Here’s a subtle error that many fans found a little perplexing upon release of Funko’s range of ALIEN Covenant “David” figure. It’s widely accepted this package doesn’t contain David, the android as identified on the box. Instead, this item is intended to be Walter, David’s android upgrade.
For this reason, this Funko POP! figure has earned its place to be celebrated among the various other oddities and production errors that comprise the ImPerfect Organisms section of HIDEOUS PLASTIC. Have fun with those.

It already looks fine from these images but it’s just easier to have Prime 1 Studio recount in their own words what is now being done. “
Released from confinement of his his 3 pack box, Paul Snell, inspected the 3.75 inch action figure to find Brett’s face prominently displays this paint anomaly.
These very dodgy looking samples have been added to separate pages.
XENOMOFOS are an art project parody item I am currently working on.
Nonetheless, as someone who is keen on weird and wonderful bootleg action figures and toys, I intend for this lurid item to become a welcome addition to my ever growing collection of low caliber junk of questionable quality.
I for one, get very excited about the potential for what the day offers and often come away with mixed feelings once it’s over. Some expectations are met while others are not. I am always enthusiastic about new licenced and unlicenced goodies that may be announced, or released but ALIEN Day often ends bereft of any official word from 20thCS regarding any new movie. I personally believe it to be an ideal opportunity for the company to release some form of update or News item or some details or other information regarding the state of play of any future movie. To date, they’ve taken little opportunity to do so and this year may not be any different. 
I have to say, I have no idea what a “Nendoroid” is. I assume it’s a product line native to the Good Smile Company. All the same, that head is tremendously detailed feature, coyly offset by the much less proportionate and stumpy torso and limbs. Neat. Here’s what the supplier has to say about this little… er… face ripping cutie pie. “From the sci-fi horror movie “Alien” comes a Nendoroid of the Alien! While the Alien has been brought down to cute Nendoroid size, its terrifying looks have been perfectly preserved with incredibly detailed modeling.The figure is fully articulated, allowing you to display it in a variety of different poses. Optional parts include a Facehugger, a Chestburster and an alien egg effect sheet! Enjoy mixing and matching optional parts to create all kinds of situations in Nendoroid form!” Sounds good to me despite the fact I still have no idea of what a “Nendoroid” is. I’ll take their word it’s important. Somehow. Release date is November, 2022. Price is around US$95. Looks like a great fun item.
Shirts are available in 15 colours, fit male or female, feature a variety of styles and cover a full range of sizes. I’ve previously seen similar items to this and much like those other merchandise, it appears to be 100% unlicenced. Nothing wrong with that just so long as you don’t mind buying unofficial stuff.
Here is some more information from the publisher, “This exclusive 1:2 scale model is complete with features including lights, remote-controlled sensors to turn the head towards sound AND intricate detailing.Subscribe today to receive a FREE issue, plus your Alien collection mug, binder, movie artwork tin poster and amazing 1:10 scale figurine throughout the collection!” It all sounds wonderful and if you live in the UK and want to subscribe to this ambitious project to construct your own Alien and use it to greet and snarl at people when you open the front door, then this four foot tall space monster featuring electronic components inside its head is perfect.
Among the abundance of features this 1:12 scale (18cm tall) figure includes is “a seamless body designed with an internal skeleton armature that creates the feel of the creature’s suit” and accessories aplenty including a pair of eggs, multiple small Alien forms and a number of interchangeable body parts including hands and mouth parts. Here’s more of what MEZCO TOYZ have to say about this upcoming release “The aggressive eponymous creature has a hinged jaw with interchangeable inner mouths, as well as an interchangeable chest plate pierced by the ASSO-400 Harpoon Grappling Gun, as seen in the final scene of the movie. All of Alien’s accessories have taken on a semi-opaque, milky look to compliment the originally designed Alien suit and honor the conceptualization of what became one of the most iconic movie monsters ever created.”
Hiya’s Predalien will be 5.7 inches tall. This small scale figure will be made from PVC and ABS. It will be highly detailed and super poseable.This figure will be a battle damaged variant with a figure display stand included in the offering. The price is US$29.99 and stock is expected to become available in September, 2022.
Yes! It does get better. Much better!
Dubious items of this nature were created by fans deprived of the opportunity to own legitimately manufactured 3.75 inch ALIEN toys after they were originally planned and then cancelled in 1979. Unusual home grown product like these items, emulating what could have been, were sold at markets and toy fairs to satiate equally enthusiastic fans wanting to own product that was otherwise simply not available at the time. This of course changed in 2013 when Super7 finally released officially licenced versions of these toys. Until then, the only way to own such merchandise was simple. You had to make it yourself.
AP2 is still a great game with a dedicated community still supporting it. The longevity of the title has largely been due to the well crafted intertwining narrative of three entirely different species. Alien, Predators and Humans all playable in a single player story and also represented with up to nineteen different classes in multiplayer. In addition to that, there were literally hundreds of mods players made due to the publisher, Sierra, releasing Monolith’s DEdit and toolset for us to tinker with. As such, the game is still being played twenty years later.
