40 Years ago ALIEN was released to unsuspecting audiences expecting something a lot more like Star Wars.  Instead of space battles and laser swords they were treated to a giant fanged penis shredding a bloody path through John Hurt’s chest and across the dinner table.

Since then, ALIEN has had a lot of merchandise released.  The manufacturers didn’t even know it was going to be R-rated.  As a result a lot of weird things hit store shelves.  Horror website Bloody Disgusting has highlighted some of those goodies. 

This stuff is all well and good and we’ve documented a lot of these things here on HIDEOUS PLASTIC but it can get a lot weirder than Bloody Disgusting’s short list.  While some of the items appearing on Bloody Disgusting were more than just frowned upon, there’s definitely omissions worth mentioning.

There’s a ton of other odd stuff out there, actually.  For example, missing is the Hasbro/PPW ALIEN Mr. Potatohead figure and  ALIEN matryoshka nesting dolls. To really hit that weird button, though, there’s that rubber ovipositor thing that you can use to insert gelatine eggs into any bodily orifice of your choice.  Despite the fact it’s not an officially licenced product, you know you want to.
