Running Press is releasing a new mini bust of the Alien and including a 48 page full color book featuring photos and quotes from the movie.

“Based on the sci-fi horror blockbuster Alien franchise, this one-of-a-kind kit features a Xenomorph bust figure with pop-out inner mandible head and hissing sound at the push of a button, a must-have collectible for fans of the cult series. Also included is a 48-page book featuring quotes and full-color photos from the original 1979 Alien film”.

Sounds good to me. You get a highly detailed ALIEN bust with push button operated tongue that pops out and shrieks at you along with a 48 page book by Robb Pearlman for the low, low price of US$12.95.

The detail on the bust is superb to say the least,  I’m kind of impressed especially considering I don’t expect this item to be very large at this price point.  Maybe 6 inches tall?  …is it 8?  Maybe a foot tall..?  Unfortunately, there’s no information regarding the scale of the item.  I’m going for 4 inches tall.

My only quibble is small but it rankles hard – what exactly is that little spike appearing on the chest where the clavicles meet the sternum?  What is that..?  That’s not a feature I’m familiar with.

Regardless, for US12.95 you get this cool shrieking bust with an action feature and a cute little book.  Not complaining.  This will be available July 3, 2017 directly the from Running Press book publishers online store.
