peace. Beautiful. I think it might win an Oscar.

Damn, that is a badass bike though. Okay, I’m out of here. I have to get started on this screenplay.

Motion-activated Alien Storage Egg: Get Away from My Stuff, You Bitch!

Posted on 18/05/2017 by Conner Flynn

Want a place to store your stuff that no one will dare open? This Motion Activated Alien Storage Egg should do the trick. I’m pretty sure no one is going to go near this creepy egg pod.

It is based on the Xenomorph embryo designed by HR Giger and it is a screen accurate prop. It measures about 21″ x 16″ and weighs in at a substantial 8 lbs.Just wave your hand over the motion sensor and the egg comes to life, opening and emitting an eerie green glow from its internal LED lighting.

I really don’t want to stick my hand in there. Whatever is in there is lost. I don’t want it anymore. There’s just no way my hand is going in there.

In space no one can hear you scream, but on Earth we can all hear it. That’s how we know someone is stealing our stuff from this egg. If you want an alien egg to protect your stuff, you’ll need to pony up $260(USD) over at TheFowndry.

Make Your Own Facehugger, Then Give It a Home

Posted on 11/05/2017 by Conner Flynn

Few things in this life are as terrifying as a xenomorph or a facehugger. So creep out your friends and family by building your very own version of the creepy face-loving creature and its cryo-stasis tube from the Alien movies.

Prop maker Odin Abbott first shows how to make a fully-poseable facehugger using coat hangers and a couple of types of foam. Then he shows us how to build the see-through tube, using a sheet of plastic, some wood, a concrete forming tube, along with some other bits and bobs.

These projects are awesome and the final result makes some great display pieces among your other nerdy memorabilia. They look amazing and will add some creepiness to your collection – probably freak out the wife too, unless she is also a fan of the movies.

Xenomorph Eggs Want to Scramble Your Insides

Posted on 31/03/2017 by Shane McGlaun

I’ve wondered why in every Alien movie why exactly the people walk into a creepy room filled with weird cantaloupe looking things and immediately put their face over it for a nice long gander? You realize that’s how you get chestbursters. Do you want chestbursters!?! Now we have to worry about Xenomorph eggs in our own kitchen. Thanks, ThinkGeek.

Easter is right around the corner and if you are looking for some eggs to celebrate with for your favorite geek, here they are. You’ll get a 6-count carton of Alien Xenomorph glow-in-the-dark eggs. Three of them are unopened, but the other three have facehuggers ready to inseminate your chest.
